no you are absolutely right! that's why people who play hard and INTERESTING with their own personal style can make even the most rigid and boring monotracks funky: Claude Young! Mills obviously. Surgeon and Jay Dehman can bring it too, when in form. The problem is there's for every interesting hard techno DJ there's 100,000 20 year kids with the same records and no skills or ability to program/mix it, it's just a Beyer megamix yawnfest. It's okay they'll outgrow it ;) peace, Matt MacQueenm
