yeah, well your suggestions are bang on. unfortunately, i'm afraid that beatprt has been infected with the pretentious,grandiose, and ultimately ridiculous bullsh1t that minus has been doing the past few years. Beatport affecting your sense of taste? STFU. Beatport's built their business by impressing the sort of lame-a55 DJ's whose taste is entirely in their mouths. Call me elitist, but as soon as genres like trance and progressive are presented with a straight face next music i care about, their credibility was gone. and yeah i felt strongly enough about it to type it one-handed.
