TP spins like Detroit DJ's of years ago. If you really take a listen to them, old-school guys like Kim James, Gary Chandler, Fingers, TP, Jeff Mills (when he was on the radio as "The Wizard") all have a similar style of DJ'ing. If my memory serves me right, Even Hawtin had the same style when he did some radio stuff on either 97.9 or 96.3 back inna day.

Shake just plays records, but no one knows better than Shake which record comes next. Both guys are amazing in the honesty, musicality, and soul.
