i myself found derrick may's set dissappointing. Now i have only seen him 3 times but i have never real been impressed (except for a solar night). Granted he did play excellent tracks, i found his actions to be as a big a diss as the crowds lack of applause. He spent most his set talking to people and high 5-ing people. His set was good but i lacked to dj skills of a so called pioneer. I dont really think a really even mixed many records, lots of cuts and fades, and why dont you listen people before you maybe Rolando, kevin, and derrick were sharing the same records. This by far is not a diss for derrick but a voiced dissapointement again, maybe its just me. I also found the poet at the end excellent and meaning fulling but i found the drum guy to be offbeat and just plain annoying after a while how long can you proceed with the same beat, i think he even had to start the record over again did'nt he.
