has it all gone a bit too ravey?

in my opinion, techno works best when you layer a shit load of subtle changes within the frequencies you're hearing. I think to do this best you can't do this with a short set, as it takes time for these frequencies to manifest into what they are becoming. Contrary to what short, choppy, "going for it" 1/2 Hour sets seem to try to do, i find them the opposite and usually boring.

I get why DJs have to adapt, but whats the point in booking them in the first place if one is asking them what to do? If thats the case play yourself!
