they will be...IF....
You dont make a 2 minute ambient intro
give us a hi hat, a bass bump, give us SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
most dj's are high or drunk (only drink, no longer smoke)
so make sick tunes, and make them easily mixable!!!!!
feeel free to make this STICKY!!!

So, basically you're saying you're wasted and can't mix anymore.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing. Now unless you have some tracks of your own, how about some blessed silence on your part.
Jah bless.

yeah i don't think it's the producer's fault you're too lazy to work out a mix.

I still say people should make 2 versions. 7"-fanny-around-free-as-a-bird-random-drops-beard-fests and an on-the-eights(or whatever)-12"-no-surprises DJ versions.
I do find it rare for a DJ to drop something they ARE unfamiliar with, though.

any genre it comes down to knowing your records inside and out

for real...
yes,
I was drunk when I posted this,
no, wasnt wasted trying to mix drunk.
I make tunes, and I have been djing longer than some of you have been alive.
been making hiphop, and dnb for years, and I am trying to incorporate the same fundamentals of a mixable tune into the dubstep culture.
I truly love this sound, and I am REALLY game for supporting it, and all the artists in it.
the advice was Valid, PERHAPS my delivery was a bit rash and crude...
sorry for that
most dj's are high or something anyway
ezzz heads....
dont wanna piss nobody off now

In principal I agree entirely, but in practise, I sometimes don't even get time to listen to a tune fully before I play it out, I've stood at the turntable with a new tune, spinning it and spinning it, trying to find a reference point to mix it, (while drunk-of course)and in the end thought fuck it, and reached for another tune.
Yes, we don't want to end up making Dubstep by numbers like DNB has become, but if you want your stuff played out, you have got to think of the DJ, they are the people pushing your stuff where it counts don't forget. ON BIG LOUD FUCK OFF SYSTEMS where it should be sounding at its best.
No Dj IMO is interested in bringing in a tune from the start of a massive intro, they want the guts.
Like I said in principal I agree, but i just don't think its practical.
My rant over.
