Men of the moment and flavours of the month come and go, as the phrases suggest. Its relatively easy to get a short-term buzz in dance music - but in these days of limitless downloads and increasing disposability, few hotshots have got it what it takes to go the distance.

Meanwhile his acclaimed live sets continue to grow in reputation, his charismatic stage presence bringing a breath of fresh air to the usual limp and lifeless laptop workout.
