Not dance-able? You are not trying hard enough.

This just sounds smug. Sounds like you are challenging me to "wow" you. Challenge Accepted.
I meant keep-the-hype-up-and-the-excitement dance-able. Not dubstep dance-able. The style of dubstep that it seems like you're keen on playing is going to be slow, boring, dubstep. I don't really know how else to word it without excessively repeating myself or contradicting myself. But it's extremely slow. There's very little in the actual break-down. Very few beats that just happened to be well-timed with slow music to match.
I'm not against [slow] dubstep. But what it seems like you plan on playing is simply not rave-like material in sense that I think you should be aiming for. I thought, as an anime convention rave DJ, it was your job to bring extreme hype to the crowd. Get them pumped up and excited.
I feel like what you're planning on playing with this dubstep will do the opposite, catering only towards the few that enjoy only[/mostly] dubstep and know [only] how to dance really very... quietly, for lack of a better word, to it.
And yes, don't take it the wrong way, but I am expecting you to "wow" me. Good DJs are supposed to do that. If they weren't amazing, they wouldn't be on stage. They'd be in the rest of the crowd, while someone else was up on stage spinning. To be honest, I'm still waiting to be "wow"d by you in any genre of music. I'm not looking for "Wow! This is the BEST DJ I've EVER heard! I never want to listen to anyone else!" but I'm tired of walking out early thinking, "Wow, that... could have gone better. He should/could have done this, and this, and this, etc..."
I understand that many others think you're really the best person ever to be DJing at NDK. And I realize that it's relative; most of them probably haven't been out to hear many other DJs live, etc.
But I just think there's a lot you can improve on. You're not bad. But you've got a lot to improve on. Because the people mentioned above are not the only people you're playing music for.
And back to dubstep, that's kind of where I pull in my opinion with Schmoopy's: there is just SO MUCH bad dubstep out there. SO much. There seems to be no end as to how bad someone can make dubstep sound. And as I've always found your DJing somewhat lacking, I'm just not sure if I'd want you up there trying to play dubstep if there is SO MUCH that can go WRONG with it. Not you. The music.
So. Yes. I am challenging you to "wow" me. But I'd preffered to be wow'd with other genres of music before I can believe that you'd be able to wow me with dubstep. It's a hard genre to conquer.
