maybe he would be a big cicuit DJ,
maybe he would be doing what tenaglia is doing.
you can never say for sure.
or he could doing what FK is doing now.
any which way people would probably be dissing him just for the sake of hating..........
he played all types of music,
why would he narrow himself down to one style or vibe?
and he liked pushing boundaries,so he would probably play something off the wall just to p*ss some narrow minded people off.
Then again,
no one will ever know will they?

my opinion:
he would play whatever he wanted to play because he can get away with it being who he was.

He would be doing what Larry always does....lead from the front and all others would be either loving him or hating him.

He was always a pioneer and that's what he would be today....I miss the man, I miss the man's music!

If Larry would have been healthy without any drug problems,he`d probably unearth gems no one else would think of.Not many people have that talent.

*this is my theory* he got tired of 'the biz' and now only plays Dub records, i.e. he did a Bobby Konders! :D

That's just the thing with people who work on that level, we cannot figure out what they will do next, or what they would be doing if they were alive. WE could interpret everything we have from him and try to come up with something, but i'll bet that if we could find out for sure, we would all be very surprised. It is that level of unpredictability which makes the loss of Larry and other greats such a hard blow for culture. To somewhat follow the example used by C.S Lewis, it is as if space aliens came to an earth where people no longer existed and most of what we called culture had disappeared. Supposing they could only recover the early works of Vincent Van Gogh, and painstakingly analysed every broushstroke, keeping in mind recurring patterns and tendencies. Using this to try to figure out what his later work might have looked like, do you think they could form even the faintest pictures in their minds of something like Starry Night? No. Oddly enough, however, when one looks at starry night he clearly sees the development from Van Gogh's earlier works. Such is the value of the individual, which will never cease to leave science and speculation in awe. We will never know, or even come close to answering that question. Such is Larry's greatness.
