the point is: you are not.
Two completely different things: music for PA and commercial CD for airplay/homestereo. Different dynamics.
If a "dance" DJ does not understand this, they should mix at home, on the hifi, playing really "loud" cds, for his pets and family.
DJ-ing is also an art. Sure there are some "completely overdrive all the time" jojos around. I can't blame em, because they are already deaf as a stone (99% of them). I notice when taking over, I have to put the monitor, and headphone levels back to normal. It's a bit sad to hear someone turn a good punchy colourful tune to unrecognisable mush. But hey, NO RULES!
This is just a percentage. Good, really good DJs know what they are doing, volume-wise, all the time, and of course, it is absolutely essential to have kickass PA in a good room. For instance I really LOVE the sonics in Paradiso, Amsterdam. BIG AND FAT.
