Carl Craig was producing _well_ before he ever played out,
and has, over the last few years, semi-retired from DJing
to concentrate on producing music and running Planet E.
Stacey Pullen, on the other hand, has been DJing for a
_very_ long time (well before he produced any tracks)
and I'm surprised to hear his mixing slagged (though
I havent heard the mix CD in question), as he's been smooth
as silk the half-dozen or so times I've heard him play
clubs and/or parties. Is this a case of a truly sloppy mix
CD, or does the mixing just sound rough compared to
those dull pro-tools things most people put out
these days?
