I learned my DJ moves from seeing Girl Talk. That guy puts on a hell of a show with just a lappy and mouse.

I always have a mic, but rarely use it past the occasional "get your f'ing drinks off my table" or "last call'. I often work at small places where I know a lot of the people, so talking to them on the mic isn't too disruptive to my set.

I use the mic for only one reason....to say "The Cops Are Here!"
You guys are a bunch of snobs if you think you standing behind a laptop clicking stuff is a show. People want to be entertained, get over yourself and use the mic once in a while.
How else are you supposed to cover a trainwrecked transition? J/K What if you want to switch genres or play an unreleased track? Don't blab, but saying "Here's some exclusive Jay-z for you" or "Let's take it to Jamaica for a minute" is going to pump up the energy. The mic is a positive thing that adds to your performance, just use it sparingly. If you think it's just about the music, stop DJing and go make mixtapes. It's about the performance too.
