Thought this was worthy of a bump, as it was posted at Christmas, and I think most of you will have missed it...

It's great. Brilliant hearing a "live" mix after so much living room bizness (much as I like that as well).

The Gangsters Anthem section is fantastic.

Yeah - the crowd noise and stuff adds a nice buzz to it.. pity i cant bring a desk out every time I play out.

A tip for any DJs doing live recordings without the use of a mic - when your set is finished, leave the needles on both records and turn the gain and faders up all the way for both. Youll find when you listen to the recording that the turntables will have picked up any applause and cheers that you may have recieved...

I can't see that going down very well with the next guy on, but OK.

Surely a man as esteemed as yourself wouldnt even glance at a gig unless you were playing last?

Naaaaaaaah! Doing reggae I always end up in the warm up slot. Plus I'm not that pushy at tarting myself about.

Mind you it does mean I can do my set and then get absolutely wankered without having to worry about anything except remembering my bag at the end of the night.
