While everyone here is clever enough not to pointlessly argue why some music is BAD I think its more that a great multitude of people would agree that what's available and what is ultimately being delivered by less discerning DJs seems to fail at both being timeless OR providing a fun 'moment' in an evening out - and that's a tragedy. Bring on the disposable stuff that blows up a dancefloor as much as the next Carl Craig remix that we'll all be enjoying for years on end.

I'm actually really curious about those. Ok, perhaps not as it's not very polite to call a release faceless without providing a deeper analysis. But to be honest, I really would like to know the name of the labels and artists who are releasing those records. Everyone seems to be talking about "the majority of all releases" being crap, but I rarely see anyone giving examples. However, it does perhaps lie in its nature not to know those titles since the records are, well, faceless and you didn't mind to remeber it.
