        t'was good...and I'm glad to hear that Digweed hasn't ditched the cds and vinyl in favor of ableton for his live gigs.

            Good interview but I am sure he gets tired of answering the same questions over and over again.

                    1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                    2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                    3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                    4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                    Am I close here?

                        interesting article. notice that he never said that mixing isn't important. he actually said that track selection is more important.

                                    but yeah, of course good tracks are what make the DJ, mixing is bonus. hence nick warren being able to walk into any club on the planet, from drum and bass to trance,

                                    OH MY GOD!! I neve thought we could agree on something.... but truee in all levels, nicks habilty to select tracks is outstanding, I don't really care if he is "not that good" at beatmatch the trackselection of this guy is beyond human posibilities.

                                        Cracking interview. I'm not into his style of music anymore but his attitude to DJ'ing is spot on.

                                        And as for answering the same questions over and over, I'm sure it's all part of the job for DJ's like him.

                                            I don't remember him answering any questions about moisturizers / hairstyle / myspace before, so it seems it wasn't such a standard interview...
