Good buddy of mine is a promoter for Big Wig and vouches for their occasional lapses into non-fucked music. For straight up good DJs who play good 80's music regardless of genre, I like Club Foote. Depeche Mode to The Cure to Ozzy to The Smiths to Poison... I like that sort of fucked-up mixture. -- smr To mail me, reverse the domain info in my addy.
