:I think there actually is some truth to this, and it's not :necessarily a bad :reflection on European DJs. The most plausible theory I've heard is that :it's to do with the higher age limit for buying alcohol in America. :Americans from 18-21, when they go out to a club, can't (legally) :drink, and :so to them it's more of a directly musical experience - they want a DJ to :actually keep them interested throughout the night, and are less fussed :about being able to dance, so a culture has evolved whereby American DJs :with good track selection but no deck skills often don't go down well with :the 18-21 club audience, which is sober enough to pay attention to what's :going on. In Europe, the younger audience is more likely to be drunk, and :therefore less likely to notice an unoriginal or even slightly bad mix - :they want to dance, not watch DJs perform.
er, i could be wrong (not being from america and all) but surely if the age limit is higher younger people wont get into clubs rather than being allowed in and not allowed to drink (as this would be nightmarish to enforce (checking id on every drink purchase rather than once on entry) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
