Dave Clarke was here in 2005 (Guv Can Day party - the last time they booked solid techno I believe) - considering how much of a princess he is when it comes to playing in North America, I wouldn't expect him back here any time soon.

| Originally posted by slingshot You sound a bit dejected broski. Maybe this will cheer you up a bit... Feel free to argue that you don't see any minimal dj's doing this type of super technical banging wizardry at all and therefore they, as well as the genre sucks because of it. |

Jeff Milligan is up there, but he can be really hit or miss. Few times he's blown me away and made me dance my ass off. Other times he's been technically impressive, but boring otherwise. Other times he's just off on both counts.
His 2-deck set at TOI bar awhile ago, followed by a 4 deck set at footwork was pretty stellar. 2nd time I saw him at FW, after Robert Hood who killed it, he completely killed the energy on the dance floor and had me leaving early.

| Originally posted by slingshot Digweed. To a lesser and more subtle extent. I've seen Dubfire pull off shit like this when he gets going crazy. Carl Cox does this type of shit when he's on his game. Chris Liebing can do some pretty cool shit as well. Or how about Richie and his 3 song mash-up meet in one moment of madness segments. Shit doesn't have to be at 130+ to be super technical, layered, and extremely well thought out and clever. Jeff Mills is obviously in a league of his own but there are quite a few DJ's out there that are just a step below him in terms of technical ability and creativy. And much respect to Addy, but to compare him and Jeff Mills in a discussion on technical ability is a bit of a stretch. Constantly making attempts at 3 and 4 deck mash-ups that sometimes turn out ok ain't the same as doing it consistently and cohesively. Addy does it well sometimes. Jeff Mills does it well in his sleep. |
lol, we should turn this into a "Can someone please bring Jeff Mills to Toronto" thread.
