Hernan stopped in Indianapolis, Indiana for a quick set with Paul Oakenfold this year. Which I thought was great due to we are a small dot on the map as far as electronic music goes. HE ROCKED A GREAT SET!!!
I notcie when someone starts a thread like this, all of a sudden, there are a ton of people that you don't usually see posting here that come out of the woodwork.
Frankly I think he's a boring dj. I think a lot of prog dj's have become lazy in the recent times. Mostly to do with their mixing. I listen to Hernan and Martin Garcia and Tim Skinners sets and they never seem to mix any more than the last 30 or so seconds of a song. Never truly blending them together. When I play out I always blend the last 1:30 to 2:00 of a song. To truly make the songs seem to blend into one another. I don't hear that too often today.

If you think his style and sound is boring than that's fine, but to say that HC doesn't blend in tracks 'properly' is laughable imo.
You may be able to 'Truly' blend songs into one another, but are you able to take listeners/clubbers on a consistant emotional, musical, roller coaster ride for 4 hours+, week in week out all over the world?
Exeptional mixing is important but still, only part of being a great DJ.
Nick Warren is a perfect example, most say he's not a great mixer. But what ever he lacks in the mixing department is easily made up in his ability to seriously rock dance floors everywhere he goes. His trackselection is amazing.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
