So he used to be in New Order? What relevance does that have? It doesn't qualify someone to stand up and make an arse out of the whole DJing thing. I wouldn't expect Tony Wilson to automatically qualify to do lead vocals for the Happy Mondays just through his association with the whole movement.

Actually, I would say that you are one of the few.
I have never come across him in my time as a DJ. And judging by what I see in the thread, I hope I never do on a proffesional level.
But you have to say this, ok he acts like a tool but he must know how to build a set even if it's done at home or it wouldn't work in the club.
Would I go and see him... maybe, even if it's just out of curiosity. But I tell you what, some of you should definately lighten up and not take his actions so seriously.
He is a fake, I have to say it, and people come unstuck sooner or later. Although he may just have opened up a whole avenue of entertainment, i.e. watching the wrecked geriatric tweak a mixer to death.
In the imortal words of Maximus Decimus Meridius (Yes I know it's Russell Crowe and Maximus is actually a work of fiction)... Are you not entertained?!!
You guys are probably right though. It is a bit of a farce.

Any of you seen him live? Cos I have, n its Peter Hook, n it fucking rocked. I had my suspicions about whether he was actually mixing, but fuck it, he was playing tunes you just don't hear anywhere else n the crowd (1500 ppl at an outdoor festival) were going absolute mental.
Usually I'd care if a DJ was doing this, but the tunes were wicked, n his stupid moves were taking the piss of other DJs the entire time - hence, a fucking fun party!

Guy doesn't look like he's mixing ... but at the end he is there and we are all here. He seems to move the crowd and is a successful musician. I give him credit where he deserves it...he needs to work on his dance skillz though

Well its kinda obvious why he pre-records his sets... if he didnt he wouldnt have enough time to pull off his crazy dance moves and act like a fool up there..

he is there because of his skills as a bassist, new order/joy division and wotever other bands he was part of. not because he is a faking DJ lol.
put it this way, if it was just some random bloke with no previous claim to fame doing shit like this he would be pelted to death or somethin.
this thread is soo funny! i know he's faking it, BUT there has to be something we're not being told... i mean this guy has mad gigs and plays to large crowds. i watched all the videos and dont see him doing anything but eqing (fake eqing). i read some of his myspace page and people love this guy. my best guest is that he remixes and mixes the songs at home/in a studio and then plays them at the clubs/venues.
