Sorry Dave, but that`s nonsense, Moggy just played on the Sat night at Hippos, what Jay played the night before on Friday`s, plus he played too many girly tunes for my liking??
To be fair though, I think that had a lot to do with the type of nights at hippos and the fact that unlike today where you have a whole back catalog of old skool tunes to pick from, back in the day you were at the mercy of which tunes came out each week. There were limited numbers of good tunes so you would deffo get some cross over between the 2 of them.
I think the critical difference between moggy and Jay was that Moggy played for the crowd where as Jay played for himself. Jay would try and mix 2 tunes all the way through, even though it sounded crap. Sometimes it sounded great but more often that not is was just a dj trying to be a clever dick. You said yourself that Moggy played too many girly tunes. 1st rule of djing is get the birds up and the lads will follow.
At the end of the day we each have out own tastes when it comes to tunes so we will be attracted to the dj that plays what we like.
In later years I thought Moggy was head and shoulders the best dj at Maximes. Considering they had the likes of XTC and Nipper on regulary then that is high praise indeed.
Moggy was the David Silva of the Manchester dj scene. He made it look so much easier than everyone else yet never gets the plaudits he deserves due to the prominence of other big names who are just not as good.

When he's up for it, John Digweed pisses all over Sasha and every other fucker too.
You basing that on today or when Sasha was at his best playing at Shelleys? Digweed might be better technically now but there is no way he is adored or as groundbreaking as Sasha was back in the day.
edit - For the record, I have always preferred Nipper to Sasha.
