[quote=rubyraks]ddr, my pleasure and if you ever get the chance to hear him play, chat the boy up. He's one of the funniest djs on the block :)
I wouldn't go so far as to start slogging on Justin. He's released a number of tracks on Buzzin Fly (and is working on quite a few more with Ben right now), they've played together many many times and truthfully that's how every warmup I've seen for Ben play. I've often heard his openers (who often are from his label) play his tracks as well (especially the ones they've produced or remixed). Ben Watt just wants a party, encourages his warmups to play that way and is never intimidated or upstaged by any of them. Class act and a true artist, imo. ;)
It was just too bad that Justin didn't play his remix of "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" in this set. He dropped it at this year's WMC (right before Ben got on, as a matter of fact) and had the place in hysterics and jumping all over the place.[/quote]
well you sound like you know more about Ben & Co. then I do. probly one of the biggest compaints as promoter that I hear from featured/main event DJ's is young upstarts stealing the show and leaving the main event DJ nowhere to go but to play harder. can't imagine any DJ wishing that on themselves but...
