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!
I agree with this... the point of techno when I first started listening to it at parties is that each of the elements of a track would be subtely brought forward and focused on throughout the mix...

...an amazing sound would become apparent late on in a track, which you would get off on, only to realise on listening again, at home say, that that particular sound had been running through the track all along... hmmmm:coffee:
