It might help you appreciate the mixing more as he plays some stuff I'm sure you'll know, and it's not "dance music" per se. Some of it's mixed on 45s as well, which is cool.
It's a world of difference from Soulwax just mixing two tracks together on a Mac to make a new track - this dude is the real deal. Some good uses of scratching and ace DJing, I reckon. The Tool mix at the beginning is pure class.
I'm sure there are a ton of folk who do this sort of thing, but Z - trip floats my boat.
Not sure if this'll help you "get" mixing / DJing but it's something a bit different, if anything.
