I don't really touch the mixer when there's nothing to do but if both hands are busy actually doing something, I'm getting really into it and there's a cymbal crash on the first of a phrase, then I tend to throw my left hand up in the air a little bit.

it always makes me happy to watch him head bang whilst betwixing the treble knob.

Oh.
But still, when he moves those sliders (or however they're called), he barely moves them, it looks like he's trying to be very very precise, as if they have to be in the exact, specific place.

No you don't, it was never about what the DJ looked like. Two words:

Sometimes I yell at him to make sure he's not just asleep up there.

Is that when you're taking a break from cupping his balls?

Jeff Mills mixing isn't precise in the least, it's fast and furious, but it's often out - more so now than what he used to be. When you play as many records as he does during a set I guess you can let him off with the odd trainwreck.

Not precise mixing... He looks like he's moving sliders 1 millimetre by 1 millimetre. Not necessary if you ask me.
