well the younger chaps have the edge on me for enthusiasm these days i'm sure about that.
but maybe a bit of experience can go a long way.
and to be honest i'm just as passionate as always about PLAYING music just maybe not so passionate about TALKING music these days.
as talking about it rarely unearths anything new for me anymore.

as far as the london scene goes it still relies very heavily on the older guys to pull in the people
but i put that down to the crowd and not the dj ability.

in all honesty , it is still the older guys who are playing the best dj sets for me. i have to say it.
i love the energy of younger djs but as i grow older myself i feel more connected with people who mix and match a little more and show their history by their choice of records.
this style of elctronic music is only 15 or so years old
still a baby
the movement is splitting into older and younger groups , perhaps eventually it will settle down and the genre thing will relax a little

personally i cannot wait for that time to happen.
