I've never seen/heard him mix before, nor have I heard a production from him. I'll be seeing him in Austin for Future Fest and I heard he is going to rock the house. I dig a lot of sub-genres of EDM, but tech-trance is definitely one of my favorites, so I hope he plays some. I suppose we'll see. Any thoughts/comments?

Eddie Halliwell is probably the best turntablelist at this moment, along with Zabiela and Carl Cox. And yes, he has got no productions. Make sure you check youtube for some vids

He rapes tracks, is what he does
90% of the shit he does sounds absolutely horrible.
And that was Eddie doing his one and only trick. man he loves himself.

I'm of the opinion that if scratching does not have a beat with it or create a beat then it sounds like 20 hungry cats stuffed in a box and beaten. The beginning sounded so bad. Who wants to stop dancing and listen to that?

That's not skill, it's wankery.
Great tracks?
The man has hammered Traffic and Lethal Industry for years, which are not only old as fuck, but simply awful. And even if he did play a good track or two, it is irrelevant since he will rape them with his "skills" and turn them into unlistenable garbage.
