funny you should say this as i went to creamfields this w/e (for those in the US it's a big, mostly soulless commercial festival where people go to get rained on) and whilst i liked what people like umek were playing i can't beleive that people like that think a set of dj tools and nothing else is acceptable. this gives techno a bad name. >Don't attempt to redefine it because it doesn't fit in with your very >narrow >ideas of what you expect from it. i think the point is the exact opposite to the above, most techno nites are happy to have a dj use looped tools _all_ nite in one long bangathon. this puts people off techno (me included). this is not a detroit versus uk vs euro thing either (to keep on topic, 313 djs that i've seen play techno from all over) this is an imagination thing and most techno djs that i see fail on that count. robin... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
