To progress or not progress, that is the question!

Just wonderin:

Who would rather listen to a set (at home or in a club) and hear a really well organised set, where each tune relates to the last tune, and that steadily progresses from beginning to end, and who would rather listen to a set thats plain simple 'bang bang bang, hoover hoover hoover'

Personally I prefer well thought out set that progresses logically.

prog

Has to be progression for me to enjoy it.  As someone said - it just gets boring. 

Steve Thomas is the master.  Farley's pretty good too when he's building it up.

Progression !

A night needs to keep building and building up .

I hate when some1 hammers the bollox out of it at the start it fucks up the night and you notice new faces that prob aint mad in2 hh coming into the club and running straight back out . I also think its dis respectfull towards the djs on afterwards . .

In reply to

This should be fun, where's Flymo

Sets should progress, except for the last set or 2, I can't think of anything more boring than listening to 8 hours of militant hoovers

Do you mean the last set should not progress, or doesnt really have to progress?? Or do you mean the last set should include lots of nasty, dirty hoovers??

Its my opinion that even the hardest sets should still include some progression.

Another thing I hate djs moaning what time there playing at and also djs that think there better  the harder they play,  fucking drive any1 to hate the style . 

Thats probably what Id do if someone proper banged it out before me, slow it down a little and build up again. Like you say though it could easily backfire, people could veiw it as the night not actually progressing properly.

I remember when I was at Kube in Wakefield once, they had Hixxy and Slipmatt on, Hixxy proper banged it out with typical hardcore, then Slipmatt came on and slowed it right down, playing stuff like 'Joyenergizer' and 'The Drill', for me that totolly ruined the structure of the night, having it fast as fuck then reducing it to pretty damn boring! Idiot!!! There was some puzzled faces that night! (especially Hixxy!!!)

forget progression within a particular style for a minute, i'd like to see a return to having a mix of styles throughout a night like they used to have at some of the QUE clubs events and most free parties.  Makes a night more interesting IMO and more memorable.  I went to insomz a few years back and it was like some kind of purist hell with each DJ playing a similar style of hardhouse

whilst seeming to contradict my last post, i agree with this sentiment.  If your out to bosh then thats what you want to hear, warm ups should be kept to the pre club bar.

Give us hard boshin but move around the styles a bit
