tbh i think its because its a way to occupy themselves so they dont feel socially awkward during a tune. tbh i'd probs do this...

I usually just do a little moving to the beat and cueing/mixing.

Even DJs doing it - FUCKING LOL! Y'all snobby about "real vinyl sets" etc - but you'll stand there "uncomfortable" playing with a fucking tiny phone that can do your entire DJ career for you. Sort it out

Do they often let tunes ride out longer than a couple of minutes? I can see standing there for 4 minutes waiting to play the next track would be kind of weird outside of a club haha. Should just be incentive to try some new mixing styles, tease tunes, double drop etc.

This. I find a lot of the Get Darker sets quite dull TBH. 4min boring dungeon rollout, 32 bar blend, repeat. At least The Aliens tried something different with theirs.

One tweet or status before you go on - fair enough - but not during your set. Even though GDTV don't pay it's still rude/unprofessional IMO.
Radio's not the same as playing a club but if I'm not sweating during a club set I feel like the audience has been short-changed. No need to sweat for a radio/GDTV set but messing around on your phone during your set is whack...these days people fanny around on their phone instead of twiddling their thumbs, and I certainly wouldn't stand there twiddling my thumbs while I'm meant to be entertaining people. Jeeeeeez
