I don't think anyone was trying to call Ben Simms 'innovative', he's
supposedly a great DJ, and produces some nice tracks (nothing special, but
they get your ass shake'n, and that's usually what the DJ is supposed to
do). Sometimes I think people listen too hard at the music, listen with
your ears and ass, not your intellectualism - leave that for home listening.
Just me 2 cents.....

- music is subjective, don't make it a science. For if you do, the science
will turn what we love into some specific mold, and that's exactly what
'they' want.

hopefully he deejay's better than produces; i mean mixing up old '88
houseloops with bassline samples and hooks from few year old housetunes
and mixing them up with slammin bassdrum can't be described
"innovative". at least i don't think so. sampling is good, but sampling
stuff too obvious is quite annoying.
