Dj battling is such a foreign concept to me as a trance/techno dj. Like I'm not sure how you're supposed to compare two different djs that play 9 records an hour. Like woo, you really picked a subtle key change to lift up the energy slightly after building tension for 20 minutes by playing repetitive drum-heavy tracks!

lol Check out redbull 3style. You made me laugh though. Thanks.
> DJs are given 15 minutes
Lol, at 15 minutes, i'm like halfway into my second song, lol.
I used to rage at the pointlessness of 1 hour sets, I wouldn't even bother with a gig that advertised 15 minute slots.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this conversation is a musical journey. That is a talent in itself. A surprisingly difficult on in fact - which even many top DJs don't do well. But it's a very different style of DJing to the stuff DMC turntablists would be adept at.
It's two different worlds - like comparing progressive rock to punk and saying "they're both guitar music"
