Do none of you know who this guy is? This is the man who gave you the pounding bassline of Blue Monday by New Order. He's a very talented song writer. Also not afraid to push the boundries of music technology.
Peter Hook stepped in because the real DJ didn't show, and no one else would step in at this event. He was faking it, and he doesn't even DJ (Although you probably didn't need me to tell you that ). If anyone is shit it's MTV for not having any other DJs around at an event like this.
Still pretty cool that he totally f*cking goes for it though, but pretty low from MTV to even pretend that this would be okay.

Doesn't excuse the fact that he acts like a complete idiot behind the decks.

Some of you need to relax and realise it's not all about mixing technique and skill. This guy is your full blow proof that simply having fun while throwing down tracks is enough to work a crowd. People obviously love it and he gets everyone goin nuts. I think I would have a blast at one of his shows!

It is what it is. You couldn't obviously go expecting amazing technical skill, just a crazy time. I think he'd deliver in that aspect.

It negates the point of a DJ. Why not just play a pre-recorded CD and dance WITH the crowd ON the floor then?
Grandstanding is stupid.

Because it probably wouldn't get the crowd as excited as they are while he is up there acting like a tool?

I've seen Paul Oakenfold do the same crazy moves as this guy, and I've even seen him fake a mix, it's MTV's fault for putting him in the limelight when he really isnt a DJ at all. but yes what is the point of a DJ if he just plays a pre-recorded mix CD and acts like a fool on stage, its like britmy spears lip syncing to a recording of her own songs.

So Hooks was forced to pretend to dj?
