And how do you equate humble background with having a great radio personality? lol Deep Dish sold shoes before they became DJ's, let's stick them on the radio too!


Maybe 'humble' was the wrong word. What I was getting at, is he has come from the bottom of the club industry, and has seen many different sides to the business and music. The experience he gained building sound systems was directly related this his current craft as a DJ and club owner. DD's experience selling shoes don't really have much effect on their music careers.

Don't know if you saw Carl last year at the Guv, but definitely not washed up. The guy had a monster set, and people are constantly looking to hear him again. By that argument, Tong hasn't been a great DJ for years (or ever), but he knows music and how to distribute it.

I think Jon's saying Cox's washed up in terms of consistency. His sets aren't as consistently good as they once were time and time again?


As for replacing Pete Tong, Digweed's voice IS radio worthy. I just don't know how well he would fare across genres...mebbe Annie Mac will do it? (As in Annie Nightengale?)

What the fuck does having a "monster" set at Guv have to do with him being able to host a radio show? lol Didn't we already establish that Tong himself is a B (more like C) list DJ when it comes to in DA CLUB. I'm talking about a RADIO DJ who could have (1) the personality, (2) the LARGE breadth + scope of music that Tong has and (3) has a great voice.

And regardless Carl Cox is just as fucking old as Tong is. Why the hell are you arguing with me over this, you discounted him yourself in the opening post?

I think 15-20yrs for sure. He may have to slow down the club gig's but it doesn't take much to sit at a desk & talk into mic.

COX sucked my left testicle at Time Warp...couldn't even last 30 minutes of his set and my two friends who stayed for his entire set said its the worst set they have ever heard from him...

Holy moly. Yes, I did discount him in the first post, and yes you are right about him being a poorer radio personality than Tong. The only reason I kept talking about him was to agree with you that he ad a terrible radio voice, but to explain why I suggested him in the first place.

No need to get up in arms. Has the recent state of TA gotten the better of you as well?

it's gotta be someone with a true appreciation for all styles/forms of music with the knowledge to back it up.. Annie Mac's a good suggestion

tong was even more boring than lawler so I for one am glad to see him go...

I wish he would take picotto with him...

And if Cox keeps going the way he's going....goodbye to him too...

I guess the old guys just get tired and slow down their music...
