Who are your 2 or 3 favorite DJ's from the 1990's and why?
Who've been (or still are, if you reckon they're just as good, or even better now) your 2 or 3 personal favorite DJ � remixers from the 1990's and please say why, for anyone named ?
Paul Van Dyk - Words and For An Angel are two tunes that mean a lot to me along with so many others. I have saw him live over many years and have rarely been left dissappointed.
Matt Darey - In the late nineties in terms of remixs, matt was immense. My favourite being, Westbam Vs Red Jerry - Wizards of the Sonic 98. One of my top 3 tunes of all time. Oakie at Creamfields 98, playing this mix............
Ferry Corsten - System F, Moonman and his collaborations, Vimana (all be it 1 tune) Veracocha - Carte Blanche and well it would have to be Gouryella. The man is a Legend.
I know it was two or three but my top favourite:
Push - Dont need to explain, for me, the most consistent trance producer in the last 10 years. Genre defining tunage and for me now, he is better than ever with his Solar Factor and M.I.K.E. productions, tunes i cant get enough of. M.I.K.E, unreal, god like for me. Pure and utter genius.
Paul Oakenfold, because he was one of the biggest names to push progressive trance and house music in the mid and late 90s. Some of the best essential mixes, and I love his mixed CDs. He really got me into trance DJ mixes, because before him I was mostly just into productions from BT, PvD and a few others.
Sasha and Digweed. Both guys were also big pushers of progressive trance and house in the mid and late 90s as well. I like their Northern Exposure CDs, and how they weaved in trance-ambient music into progressive trance and created a journey of sorts. They were also great on their own, combining progressive trance, progressive house and some funkier stuff as well.
agree with one of the above posters on pvd and ferry corsten. although ferry has disappointed me in recent times both live and in the studio. last time i saw him i swore never to go back as he played rock your body rock along with all that other shit he puts out. i thought i was at top of the pops for 2 hours.
pvd has always been immense in the djing front. never let me down with his sets. full on trancers.
agnelli and nelson would be third choice. after the release of el nino i fell in love with their sound and their sets were very good back then. i have a tape of robbie nelson before he even met chris agnelli and it was superb.
nope not marco or johan.
lange and dj quicksilver. now they are the dance scene movement. dj quicksilver for his early dance tracks like planet love and belissima, lange for his efforts on protect your mind and nomandsland, anthems now 
oh and blank & jones, they suck now but in the late 90s they knocked out a few memorable toons.
oakenfold, david morales, junior vasquez

| Originally posted by dj_kane dj quicksilver lol that was pure cheese. lange i agree with but you picked the 2 cheesiest tracks he made. no where near a trance anthem. maybe a clublands anthem. |
no chance. epic trance gets me hooked. it was cheese that turned me away from trance to house for a year. now that cheese is has been making steps in the house scene i finally got back to my roots.
cheese ruins music not embraces it!
Quicksilver is pure bollox, the start of the DJ Sammy era.... Lange came of age from 2000 on for me.

Old man Weathers for his very agreeable and varied style a la his 93' EM.
Billy Nasty, quality techno and trance in his early 90s EMs.
CJ Bolland, a techno legend.
Roland Casper, quality acid/techno/trance in abundance.
Luke Slater, especially back in 91' and before, when he used to spin some top breakbeat/hardcore/big beat stuff (not the hardcore you may be imagining) and quality oldschool techno (e.g. Outlander - Vamp).
Seal Phuric, Adam X, and D-Jack for lots and lots of quality acid.
That was some more than 2 or 3, though.
Oakenfold, for sure. used to be a big fan of his livesets. Like the Essential World Tour...nice.
Jeff Mills - My favourite techno DJ from back then
DJ Promo - My favourite hardcore DJ from back then
Hmm, that would have to be:
Paul Van Dyk - Best trance DJ during the 90s. Amazing track selection which never failed to rock my socks (nowadays...eeeh not so much)
Sven V�th - His Harthouse days and lovely 10 hours sets on Sunday after LoveParade at Tresor was amazing.
would have to be ferry corsten for all his productions and callobrations.
and paul oakenfold has always been a legend imo
breeder for their productions
oakenfold for breaking trance and making it h00j
jeff mills for being the total opposite to oakenfold
oliver lieb for making shit that really touches you
digweed for being digweed
DJ: Oakie was at his best then and no one else compared
Producer: I will always love Chicane and i wish Nick would get off his ass and produce stuff like he did then.
Yes, my vote goes for Paul Oakenfold as well, he was really amazing back then!Sasha was great as well.
Paul van Dyk
Paul Oakenfold
Matt Darey
Sash! (j/k)

P.V.D- what can you say...brilliant
Ferry- Thank you for the endless hours of good listening
Dave Seaman- Renaissance worldwide-London, still one of the most timeless dance albums i own...
LTJ Bukem - Played the best jungle/drum & bass ever made (imo) back then.
Jeff Mills - By far the best techno dj. 'Live at the Liquid Room' is just awesome!
Danny Tenaglia - Got hooked after hearing 'Mix This Pussy 2: Can your Pussy do the Dog' he did for Tribal UK.
