Huh, I've never noticed a problem in the mixing on the Stacey Pullen
CD. Maybe we're getting into a subjective debate.
I've heard Stacey do sets ranging from adequate to among the best
I've ever heard - he overshadowed Derrick May when they played here a
few years back.
Carl's moved the focus to live performances, and doesn't DJ nearly so
much nowadays.
Juan's primarily a producer, but he tends to have amazing
programming/track selection skill.
When it gets down to it, I'd rather listen to a DJ who fumbles a beat
from time to time yet plays amazing tracks that a smooth/tricky as
fuck technician playing homogenous tracks.
