Anything like Otomo Yoshihide, _The Night Before the Death of the Sampling
Virus_ (on Extreme)? Japanese newscasts, various soundbites, boiled LPs
skipping and bouncing the needle all over the place... You are also
encouraged to use and abuse the disc any way you like. I would wind some
sewing thread around the disc, and adjust as necessary until it would
skip, stick and jump the right amount.
I don't know much about DJ Spooky, but it occurs to me his intentions may
(MAY) be along these lines. Or if not his intentions, the end result.
Likely not that far off in left field, though, if DJ Spooky is considered
part of the dance scene.

"Computers are bringing about a situation that's like the invention of
harmony. Subroutines are like chords: No one would think of keeping a
chord to himself. You'd give it to anybody who wanted it, you'd welcome
alterations of it. Subroutines are altered by a single punch. We're
getting music made by man himself, not just one man." -- John Cage
