There's a plug-in that lets you emulate the thing shorting out.

Other settings include ominous 60-cycle buzzing, horror movie lightbulb flickers and smoke.

Re: What do the people on the dance floor want from dance music?

It's sad though if you're just going to whore yourself to whatever's popular. Do you want to make a crowd dance so badly that you'll pick whatever?
