	Phil K "DVjing has helped put more of my personality and taste into my performances. Most of the clips I make myself and most of the visuals that I use are filmed by me on my travels, so in a weird kinda way it's like the audience is watching the world through my eyes and experiencing something I have while I'm playing my music."
	James Zabiela "DVJing for me is just another way to have more fun behind the decks. Another element to control and manipulate and another dimension to take the crowd into."
