As far as hard techno, I think the few and far between (in the US) who actually play that style reside on the G-tech list. on 4/25/03 11:11 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > This is the best type of mixing by far - not enough younger jocks doing > this (at least not where I live).
