Some of the worlds biggest pop acts regularly lip-synced to backing tracks of their current hits, but where did this leave DJ&#8217;s and producers who had began to permeate the world of POP? \u00a0 DJ&#8217;s basically make a living standing behind a table watching other people have fun and for &#8220;TOTP&#8221; the boundless energy and peaks and troffs of a 5 hour DJ set needed to be crammed into a three to five minute performance of a recent cross-over dance track. You could expect endless record queing, decks not connected to anything, extremely hastily coordinated dance moves and ATB in his DJ castle. \u00a0Hilarious and unintentionally brilliant performances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Witness:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"word-spacing: normal;\">Armand Van Heldan literally not givin a fuck!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 20px;
