I'll check it out at some point. Yeah I prefer those types of mixes anyways. Something that takes you somewhere. I usually go through 3 or 4 genres of 4/4 stuff in any given set.
Brostep has just took the making tracks in your underwear on yr laptop with pre-made loops thing to such a disgusting level that its taken the fun out of it around here.. Then you have an uninformed "new" audience that scoffs at house/techno and anything without "wub"s. Goddamn its so fucking irritating... Yeah there’s a lot of DJs in general, but at least most house/4/4 types have played vinyl, learned the classics and where it came from... etc. Maybe some dubstep DJ's do, but around here the tracks are horrible, the mixing skills near non existent, and mostly use the cheapest controller available w/o ever having touched vinyl. This usually happens anytime there's a new fad 'it" genre in underground electronic music. Electro was big for a few years and everyone played that, tribal house, etc. But the scale is so much larger and such horrible quality passes for good music, it's really discouraging. It just really irks me, and I think now there's a rift between the old school purists and this new generation (below the age 22-23) that I can't hardly see ever being bridged. Fuck it. Maybe it SHOULD just be a pop genre... Make Korn & Britney Spears remixes. Leave the real underground alone, we were doing fine.
(Ironically I'd rather talk about why AnCo lost their "oomph" after SJ/MPP -- maybe another day
