has it all gone a bit too ravey?

i'm not knocking your night, whatever works for you i guess. i just used mark's set as an example of one of many right now.

it's just not what techno's about for me. i grew up seeing people like jeff mills, fumiya tanaka, rob hood and even sven vath play 3 hours upwards and have the whole club eating out of their hands with no one leaving the dancefloors all night.

The first time BMB played for us in 2004 with Female they did something like 4 1/2 hours and that ranks as one of the best sets i've ever heard. And yet Surgeon's on in Leeds next week playing on a line up of 8 djs/live acts in the space of 7 hours. :whoops:

i must be getting old.

Alright Paul. I'm pretty gutted to be reading this to be honest after I offered to help promote you night by putting your posters in takeaways etc for nowt. And for the record I think your techno lineups are some of the most cutting edge in the UK - so respect on that front.

Generally my nights have acts that play live and therefore I think that an hour is respectable but at the end of the day this is dictacted by the artist.

For Saturday 17th Event at West Indian Centre the running order for the Room 237 room is:

22:00 - 23:00 Daz Quayle
23:00 - 00:00 Rob Hall
00:00 - 01:00 Sleeparchive
01:00 - 03:00 Surgeon
03:00 - 04:00 Mark Broom
04:00 - 05:00 CC DJ b2b P45

Hopefully you can come along

i'm definitely coming next week, looking forward to seeing surgeon and speedy j up the road if they're not clashing.

i wasn't having a go at anyone's events at all, it just seems like there's suddenly loads of nights putting long line ups on with much shorter sets which is something i've not seen for years since the big rave days. it's not something i'm into personally but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for others.

it was the nuclear audio line up that made me think about it more, i just used the surgeon gig next week as another example.

30 mins gives no room to play a particularly interesting set. More like wam bam thankyou maam. I wouldn't bother with an event like that even if it had great dj's across the bill.
