are you talking about that youtube vid? you're completely missing the point.

no.

There must be something about those Detroit guys. I saw Stacy Pullen do a set many years ago and he was the same way with his records. It was like he grabbed a hand full from his house, hopped a plane, showed up to the gig and just started slapping records on the decks. He wouldn't even mix all of ...

when they did that Wizard event in... '97ish?... it was the first time he'd been in Detroit in many years. there was a radio show Jeff had in the mid to late 80's on wjlb. it was like house and hip hop. lots of snipits of songs mixed together. not jeff mills techno. yeah.. that's what i was talking...

Part of me thinks if a track is worthwhile and the producer wanted it to be 8 minutes, then play the whole thing, as the producer intended. I dunno, just curious I guess. if you're doing this you may has well not be there at all. create a playlist, turn on crossfade playback in itunes, hit play, go...

I agree that the OP is spending a lot of time on the wrong things. I disagree that good music is the answer. Take a look, there is a lot of questionable music on Beatport that actually supports my point. barriers to entry falling is a good thing. people should be able to get into music, or any othe...
