hmm...new topic: experimental djing. invisibl skratch picklz vs the likes of rdj and alec empire. would you rather hear a ltj bukem seamless (imho, bland) mix or somebody who's got the cojones to spin one of those fucked-up boyd rice/non locked-groove triple center-hole punched varispeeded 12"s? my thoughts: depends on location. in a club, i prefer to beatmatched, moodmatched mixes. but if it's djing to listen to (like i've done), it's good at home. then again, maybe i'm just biased. :) * * + * * \|/ * *----]euroboy[----]micah.stupak[----]mjsst87+@pitt.edu[------e-+ * >>bitwise.operators /|\ * * * + ideology is theft.
