cmon if hes soo good and plays out everywher ther must be at least one mix you lot know off...otherwise why the fuk are you going on about him if you cant even name one "off the wall mixing set"......big name perhaps.

and i agree bout mills too.......no way id pay to see the slop he dishes out....never mind big him up.

production wise hes good aswell...this seems to be the case wi techno....produce some good tunes and get hailed as a superstar dj.....shows you how much uneducated fukwits are in techno nowadays....its about time somebody schooled the lot of them....im sick hearing bad djs living of of name/hype...so sad.
sorry got to wholeheartedly disagree. You're are right some people live off a big name and are gash dj's but I think to dispute Hawtin's technical ability on decks or prodcuing is not fair or accurate?? Maybe try radio 1 archive Hawtin at Medicine bar or something, that's a good live mix??
I agree that many bedroom dj's and unkowns I've heard can put together as good a mix as the 'pros'.....but I think it's harsh to dismiss Hawtin as living off name with all the qaulity he's produced over the years...and I've personally witnessed him live as Plastikman and as a dj real quality both times imo, plus his cds etc.... l as mentioned before liking it is nother issue but to dismiss him as shit and a blagger just aint right

no disrespect mate, entiltled to your view but I gotta disagree ;)
