i used to have some old mixtapes of his and that was well before i knew anything about mixing , him and dj dag at some famous club in frankfurt ( forgot the name!)

but i once heard he drank 52 cans of beer in one dj session and anyone who can do that and still walk home after is a legend in my books.

party djs are great i.m.o.
but really dreadful mixes can eventually wind you up. esp. when you've got some guy jumping up and down like it's best thing ever and the mix is just going " clatter clatter clatter"
I think the club will probably be The Omen in Frankfurt. Sven's & Dag's sets in the 90's were legendary, 20 hours being the longest (I think). Sven would start his marathon set with chilled out ambient material then slowly over the night bring the pace up then for the final 10 hours or so, completely hammer it out.
Sven's mixing isn't really clatter clatter, it's just basic, dropping the last 8 bars in generally. Dag's mixing on the other had was clatter clatter.
