the hiphop influence might have something to do with it, but im not too sure. the UK has had its share of DMC style deejays that can run things. you might just be overlooking some of the big cheese here in america like Keoki et al who have no styles at all, but still get booked a ton. i think as the US club scene becomes more and more popular, bad trance/prog house deejays will become even bigger than they are now. and we already have sasha and digweed and oakenfold touring here constantly, giving everyone that kind of image to look up to. tom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thomas D.
