I czan explain Amon tobin at least: according to Ninj tunes founder he was
a producer first than a dj. His "mistake" was in taking gigs after he got
famous. If you know you only use a turntable as a sample loading device
then dont take the gigs. When i get my 12' out i hope ill be
asked(flattered) but i wont take the gig ! This came out when Colcut
said that Ninja Tune has 2 types of artist. dj who produce ;and producer who
dj. Amon tobin was named as the latter type
