sometimes i kind of like to let the previous dj's tune ride out. quick pause. then run something that makes a statement of intent, on some: "this is me. and this is what your gonna hear" steez.

Yeah, I do that especially if the DJ before's at a completely different vibe/BPM, but when doing that you run the risk of losing the crowd & energy.

Agreed. It all really depends on the situation.

Fake Blood opening with HZ & Tones is definitely in my top 5.
