very agreed... the problem is though... how many djs can "handle" djing for more than 90-120 minutes...shit nowadays 60 minutes is the normal set... ?? of the djing ive seen over the past years... the ones that stand out are the long building sets: i.e. Mixmaster Morris, Lauren Garnier, Richie Hawtin... david morales, danny teneglia, carl cox....and well thats about all.. a few other sets stand out...(atmospheric audio chair--chicago..but thats more of a collective) but are not even in the same "league" as what tese individuals have done. i agree let djs who can pspin for over 3 hours... LET THEM. but as was mentioned in a deleted section: the promoters need $$$$ very few djs can have the draw of the aforementioned djs. therefore we will still continue tos ee less of it....unless in a club.setting (which is fine by me...the club setting that is..just wish more clubs were near me) anyways..let the chaos continue
