Yea bro, it's not like i'm expecting too much (am i?) Iv'e seen Cut
Chemist and the Deep Concentration tour and i've seen Dj Food and Scruff
a bunch of times, and they really put their mark on what they're
playing. Odd juxtapositions/overlapping, mixing jungle and hip-hop,
juggling old funk 45s back and forth, scratching, and who knows what
else. When Strictly Kev was at the Wetlands i remember seeing him with
records everywhere, sweating, scrambling for a track he had to find in
time. My point is when i hear someone like Shadow or Cam or whatever
(any DJ known to be all about experimenting), just play a set of hip
hop, using the same scratch at the end of each song to bring in the
next, it just gets me thinking they must be fucking lazy that night. I
understand it can also be a mood of the moment thing, but i am usually
there the whole night at these things.... anyway that's 2¢.
