I did a multimedia thing a few years ago with Carl Craig (called Header), he DJed at the launch party. I remember him saying at the time that the only reason he DJed at all was because people kept asking him to. Even he didn't think he was that good. He wasn't all bad though. His wife, Hannah, though - she rocks!
