You know, there really is a place for every style, from DJ Hothouse Monoculture to balls out eclecticism. I hear 3 or 4 DJs a week, both local and out of town talent, and I've heard exciting inventive sets of 4x4 deep house, and boring 'eclectic' sets. The DJs who realize that they're carrying on a conversation with the audience always do well. The ones who want to punish you, or prove how cool they are, or show how big their dicks are are always a disappointment no matter what they're spinning. I'm sorry to hear that the London club scene has kind of regressed to the idiot mean. That means one thing to me -- it's time to go back to basics, do it yourself midweek in a pub, and turn your back on Peter Tong and Paul Oakenfold and all the other corporate geezers. It's about the music, not about how cool you are or how much money you make. kent williams -- xxxx@xxxxxx.xxx ICQ:33001909
