i don't really care if a dj takes drugs, as long as s/he plays a good set. i just thik it's a bit pathetic people wanting to know names of drugged up dj's

that sasha story isn't shame, thats CLASS!

Sasha (one of the most famous cainers of all time, found drunk and coked out in a ditch in ibiza about 90 mins before a set and he went on to play the greatest set of his life)

Brandon Block
Alex P (both heavy drug abusers at times)

Marc Spoon (not really a dj imo but a true drug addict, got arrested for E in Ibiza)

Tall Paul (Cokehead)

Sandra Collins (cokehead from what i've heard)

Oakenfold (cokenfold to some)

Tiesto (cokehead)

i bet most deejays have done drugs at some point and some continue to do it. Heck it killed Ron Hardy and Larry Levan (both house godfathers, hardy was an inspiration to ppl that started techno and levan was an inspiration to many). Both died because of their drug habits that caught up with them.


LMAO Tiesto "the wolf" a big time Charles & Eddy fan, I can see why now hes world no1

I'll second that! Tell us, tell us - tell us!!

this is a very interesting topic. however, i gotta agree with a lot of yall, this is totally the DJs personal business, i could care less. drugs have also always been a part of the electronic music/clubbing scene, so it should come as no surprise or dislike to anyone that some of your favorite djs may be involved in some taboo things.

just my $.02 though


Posted by BshidoHEAT on Feb-20-2004 17:32:

Interesting thread..

I agree that if a DJ uses them, it's their business as long as they play some good tunes. But I'm just curious like some people. I don't think that's such a bad thing.

BTW, I was told by Ferry that he never used drugs before.


Posted by NickPilon on Feb-20-2004 19:47:

I agree that's a personnal problem for them. We do not know their life and I think that when your name is "Tiesto" and you have 10 GIG in 15 days. Probably, you become tired a little bit faster, so you have to find a solution to stay up and ready for your fans, and sleep should not be the famous choice for them.

I would say Sven V�th also takes drugs. A friend saw him at a club, and he told me Sven was really doping for drugs.
For me isn't a problem that Dj's take drugs if they do a good set.


Posted by torontotrance on Feb-20-2004 21:37:

Jon Carter used to be much worse and he like many a list deejays have stopped or slowed down in their older age. Tall Paul is a total cokehead, I heard from a promoter friend and he would not play till he got some coke, he is shit anyway.

Too many deejays have drinking problems

funny how drugs help certain deejays, all the greatest sasha sets, he has be either coming off from getting trashed or trashed period.

I've got an old picture of Sven Vath (we're talking early '90's here) wearing a t-shirt that says "A pill an hour gives the dj power" with a big smiley face below it. So dunno if he still does it now but it's safe to assume he did then!!

nearly everytime I've seen Armin he's been fucked, in fact it's common knowledge he used to have half of columbia up his nose when he played crasher
probably why he's gone shit


Posted by Sean Walsh on Feb-20-2004 22:59:

Hehehe, without naming any names, a lot of the top100 are total drug addicts. I've partied with a few awesome big name DJs that really know how to fucking rip it up =P

if thats true then that really is sad and goes beyond the 'cainer' image to just being someone who has lost the grip on their drug use.no score.

and Paul van Dyk + Judge Jules did anti drugs campaigns
a lot of people say things, but I've seen armin fucked out of his face on numerous occasions, and he can argue all he wants
and then we'll just dig out the picture of him at hat night at gatecrasher

He also said he didnt have a problem with people who used drugs if they knew how to control it because its not fair is some guy ODs and ruins it for everyone else so its not like he was covering his own ass. See the fucking film before you talk. And i dont give a shit if armin drowns in cocaine, im just telling you what i heard comming out of his mouth.

Well maybe if we had clubs i would go there... but i live in montana, the only clubs we have are for cowboys, and here u cant get into any clubs/raves until ur 18, and gettin a fake id here... not really worth it


Posted by Tigo on Feb-21-2004 03:32:
