Speaking of dnb DJs. Has anyone ever heard any dnb DJ who would be interesting to listen to? I've been on a couple of dnb parties with some DJs people were really raving about, as being really good & stuff, but they all spin like track A playing for 3 min than crosfade into track B... no tricks and quick mixing like techno djs. -- http://megaklik.si/sol/ the sound of ljubljana http://www.megaklik.si vasa stran za mega dan http://www.bolha.com bolsji sejem na internetu
