has it all gone a bit too ravey?

i'm not knocking your night, whatever works for you i guess. i just used mark's set as an example of one of many right now.

it's just not what techno's about for me. i grew up seeing people like jeff mills, fumiya tanaka, rob hood and even sven vath play 3 hours upwards and have the whole club eating out of their hands with no one leaving the dancefloors all night.

The first time BMB played for us in 2004 with Female they did something like 4 1/2 hours and that ranks as one of the best sets i've ever heard. And yet Surgeon's on in Leeds next week playing on a line up of 8 djs/live acts in the space of 7 hours. :whoops:

i must be getting old.

i wouldn't worry too much about it - variety is the spice of life as they say.

these days it's harder to fill clubs than it used to be, especially techno events. and people paying to go to clubs just want value for money so booking more artists makes sense when filling events, especially the bigger ones where more is at risk. and either way, it just depends on the night doesn't it? and who's on.

surgeon is playing in two hour set in leeds next week. nothing wrong with that. he played for three hours for us last and he was awesome, people loved it. but i still think that these days most would be just as happy to hear him for one hour if the dj/live act following on from him was just as good.

30 minutes is a bit ridiculous though. i agree with you on that.

just like playing back to back though init, only get 30mins then and most are happy to do that



i do think that some of the massive line ups do look silly , but its what the paying public want, loads of djs for half the price


long as the dj's themselves dont mind doing it and have a good time playing their set then its ok with me :cheese:

glad to hear it, i want to catch him and speedy j next week if i can.
just hope they're both on at different times.

short sets are bollox.

whats the point in playing less that an hour?

minimum should be 90 mins.

as for the idea of if someone plays 30 mins they play all the best tunes....thats hillarious laughed my cock off then.
