If you hear a shit mix in any style of music it's 100% down to the DJ.

What other factors are there?

(Assuming the rig isn't going south...)

so there are actually good schranz mixes? doubt this. if its a good mix it aint schranz. pretty easy...

I think there is some great schranze out there, as is other techno, but for the good stuff there is a 20-1 ratio of sounds just-the-same as "insert genre leader here"

I think it`s easy to scapegoat schranze, but it`s a wider problem.

Too many people just making tunes to be popular or get ahead/get a name.

Obviously, this is my cynical view though.

no i completely agree, i think the majority of techno and tbh dance on the whole is the same old stuff being churned out over and over again with the exception of a minority of records being unbelievably good.

this is the thing, people are pidgeon holing themselves to one sub genre. if i played for example only tribal stuff it'd get pretty boring, same way shranz is pretty boring after a while.

on the whole i'm not that into shranz but i do own a fair few shranz records that i drop when the time is right. it's all about playing the full spectrum of available music. in my sets you'll hear everythin from funky, tribal, minimal, hard, acid, breaks, shranz etc. keeps it interesting,
