No, not at all. Some tracks (especially prog tracks) work better being long as the beauty of the track is in the way it seamlessly builds from start to climax and then slowly builds down from climax to end. And there are some tracks, like Hudson Street, that are so phatt, so well produced that they could go on for 15 mintues and not get boring. It depends on the track obviously.

totally agree with that.prog is all about the build up. sashas albums are like 1 long track in a way as u dont really notice the switch of tracks n they jus flow seamlessly into each other. those tracks go on 4 agesssssssssssss but still grips u all the same. its all about the choice of tracks imo

Actually, techincally the longest track i've got is a track played by Armin Van Buuren in a special 3rd hour of one A State Of Trance episode. It was a one hour track by Ben Liebrand. To many, having a track that last for one hour might sound completely absurd but I thought it worked really well. Was progressive in the extreme obviously.

i agree wth that. prog house mixes can go on 4 days an the tracks last for a good 6 mins each anyway. its all about long mixes wth prog which obviously is different frm dnb. Have to say tho i really dont like any dnb myself.

sorry, but in a club i would be bored stiffless listening to a track for 15 mins, only a **** dj would let a tune play for that long. house, doesn't really have much progression in it, only style i can think of that does is oldskool hardcore.

sounds gd mate. did u get a chance to listen 2 the mix i made or not? if u did be honest with me about what u thought
cheers

DJDJ - you listen Drum & Bass. Drum & Bass works differently to other types of dance music. Drum & Bass isn't about subtle progessions in tracks or gradual build ups. That's why you don't like progressive styles of house, hard house and trance. Each to their own. A Drum & Bass DJ that plays a track for more than 10 mins may be ****e in your eyes - but things work differently in other genres.

well said

I'm a little busy moving my music collection onto a new 320 gig hard drive at the mo - I'll have a quick listen when I get chance.

u obv dont listen 2 much house then do u. ever come across prog house mate??? u ever heard of sasha digweed???????ur jus thinkin house = funky house. ther is all sorts of house music prog n deep happen to be my fave. some of sashas mixes go on 4 ageeeeeeesss an sound mint. i went 2 see danny howells carl cox oakie etc last week n they all played tunes 8min an over. u might find that boring but others dont. jus the way it is

i listen to chicago and deap house. i own chicago records that sell for £50 on the market.

electro, minimal, tech, deep, funky, soulful, chicago, piano and loads more, im not stupid m8, i know a lot about music.

and *******s they let the tune play for 8 mins, what a croak of ****. And what are you talking about mixes that go on for ages? are you talking about the actual mixing of two tunes? or his set.

not my thing. do a deep/chicago house one and ill give it a listen.

sign me up! love my HardTrance

just put it down to the fact that you're starting out, and not that that is how house djs mix, coz thats not true in the slightest.
