An undoubted highlight of Neils role was working with celebrity DJs, explaining to them the gameplay criteria and instructing them on how to create mixes that would make full use of the games feature set, all the while not hampering their creativity. For some DJs, this activity happened over the wire with mixes going back and forth for comment. For others, the work took place at Neils office or in the DJs own home studio.
Jazzy Jeff came to us and there he was, right across the room, cutting up LL Cool J it was very cool. The most unforgettable time for me was with legendary Grandmaster Flash. There I am in Flashs house, in his studio, asking him to do another take. I definitely had to pinch myself it was very surreal.
