I'm sorry, but I cannot just let you get away with that. There are so, so many other factors that would "energise" people on a dance-floor than simply whether the source of one or two elements in the track playing are voltage or digital based.
While analogue stuff does sound better (in my opinion), this, along with the inherent confirmation bias of such an observation, is utter make-believe.

I've been DJing in nightclubs for 20 years. Please take my word for it that I know what I'm talking about here. This isn't a one-off.
- l33tbro 10y agoWell I'm also musician and DJ with about 20 years producing, and 15 years experience performing. I think if you were playing super-minimal, atonal techno or house then for sure - but for genres involving more elements and instrumentation, I just don't see it.
