>From what I gather, Body & Soul had a particular vibe that doesn't necessarily translate outside its own peculiar context. I have been at Deep House-centric events with what I imagine to be a similar feel. What makes that sort of event different is that there are a lot of people in attendance who are not at all ravey, but just love to dance. They have favorite tracks that make them make wave their hands in the air and make this face:

The same music in another context could well come off as rather cloying and slack. My personal taste is for more varied sets, where it's not one uplifting vocal house anthem after another. In other words, variety and contrast make a DJ set enjoyable, something that seems not to have occurred to a lot of DJs.
