We did this when we played at a couple of raves...it sort of worked, but we only had 2 weeks to prepare, so it was a bit rushed. We had lots of "songs" on a seqeuncer. These songs consisted of lots of little loops of various bits and styles that could be punched in and out of the mix as we played. on top of this we had several synths we could dub over the top, a few drum loops on machines, with some old hardware sequencers sync'ed up. The DJ would mix records in every now and then (did a terrific job too - nice one wiz!), he then play a couple of tracks. When we were setup for the next set of "loops" he mixed us back in. It's hard work, and you really have to practice to make it worthwhile. Be prepared to make some new loops on the spot! Cheers t' everyone, Mark
