From page 40: Unlike most other musicians, the DJ is expected to play alone; this is the musical function of the disk jockey. Nonetheless, DJs with a band have often been more commercially successful than solo DJs, and scratching has taken an important position in many bandsŐ sound (among others, Portishead, Limp Bizkit, Sugar Ray, Uri Caine, and Ozomatli).
Portishead was one of the leading bands in trip-hop, and had two DJs in the band. The samples used are often recordings from the band pressed on vinyl at an early stage of the song writing.
