escee, I agree with you totally and 100% on both of your replies. If I had time this is what I would have said.

Bottom line is im sick of hearing sets made up entirely of the latest anthems from tiesto, armin and the rest. If I wanted to hear such then I would go straight to the source and download a Tiesto set or ASOT episode.

champ!


ghostface: wtf is wrong with hip hop?


and blah blah blah, i agree with escee as well, well why wouldnt you.

escee gets my vote and my nose.

ffs
and then ppl say im an elitest.

I speak for myself and some other djs on TA, the reason why some of us choose to play anthems is because -
1, They sound good.
2, There well written.
3, Some of them are not preditable as alot of tracks are.
4, There not cheesy.
5, There alot more captivating.
6, Some of the Djs who choose to buy/play these tracks do so because they LOVE it and they stand out in a well programmed set with other tracks.

not to be rude reemo, but it would be a dame shame if Djs would stop buying the latest anthems from your website.

spot on.

Then maybe you need to read my post again Steve, the operative word being "ENTIRELY".

haha
Ive always wanted a nose there, and now I have one.

Strangis: Why get so upset? I wasnt being elitist at all, and I certainly wasnt speaking for anyone else. While I disagree with some of your 6 points you are entitled to them. If you want to play what everyone else plays and you are happy with that, good for you.

I play the same set as dj sammy because i want to.

The day hasnt come in australia where an up and coming dj can PLay a totally unknown trance set and get away with it.
PeoPLe go to clubs to hear the songs they like...if it fits into a dj's sound and they enjoy it...then why not?
DJ x Plays a big anthem...lets say 'White room'. Then punter Y who has never heard DJ x says "Oh I love this track...that DJ likes the same stuff as me...I like this guy"...bang new fan.

not saying anthem sets are the way to go..but anthems gotta be PLayed atm.

Ya just gotta find a balance. Theres always room to build the set without too many anthems, but they are still needed.

As for whose the best, pointless. There are some quality djs in each state, bar maybe Adelaide

Did someone mention Steve? Where does Steve come into this?
I was in no way implying anything about any DJ in particular and certainly not Steve. I think Steve Strangis has a style he can call his own more so than other UMT DJ's in Melbourne that come to mind.

oh... btw my vote goes to Albert Mangler "the best dj on AU dot TA"

actually reemo I tend to agree with ya there.

Mangler always gets a crowd rocking away he knows what melbourne average punter likes

One other thing I think is important is how much fun a dj is perceived as having behind the decks. I always enjoy watching a dj groove around- particularly their face as it tells alot about what they are feeling for the track, the crowd, the experience, etc.. You play for yourself, and for the crowd - there's something amazing about sharing your selections with a whole room. Looking like you're enjoying youself get's high marks on my score card. And without having "seen" many interstaters, I guess it's hard to enter a fair nomination.

Got to agree here!

amen.. what the hell is this crap anyways? sounds like hard nrg with an intelligent rhythm line..

with exceptions of course - g&m project "sunday afternoon" i love .

LOL @ this thread turning into yet another Melbourne Trance DJ debate

My thoughts; Steve Strangis is def one of my favourites, then in Sydney, Diggs and Morro and Cam!!

This thread really is asking for debate though as a question such as 'who's the best DJ on au.ta' is not something that can really be measured on this forum as there are so many personal opinions that are influenced by personal friendships etc! We have so many great DJ's on this forum and so many up and coming DJ's with great potential, lets just celebrate this, celebrate the fact that trance is alive and growing!!

PLUR

after listening to his new mixcd, i have to say Mehran Rowes (Psygnosis) is DEFINATELY up there..

i hear he's just a youngster too.. so good luck to him, when he's old enough to get into the clubz

yeah i heard Mehran Rowes play a great set at Trancetribe Reloaded

pity i left the demo cd he gave me in scotts car and havn't got it back yet :/

There is only one way to solve the problem of not playing all the anthems etc. That is don't download sets.
Right now I'm fully into breaks . . . I've never heard a breaks set, except what I've heard at clubs. I much prefer to just listen to tracks and buy what I like, and what I think would go off.
People are always going to be influenced by the djs they listen to, as they are listening to enjoy it, and people play what they enjoy.
Theres also alot of chatter about people playing stuff they don;t like purely to please a crowd. Sure there may be some loosers like that, but have pity for the fools, as they are the ones who have to practice listening to these songs they don;t even like.
Anyway, I havent heard many djs from au.ta, but I can easily say Slade and Cam are the best I've heard. Slade's sets are awsome, even if he is now playing like DJ Sammy.
And on a note of shameless self promotion here is one of my short interchanges between 2 breaks tracks with a noice sample I inserted as well.

very true

WHen i play in a club i gotta drop the od big tune, if i played my full on J00F style then people wouldn't remember my set... why? because the big tunes stick out. You just gotta choose decent anthems, not As the rush cums

Xavier plays the best RnB sets going round SO STFU.
