I've only ever come across Spooky once, he collaborates with Metallica for a track on the Soundtrack from the movie Spawn. Its quite good actually, a Drum n Bass sort of Remix of For Whom the Bell Tolls. But to be fair, its not exactly a work of genius, simply For Whom the Bell Tolls with new beats. I've never really heard of him other than this, I guess his questionable mixing hasn't brought him to the UK yet. Dave Clarke on the other hand, the man totally rocks, one of the best DJ's around. He plays around here all the time, and I've been lucky enough to hear many an excellent techno set from him, he's redefined how it should be done on a number of occasions. I just need to catch one of his electro sets now. Heres a question totally unrelated to DJ Spooky - I was listening to a DJ Funk mix and I am desperate to find out what one of the tunes was. It starts out with this total electro sort of riff going on (which carries on through the tune), with a guy talking over top, he's talking about smoking to much weed, the words are something like this - I smoke to much weed I smoke blunts all day long, I sold my kids and wife, my VCR is gone, I took it to the pawn shop, my momma doesent understand, I need to smoke more herb, but if I dont stop, I'll be smoking it on the curb. Some claps and hats come in somewhere in there, and then a very techno 4/4 comes in with a sort of bouncy sounding kick drum, at this point the vocal bit starts repeating, the guys just saying "I need weed in my life" over and over again. The kick gets bouncier still, and then the mix just abruptly cuts off. The track just about made me piss my pants with laughter, and I am wondering if anyone knows who it is/the name of it so I can hopefully get a full copy of it. I was thinking maybe it could be Green Velvet, mainly because the way the guy speaks reminds me of other Green Velvet tracks, but I dont really know much about Green Velvet, so I am unsure. Aaron
