Well you can assume that with a club like Fuse you have a large enthusiastic
younger crowed that is up for that type of pounding techno set.
He had a mix CD out I think it was last year which was actaually quite good

I thought Jeff Mills mixing was rather good considering it was a *LIVE*
radio mix on 3 decks.
I also like the raw aprouch, maybe you need to play it loud instead of
listening to it on PC monitor speakers.
