No Breakdowns?
Hi guys,
I have been to quite a lot of gigs in singapore which djs like Tiesto, PVD, Paul Oakenfold spinned, and also listened to alot of other international gigs.
What i find strange is that, there are almost no breakdowns in their mixing. Perhaps maybe 1 out of 20 tracks they play in the night has a breakdown.
Most of the tracks nowadays, perhaps 8 out of 10 or maybe even 9 out of 10 have breakdowns and buildups which are mostly damn irritating. Some are ok, but generally they do suck. They all usually happen in the 4th min mark or so right about the time when i mix in and cut off the outgoing track. This makes the crowd just wait for it to build up then dance again. The meat of the tunes are the best part but they generally come in after the breakdown/buildup. If i were to mix in right at the beginning of the track, quickly kill the outgoing track one minute later, it still does not give that much of an energy as much as after the buildups or climax that tracks nowadays generally have.
I get the feeling that perhaps the versions of the track being played are special edited version. They cut off the breakdowns but keep only the buildups or climax.
Is there some sort of mistake that i am doing or am i right in what i say?
Cheers,
