"OK at best"?
Stick to bland, predictable and tiresome Soulwax pop bootlegs then.

Hawtin was a hero, and his crowd control was exceptional.
He once said that he didn't see the point in downloading livesets - the whole point was about connecting with the crowd then and there. Plus he must of played around a third of his set with the bass cut, just so that it had a formidable impact when he whacked it back on full. You can't really pick that up with a download. Unless you have a 100k rig in your living room and the bass makes your bones shake. That said I'll look forward to hearing that set again...

Whilst he is essentially just playing other peoples records he goes so much further than anyone else in pushing the potential of djing that he remains in a league of his own.

Can't quite state how good it was being outdoors as the sun came up.
Wah. Mathew Jonson - Marionette still playing in my brain weeks later....
