RE: electronica double standard?



Brilliant point about how DJs are bound by different rules and formats
technique and style are very important

There was a fellow, Crowley, who took all belief systems, sought the truth,

religious and mystical techniques

My Point as vague as it may seem it why not UNIFY the field of DJing
