Can't agree with you more Marc! It's def. not about categorical definitions at all... though I need to. because of my reviews.
Imo most of these 'styles' are just simular, because of choice of technology... But at the end it's all about the soul within. I also like to neglect my personal emotional connections towards a record and totally neglect the year it has been released, so I can creat a mix as objective as possible... and that really works! This way I never have to fear a night of only one certain categorie... For example I used to be resident DJ at Panama, Amsterdam, in their first year of it's excistance. Because I totally disregard any categories I am able to mix Soul, Funk, Hiphop, House and even some deep Techno! The manager of this venue returned me a load of respect while I wasn't allowed to play any House records... but at the end of every night the people seriously went home with tears in their eyes. The manager was even crazy enough to not book Roy Ayers for their opening showThough now Francois K. & Derrick May are playing there next weekend and simular DJ's too. And you already guessed it they don't want too Jazzy records. Btw Lester I was just wondering in general, not any specific records. Nobody beats Cosmic car... ; ) Dr. Nutcracker
