Oh dear,
Bit of a storm in a teacup i see.....
Me + Perpetual made our peace quite well... in fact our quarrel ended with me providing him with our address to send demos along with a few other peole who it would be worth sending his trax to.. the whole bollocks argument was my fault really, in the fact that there was no emoticon for sticking your tounge out, and I think a sticking your toung out emoticon should replace the emoticon which I feel is very po faced.. if anything the argument caused us to talk to each other in relation to how we could help each other out, which is quite nice really...

Personally though, I think there's plenty of room for scratching in a techno set, and the whole "You're listening to dj bam bam " thing, that's just bam, He's from america, it's a cultural difference and things are more like that over there, he wouldn't be Bam if it wasn't for that, just the way it is... I kinda like that cultural difference... even if it is a bit cheesy...
at the end of the day Jackstar 001 says it all to me, when paul played me those trax for the first time, it was something else, the energy that had been needed in techno for a long time....
