get a clue. the DJs mentioned lately (DJ Cam, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow...) are
all producers, and the fact that they use bits instead of strings doesn't
make them any less "musician" as you seem to think. They write music, they
use existing sounds but the music they write, even if it's just a re-mix, is
their OWN creation. But thank you anyway for showing the world that *YOU*
finally found a definition to the term "acid-jazz", thing that none of them
on this list have managed to do in the last couple of years. Too bad you
express it so rudely.
"you're not writing you're stealing": huh huh, only this shows that you
probably never even cared to listen to some of those artists' work, because
one thing you can't deny them is creativity (writing).
