He calls his syle "Illibent" and was described as "John
Coltrane of the turntables" by one (highbrow) critic ,
pick of his cd's is the "Songs of a Dead Dreamer" , which is
all programmed and played by Spooky, yet is structured like
a DJ set.
Moves in sections from beatless sound collages to funky hip
hop breaks to expansive dub - like sounscapes , even includes
a drum'n'bass track , all the sounds are very subtle
intelligently constructed - even though the booklet is a tad
pretentious!
I have heard his spinning is all flash and no substance with
sloppy scratching and sub standard drum'n'bass - but will reserve
judgement until have seen myself , but I would suggest you check it
out for a look at an artist who is definatly making a difference.
