vicman Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 what about DT's 24 hour closing party set....he was everywhere from The rolling stones to Diana Ross, tribal, classics, house, reggae, etc....and it was awesome....oh, yeah, i forgot about DT. i think i just stayed for about 9 hours for the Arc closing party. somehow i managed to stay for the 12 at the first DT/DH party - goddam 24 hrs would be insane for me, i would have to stock up and be a pharmacist to last that long.

WarpdriveNYC Posted August 24 Author Report Share Posted August 24 The Dj should keep spinning until I run out of pills and my roll wears off. That's it. He should find me when I get there and find out how many I will be taking that night. Anything less is totally unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasix Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 8 hours for any one dj for me. any more than that and a dj is just playing a whole lotta filler tracks to make up the extra hours. agreed.I still find it hard to believe the fascination with sets longer than this. How can you say that sets less than 8 hrs are "not complete"? Of course these guys are using filler tracks and stretching everything out to the max. I'd much rather hear some 3-hour sets from 3 dj's over the course of a night. It's a much more diverse night that way. Plus I get to hear 3 great djs instead of just 1! I did go to Howells at Arc once for about 8 hours.. it was cool to hear him play a few different styles, but it still felt very dragged out.

zeeker Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 my favorite nights out have been the 6+ hour PVD nights. I like to be there when he plays his first record and his last, and see how he gets from point A to point B. I hate walking into a night right in the middle of a set and then being too burned out to stay for the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backupqueen Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 I have a feeling the people who prefer a shorter set are more of a '12-6am' crowd than an afterhours one? I don't think the Arc closing was 'filled' with anything for example. Some dj have tons of good records and they can't even fit all of them in a 12hours set!

camafuzz Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 i could go 8 hours easy.. it's gotta be a special event for me to wanna do 12hr +... if DT ever decided to do another 24hr set.. i think i'd stay for the whole thing.. i'd also hang tough for morillo too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clubber5524 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Those college statistics are crap. When they give out surveys, even though its anonymous, people taking drugs and who are drinking underage still dont want to incriminate themselves. I took a Criminology class once and my professor was a NYC cop and even he said those statisitcs are off. As far as marathon sets...if anyone can go for more than 8 hours straight they are either a cross country runner or under the influence for something. The length all depends on the dj and the venue too, but in my opinion 8 hours is perfect. Yes it is a shame the drugs and edm have such a strong connection, but you cant deny the connection. Alot of dj's and the majority of club goers taking SOMETHING when they go out even if its just redbull. EDM definitely could thrive without drugs but seems like alot of producers and dj's use them for influence, but isnt rock & roll influenced by drugs just as much if not more.....?
