Huh, I've never noticed a problem in the mixing on the Stacey Pullen 
CD. Maybe we're getting into a subjective debate.

I've heard Stacey do sets ranging from adequate to among the best 
I've ever heard - he overshadowed Derrick May when they played here a 
few years back.

Carl's moved the focus to live performances, and doesn't DJ nearly so 
much nowadays.

Juan's primarily a producer, but he tends to have amazing 
programming/track selection skill.

When it gets down to it, I'd rather listen to a DJ who fumbles a beat 
from time to time yet plays amazing tracks that a smooth/tricky as 
fuck technician playing homogenous tracks.
