A ton of those DJ's can play the tracks out too...you know they don't just cut it up and that is what I like. DJ T-1000 is another, and it is unfortunate that he doesn't get booked in his home town more...

I'd love to see more DJs be able to do what Claude, Shake, Mills, and similar styled artists do If a techno DJ shouldn't scratch, cut, use their nose, elbow, etc. then what about people like DJ Craze? Are they not supposed to play house, drum & bass, and techno mixed in with their hip-hop? some of them drum looped techno tracks only have one good part - I don't want to hear the entire thing played out and mixed seamlessly into the next drum loop. That bores me to tears. It takes all kinds of DJs to make a party: The David Mancuso's who don't want to overlap a single tune; those who blend, mix, and select well but would sooner scratch their @ss then try and scratch a record; and those that barely let a second go by without some kind of manipulation of the record/mixer/turntable. As long as they do it with conviction then I'm all for it. MEK
