DNB Dj caught miming to recorded set.. thoughts?

[SlavikSvensk]

not saying all dnb djs tend towards the boring and excitement-free, mate. just that the scene doesn't generally ask much of its djs, or perhaps a better way to put would be that the scene is flooded with even more bland djs than normal for electronic dance music. for as long as i can remember, most dj sets have relied on the tracks having dramatic breakdowns, and an MC going on about something or other. so why bother even making a CD in advance? you can be a perfectly mediocre dnb dj with less hassle :)

(obviously it's better to approach music with some thought and effort, as you say)

dammit i'm trying to stick up for dnb here but you're pretty much right (allthough in copenhagen djs that can barely hold together a 120-130bpm 4/4 mix are a dime a dosen). there's a reason why i tend to check this forum more then the dnb ones now. things like mcs (a curse!) and formularic music with no shelf life are pushing me away.
