Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was some silly Us vs. Them argument where you are the authority on the matter.

Go fuck yourself.

Apart from the shitty mixes you used to post, your YouTube picks in this thread show a predilection for trendy Hot Creations-style garbage, i.e. today's version of mnml. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Have you even listened to anything decent this year? Or just generic, functional, LA/Miami outdoor fist-pump shit? Reform Club? Voices From the Lake? Luxury Problems? Heard of them?

Holy shit. Like, are you kidding me?

I'm twenty one actually, and I've probably seen more Chicago and Detroit heads than you. What the fuck do you know about the music I listen to, Mr."I'm so cool I listen to delsin"?

What's wrong with Hot Creations?

In a surprise to nobody, chode_breath is actually worse for the scene than those whom he chooses to denigrate.

Hey everyone look at me, I listen to Claro Intelecto and Donato Dozzy. You're fucking special aren't you?

Its lame. Everything is lame.

You're wrong because I disagree.

Edit - And I'll bet a dime that you are basing your opinion off of 45 second Juno samples.

False. I own Hot Creations records. They are lame. Everything is lame.

You can move them over to the DOOMBOT bin at your place then. Thank you.

Consider it done. The bin also includes a pair of intentionally ironic oversized neon plastic sunglasses that look like they out of an 80's movie, a pair of (too) skinny jeans, and a ketamine jar large enough to put down an entire herd of wild horses.

Jokes aside though, I used to like Lovebirds' stuff way more.

OooO OooH I can answer this one:

What is, the list feels weird because its full of dj's who are 5 to 10 years past their prime?

How much did you wager Mark? Oh I see you bet it all, well that makes you our new Jeopardy champion!!

Or, how about, the list is full of DJs that are 5 - 10 year away from their prime?

I didnt even know some of the acts on there were dj's. I thought were just producers.

But back to my point, Richie Hawtin as number 2? On what grounds? Because M_nus is surging in popularity with its mnml sound? Because the M_Nus crew is bringing new sounds and technology to the forefront? I respect him a ton but the only way he's in the 2 spot in 2012 is because people saw a name they recognized and picked it.

And what has Villalobos done lately that got anyone excited?

Well Villalobos is still a great DJ and plays out all the time and released a pretty acclaimed LP this year on Perlon. Villalobos is one of a few DJs I'd go see any time.

As for Hawtin, this is my only comment:

Serious question. I personally have not seen a lot of the DJs on that list, but ive listened to a lot of their sets online when available and found the majority of them lackluster as far as DJing goes and what i perceive to be a great live dj set filled with energy, creativity, and great track selection in addition to taking you on a journey. My favorite DJ live currently is John '00' Fleming. That is who I would vote number 1. Obviously a trance DJ isnt exactly someone who will place in a RA poll. But I would really like to know what the posters on here who regularly read RA (system, woony, adam420 etc) and the posters complaining about the list the most, mark anthony, would vote for in a poll like this. One i generally would like to know what your opinions are, and two i would like to expand my list of djs who i would go out and see in 13.

I don't think System J reads RA lol.

I've pretty much seen a lot of techno DJs and they all kind of play the same here so I don't really know

which just brings me back to my point, which is all bitching aside i would have a hard time coming up with a list that wasnt just based on the 6-10 guys i like listening to their live sets or old time djs, sasha, digweed, carl cox, pvd, etc, who i go and see just because i saw them in their prime more than 10 years ago and just associate with a glorious time.

J00F. Definitely J00F.

Not really gonna bother other than saying that Deetron would probably be at the top of the list for me. I don't think anyone can touch him DJ wise (at least as far as house/techno is concerned). Although I haven't seen him live, from what I know, Ben UFO would also be deserving of a very high place on the list. I cannot think of many more DJs that are both really skilled technically, and are also responsible for breaking in so many new artists. He is a taste maker.

It's just so difficult and pointless to rank DJs, which is why I ultimately didn't vote this year (or any year, for that matter).
