No, I mean flawed as in "human", like what you'll hear when you listen to John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, or as I suggested in that link, Fumiya Tanaka. There are times during "Mix-Up Vol. 4" when it sounds like he's on the verge of losing it, barely keeping the mix together - easy to cut him some slack considering he's mixing 130 bpm Techno on 3 decks. Flaws and all, the trip he takes the crowd on is nothing short of amazing. The "mistakes" actually make the set more exciting than if it were technically perfect - the tension that's created as a result only serves to add to his impeccable programming.

Trainwrecks, horses coming down the track, shoes in the dryer - that isn't flawed, it's unskilled. On the other end, DJs who strive for technical perfection each and every time often miss out on the beauty that emerges from so-called "mistakes", and a lot of the times are the ones who don't take any real chances when they're behind the decks. It's nice to hear someone who's entirely comfortable with the middle ground that lies between the two.

lol shoes in the dryer.. never heard that one before
