-- Worst performance you've seen by a professional DJ?
Pages (5): « 1 2 [3] 4 5 »

First one that springs to mind was Mark Norman @ Promise in 2003 i think it was. Argh it pains me to think i paid money to hear that shite

sasha @ meet me, slovenia. boring-going nowhere-boring-boring set

It pains me to say it but.... JOOF. Saw him at Gatecrahser NE-ICE in Nottingham in about 2004 I think. He severely trainwrecked about 5 times.


On a level with this is David Guetta at Creamfields 2004 - spent most of the set sucking his own cock then stopped the tunes and played Nirvana - smells like teen spirit <------ great song, just not played at the right time or event.

I have seen 90 Minutes of Brooklyn Bounce



The guy was dressed like a lumber jack, wearing old torn clothes, rediculously trainwrecked every mix and played zombie nation 3 times

Sounds like most hardstyle/hard dance DJ's

this worries me, since you're not the first person to say that & i thought he was fine. i must have been far more twatted than i initially thought

though saying that, between pvd & eddie halliwell was all one massive blur since the times were all ballsed up, and i think matt hardwick was playing b2b with j00f at one point?

LMAO!! I dance straight - no chemicals or alcohol, so I tend to remember most bits about most nights. JOOF played some great stuff but just wrecked about 5 mixes - in a row, that was what was worst about it.

I can remember a B2B bit - only for a short time though. I think it was Hardwick and JOOF - so maybe you weren't as twatted as you thought

John Kelly at a Slinky classics night sometime in summer 2005.

Mixing was absolutely appalling, he kept dropping really stupid accapellas and sample over the top of every track he played, out of time and out of key. His beatmatching was all over the shop, at one point he just randomly pitched up the live track by about 4-5%

And his tune selection was woeful, I mean, classics nights are pretty hard to fuck up tracks wise, but he managed to do it.

I will never, ever, ever see that twat DJ ever again. Id even be dubious about going to an event he was playing at unless the rest of the lineup was amaaazing.

I'm kind of worried if I'm the only one who has brought up George Acosta so far

tiesto @ central park NYC sept. 2004

absolute shite, no flow, no energy, nothing

I've seen some awful dj's in my day, but hands down the worst performance by a top name dj for me goes to two people...

Paul Oakenfold (Numerous Times)
I'm not sure why I see this tool play live anymore (maybe free tix help, I don't know), but I haven't seen him play a decent set since 2000. It's as if he simply doesn't give a damn anymore. He's too busy pumping his fists into the air with a smug satisfaction that he's the king of "playing other people's music" to acknowledge the skill he supposedly has. I mean why bother, right? He's Paul Oakenfold, an innovoator of the modern rave. Mr. Shoom and whatnot? Mister Ibiza Baleric Trance, right? Let's forget that he pioneered progressive trance (by whoring out Goa Trance). Let's not forget that his "big break" was opening for superstar band U2. Yes, he's accomplished and his contribution to the music is great. But then again, so is his ego these days. So much for being humble.

BT (Live Performance - Electric Daisy Carnival 2000)
Okay, I've got to give the guy props for pioneering new technology (one of the first to take on Ableton Live) and the guy really knows music inside and out. But this performance was the start of a series of sets in which I've come to notice that he indeed is too smart for his own good. He's a bit too eager to take on technology and it shows in his performances. Worst part is that at the end of his performance, he thrashed the gear onstage in a psuedo-rockstar fashion. Oh yah, the music was still playing despite just about every piece of gear being toppled over.... Curious-er and curious-er, I say.

Paul Oakenfold @ Crobar, Nov 2005. Sadly, the real Oakey is dead!

That party wasnt great, but it was OK.

Man, I've only seen Oakie once (last year), and I thought it was an outstanding show. Either it was an "on" day for him, or I was too intoxicated to notice.

To me, that says technical problem

FELIX DA HOUSE CAT.


worst dj ever

never seen one single good set from him.

Why? Just because it was J00F?

Andrew Fletcher (Depeche Mode) @ Pukkelpop (festival) here in Belgium. He wasn't beatmixing at all, and when he tried he was trainwrecking the place down

I think the question is not specific enough. For example, if a DJ played many great tracks but couldn't mix for shit, IMO it's not memorable but the t/l makes up for it. If he was just crap all over the place.. tunes, mixing, everything then yes, that's what should answer this question.

everything sucked in his set
mixing, TL, ...

he only had interaction with the public. I was constantly waving with Depeche Mode records and thinking of his ego.

What a moron mixer

no, because it was good then suddenly he trainwrecks 5 times in a row...

Could have been busted headphones, malfunctioning CDJ, etc, etc.

Baby Anne at Charlotte last summer. She looked like she was lost in the K-Hole, played boring-ass Breaks, and just plain sucked the whole night. She didn't look up at the crowd AT ALL, and her yawn-inducing selection proved it. I spent almost the whole time in the chill-out area. What a waste...

On the other hand, Icey came a month later and made me remember that there is good Breaks when he tore the place up
