DJ with the best track selection

I haven't been to enough shows to say myself but I was wondering what some of you guys thought? Was just wondering which DJ you guys feel has the best track selection during live shows? Playing the right tracks at the right times, produces the most energy in the crowd, etc...

this may feel a bit repetetive but with no doubt John 00 Fleming.
not only does he have a nice path in his sets (starting of with some dark and slow progressive stuff, going up steadily to harder trance and finishing of with some banging psytrance) he also have a flawless trackselection

DuMonde
Also Yoji Biomehanika.....

Tiesto for me, just listen to his Dance Department set!!

My vote goes to Max Graham and Sander K.

Top spot = Desyn Masiello

Sander Kleinenberg
Sasha
Nic Fanciullis live sets are also very good
James Zabiela

Z-Trip
2 Many DJs
Erol Alkan

Why? They throw everything and the kitchen sink into their sets. Pure goodness.

man you havent heard trance until you've heard J00F :P
I suggest that you run to your local recordstore and buy J00Fs Whitelabel Euphoria 1 and 2.
And save some money for part 3 which will be released in May.
if you want any specific J00F sets I can recommend you his ASOT XXL from last summer and also Godskitchen Global Gathering 2002

his Exposure Festival 03' set is also very wicked
his 2001 EM is also nice

J00F bores me, so does CL. And don't even get me started on Tiesto or AvB...

Hm, let's see... out of trance DJs, over the years, I think Paul van Dyk has had one of the best track selections. Also Sasha, when he spun trancy stuff (pre-2000). Can't forget Oakenfold, though his mixing almost always sucked. Zabiela never disappoints... I mean, really, none of the tracks he plays bore me. Laurent Garnier plays pretty much everything and anything, so he's up there too.

The best, I think, is Sasha & John Digweed combined.

its tiesto hands down, everyone on here bitches about his mixing but u cant bitch about his TL

If im not wrong you mentioned in an earlier post that you hadn't even heard hardly anything from J00F. Judge after you've heard please.

And wasn't that 2 months ago or so? I tried listening to a few of his sets, and I got a headache.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's all well-produced stuff. But I've found that I either like the more organic sounding stuff or stuff that's as mechanical and unfeeling as possible. Black or white.

Sasha, Digweed, and Zabiela.
