LOL. I used to know Carl when he lived with Maxine and sold rave tickets out of his place in Brighton. He was the same then. He'd take bookings for techno nights, raves, house nights, garage nights, jungle nights, death metal nights (well maybe not). Not that I especially have a problem with this, but its just that because he tried to span every genre he never got too deep into any one of them and so all his sets seem to represent the blandest of whatever particular genre hes playing.
