Haha... well of course there are, some things get written out in the name of being reader friendly!

I agree, many secretive DJs aren't 'one step ahead' at all, but by keeping the odd 'secret weapon', they may feel they're retaining something that separates them from their colleagues.  This might be for several reasons, not least of all insecurity and lack of belief in their own skills.  I recently let a friend borrow two of my 'secret weapons', and I still feel naked!  Very strange...
Bill, your secret weapon is the fact that you invest so much time and energy in finding new and fresh tracks, this is unmatched by anyone I know.  I think you underestimate your edge here... well earned by the way!

As to the 'intelligence' of the audience, I have to agree with Ben here, you are gracing too many with your level of interest in the music.  Certainly it may be the case with SoulGood on FreshFm, as the audience is more heavily comprised of music listeners, but in a club environment I think this component of the audience is lacking.  The club audience, in the main, are 'partyers' as opposed to listeners, many will leave without appreciating what new sounds graced their ears, and many will not even know who has just played.
I think it is more appropriate to address 'desire', rather than refer to intelligence.  By this I mean what exactly the audience wants from the experience.  The people that sit down in front of the radio and tune into SoulGood, craving the latest releases, can be the same as those who stand in the front row and shout for 'Call On Me'. I include myself in this category.  The reasons?  Where do you start... intoxication perhaps!

A Jon Whiley Top Ten?  well I'll start with a couple that I can't get enough of at the moment...  all been about for a couple of months:
Bongoloverz - Power Of Music (Dub)... massive smile factor:)
Toby Neal - Join The Dots... just can't not move to it... and...
Alter Ego - Rocker... mad tune I just love.

Liking your number One Bill, Dirty Filthy... it was my September Top tune ;) lol...

Take Care.
