I bet it's a pretty thin line you straddle between being annoying and
bringing up the vibe in that context. Seems like it could go either way at
any given moment. Some people were really digging the unconventional MC
thing at the show i went to. I could have done without it.

He was dropping hip hop samples (accapella vocals) in between breakdowns of
some batacuda track!! Pretty damn sick and suprised me a bit due to the fact
he hadn't really been mixing it up a whole lot till that point. Anyway, i
agree and find something fairly refreshing about the way gilles stitches
tracks together, sans beatmatching. God, if this guy were to learn how to
beatmatch and had the ability to choose whether or not to be seamless, he'd
be unstoppable!
