Intermusicality is pretty prevalent, and often it's unintentional as in these two:

What’s the music like?
I've only got the Wellington one to go on, they seem to have a different person in charge of playlisting it each time so it does vary. But they post their playlists on their Facebook page after the events - below is the one for the night that I went:
Lorde – Million Dollar Bills
Cornershop – Brimful Of Asha
Crystal Castles – Year Of Silence
The Kills – Cheap And Cheerful
The Smiths – This Charming Man
Paloma Faith – Upside Down
Justin Timberlake – Señorita
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Black Tongue
Battles – Ice Cream (Featuring Matias Aguayo)
Peaches – Boys Wanna Be Her
Hot Chip – Don't Dance
The Hives – Tick Tick Boom
Gwen Stefani – What You Waiting For?
N.E.R.D. – Everyone Nose (All The Girls Standing In The Line For The Bathroom)
Vampire Weekend – Diane Young
Lykke Li – Get Some
SJD – Baby You're Oh So
Basement Jaxx – Where's Your Head AtI think I only knew four or five of the songs, recognised a few other artists (although Peaches made me think of Girlschool for some reason), but most of them were pretty danceable and I didn't hate anything - Justin Timberlake was probably the least enjoyable, Ms Stefani & Basement Jaxx the most fun. I thanked the playlister afterwards for playing heaps of female vocalists, I find that tends to be unusual on the rare occasions I'm out for a boogie.
Is there somewhere nice to sit down and take a break? (I see they’re a bit stern about talking on the dancefloor.)
I expect that depends on the venue, and if it's Wellington, how much you like sitting on a wooden floor! They're currently using the upstairs of Thistle Hall and had no seating that I could see. There were toilets available downstairs but it's pretty spartan. I gather the point is to go there and have a dance, not to catch up with your mates :)
