Hey Sash,

Greta topic for a thread! ;)

In Ny the raves have always tried to represent as many styles as possible, be it all in their own seperate rooms or 4x4 in the main and Breaks D&B (or hardcore) in the side rooms.

This forulma seemed to work and brings kids together that wouldn't normally go to see the acts in the dreaded "other room"! And it also gives people the chance to get a taste of something new that they might actually like but wouldn't normally have been exposed to.

On the other hand I think DJ's themselves should be a little more experimental and LEARN how to take chances and make certain gene crossings during their sets. If done right you won't clear the dancefloor (at least not all of it!) if the new gere isn't drastically different. If everything stays within the right mood, you'rs usually safe - hard w/ hard, dark w/ dark, cheese w/ cheese etc.

Have some balls and take a chance, if it sux you'll just switch back and recover from it, if it rocks your the muddafukkin man, and welcome to 2004!
