    why does gilles have an mc? hopefully someone can clue me into the point.
    i heard gilles in l.a. and i thought what's up w/that mc? i've owned some
    galliano stuff in the past and dug it (so it's not that i don't like rob),
    but he needed to get off the mic--he was talking over vocals!!

    gilles is a dj in all senses of the word, folks. He's starting to
    beatmix--and sounds like it (but who didn't when s/he started)--and frankly
    his non-mixed transitions are still the biz!! he was actually doing some
    cuts (drop-ins--he's not quite scratching yet), and some other tricks to
    mold the tunes to his ends--i could tell, cuz i *own* some of the records he
    played.
