He did an amazing mixed CD as Mathew Herbet on the Tresor label a few years ago, way ahead of it's time, its really worth finding.

i think he's one of the more interesting electronic music acts to see live, considering his off kilter sound. last time i saw him, he sampled on stage a britney spears cd he crushed, a BigMAc he smashed into some board, and the sound of a GAP shirt ripping and then put the gap bag on his head and the crowd went wild.

I saw him live in Edinburgh but thought he was over-rated...
not really my kinda music anyway, but after hearing how "he never uses the same sample twice...." etc etc and being told "he's used samples of things like newspaper being ripped...." AND THEN seeing him ripping newspaper for a sample making a big show of it being spontaneuous.... well I thought it was a bit hyped to be frank...
Support act was the mutt's nuts though!!
