        Well in that case don't you need a 'Post-Vortex' group as well?

            Artist is the way to go
            as for downloads from the P&R section
            I build monthly folders, then have a sub folder
            favorite sets.

            All in all...I think I will be going back there some time soon

            So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

            1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
            2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
            3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
            4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

            Am I close here?

                I've got my ipod as:
                ambient/dub
                downtempo
                minimal/tech-house
                progressive & house
                jazz
                classical

                works for me... needless to say, the minimal/tech-house section is sizable.

                    Don't even know what to put under genre these days. Minimal? Tech House? House? Techno? Ambient? Downtempo? Spacey bleepy shit?! Vortex-inducing?! Mindfuck?!

                    Most of the time I give up and tag them as Electronic ... so all my music's Electronic now, much good that does me when I'm trying to sort them to find something to listen to!

                    I haven't tag a file as Progressive in ages!
                    you fail...

                        Re: Why can't DJs play proper music

                        I was having the exact same problem the other day...for example Umek puts ALL his songs under "techno"???

                        I ended up making up a genre tech-house/progressive/minimal
                        And I was trying to fit my music into genres so that I can mix it more easily...I gave up in the end and just tried to organize it so it kinda feels/sounds nice together...mostly by listening to the type of base used in the song...fuk it there is no point trying to tie to genre as when they make it they don't sit and think ok now I am going to make some tech-house tunes...they just sit down and make whatever comes to mind.


                        P.S. Angry Boy Child...Angry, Boy, Child???
                        Come on? Fair enough... at least I have a personalized license plate so screw u guys...

                            i usually just use the tag that it gave me when I imported it into itunes. then I always just put it under a certain playlist anyway to clear up things.

                                Nah. Sort under Artist and then by date.

                                    make an excel sheet. in there add whatever comments you want. sort them. do whatever you want. im currently working on this. inside of it i'll have when to cut in, cut out, bpm, everything you wanted to know. perhaps even if the guy that produced the track has a dog.

                                                    All that's left after the Vortex is a hole in your mind. Gibbering loss. I used to go home after Digweed gigs and couldn't listen to music for a few days after. Northern Exposure usually brings me back round.
