What do people prefer,
an eclectic dj set or the pressure and involvement of a one genre 'journey' type set?
i think overall i stand pro one genre if the genre is good.
the kinda coldcut journeys by dj type mix, just doesn't really work overall for me.
it's skillful clever clever mixing one, creative hypnotic mood building nil. The only journey i want to go with something like that is to the bin i think, its an end unto itself and doesn't lead anywhere, and it's ultimatley impressive but not seductive.
I think the only break to actually create a continuum that electic club mixes have had, has been two things;
the emergence of those richard x type bastard pop tracks, which is basically a single eclectic club mix captured on wax. They should have possibly influenced another genre, pop music but they haven't really, i haven't really heard whitney over krafwerk since.
also mp3 djing software which allows really quick mixing and looping etc, easier to build a groove and break it and take the pop out of the songs it uses.
both these things are one step removed from djing tho as they both involve mp3s not records.
what do you think, completley disagree, is it too late for the one genre set apart from in emerging genres?
