the more i read this, the more i ask myself if you guys have ever heard a really superb dj (which e.g. jeff mills is a solarsystem away from). even techno can be mixed fast but smooth, interesting but building. i can't understand why people like this "i need to play 10 vinyls in 3 minutes" style, no matter what comes. no matter if it even is more bumping than smooth. this always makes me completely confused when i heard a good track and another one is rolling in like a train in my face, 5 beats faster than the one which is just playing (umfgadumppengbaengbumm). even if i seem to be alone on this point of view, but i can't dance to that. i love to spin two tracks for 10 minutes (if possible) together and play around with them. there is much more a good dj can build up than with crashing tracks into each other. rp[rf]
