Try telling the film director he doesn't understand everything "behind the 
film" without having studied the chemistry of celluloid and the mechanics 
of cameras... ;)

A good DJ does not need to understand everything "behind the music". He 
needs to understand everything in front - the music as experienced by the 
dancers. By definition nothing else matters, because his goal is the 
dancers' enjoyment.

AJ, there is no "but". The musicians either play tango how the dancers 
want it or they are soon out of a job. That's life.
