It might just be me, but mostly I see all of these djs that seem to be playing exactly the same songs as the next guy, who is playing the same songs as the next guy, who are all playing stuff off of charts that they get off the internet... I always thought that with the technology giving everyone a leg up on the necessary skills (beatmatching, phrasing etc) we would see a whole bunch more creativity in set programming. Instead I seem to hear the same 20 or so songs in differing order with an entirely overused emphasis on transitions using effects. Its almost like people don't give a shit that the mix sounds bad because 8 beats before the next phrase they are going to do the super echo delay filter slicer cue point juggle trick...whatever happened to eqing the shit out of your mix and just letting the songs speak for themselves...
