One of the best DJs I've ever seen is Jah Shaka,and he plays with one deck. That tells you all you need to know about my attitude. I am a huge fan of turntablism etc but really it's all about your records: Tony Vegas used to moan massively to me about the hordes of Japanese scratch-nerds who would just stand there gawping at him rather than getting into the music. It's not a fucking spectator sport.

Indeed.All about the records.
Though there is something about hearing one record coming in over the current one, bass knocked off then BOOM basslines swap, faders are flicked, gains tweaked and a bassline drops.
Nothing quite like it, and no other performance medium offers anything remotely similar.
We should DJ together sometime. Here or London.
