I saw him spin here in Cardiff last year, and he was pretty awesome
technically. He played quite a few Portishead tracks, but played around
by using two copies, looping the intros, delaying one copy by 1/2 a
beat, spinning one backwards exactly in time with the other etc. Lots of
scratching, lots of hip-hop, trip-hop, jazz and stuff. I've never seen a
better technical DJ, although Jeff Mills comes close...
see ya
