What do you mean by this? IMO both Off Limits compilations are not strictly
intended for the dancefloor, but also for the
chilling-at-the-living-room-after-work activity. Anyway, this series focus
on the leftside of the spectrum and I can tell you that there _are_ crowds
who are moved by this kind of stuff (me included). Just check clubs like
WMF, Bogaloo, Co-Op or Plastic People (where people like Jazzanova, Rainer
Truby, Gilles Peterson, Ross Allen, etc., spin frequently). Also, those
'european DJs' you refer to, tend to be more eclectic with their choices,
caring less about the techniques than the 'US DJs' and keeping the vibe by
making the right choice at the right time.
