fair play mate - real good rant :clap: :clap:

I sometimes got affected by some of the words said on these forums (thinking: if I play these kinda tracks and drop this over that then Im not techno enough etc. and that if I make a loop track then its not techno enough?!!!), but I stopped myself and remembered what I loved - the music - irrespective of the name - i also enjoy listening to hip-hop, breaks, electro, county and western, a bit of house, some trance and a bit of pop but mostly techno.

If I stood by every word uttered on forums like these I really would get affected. The dancefloor is usually where techno has its biggest impact and that is where you have the ability to show your stuff as a DJ - people have remembered my sets more when Ive dropped stuff like Missy Elliot over Crystal Distortion tracks for instance rather than (insert sub-genre) techno track mixed seemlesly into another (insert same sub-genre) techno track . . .

. . . and I also hate it when people say "what kind of style is yours?"

its all techno . . .

and (tongue in cheek :lol: )Dustin you shouldn't realy be giving the secrets of how to become a good DJ away on a forum - you born with that shit ;) or not lol
