what's interesting is that by all accounts the early house djs like larry levan and frankie knuckles and ron hardy did just this. they'd sometimes play records over and over and over again in one night until the crowd was going insane. and they're considered mad geniuses and forefathers of electronic music. i've always thought it would be entertaining, as a dj, to play just one record back to back to back for sixty minutes. but can i really condone either of those? probably not. regardless, thanks for saying something that wasn't MERELY inflammatory. peace, frank dj mix archive: http://www.deejaycountzero.com
