Dunno what that dude is smoking these days...

I think osterzone's plan just backfired.

REPOST

in no particular order djs that never disappoint me.

Danny Howells : every time i have been to a Howells night i always get a dose of variety. Not to mention that he plays for 13 hours straight and pulls it off like not many could.

Lee Burridge: He has disappointed me once. Other than that i have raved hard to him many times. His music is not hard to get and pretty much in your face, but he knows how to kick a party into gear.

Joris Voorn: I'm not a fan of his productions, but he is the guy that uses traktor the best. Unbelievable mixing and energy. Even if he looks like a fag, his piknic electronique set was one of my highlights for this year.

Brendan Moeller aka Beat Pharmacy. : blew my mind away at mutek. This guy does the deep well.

Dan Bell: A legend who just plays great music, early mnmil from the 90's mixed with stuff from today.

A Guy Called Gerald : Another legend for me. He does mostly a live PA now using 2 laptops and reason, but the guy plays anything from rip your face of techno, jungle, house and so on. The guy has forgotten more about dance music than most know.

Robert Hood: no need to explain this one. he will rip off your face.

Loco Dice: I just love the different kind of stuff he puts together. His background as a hip hop dj shines through and you get a taste of the applied into electronic music that makes for great dancing.

Derrick Carter: When i want to go out and get funked to great house music, he usually is the guy that delivers for me.

Ricardo Villalobos.: I know what a lot of you will say, but i have seen him multiple times in different countries and he is simply the jesus of dance music. I don't really like his productions, but he will play obscure tracks from the 90's that sound like they were made yesterday within the context of his sets. Next level dj...you never know what you are going to get..(well if it is a big festival he will play one hour of music that the youtube kiddes want to hear, but if you stick around he will blow you away) The guy has a deep bag.

edit: Laurent Garnier: he doesn't mix the best, but man his sets have range. He plays everything and is the quintessential party time dj imo.

another one of the worst djs on the planet is sharam.

the guy mixes like he was wearing oven mitts.

I really haven't gotten out enough this year to make any sort of weighty or informed list, but the one DJ I was mega-disappointed this year was John Digweed. Having been a massive fan of his Transitions radio-shows and mix albums, I was expecting some deep, chunky, mindblowing music. Since I hadn't really bothered listening to any recent livesets of his (apart from the Amnesia Radio 1 set from 2008), I was understandably appalled when, as I was paying in to the venue at 11 pm, I could hear Grindhouse (Dubfire Remix) being fired out already. The whole night was just generic big-room techno/progno, and the only real highlight as such was him dropping Jark Prongo - Moving Through Your System as his last tune. Really really let down by a DJ who, from listening to his shows and mix cds, I thought would be one of the best.

it isn't that digweed or sasha are horrible djs, they just did not adapt well over the last 2 to 3 years to the changes in electronic music.

Bedrock might as well be a branch of Sci-Tec at this point, Digweed needs to do... something. I saw him a few months back with Sasha, and while the set was a lot of fun and not necessarily "bad", he was playing incredibly trite music. Stuff I would certainly never listen to on my own time, much less buy.

Originally posted by Clovis I'm only mentioning DJs who I could/might normally like, because otherwise this shit is way too easy. I mean look at Richard Durand. Look at him. He looks like a fucking dickhead. He probably smells like 8 gallons of AXE body spray and at the end of the night I'll bet there's enough sweat soaked hair gel dripping from his head to supply 8 Jersey guidos with a new "do".

Of the people I've seen in that list, I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, two amendements:

1. Joris Voorn seems to have a slipped a lot since he switched from CDJs.

2. Loco Dice I've only seen once - earlier this year - and he was fucking rubbish. Every track he played had the same bass line and was a banging monster that used white noise builds and big bass drops. He had absolutely no variety. However, if you say he is good then perhaps he was asked to play a particular sound that particular night.

Also, I think you should add Anthony Pappa and Hernan Cattaneo to your list. They are DJs who always bring it, and like Howells, they both have that same capacity to play mega-long sets in their sleep.

I'd completely forgotten about that. The funniest thing is that he obviously practiced to do it.

who else have you seen on that list for fun.

hernan bored the piss out of me when i did see him, and i have not seen anthony pappa in at least 6 years.

I'm by no means an expert neither, just listing those that catered to my tastes and made the parties memorable. I can link you to the set of the joris day in question, although we both know that sometimes you just need to be there.

it was a perfect day, outdoors, beautiful weather, about 5000 people all getting down like mad. All the reciped for a great party especially considering you can bring your own booze and it is only 10$.

I haven't seen loco in 2 years. But i will still stand by my post as i haven't experienced a shit set yet. This does not mean it can't happen

My God. That Abel Ramos video is abysmal. The actual part he does successfully is bad enough, but the fuck-up at the end is the icing on the very shitty cake.

Which mix albums are you referring to? When he released the transitions cds he played a lot of those tracks in his sets, same with Bedrock 10

He could ease back a bit off the harder techno stuff tho i.e. grindhouse and the likes

i'll take the opportunity to just pop this here.

i own this record and don't really like this song at all that much, but it is a lee burridge "go to" track that he always seems to drop and makes it work in ways i haven't figured out yet.
