I like his stuff too, he has a sense of fun. That Chems record was probably boring to start with. His Holly Valance remix is great. The album he did before Kittinz was great but London Recs bungled the release in the UK. I believe he's working on a new album and involved in the Duran Duran comeback (I hope they go back to their roots, no bad rock) and the P Diddy house enterprise.
