One thing that really annoys me is when a DJ ends a good happy or freeform set with gabber or gabbery sounding tracks (like on Scott Brown's Bonkers mixes). While there are a few gabber tunes that I like, for the most part I don't like gabber and having it at the end of a set kills the energy for me.
I also can't stand good tracks that are ruined with gabbery breakdowns, like "You Better Run" by Frisky & Hujib, or so many others the Next Generation Collection albums.
There are two things that annoy me in mixes as well. I don't like it when DJs try to squeeze 30 tracks into a mix, so you only get about 1:30 of some tracks (which too often are the ones I really like). I like to hear them, and by the time one track really gets going it's already on its way out. The other thing I don't like is when the last track in the mix fades out, even though there are 8-10 minutes left on the CD and they could've let the last track play out. This is a small detail though and not a huge complaint.
agreed. i would seriously always prefer finishing on some crazy euphoric vocal banger or the like
some people love to go apeshit and lose it to gabber at the very end though i guess :p
I hate it when people keep playin the same stuff for a whole hour.
'Nuff Said!

Overuse of sidechain compression. Dont get me wrong, it definitely has its place & I like the effect. However white noise breakdowns that drag on for around 10secs with the side chain effect is a bit dull after a while.
You had a phase where you used to grow really tired of vocal stuttering too. Is that still a quirk?

Ah yes, that can be annoying. It seems to be the norm now.
I dont want to come across too harsh though. Stuttering vocalists certainly have a place in the scene. Its not their fault they have speech troubles & should be applauded for effort alone :)

Weird length phrases or a chorus that's like a phrase and a half long. The most recent culprit of the latter than I can remember is Dougal & Gammer - Burn. The damn chorus is 24 bars long. That's just stupid at that point. Make it 16 or 32, I don't care, but stop trying to force DJs to play out your entire track because you know what? I know how to use Audacity, and if I want to play your track bad enough, I'll just clip out the stupid section anyways.
A completely separate annoyance I have is that record break sound that a lot of EDM producers put at the end of synths. Even used sparingly, it's tired and played out at this point, and when overused it can completely ruin the track. Just tired of that trend.

Almost every effect overused gives your ears cancer. But the 'spinning down' surely is one of the top runners for cheap producing as some DJs think the flanger is a good effect for usage ... everywhere.

Now that i think about it i think only Americans like Wham Bam. And Triquatra spent long enough in the US to for him to also like it.

For me wham bam is just pure nostalgia! Its utter cheese of the highest order & I hate myself for liking it, I shouldn't like it! But I do! Does that make me a bad person? :(
