far too much shite getting played that just fills a gap if you ask me.
no clarity, no depth, no funk. but it sound like the rest of my set so i'll play it hahah.
Thats so scarily true, I hear this the magority of the time and its crap.
DJs(I am one)Realy need to learn or dare to create vibe,energy and suspence with their record programming and mixing.
Its like some people are scared of loosing the floor or god forbid standing out by doing somthing different than the guy before him and the next guy after him(sorry, or her)

This may sound a bit Elitist or purist but its not intended that way but....most of the guys and gals that are comming in to techno from another scene be it hardhouse, trance, Hardcore, Hardstyle, drum and bass or whatever seem to miss the point and just bang out the biggest tunes they hav, mixing tracks at the last 16 bars with the only thing reconisable as set dynamics being that it got harder.
And the amount of peeps who get on the decks when its allready blasting out at silly speeds then proceeds to start their set faster.

Shit I could go on about this all day :)

One thing I do know, its shit like this that drives me on to make a point of trying harder to stand out in making and playing music in an individual and creative way.

I love artist but cant stand people who take the paint by numbers approach and pass it off as art(I relise that people dont give a shit about art or prggression so fair play but bums to ya)
