lauralhsubject: do your research "snobs"
Whoever wrote up the "preview" for Dave Ralph at Element must have some sort of deficiency. I imagine that all the person did to find out anything about Dave Ralph was see he was on the same label as Paul Oakenfold. And of course, as everyone who knows anything about electronic music knows, anything even remotely connected to Paul Oakenfold has to suck. Except, of course, only idiots who are pretending to be techno snobs think this.
If the writer had done even a cursory Google search, the writer would have seen evidence of a brilliant DJ career of over twenty years. I personally showed up at his show at Element and was amazed at the range of discs being spun. House, funk, 70s and current pop songs being mixed live, industrial, and yes, a few trance records. But no prog, as a matter of fact. Dismissing him as "one of Oakenfold's boys" is truly purile and ignorant.
