my impression of him behind the decks is that it depends greatly on his
mood
he can be (apparently) intentionally obtuse, then really good
but the characterization of him as someone who generally just plays
records is not unfounded
and on the right night, that doesn't matter.. it's still fun.
or maybe that's all changed since i haven't seen him in a few years
if he's asking for 3 decks and 2 cd players either he's beginning to
take this djing thing seriously or he's pulling your leg

I think my problem is that isn't always the case anymore. When I saw
him in Brighton in Nov/Dec the first half of his set was fairly bland,
despite following a Harvey-esque DJ. Like I said, he made up for it,
but maybe a little too little a little too late. That said, reports of
his set in Kings Cross last year were nothing short of stunning.

Like all the best DJs in Detroit, Carl can play anything and
basically will, even sometimes pushing well past where the
crowd will go. I'm not always thrilled with his playing but
it's always interesting.
