amazing discovery!
I just rediscovered Misstress Barbara. I've had a set she did at Cocktail Club in Stockholm for a while now, but I guess I wasn't ready for her when I first got it.
I think the best things in life are the things you can't ever quite describe, and Misstress Barbara fits nicely in that category. If I had to label it, I'd say minimal tech, or even maximum minimal? Her whole sets have so so so many levels, it's really quite fascinating...
Anyways if you'd like, check her out. This is a really great mix, with some great energy and incredible mixing:

and I found this article on Booka Shade really fascinating too. If you don't know them or their label, Get Physical, you need to educate yourself!! ;) These guys truly smart!
"All these computer programs make DJing ridiculously easy, but the technical act of mixing two records so they beat match has never been the magic about Djing, anyway," he says. "The art of Djing is finding and combining the right records for the right moment, the perfect moment. A good DJ makes this 'moment' last for hours, without you even noticing." !!!!!!!!!!!!!
