Hey, I never said he was a good DJ! It was the track that did the serious damage - As a producer, like many of the time, it wouldn't surprise me that he couldn't DJ.

Never heard a good thing said about him, even by some who did his events on the regular apparently.

I don't know if these count as superstars, by modern standards, but I worked with pretty much every London garage 90's DJ, whilst cutting my teeth in the mid to late 90's
So, Danni Rampling, EZ, Dream team (but only as individuals, not all three at the same time), MasterStepz, Shorty Blitz, Peazey of Peazey and Blocko fame (Kiss100 Saturday early evening slot), Tall Paul, and Matt Darey was a hire customer! Seemed to end up doing sound and bumping into them enough, at similar events, that most recognised me. Me and MasterStepz even went "on battle", as Luck and Neat no showed, and he filled their hour, with me dropping in a few tunes (On a single Gemini CD110 player used for soundcheck!!) whilst he rummaged around through his "Second Box"! Of these, they were all really cool and friendly, perhaps it was the age of the genre, less commercial, and more about the music, as much getting paid. However, the only attitude was from Mike Ruffcut Lloyd, at one event, where the other (amateur) DJs were the promoters (student mates) and the VIP area abutted onto the DJ area. He wanted no one around him (Fair Enough it was a bit buzzing and bumpy). He suffered my presence, as my desk was nearby, but I knew to leave him alone. TBH, I could see his POV, and he did the most amazing mix I have ever heard - you knew you're dancing at >135 BPM, then you knew you were dancing at <125BPM, with a key change, but you couldn't spot the time at which the speed actually changed - no break in beat - I have never worked it out, how he did it. OF these, EZ and Shorty Blitz seemed the most fun, and certainly consistently chatted to me. They seemed to enjoy there work, and try and keep it as social as possible, which made it good fun. However the only DJ I have ever worked with who gave me perfect 0dB for his entire set was Danni Rampling. Kind of puts him on a bit of a pedestal. And he was mixing on a DJM!!! Perhaps as the money has poured in, it has had a "Footballer" effect on the talent?

EZ was a pleasure to work with. I even built him a platform to stand on that he would use every week, so he was at normal height.

No. What I mean is that im not into this worshipping of humans who press play. I like music thou and theres a lot of really good and talented djs out there who can mix two records together. But it immediately makes feel like vomiting if one behaves like a "superstar dj".Too tight tshirt headphones on the other ear 24/7,fingers in the air and nose drippin,you know the deal |

Well you should probably do some research on who he is before throwing those labels around, else it may be yourself that appears to be the ignorant party. Personally I have never heard him play, but he is famous for some older house productions.

Yes. I know I sounded like the cokehead.
If he cheats people than I got no love no matter how many hits he have done in 1989. |

Given the sums of money being thrown at the current crop of talentless EDM DJ/Producers (and Paris Hilton) I expect he's a bit butt-hurt that he can't command the same fees (despite being more a legend in lots of peoples eyes).
French Kiss is in my top ten favourite all time tunes and I'm not at all a house head really. But the groove resonated with me at a time when i was into very heavy metal/alternative and hadn't yet 'discovered' dance music, so it says a lot. Regardless of who is to blame, the agent/artist/promoter relationship is a tough one, and that webpage is a good example of how difficult it is, but clearly shouldn't be! |

French kiss at the time, was at the very top of the pyramid when it came to rave music. Unfortunately it was too overplayed and I began to hate it.
Glastonbury 1989 it was played everywhere on site. In the end I avoided any tent/stage that was playing it.
