I meant (and I assume he means as well, since there is an entire album of remixed DK songs available) that he doesn't allow himself to use samplers. I avoid them because I know I'd just use them as a short cut and probably make a bunch of shit as a result. I just find it interesting I'm not the only musician to have sampler backlash disorder. Tom
