in fs and ssl the dj has to beatmatch himself. it's only a way of playing with vinyl the tracks you only have in digital format. the dj has to do all the job

you comment it's kinda elitist.
i think you missunderstood the post. from what i understood he's trying to say that he would like to listen to some sets that are recorded originally without taking away or correcting the little errors. For example, when a dj prepares a demo mix, he starts recording it and eventually make a little error, but then since he's at home he stops the recording and the djing, and do that part again without the errors. I don't think he means bad quality mixes, or full of errors, but just a bit more natural. because nowadays all the mixes are there are super tight and well prepared that they are kinda very fake in a way, which can be also very monotonous and make you loose interest in them.

dj sets which are recorded live in club environment can have mistakes too
sometimes even more than home recorded promo mixes
regardless of whether it's a big time dj or a budding bedroom dj

Wow, I still do not get the point.
Thought it was something like:
- analog mix=good because man has to work
- digital mix=bad because computer works

which could be resumed by:
- analog dj=good dj even with mistakes
- "digital" dj= bad because, hell, that's fucking too easy and it's not fair dude and that even with mistakes

... but it's obviously about something else.
It's getting confusing here

It's not about that really. Try to the review the topic again, maybe that helps. I don't have any better words than those above for explaining

Cheers

I think perahps he thought all the mixes in the other section were perfect..

* that is not the case. as stated above may of them have errors.

I can say hands down (every) mix that was my favorite.. has errors.

and no he's not saying 89 trainwreck mixes wanted .. * insert small joke

perhaps since he is (newer) to the site he thought it (had) to be perfect and pehraps was try to introduce or (welcome) something other than that...

your thoughts are always welcome here.

You might be right. But I'm sorry to say that's I still not get the point... And I guess he did talk about analog mix with errors in opposition to digital mix without...
Anyway, I should post one of mine to change his mind, I assure you I can f**k up everything I touch in two seconds with or without beatmatching
