Further proof that DJs can indeed be virtuosos, what this guy does with software synthesizers and samples defiies explaination. He creates the craziest rhythms imaginable. It seems very chaotic from initual hearing but that's just an illusion, it's so tightly structures and what amazes me about electronica is how limitless and how much complete control the DJ has over everything like it's his own persona orchestra. You never know what kind of sounds will pop up.
Favorite tracks: 4, Cornish Acid, Fingerbib, Corn Mouth, Logan Rock Witch.
One of my favorite all-time albums. Not sure what his occasional DJ performances has to do with his studio work, though. True that he first gained exposure by DJing and including some of his own produced tracks, but he's not a turntablist.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
