This weekend we had a dicussing about drum n bas sets by djs like jiuce blenders , crossfire , goodfella ,...
There where a lot people that said that djs make a dj set and then spin it for a month and then work at a new one .
Is this true or not ?

Well i can t say for the other peeps mentioned (but i seriously doubt it be the case, i know them pretty well) but my fellow-mystics the juice blenders don't do that stuff. Shure some tunes might return in a set....but 'chewing' it all before a performance is very, very, lame imo...always hear that stuff coming from a mile away.
Don't get me wrong: i don't mind i few 'prepared' combo's... but (IMO!) a set is mainly about reading the crowd and feel what needs to be played at that point (how you gonna do that when you prepared yr set up front?).
You would be suprised how many 'big time playaz' do this..... im not there biggest fan.....

Maybe some do, but a lot don't as far as I know. Offcourse a lot of plates are in every set, but that doesn't make it the same set, no?

I usually make sets in advance (call it my 'base-set') ...
I especially use them when I do my first 2-3 mixes (good for the confidence, cause they never go wrong) but after a while I just play what I feel like or what make the peepz dance harder... most of my mixes are mixes I get out of sets I made before...
...ofcourse my base-set changes every once in a while...(will be about every month indeed)

a dj has some combo that she/he finds out at home. but normally they just play what the crowd likes. they watch on wich kind of tunes they go wild, and will come with tunes thats quit the same style.
a good dj can feel the crowd well.

the trick is to make the crowd feel you and not the other way around imo... 
I always do a lot op preparation (combo's) at home, but I never play the same set more then once, that would be kinda lame héhé

agree.
also it always helps me when I start dancing -> you're showing the vibe + you get more into the rhytm

Never ever prepared a set... Just bring the rekkids u wanna spin and see what the moment brings... sometimes playing some previous played combo´s tho... but not to much...
Its mostly all bout improvisation when on the stage

I think some DJ's do this w/o realizing this (or realizing this too late 
). A friend of mine was also DJ'ing back in '95, and he didn't realize that at a certain point he almost always played 2 the same records after each-other (in whichever order). You could be pritty sure that when you heard one of them, the other would follow (if he hadn't played it just before that is
).
I made a remark about this and only then he realized this
He was like 'damn yeah - you're right'. No-one else noticed (except maybe one guy, but he never said anything about it) cause I was one of the few guys that heard him that much (he lived 100m from my place
) One of the causes of this was that they always ended up very close to each-other in his record-bag he took everywhere. He always ordened his record-collection very carefully, and whenever he had to play, he picked his records sequentially, which ended up in a sometimes very (unintentional) simular sets, offcourse new records were added every week, so it wasn't that striking. When I made this remark I also told him why I thought this happened, and since then he changed his record-picking in his collection to be a bit more random

But not hapening with me... I am very positive on that
Only with a few rekkids its the case (read 4 or 5) those I call combo´s ... but not always playing them ... Change is nesesary

i always find that sometimes playing straight out of your record bag can be fun. But it usually turns out that i will play some proven mixes that i have put together before hand. I also find that playing some songs that noone has heard before can work too. It will get the people's attention.
