i dont think repetetiveness is the problem in dance music but just a simple lack of openess to new rhythms
i used to be a trance & techno dj during the 1990s and i used to eat and sleep that music during those days
but to be honest (now being 2012) i cannot believe how people do not get bored with the lack of any real changes in the rhythm over a course of literally decades....
i was at a party on saturday where they played trance and techno for a good portion of the night
there was a DJ there messing with the EQs to create buildups in the otherwise fairly eventless tracks.
in my humble opinion, thats not DJing.
staying within one rhythm is easy !!! and now with the "press-of a button" technology, anyone can do it !
the fun is in combining styles and rhythms !!
well thats my own philosophy, not enforcing it on anyone
by all accounts people still enjoy that "same old beat" very much and thats all that counts at a party i guess
