I usually don't get into dj wars... (more often than not, its just down to taste...or juvenalia), but if you've ever heard spooky spin, his skills are hard to contest. His musical selection is top notch and he is very active on the decks... (by this I mean his sets are seldom passive.... he's always creating different textures and all his scratches, etc. never come of gimmicky). This is not the sort of thing I usually comment on, but to compare him to Kenny G. is just disrespectful. The few times I've heard him, his sets have always been very engaging and I suggest that perhaps you hear him spin again and reconsider.
