How do you take over in a line-up?

always let the record play out, many people will have no idea that the person they paid the coin for has finished otherwise.

I think that is a very good point

there is a reason why the promoter has booked you stick to what you do best normally the top billed dj would go on last after warm up djs

This conversation is so bizarre to me. I guess cause there are no real "big name DJs" in the scene I spin in, and the DJs I work with seem to be much more collaborative, that we just mix in and out of each other's songs so the dance floor doesn't stop.

I would never mind if someone mixed out of my last song, as long as they don't cut it off. But hey, if the crowd goes nuts then who am I to judge?

i make sure there is some room between the previous set and mine. People can applaud, cheer, boo, etc, and then i have room to build up some new energy and expectation.
Imho most dj-sets and club-nights these days are way to stale, no peaks, no build-ups, no lows, only one level of energy going on and on and on. This mostly doesn't work for more than 2 hours, so it's a good thing to have highs and lows in a set, but also in a night.

Big example: 2 many DJs in my hometown Utrecht a few months ago. Before them Riton was spinning, it was nice, but the energy was always the same high level. Then 2 many DJ's came on, and they cut the sound and started with a long vocal intro of a chemical brothers track, and kept it going for minutes and minutes, and then, booooom, the beats came in and the entire house exploded like never before.
