found a respectable *zine* at my local deeppocket dj shop
*TRIP* out of Florida . . .the QUOTH single cover caught my eye,
some solid reviews and an excellent interview with the man (rdj)
parts of which i feel are pertinent to the discussion earlier this
week about deejaying for the club cattle (mooooo!;)

TRIP: IF YOU WERE GOING TO PLAY ME A TRACK YOU DID, SAY, YESTERDAY
WHAT WOULD IT SOUND LIKE?
afx: I know the tracks I did yesterday and they weren't in 4/4 time,
I did one track which had like 9 syncopated rhythms on top of
eachother-it was pretty complex. If it was on record, I just
know DJ's would never play it. Most people have closed minds
and I'm willing to experiment. I lost a DJ'ing job like eight
times when I was first starting out because I used to get it
for playing all the music that I wanted to play.
