the DJ's job is to be a expert, to know the best of what's
out there and to let you know what the best stuff is which you wouldn't
hear of otherwise. obviously, if they take it too far - e.g., "go buy the
unreleased demo CD by Luke Vibert's 3d-cousin-twice-removed Herbert
Vibert, of which there were only 23 copies made, and buy it RIGHT NOW 'cause
it's fucking brilliant!!!" - that's pretty stupid. but, for the most part,
discussion on this list tends to focus on a particular set of names, and
I like it when DJs inject obscure noise into the signal.
imho.
