I honestly don't see the problem with playing tracks off compilation
records....I mean, if the DJ is playing good music, why does it
matter where it comes from? I don't believe that just because you're
the first person on your block to own the latest white label remix
means that you're any better than someone who prefers another medium.

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
