    As a fellow Texan (a transplanted one), I notice a relatively unknown to
    the list posting a question. So I ask is it really necessary to go off like
    you did?! "Two-step" to me distinguishes another style of house music (and
    it is very distinguishable) and though I'm not a proponent of commercial
    categorization, in the context of his question, there was a distinction of
    styles denoted. Why not answer the question if you've been privy to a
    Gilles show, instead of all the profanity and other useless banter that
    seems to me a bit of a personal concern, more than something of a
    discussion.

    I don't think of Gilles as a dj, but more of a selector. His range is
    incredible and I think that through his mission we are all more educated
    about a lost chapter of music history that fell between jazz, fusion, soul &
    funk and had the ingredients of all, but somehow was lost and through his
    efforts in the last decade and a half, has been re-discovered.

    my 2cents

    PEACE!
