Hence, Tour De France. I remember reading in an magazine interview with one of the guys from Kraftwerk a few years ago where he said that he arrived in a club somewhere in america (can't remember where) and they were playing his track, "metal on metal" (i think it was that track, my memories a bit vague here) but it was only a short 3 or 4 minute track and after a while he realised it'd been going on for about 12 minutes now...which is when he found out about DJs doing beat matching with two copies of the same record, and repeating bits over and over again. That may have been when they found out about the whole scene that'd sprung from their music. -- Ben Coffer Hybrid Productions http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
