Even in the last 6 months things have changed - I started playing out in March, and the sets tended to be 1 1/2 hours, but recently, everything is 1 hour.
I suppose it is something to do with fitting in as many dj's as possible.
As a clubber, I quite like short sets, as I find it more interesting, as there is often more variety. Short sets are especially good if you are not enjoying a dj's set, as you don't have to put up with it for long!
But as a DJ, and hour is pretty wank, it really doesn't give give you any time at all - and you only get to play about 12 tunes! I think 1 1/2 - 2 hours is a nice time to play for, just long enough, without being too long!

I'm not saying all hard house DJs are shit, but a disproportionate number do play all the same tunes. My mate who is a hard house / techno promoter says 95% of the mix CD demos he gets contain the same old Nukleuz / Tidy tunes.
biggest critiscm of my mixes is that there havent been enough 'obvious' tunes on them.... maybe I should just play tidy and nukleuz to get bookings then play what I want when I get em

never said the DJs do ask for an hour. i'm only said that i havnt heard many DJs that play their sets much different from an hours set to 2 hours. its still the same tunes. infact sometimes i dont even notice the change in style when a new DJ come one

Bang Bang.
From this point on liquideyes is now my spokesperson.

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.
A DJ can only be as good as his records.

i used to disagree with this statement, but after going though a 'phase' of trying to be amazingly technical and cocking up every mix i've quickly learned that a good DJ plays good records and maybe a little extra if it fits at the time
