Canada J Soup said:True for the most part, but I think that most people will forgive the odd bad mix as long as the DJ is able to keep the room moving. Personally I'd rather see someone energetically playing quality music with the occasional fuckup than an impeccably mixed set of dull as dishwater tunes. I've heard Jeff Mills flub many a mix both live and in recorded sets, while John Digweed has built his career on segueing flawlessly from one boring record to another.
That is a very good point, and even from a technical point of view, id prefer a DJ to take risks and occasionally fuck it up than just play a safe set...
I find it hard to get out of the DJ mindset though... I want great tunes and great mixing!
