Thumbs down to DJ Taj. (I saw him the same night as Glaude once, and maybe he's energetic, but Taj's tunes are horrid.)

If you think beatmatching and EQing are pretty much irrelevant, then yeah, he does great.

Halliwel plays shitty music, Burridge has charisma.

Donald Glaude is just wrong!

jzab puts on a real show, my fave.

eddie hall really does play shitty music.his transitions isnt good and theres no flow in his set whatsoever.

He can smile jump and make his wife dance in the dancefloor with me whilst giving flyers about his shitty djing(really this was quite low),
but ur still probably just gonna stand there and think why on earth people like him so much.

never seen burridge (thanks, snowstorm), but I don't think of JZ as doing 'entertaining.' He just has a really good time & enjoys it. When I think of 'entertaining,' I think of people who make a concerted effort to do more than they otherwise would, not necessarily for their own enjoyment, but for that of those watching.

oh man, do yourself a favor and catch lee whenever you can, not from the 'entertainment' aspect, but because the guy is a phenomenal dj who really enjoys what he's doing

I plan on doing that...just tell NY to stop allowing snow when good DJs need to catch flights.

Is your opinion based on hearing recordings or seeing him live? I admit that some of the sloppiness may make it unattractive listening at home (though his 2002 Essential Mix was pretty good), but when you're out live to have a good time, Glaude's energy overwhelms the technical shortcomings.

ummmm...no. just cause the guy jumps up and down like a clown does not make up for his horrible mixing. a dj is there to play records not act like a lunatic.

now if a dj can mix well while dancing around like an idiot than more power to him. but, this is not the case for glaude.

I think j00f's outstanding as a performer... Richard Durand played a 4 city tour in India recently... and he was full-on behind the decks as well.

I've watched Burridge play once and was blown away with his skills and mastery of his craft, but I don't remember him being very animated on stage..

Anyone hear DJ Gee at Bora Bora, Ibiza? His body language, though not animated, used to constantly convey a sense of warmth and positive vibes...
