From my point of view, I want to make good tunes and the "live" aspect comes from how people might use that tune in a dj set or whatever.
I think a lot of this challenges the traditional notion of what music, and clubs are for. It is wierd enough as it is that DJ's are a focal point, maybe if you removed that and just had a bloody ipod pumping out the tunes people would lose that focal point and be forced to look back at themselves.
I really just do not see any point in performing this stuff live other than theatre and egotism.
