"AFAIK i am the ONLY dj who will play this
kinda music in his set."

just an FYI;
i play it on the radio, i played a set last summer at a festival in Wyoming
(!), and will be going to a show on the 29th here locally called the
"click-house project" where a bunch of house DJ's will be spinnin housey
clicks and cuts... and I am sure there are tons of other DJ's doin similar
things around the world. let the cartoons begin!
