Noise is random. Music is a (semi)ordered collection of sound.
All this 'deconstruction' business sounds like an excuse for not being able
to (or not bothering to learn) to mix. Beats don't necessarily have to be
matched perfectly but if I'd payed for a DJ that's what I'd want to hear. I
suppose if you're aware of Spooky's style then you'd know what to expect.
Personally I think I'll steer clear of him.

I'd have thought that anybody could do this (as long as they could afford
the hardware). It doesn't sound like anything I'd want to listen to. Sounds
more like a visual thing than an aural thing, which is fair enough, I suppose.
