I know! I was being playful. Everybody knows Adelaide's got world class talent and I have heard good things of Cycloid. I just find it hard to imagine anything better than Derrick May but of course that *is* highly subjective on my part! I love the wide range of music, the soul and the energy and personality he brings. >respect to the fact that you think he's the *best*, but (in my own opinion, >of course) there are others who rock harder, technically speaking, on the >dj front...just look at dj's like noise & roc raida, now there's some >skills... Did you know that DJ Noize started as a techno DJ before his rise as DMC champ? I learnt this yesterday from one of the bigggest hip-hop DJs here in Melbourne. He's always kept quiet about that! >or back to the tek side...rolando... I'd take a plastikman set >over May any day, and if you want live shit then voiteck would be my >preference if playing at a party at the same time as May. Richie is great but doesn't have the expanse of Derrick. In fact they are equally great, just different. Incomparable maybe. >It's all personal preference, of course, and that's all good, cause the >world would be damn dull if it werent for individuals...but when you've >been seeing the same thing for the last ten years you start to look forward >to something fresh, or at least a different take on something old. See, I don't think Derrick has stayed the same. I have seen him many times and it is never the same. Peace Cyclone
