I think you are 100% correct about that - the best sets I've heard are from those who have a hip-hop background and have unbelievable skills. This is about 1% of all the hard techno DJs out there.

I think it is a problem with the record selection and a lack of creativity on the part of hard techno DJs who are content to follow a formula, and simply get paid. I only really like about 25% or less of the more banging techno sets I listen to. >>>>> a lot of people will probably barf all over this statement but i think one of the toughest things to do is play a well programmed hard techno set.
