Its only a disappointment if you're expecting a climax. Thats what I tell my gf anyway.
BAMMMMMMM. I was thinking of puns for like a good half hour man. I think I nailed it. You think I nailed it? I've got others if you dont think I nailed it. but I nailed it.
But yeh, I think it mostly promising one thing and delivering another. In the first you're expecting a drop and a continuation of that melody/theme/whatever and he is all like "nah m8, taking this song other places now". In the second its similar, except it complete skips to another genre. I like dubstep, but I don't like this habit of chopping up samples without any real attempt to mix it all together, or err, dub it I suppose. If you just cut straight from one style to another thats not really a dubbing, thats a track change honey. Itunes does that.
not every song should be a banger. it is important for the set as a whole to build tension. the best djs will take you on a ride, which means not blowing your load every 5 minutes.

If the point of that particular track is not to be a banger, why put the buildup there in the first place? It's like if you're doing a monologue, and you want it to be a serious affair - then you put in a setup for a punchline. And you don't make the punchline.
Its called the bridge not an anti climax. It preceeds to chorus. You should probably listen to a live or studio mix, not individual songs. The structure of electronic music we have, which you described, has never ever been about individual songs, as forgotten by kids on youtube that just want to hear that one anthem on repeat. In amix, such 'anti-climaxes' deliberately give you space to layer a tune on. - check my soundcloud, theres some 3 deck mixes on there I did, in which you'll never hear a single bridge on its own: www.soundcloud.com/drop271
Secondly, you should probably go hear music at a club, its much less boring with actual bass
anyway, my 2cents, from 12 years of djing anyway...

i listen to almost nothing but live music (not all of it 'electronic' but a good amount) and i think we are talking about two different things
