I almost want to go just for that.

DJ Q playing a fine selection of bassline to warm up and eliciting a mutiny from the berliners and tourists.

yeah i remember the "The last word goes to John Eden," bit

I do like
"So after forty years of rewinding tunes, one thing is for sure: the rewind is the most democratic musical practice of modern times: it ensures no one, audience or DJ, is above anyone else. It also has a bad rep for being abused, the tool of coked-up MCs disconnected from the crowd. Sort of like politics today. Like I said, democratic."

WESTWOOD:
"In my scene we have something called “money pullups”, it’s very big in reggae. I’ll pull up certain records just for the energy or excitement but if there’s a crew in there going mad, and they just want a track pulled up, pulled up, pulled up, they’ll throw money at you - that’s money pullups. At New Year’s Eve I was doing a party in Hitchin and I must have got £700 in money pullups, with people just throwing fifties, twenties, tens, fives at the DJ box and I must have pulled this one record – by someone called Big French, he’s big over there, in that area – for about 45 minutes. What the normal practice should be is that, at the end of the night, you give that money out to all the girls in the party. That’s what I believe you should do. But that NYE, it was over £700. I actually just kept it."
