    A pub dj in Tipperary playing showband cds is more original than most techno club djs.

    I find a lot of laptop/digital DJing is much more 'drop' based. Very seldom do you hear actual blending of two tracks together. You might hear the odd 8 bar intro overtop of an 8 bar breakdown but very seldom will you hear any kind of extended mix over.

    I don't think you can fully fault the newer DJs either. Most new tracks are written with this form of mixing in mind. It's the equivalent of 12"s from the 90s having extended intros of mostly just drums for 16 or 32 bars at the start to make it easier to slow fade a mix in.

    I on DJ vinyl out but I go over to a buddies place now and then and we bang about on his controller. The whole feel doesn't really lend itself to long mixes as much as quick drops.
