I think people are describing problems endemic to DJing, regardless of scene or style. Most DJs are just boring. No
confidence to cut it up, no breadth of collection (no one's forcing you go give up record X because you can only afford record
Y), and no faith in the audience to get with their flow. People tie themselves to scenes and thus convince themselves that
they must limit their sound. I could only get about 5 minutes into some of the sets people have been linking to because I can
only take so much of "scratchy beat with a vague ambient melody" records. As much as it's the crutch of laptop composers, so
go the DJs.
