Well I too have seen JA numerous times, and I still think he smokes. Being
a fairly new New Yorker from Detroit, I am looking forward to hearing him.
It's not so much his technique (sure there are plenty of DJ's who are
better), it's more his tracks selection and his consistent ability to take
you on a deep deep ride through the history of Detroit Techno.
