With all this talk recently of Jazzanova, Gilles Peterson and Kruder &
Dorfmeister deejaying I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Raw Deal
spinning at The Talkin' Loud 10th Year Anniversary Party in Miami. I never
knew the guy from Raw Deal could deejay, but he tore shit up, out
Jazzanova-ing Jazzanova with a mix of deep house, Brazilian dance cuts and
original disco cuts (including a bunch on 7"!!). Not only was he playing
great tracks he was mixing his ass off too. This guy can really mix. I was
constantly going up to him asking "what was that? what was that?" all night
long. One of my fave tracks that night was his mix of a new LTJ Bukem track,
but he tells me it's never coming out--arrghh! Anyway I just wanted to let
everyone know that Raw Deal can deejay and he doesn't play much that sounds
like his records...

I saw K&D last year in Ghent outside Brussels they played after DJ Morpheus
and Jazzanova and they were the bad-ass motherfuckers everyone who sees them
realises they are. In person they are very pleasant and unassuming music
freaks like probably most of us aj-ers probably are. Morpheus was great as
well and Jazzanova were also a real blast, to see any of these people on any
given evening would be good but to see them all on one night was a total
trip, ahem, blast, ahem ahem, well, y'all probably get the dirft of the
night. Les Rhythmes Digitales were live in the room next door and Ed Rush
and Optical were in yet another room down the hall. A highly memorable
night, even if my memory cells were slightly on the blink or was it the
blonk, or the blank?????
