The first half of his "Open" mix Cd in 1998 (?) under the Ministry of Sound Label is sublime, but it soon descends into drudgery IMHO. Although it's a Mix Cd (nicely cleaned up and all that) it does give some indication of his DJing style.
I'll be looking forward to Easter Sunday though, he's never disappointed when I've seen him and will play off the wall tracks that you might not hear at Lost otherwise. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Brunton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Odeluga, Ken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 3:12 PM Subject: Re: [313] may's djing (was Lost - further details) > > Strange as it may seem, the numbers of people who can actually remember him > > playing his own classic stuff - like Icon, are few and far between ... > > although Strings of Life, I've heard even Surgeon play!
