It pains me so much to throw Norman into the Hasbeen Deejays arena but I have to. I hear he has a new album on the way or some single to be remixed but Norman what happened to you.

You are one of the greatest producers and artists to ever be born. Your amazing Magic Carpet Ride from your alias Mighty Dub Kats started it for me. I got into electronic music a little late for some but better late than never.

Everybody needs a 303 was class, so was your mighty Rockafeller Skank (one of my faves to this day). You brought us Praise You, Sunset (Bird of Prey), Weapon of Choice (with amazing videos for it)

Your remixes were some of the greatest. I believe your best was Brimful of Asha by the one hit wonders Cornershop. You were such a fucking party animal, your Brighton Beach parties (made the council mad about the numbers and safety). You probably did every drug known to man and you were a proper nutter. You were a big part of Big Beat.

Your greatest time was you vs. Armand van Helden, which was played on Radio 1

In the past decade, you have calmed down. Got married, had 2 kids. You went to rehab and kicked the booze habit (well done!) and you kicked the drugs and the smokes (well done!). You started trying to run marathons (good choice). You own 12% in your local footy team....nice man

I understand you are probably at home, collecting the money and royalties and you have a great life. Heck you were at the closing ceremonies of the 2012 olympics.

But you need to release some more choons and remixes, you are so talented but now you have gone into the realms of hasbeens....its a damn shame tho....you were a real music factory.

Tho his sets were average but I will give it to him by dropping Star 69 over some wild techno beat. Some tracks still get the body going (mine included!) Global 500 wasnt bad

still a hasbeen but he still knows how to play a fucking crowd! Legend!
