So Lukey, I take it from these comments that you weren't "qualified" to spin when you kept a laptop and a BPM program by the turntables? You were also quite excited to show me your newly crafted BPM program at one time. What a load of pretentious shit. Some of the best DJs I've seen BPM their stuff. It isn't a crutch it is a tool.
