good track, but somehow i have a hard time trying to listen to it again. I dont know why, but I find it lacking some background "noise" (it feels somewhat empty). The B side on the other hand. Superb

This isn't an actual "official" set by him from what I was told. For whatever reason he had to kill almost a half hour. So he decided to just do whatever and just have fun with it. It wasn't meant to be his best work. Sure there are some cringe-worthy moments there. I'm still not fond of that manjari mashup at the very beginning with all the scratching, but I think it was pretty fun and amusing what he did.
Seeing him live over 3 times now, he has never disappointed me :)

What? No disagreement with you personally but that's a crock on his part if true. Surely the fact that he was there in person controlling the mixer and playing the music makes it an "official" set by definition. The idea that you can pick and choose the work that "actually counts" toward your reputation is insane.
On a side-note, although I reckon he's great and one of the few DJs that can actually offer something beyond 2-dimensional playback, it's stuff like that cut out of Future Fuzz before dropping it that's started to annoy me about his sets. I feel like he's correlated "better" with faster and glitchier, and, somewhere along the line in his perpetual quest to get there, forgotten how to just let a good tune play to its full effect. Also that cutting the off-beats thing he does all the time is seriously jarring, if I was one for dancing I imagine it would fuck me right off.
I wonder if that still makes me a hater, even though I've made it loud and clear that I think he's a brilliant DJ. :/

The point of 2 Decks 1 Mixer was to be a short little interlude showing off Gammer's skills. I think Gammer did a normal set that night as well.
The idea is for the crowd to be entertained by the mixing itself, not the tunes and I believe it was billed that way too. I compare it to the DMC World Championships, you dont go there to dance, you go to see turntablism.

Yeah, that's fair enough, but he does the stuff I was talking about in "actual" sets too. Not usually to the same extent but making it blatantly obvious what tune is coming next within the first 8 bars of the drop so often is OTT as well.
