The problem with going to electronica shows is some of the less talented dj's will just go up there and do exactly that...dj. They play their own songs straight and maybe throw in a few songs from other electronic artists. Kind of dull. The good ones will remix, tease, and pretty much jam as much as they can with electronic equipment while reading the audience's reaction and adjusting accordingly. The result is pretty epic, so I highly recommend checking out a couple shows. Even if you aren't a huge fan of a particular dj, you will still probably have a good time. Since the music is (usually) made for dancing everyone gets really into it. There are usually opening dj's as well...Bassnectar had one but I can't remember what he called himself.

So, yes...everyone should experience a show like that. It's so much fun.
