DJs that mix using ONLY heaphones

I just posted a question in the DJ booth in relation to mixing using headphones only and it got me thinking...other than Hernan Cattaneo, are there any others that use only their headphones to mix???

Most dj's use the cup method. don't really know anyone that only uses headphones. I enjoy only headphones but honestly don't know how i'd do it cuz there are some places where I don't know he'd be able to hear it.

I've always wanted to teach myself how to mix with just headphones but i don't see the point either. I guess cuz i've always been fortunate enuf to have a monitor. No monitor means I'll just have to blow chunks.

I used to be able to do both, but ever since I've moved into a dorm where we can't really have loud speakers, I can only do headphones only now. It's good to know both, and I believe safer for your ears to do cup-monitor. When you only do headphones, you have to crank the volume unbelievably to hear.
