    I couldn't agree more. Check out the excellent Cosmic Rockers remix on the new Tosca CD. (It doesn't say Cosmic Rockers due to a printing error, but trust me, it's them).

    another crew to check out who does innovative things with DJs & live band
    is Organic Grooves (http://www.codek.com/organic.html).
    They play hypnotic, mind bending grooves that consist of many layers of
    sounds, the base being trip hop/acid jazz/cosmic grooves played by DJ
    Sasha Crnobrnja, laced up with congas, bongos, dub rhythm guitar, moog,
    melodica, and other instruments. Gives them a sound totally
    unique. Spacey, tripped out, global riddims.
