I've heard many. Most of the time I wouldn't even bother finding out who was spinning unless I really liked the material they were playing.
The most obvious example I can think of was the last Schematic tour, which was a little while ago. The local djs played a ton of dsp idm before Otto Von Schirach, Phoenicia and Richard Devine got on. Most everyone I knew was totally sick of hearing just dsp idm after the second hour, even though that is what we all expected. It would have been nice if the djs varied the music a bit. Luckily Richard Devine's was distinctive enough that it broke away from the mold, and his set rocked.
Perhaps we felt this way because we got there too early. It's often a good rule to skip the locals and get there late for the main acts.
While I know this example isn't the best once, it's first one that popped up in mind and gave me the shivers. I just hear alot of the same type of stuff when I go out. I know part of it is my fault for having bought alot of the same records. If I didn't already own alot of this stuff than it might sound a little fresher to me.
I still think it would be more enjoyable if the djs played more variety. Bust out an occassional wacked out tune, an occasional electro tune or even some interesting jungle/hard techno tune. Make it a little crazy instead of just the same style. Have fun with it

I don't know if i'd be impressed by djs you mention,
but to some degree i'm impressed that there are enough
nights with "idm" djs that you'd be able to be bored with it.
I'm sure that if there were djs here who played idm,
i'd be bored with it if there was no style to it all...
I'm probably the only local that i know who would be
spinning the stuff, which i guess is indicative of our
scene or lackthereof. I don't really have idm djs at
the events i put on though.
