Yeah, mix of styles always the way forward.
Besides, its great now that stuff has slowed down a lot. Acid house, wonky stuff, minimal old and new, even old belgian techno and early hardcore mixes happily together. More opportunities to chop it up than ever before....

And loopdon - totally get you on basslines. The plinky two note minimal basslines get on my tits.
