Went to check this out last night, had fun hangin' with Jay, Dylan,
Kevin (and of course Q-Burn) from "the list".
I was VERY impressed with Q-Burn's set, his DJ skills are at least on
par with his (phenomenal) production skills. Iwas especially impressed
by the fact that he cound not only seamlessly mix even on a system set
up for house music, (i.e. Urie mixer, the knob kind, and turntables on
rubberbands, ever try to scratch on those??) but he also had a great
selection of songs. I've found that most DJs are stronger eith at mixing
or song selection, but Q-Burn rocked both aspects!

Well I wouldn't wan't to miss these, too bad there's no way in hell I
could afford that kind of travelling. Prince Paul is the man, and anyone
who's at the conference and misses the Wally/Swingsett/Q-Burn lineup
should kick themselves (hard!) because that sounds like the best lineup
I've heard of in a long time.
