gah! Sorry, had to rant.
People are stupid, Karlos. 2 and 3 hour sets are fun, and more than that makes it a challenge in the good way.
I know, i know. I had done a 6 hour set on my own at the club the nite before so you can imagine what the promoter was thinking when these 3 guys were complaining about 4 hours between them.
They actually ended up doing 3 hours and another guy took over for an hour.
Thing is they were all about 20/21 years old. Brand new Macbook Pros , Traktor Scratch Pro. I gave them CDJmk3s and a DJM 800 and whacking great monitor and free booze.
Whats not to like ??? Id be playing having a ball . Kids eh
I only get an hour for my radio show on wednesdays, and it makes me sad.
I'm not good at things, but I like to pretend I am.

lol i dont understand how people can moan about playing long sets... man i milk every minutes worth of my set hahaha cant get enough of it... maybe those people dont enjoy it?

I've never played at a club, so I can't really relate all that much, but at parties I've DJed at the last thing I was worried about was getting tired of DJing. I'd love to do a 3 or 4 hour set.
I don't understand how these people could whine about having to do an extended set. Isn't this supposed to be fun?!? I can't imagine whining about DJing like I whine about my daytime job..

fatigue is definitely an issue while doing a full set, even if you are completely sober it can be hard to maintain yer concentration after two hours, this is where red bull and such can help.

saw a thread on dont stay in .com where the promoter wanted 3 hour demos, possibly for this reason and to check it wouldn't be an issue.
however i think the first 4 pages were just bitching and whining - which got worse when he said he wouldn't accept 3 normal demos mixed into one
