don't count your svens before they've spun.. having heard sven vath dj live i can verify he doesn't beatmatch (or at least almost never), but i can also say he spun one of the most spellbinding, glorious, beautiful sets i have ever laid ears upon.. and i've heard some pretty decent djs in my day (garnier, sasha, kimball collins).. all i can say is i'd personally take a nonbeatmatching sven over just about any other dj in the world with a few exceptions.. he went from 7am to 1pm on a sunday morning and everyone i know that was there has said the same thing: it is something i will never forget as long as i live..
