Hey all. Jeff Samuel wanted me to forward his response to the reviewer of his SF performance since he isn't subscribed to the list. Here you have it.

While I don't have a problem with someone finding my set boring, I do feel the need to address the 'lazy DJ' issue. When I approached the decks the master fader on the mixer was all the way up with the level completely red, the channel levels equally hot, and the Mackie monitor to my right blown out. This left me with the tiny monitor to my left that was already clipping. Given the fact that this was an art gallery with no 'sound guy', I couldn't really have turned the levels down and turned the house sound up. So, I had to wing it. I was often spending too much time trying to hear myself to appear 'less lazy'. It is true that one track did run out in the process though the next beatmatched record was brought in before the next measure had even run out. But hey, you can't win em all. The truth is that I don't tour Europe and play like that, because these conditions do not present themselves in Europe. In any case, I thank you for coming and dancing (footloose indeed!). There's a partial mix up on my site that is more typical of what I like to do with a couple of turntables. All the best, Jeff SamUEL http://jeffsamuel.com
