Shortest livesets???

Pointless thread

Whats the shortest set out there?

I am going to assume you mean recorded sets. The ID-T broadcasted sets of the hardstyle events such as Qlimax are sometimes quite short.. I have a Bas N Ram set which is only around 10 or 15 minutes if I remember correctly.

Most of the Love Parade sets in the past are barely over 15 mins

shortest set i heard was 23 minutes.

i did hear a set that was 5 minutes, but i vaguely remember who spun it.

I would imagine scratch DJ sets would be the shortest, not necessarily because they aren't talented enough to go longer than that (quite the contrary), but because you can really cram a lot of tracks into a short amount of time in a scratch set.

So essentially what I mean is a trance-type DJ will need more time to establish his or her skill as a DJ, since trance-type sets use beatmatching and track selection as the two major skills to showcase (which can take a considerable amount of time for the DJ to truly shine), whereas a scratch DJ can really show his or her skill in just a few minutes, possibly even less if the DJ can replace the records superfast

You're kidding, right? He isn't even a scratch DJ, he just throws scratching into his overall set of skills.

i was reminded of him when scratch and long set were mentioned.
