Well if his tunes drop off time don't you think he isn't trying to be formulaic?
I have to disagree, you can have tunes that arent not formulated like other tunes... Like using a different riff, miss a beat here and there and chuck in samples at most unexpected places, while still keep the whole track in phrases as techno djs tend mix quick and it's annoying to have to wait for certain part to go by for the mix to flow, or... Miss the breakdown and some juicy bits in latter stage.
