-- Who are the cockiest DJs

Posted by hack_t_planet on Jan-12-2001 00:35:

Some DJs are really cocky when they do live sets, or at least whoever's MCing (I doubt it's always the DJ) is talking about how they're the greatest DJ ever throughout the mix. Just listening to Darude live at MegaMusicDanceExperience and it's a decent example.

Which DJs have the most talking going on during their sets? I'm not saying that this is a bad thing, it's just some amusement in the mix.

Ok so this isn't quite related, but something I have noticed thats strange and somewhat disconcerting is Hyperstate specific. What is it with those crazy Norwegians and saying the name of whichever DJ playing like they are posessed. there really isnt anything more diturbing that hearing some moron say tiesto or binary finary two times too many like that. freaky actually. peace.

About that Hyperstate thingy... If you have heard the livemixes ripped from radio, it's the radiochannel that adds those irritating voices, at least in 2000 when I visited.... I heard a clip from '99 though, and there was some guy screaming Tiesto all the time, which got annoying after a while... I can't understand how it helps the crowd hearing the Djs name 1 million times, in addition to reading it on a big screen and seeing him...

ok...yeah I wasn't sure about that. I first noticed something like this in Tiesto Live at Trance Energy. His shit was just going off the hook - right in the beginning - and then the radio station busts in with 'Dance Deptartment'. It so ruined the atmosphere. The worst part is that it was very American, or at least a non-American guy trying to sound American that it embarassed me a little too. hehe. peez...

fucking annoying

Ok this has kinda left the subject, but what really pisses me off, is the annoying "oooooaa oooooaa!" ooooooaaa oooooaaa!! from the crowd.
I dont know if you understand what i am talking about hear the noise is kinda hard to put into words.

DAPplayer : I know exactly what you mean... If I hear that... I'm starting to get postal

But the worst shit, is livesets where there isnt anyone saying the name off the dj, but when it goes to a commercial, I can't stand that

Concerning the Hyperstate sets:

All the voices in all the sets, either Tiesto at Hyperstate 1999 or Ferry Corsten at Hyperstate 2000, were added by the radio...
Offcourse there is no voice at Hyperstate itself screaming out 'Tiiesstoo Tiesstoooo..' thats stupid! hehe

I think the radio adds it on there so people won't get a perfect recording from it...
At least nothing they can distribute and make money on...

Carl Cox and Paul Van dyk = Cockiest...Teisto too..Gouryella Gouryella

Posted by biznology on Jan-15-2001 22:38:

OAKIE

Oakenfold think he's a GOD....playin at venues..like he's giving a concert charging $45 and he gets $23 G's for a 2 hr set!

Posted by DJ Guangzhou on Jan-16-2001 05:35:

Actually Oakenfold is a very humble person. Promoters charge ticket prices, not DJs. They end up raking in exorbinant profits. Carl Cox is supposed to be the nicest man in electronic music so I guess that rules him out. And Paul van Dyk has only been vocal when it comes to drugs (anti) and when people ruin his NYE mix. Both are very uncocklike attributes. My vote for cockiest DJ would go to Brandon Block. Apparently he is a heavy drug user and has been known to spin under the influence. I am aware that this is not uncommon, but it seems a bit disrespectful to the audience.

Oh yeah, why is Tiesto cocky?

Being paid well is one thing, but cocky is another. Although I've sadly never been to a Tiesto event, I have seen some live footage of him and read interviews of his http://www.trance.nu/v2/int_tiesto_1.php3 and he seems like one of the most humble, down to earth DJ's around.

However if you read the Johan Gielen interview from the same site he sounds downright cocky.

=============================
1st of all Tiesto is 1/2 of Gouryella...Ferry Corsten being da other 1/2. PVD is far from cocky, he's very modest. He doesn't even like being photographed & doesn't consider himself a superstar or GOD like Oakie does! All oakie cares bout is the $$$. PVD is passionate bout makin muzik!

Posted by defeated on Jan-17-2001 06:35:

dave clarke is pretty bad. and he really can't mix that well. he tries to justify terrible ping pong mixes by mixing very fast. the other thing is that if you can't mix two records going 145-150 bpm, your sorry. bad boy bill sux too. i hate him. his "live" in London cd is a joke. with all it's "this is bad boy bill banging it live, in london" quotes. he's stupid. plus the cd was made in a studio in germany!!! it even says on the back of a cd. i don't know if i should consider that cocky or just plain idiotic.
