-- *chuckle.. #6 DJ in the world is Ferry Corsten
*chuckle.. #6 DJ in the world is Ferry Corsten
Guffaw...
Was the worst thing about CREAM... chased most of the 12,000+ crowd in the stands..
Puts those polls into a whole new perspective...
BTW, I like a lot of his productions, just his skills on the decks leave a lot to be desired..
The results are in for the DJ Mag Poll already??
Rob,
Ahhh man, why did you post this!? Look, I know his reception at Cream from the audience wasn't the greatest but in retrospect, do you think they really should have put him on the bill considering everyone else there was prog / house?
You can't blame him totally, he did play a harder than normal set? Believe me, if he broke out "Ligaya" or "Out of the Blue" (even though they are FANTASTIC productions), it would have been fuel to fire (or flaming in this case 
)
Give him credit however, his mixing and skills behind the decks has gotten a lot better over the years. His earlier stuff was "choppy" but now his sets are better.
On the other hand, his sets may sound better because all he is doing now is playing his own productions so they mesh together quite nicely?
But cut Ferry a bit of slack, I'm sure in TO he fit in much better with Nu-NRG and the crowd in general, it's not totally his fault he didn't have a great set? He definetly was a lot darker and harder than normal 
ok usa.
what chinaman said is true, montreal was more prog/house and kool haus was more trance/techno therefore dont blame the dude.
he played an amazing set in toronto and im sure he did the same in montreal
That compilation of dj's is strictly a popularity contest. I mean, it doesnt take a rocket scientest to figure that out, especially when youve got Tiesto "the god" 
topping the list.
<<<-----
Steps aside, says nothing and watches the puppets dance
hello, the results havent even been released yet. Rob where are you getting this #6?
Ferry Corsten is my favourite. I voted him for #1 in DJMag's poll.

What are u ppl talking about ???? Ferry is amazing! If they get him to play at a house-prog party of course the crowd responce won't be that good, but every show I've seen from him starting in 2003 - he was tearing the place apart.

Yeah Aaron, my post was more of a shot @ the fact the #6 was being used to promote him.. much like the #22 was being used in another DJ event thread.
I've seen Ferry a bunch, and he's a good DJ, and a great producer... but this whole ranking thing is a little pathetic IMO.

the dj list is not about who is the best technical DJ, it's about who the masses like, so ultimately no one should be surprised if a DJ that has sub par skills is high on the list. The majority of the ppl voting for that are not considering how well a DJ can program or mix (or necessarily even recognize it), they are looking at who plays fun music, who has been marketted well, who is recognizable.
ferry is mediocre at mixing, but has some great and fun productions. as soon as i heard 'rock your body' i thought 'wowza, this is great- edm that is so accessable you could play this at a hockey game or in a comercial- ultimately, that good for the scene' IMO he has contributed a lot to the scene for someone who hasn't been around for too too long as a DJ.
He usually has the crowd excited at his gig in TO, altho he is not always on. 2 years ago at the guv 6 year he was quite flat and the crowd was not feeling it, but most other nights i've seen him he has played fun sets.
