I know your just trying to provoke things a little, i was a tiny bit offended haha but on the other hand you are kinda right! Checked out your soundcloud, nice mix man!

But to get back on topic, i agree with a lot of you guys on letting the track and the crowd decide on how long a track should run. If the crowd is just chilling out i let the track run untill the point which will give me the most exiting switch, preferable while mixing it over harmonicly.

play the 20 minute version for the two mother fuckers that understand it

I play mainly tech-trance and sometimes electro/dubstep/harder styles depending on the gig/party/mood!! Sometimes i only use one loop out of a track or a few seconds depending on what im feeling.
I guess this thread doesnt apply to my style of music and I suppose if you were playing top 40 you'd probably play most of the track unless it was killing the dancefloor

Traditional Progressive House is more like 10 to 15 minutes. :P

I agree, as a progressive and minimal dj myself its about a minute and a half either side to mix in and out, and i usually play the whole song... that being said my favorite song to play out at the moment is omid 16b-rain, which is 12 minutes and the crowd usually fucking loves the fact it just goes on and on!

Usually I play most of the song in my sets, unless the set requires something different.

omid 16b - 'Rain' which is 12 minutes

12 minutes of bliss - now try Marc Antona's 12 minute opus 'Malaga'
