Interesting this - rewind back to the earlier days of clubbing, even from the late 70s into the late 90s, and DJs would often play for 5/6/7 or even 8 hour sets (Levan, Tenaglia, Krvorkian etc) and of course theyd take their crowds on what was known as the journey - often spiritual, often ecstatic, and always memorable. Fast forward to today and we read a paragraph from an online piece on How Long Should A DJs Set Be? And we quote: “The current trend in the rave and festival scene is a very low attention span in the crowds. They get bored easily,” explains San Francisco-based EDM DJ John Beaver. I have had to make edits out of most all my songs, cutting out the second breakdowns so I can mix into something new quicker.” Go figure! .... thoughts? #SIgnOfTheTimes
