I find alot of hard techno fans are overly concerned with the mechanics of a performance. Sure they're important, but those are quanitative things like the number of unprecise mixes or what the bitrate of the files were. When people focus on the aspects of a performance that are

The set which T is referring to was excellent and Im looking forward to DL this mix, we were suppose to record it but had some probs with the MP3 recorder so it never got done, Ben was a bit gutted which is why this mix has been done. He is doing a chi town set at this party on the 16th-

No analogue signals do too. They tend to do it in a more progressive way where digital signals clip very abruptly but any system is going to have a maximum level which you can't exceed (otherwise we could just use tiny analogue amps and turn them up to 11 or 111 and get huge outputs!).

I think that this brings up a very strong point that I tend to discuss with other music geeks, like me. When is too much technical focus too much? It seems that Rich, while a great dj, seems to have focused on the technical aspect of his sets, whereas he used to really focus on the crowd and

The difference is with the waveform. Compression/distortion is not (...really) the same as clipping. And generally speaking, they're recognized as being the result of a lack of analogue or digital overhead respectively. You can call it what you want, and in extreme cases of compression, you can

With Mills, it has always been, and always will be about the fact that at any time it feels like everything is going to fall apart at any second. I saw him last year in August 2005 at Lost, and many of the people with me thought he was terrible, because he wasn't tight. Yawn. He was incendiary
