Most Underrated DJ?

Name the most underrated dj in the genres that you listen to and explain how they are so underrated if you can

For trance I think its Galen Behr simply because of his Tears of Rain radioshow. It has a nice flow and has a nice variety and lots of good tunes in it. His productions are remixes are also great like:

Galen Behr vs. Hydroid - Carabella (Galen Behr vs. Orjan Nilsen Remix)( One of the best tracks i've heard in 2006)

Ava Mea - In The End (hydroid feat. santiago nino dub fire mix)

and his new one, Galen Behr feat. Elle - Weak is decent, but its needs a remix and it'll be stunning!

Hydroid! honestly this guy is mega talented, and there is hardly any airplay by him

Tommie Sunshine

TC

He isn't underrated really, but I wish he would have more gigs over here. He has so much potential. I am sure that he would convert the whole city with just one set.

Isn't TC coming to Freedom?

I swear I read that somewhere...

OH shut up with your TC sometimes. Buddy released 6 songs in 2006, and he's getting enough recognition for them. He's not underrated by a long shot.

As far as my answer, I don't really know. I just looked through my collection, and all of those artists are worth as much as their hype.

Ahueyet?! You are one to talk, you ignorant asshole. I am not the one who has had a TC quote as their MSN personal message for about three days now.

And besides, you obviously didn't (or couldn't) read my actual post.

See? there was really not even a reason for you to say anything about my post. Opezdol.

Yeah, I just read that. I am not going to get excited until I know for sure, because TC apparently has a lot of gigs to finish before he comes to Toronto to make up for his missed gig at the end of December.

international DJ underrated in Toronto?

Hmmm...

Audiofly - insanity.

Dj Sender -- #1 dj from Ukraine, solid productions

Martin H - huge productions

Trentemoller - the guy is absolute genius, no one knows who he is in North America

Rene Amesz - Huge productions, support by all the big dj's still not very much known

16 Bit Lolitas - i still don't understand why they haven't been booked yet

there are so many.....

Do differentiate between DJing and producing... A good DJ is not necessarily a good producer or vice versa!

I know I bitch about trance a lot, but these are few names that deserve some recognition production wise, IMO.

-Jesselyn: Hailing from Holland, not only she's hot, but she's got her own style that she can truly call her own. That deep rolling hard banging bassline... Awesome stuff. Check out Cyrus, Distance and Fauna (co produced with Marcel Woods)

-Luke Terry: if you fancy that hands in the air trance, UK producer (and a fellow TA) Luke Terry is one of those up and comers. Though he can produce uplifting and harder trance too. Check out Elude - Purgatory (Luke Terry's 2006 mix), Activa & Force One - Reflection (Luke Terry's Torn Apart mix) and Matti Kotala - Aedena (Luke Terry remix) which is available somewhere in the DJ production forum

-Super8: also part of Aalt0 w/ Paavo from A+B, this Finn's productions def. do not suck. If you don't believe me, check out Alba, Aalto - Resolution, Mirco de Govia - Voller Sterne (Super8 remix)

-Greg Murray: though haven't been active in recent years (that I've noticed) some of his works incl. Corderoy - Sweetest Dreams (Greg Murray remix), Arizona & Greg Murray - Daylight, Octagen - Curium (Greg Murray remix) and Pulp Victim - The World (Greg Murray remix)

-Danny Oliveira: up and coming Brazilian DJ and producer Danny Oliveira is starting to make waves in the trance scene, already pretty popular in his homeland of Brazil, but also starting to make way in to the Europe scene. His style of harder, more techier trance laced with the tribal/samba sound of Brazil is def. unique. With various remixes of Drop It, Your Love getting support from many of top trance DJs, he also produced a wicked breaks remix of Marco V - False Light. Check out also Gone Fishin (one helluva fun track) and The Will to Continue.

-Anne Savage: I gotta give more props to hard trance because it's such a dying genre. Well, Anne Savage is kinda hit and miss with productions, but stuff like Modularis (Phunked mix) DJ Boozy Woozy - Party Affair (BK & Anne Savage remix), Anne Savage, Vinylgroover, Red Hed - Pay Attention (Jumping mix) are worth a listen

-Haak: Norwegian producer who probably does not appeal to most trancers. His dark, more acid trance is good stuff, if you're into that sub genre. Well, Armin thought his production of Frenzy was worth a play few times. Also check out Bass Shuttle and Bedlam.

-Mike Shiver: Swedish producer who's stuff can be a bit cheesy, but still give you that euphoric hands in the air feeling. Morning Drive, Feelings (instrumental dub) and Sonicvibe & Mike Shiver - Lunation are all good tunes.

-Slusnik Luna: though not as prolific as many other producers, Finnish duo Slusnik Luna (note a pattern here?) is known more for their remixes such as Modulation - Spirits (Slusnik Luna remix) and Matti Laamanen - Flakes (Slusnik Luna remix)

-Matti Laamanen: yep. I told you that there's a patten here. Another Finnish producer, he's done good work as matti Laamanen or other aliases such as Sundawner and Cosmicman. Be sure to check out Sundawner - Krystal Dreams, Modulation - Spirits (Cosmicman remix) and Maati Laamanen - Flakes (Ferry Corsten remix)

-Mystery Islands: yet another Finnish trancer though pretty obscure. Fack. I do love hands in the air trance! His best works so far is Arizona & Greg Murray - Daylight (Mystery Islands remix) and Mystery Islands - Solace (Ronski Speed remix). Just thought he deserved a mention

-Orkidea: yet another Finnish producer... Wow. That country does not suck when it comes to trance. From classic such as Unity to more recent work Beautiful and Way Out West - Killa (Orkidea remix), he is pure quality

-Safri Duo: though seems defunct (their site hasn't been updated since 05), Danish duo Safri Duo has an unique sound of tribal... electronica I suppose. From anything from house to trance, their recognizable use of bongos just drives you on the dancefloor, or just drives you nuts. Check out Played Alive (Airscape remix), Samb Adagio for trance sound.

-Simon Patterson: UK producer Simon Patterson so far hasn't made anything bad... yet. From tunes like F16 (my tune of the yr for 06) to Without You (as part of Dogzilla), I expect a lot of good stuff from him this year.

-Vadim Zhukov: though he's kinda disappeared, he's one of the leading producers from Russia. He has a lot of good tunes under his belt such as Exit, Nothing Matters, Double V - Moscow Morning (Vadim Zhukov remix)

This thread is a nice companion to the recent 'most overrated dj' thread.

Dj bas

Well i gotta say Matthew Dekay as he is one of my top, top DJs.

Spins true progressive sets, from prog-house, to prog-trance, deep, darker, and even tribal at times.
Such variety and diversity, but ALWAYS bangin...

Dekay is truly an example of a DJ which is COMPLETELY different when at home compared to blasting at a club

Will also add Jody Wisternoff as someone mentioned earlier.
Melodic-progressive just as I like it, and also very diverse in his mixes.

Orkidea
Greg Benz

And I still think Andy Moor is under-rated. A lot of people have no idea how musically inclined he really is, not just as a producer but as a DJ as well.
