That's a bit of a generalised statement, there are a lot of bedroom dj's who can perform a variety of tricks and skills that would work just aswell as older established names. Surely there are bad and good newcomers aswell as bad and good established dj's there is also a variety of ways to mix some dj's can get a crowd moving by just playing records at the right time others get them going with faster moving mixes. I think there are some very good exponents of both these styles and as many have said already the music being played makes a difference as to which style of mixing suits. Surely a good dj is someone who knows when to play a record for a long time and when to play only a minute or so??? :: To me, I would rather hear someone using THEIR :::creativity with a bunch of deep, sick tracks (see Traxx, Dj Hell, Theo, :::Carlos Souffront, etc.) to make a special moment on the :::dancefloor rather :::than the latest remix of (insert your fave cheesy childhood pop :::song here) find this a bit amusing when Hell's latest FUSE album comes with remixes of frankie goes to hollywood and donna summer as well as remixing barry manilow's copa cabana recently. don't get me wrong I think Hell has done these well but i think this just proves that those who are good can pull of something that would normally sound bad and make it work imho andrew
