there is somthing about techno/ electronic dance music that makes me go insane when i hear it i cannot sit stilli have to dance. MAybe its the build ups that knock you on your ass untill they finnally explode in that 4 bar beat. i dont know but i LOVE It.
Yeah I feel the same way, except I don't feel beatmatching is as hard as you make it seem. It is a DJ skill that is essential, but if practiced it is usually picked up rather easily. It is just training your ear. What is a lot harder is record selection. Building a good set is what seperates great DJs from regular ones. I spin everything from hiphop to DnB and I find DnB and breaks to be the easiest to match up.
