Dave seems to have been going off lately and seems to have the pioneer
mixer totally down, he played at pure heree in edinburgh on friday night
and blew my mind again. He came on w/ fix-flash and totally ripped it up
with FX and scratching, he really seems to be pushing it forward w/ the
heavy effects laden style (i don't know about anyone else but i was
really disapointed by the ithcy hawtin DE9 mix, as it seemed lacking in
the FX/909 dept., maybe the title 'decks' just wasn't catchy enough?) has
anyone else caught dave recently? or is anyone else (ab)using the pioneer
with interesting results? (i would really like to see what mills could do 
with that bad boy)
