Why do DJ´s play an entire set with just their own tunes?
..or am I missing an important point about DJ´ing here somewhere?
Essential mix track list

Well, it's all for themselves these days, so quiet understandable that he promotes his own stuff.
It's not like building a scene together as back in the days.

I wish I could get away with that. I'd do my entire set from a recliner with a Wii remote.

Frankly, I'd do the same.
play an entire set of my own music, i mean. not the Wiimote and recliner thing... although maybe I would.
With a beer helmet and a bowl of nachos on the side.

Time to resurrect my Daft Dunk/Justice tribute band. Get your Power Ranger costumes and illuminated crosses out and it's on.

Just because someone plays electronic music doesn't mean they're a DJ. If I had enough quality tracks to be playing out I would also only play my own tunes. Expecting anything else is like going to a chili pepper's concert and expecting them to play aerosmith songs

taken from an interview with deadmau5 and it was an interview he gave to one of our national news papers the irish daily star and it goes as follows
red hot canadian producer deadmau5 hits irish shores this weekend but local dj's better keep out of his way.
the five times beatport award winner told clubmix in an explosive interview that he HATES dj's and think they're all fucking cunts. deadmau5 prenounced dead mouse said he will only perform live shows of his own music and think dj's should be extinct. he says it puts me to fucking sleep to be quite honest, i dont really see the technical merit in playing two songs at the same speed together and it bores me to fucking tears and hopefully with all due respect to the dj type that will fucking go the way of the dinosaur id like them to disafuckingpear. joel continued, its so middle man,they're like fucking lawyers you need them,but they're fucking cunts. god bless them they're my number one customer right so im not gonna go diss every fucking dj.but to say you become this massive up on a podium performer by playing other peoples productions at the same speed as someone eles productions and fading between the two of them, i don't get it.

But sometimes DJing is the only way for a white kid to get out of suburbia. Do you have any idea what it's like to step outside your house and be surrounded by nothing but college educated professionals? It ain't pretty.
