whats your take on the fact that surgeon ventured into synth pop & cheese territory when he played over here last month?[/quote]

I spanked him for that.
Besides, I see him primarily as an artist and not a dj.[/quote]


Tell that to the 400 people who paid 18 euros each in to see him play records . The point is really that I dont mind what he plays but no-one has the right to a particular sound... they can be associated with it, the can be credited as having started the whole movement or whatever but I cant tolerate the sort of crap some of Detroits 'legends' used to come out with like 'those white boys are copying us & destroying the sound'. OK you can lay into them if they blatantly copy/sample a track without giving credit but you dont hear beyer/the hacker moaning about the copycats they spawned. They just get on with it.
