Just to say I saw him DJ a 4 hour set last week. He was on this stage with 2 large screens behind him , looked excellent. He played hard house/techno at first and very gradually built it up throwing in a few acidic tunes for good measure.
One surprise was in the middle of the set he put in a few jungle tunes; and good jungle tunes at that. The sort of stuff GroveRider is playing lately with 303's and other analogue noises over hard B.Beats. The crowd liked the sluggish techno too much so these jungle tunes didn't go down too well, but I thought it was cool.
Apart from the Jungle break(no pun intended!) it was like listening to a 4 hour tune, his mixing was first class.
Definetely one to see.

BTW Shot in the dark is very good and contains his famous "Astral Dreams" tune, a hard techno stormer that is guaranteed to get the floor going balistic.
