count me as a fan as well. I really dig his King of the Street 10 inch as well as the destroyer. Not to mention Low on Ice, and Generation Star wars. I was not so impressed with Two Space Cowboys on a bad trip, his collaboration with Ian Pooley probably due to the housey 4 on the floor beat. Mr Empire has some wicked techniques for getting a sound to float out of the speaker and hoover a couple of seconds and then zip back in. Giggles
