rubbish :-)

i can tell the difference between Seb Fontaine, Sasha, John Digweed and
Steve Lawler within the frst few seconds of a track generally.

Have a listen to Northerrn Exposure (Sasha and Digweed) for the
difference in style.
Def check out Steve Lawlers Dark Drums and Dark Drums 2. All DJ's but
very different styles. They make different choices.
Essentially it is 'instrument bigotry' at work...

BT is fab, but why dont we get over the idea that DJ's are not
musicians. Just because it isnt your instruments doesnt mean it isnt
valid.
It is nothing but the continuence of the shit I had at Uni where
classical guitarists/musicians were unwilling to give validity to
rock/modern jazz musos, or jazz musos hating metal, or grunge hating
hiphop.

It is funny, i bet everyone here things they have a fairly open mind,
and catholic taste compared to joe public and yet the bullshit sectarian
attitude still lives on.
