I played a couple of gigs in NY last year with Keoki. He's a nice enough
guy. Pretty personable. Once he and Julie Jules (editor of that club
kid zine Project X) were so whacked out on whatever that they danced, yes
DANCED, on my records. They had knocked a couple out of my bag and didn't
notice while they continued to shake it on my vinyl. I guess they liked
my groove but that's no excuse to scratch up out of print rarities. He
said that he would give me something in return but I never heard from
him. The real problem with his style is that he'll play anything just to
be a superstar. I tend to like DJ's who want to educate the crowd or who
stick to a distinctive style. Keoki will play all over the place in one
night. Anyway this is starting to sound like an .alt.raves posting so
I'll quit.
