I refuse to let any DJ be my number one. If the DJ makes me move and I enjoy that set...then they did a good job. If I am bored with what they spin then they suck balls and should never spin again....they should be shot on the spot so no one should ever hear that crap played again....also.....no DJ should be able to spin a track spun by another DJ in the same night...that is also grounds for being shot....basically....I will decide which DJs live and which die.

My fav DJ is Armin, hands down.

My two favourite live sets that I was in attendance for are Armin at Decadence 1, and Armin at Labour of Love '05.

But a lot of my favourite "recorded" sets that I still listen to now and again are from Oakenfold's EM tour from '99.

My top DJ has always been Misstress B, and I don't think that will change...but maybe she'll start spinning DnB and I'll change my mind.

Favorite set Ive heard in person: a tie between a 3 hr 3 deck techno set in a tiny and sweaty club in Grand Bend - Summer of 02 - maybe 200 people were there to witness that! and the other set is her 8+hr birthday set at Aria Nov 2002...2002 was a good year.

Very good choice. That is also my favourite recorded Lawler set. It is almost identical to his set at System's birthday in March 2004, where I had my first "E"xperience. I couldn't have asked for a better night.

My favorite DJ I'm sure you can guess is Ferry Corsten. I find it hard to pick my favorite set of his though b/c since he is my favorite I like so much of his stuff. There are a lot of sets I have of his that are just phenomenal. Ferry Corsten is also diverse in his style of music. The kind of stuff he plays now is quite different from sets he spun 5 years ago, which makes them hard to compare for "best set" IMO.

Erick Morillo - fav set .... everytime i have see him live just gets better everytime !

BTW, besides _EUG_'s excellent ability to make threads on topics that have been beaten to death already, I want to mention that there is a large placebo effect when it comes to sets from your favourite DJ. If you like (love) the DJ already, you are strongly biased to enjoy his/her set more than if you didn't like him/her as much.

James Zabiela, and I think my fav set of his that i have heard is a toss up between his 2004 essential mix or disc one of the first "Four" promo he did.

Obvious?

If I don't like the DJ then chances are I also won't enjoy his set. If I do like the DJ...then obviously I'm going to enjoy the set.

That's a class mix. "Zero" is great too.

And I don't have ONE favourite DJ, but from the ones that I do like the most, these are my favourite sets by them:
John Digweed - Beirut, Lebanon
Danny Howells Final Set@Arc, part 1
Desyn Masiello - Essential Mix 2004
Sasha - Essential Mix 2000

lol...I'm definitely not feeling Lawler's new style too much, and I don't like every single one of his late 2003-mid 2005 sets. well, 24 out of 25, but still

Isn't a goodness of a set determined by the music, not by your prejudice for or agaisnt the DJ?

Yes. That's what I mean. Unless YOU ARE determining who you like and dislike by prejudce...then you're more likely to like a set by a DJ that you already like, because you had to initially listen to something by them to like them.

I was loving his new "electro-house" sound at the beginning, but it got old really fast. His 1999-2002 sound was my favourite. It'll never get old.
