Was at Dance Valley last week, caught Dave Clarke 4 the first time, there was at least half his set (which I saw) when he was only beatmatching pushing tunes in..... At the speed of me djing.... I was a bit disappointed not to see he pushes 7 buttons and fly his records all over the place... I only hold that expectation after hearing his I Love Techno 99 mix, which every mix is on ****ing fire.

On the other hand, I was thrown by Technasia's chrunchy beats and skills on 3 decks.... Well worth the trip for that one.

And Seeing Carl Cox playing at the speed of a trance dj, for the last set at Dance Valley 10th Anniversery, fireworks going off half way through his set.... Reassures me that he is sucessful, and he doesnt have to try.

Oh and Jeff Mills I caught. A full 5 mintues of it. The same record the whole time... Isnt he suppose to able to play 140 records an hour?

So another word, just how over the top you need to be when you get your gigs regardless your performance?
