[Dynagroove] Bad F.A.M.I.L.Y.

[Cade O Nelson]

You think many of the local DJs have access to the records Mark Farina
has?  Or Diz?  Derrick Carter?  No those guys get promo's long before
records come out.  They always play the freshest of music...  DJs like
that also have some serious mixing skills...  So when we get these amazing
mixers who drop amazing new music then there is a big difference compared
to the local DJ who (unfortunatly) has to sound like every other local D
shopping at the same local record stores.  Don't forget th ose out of town
DJ have access to all the record stores in all the other towns they
play...
