Most disappointing live DJ that you thought would of killed it...

I know that we all have been to shows in which there was a DJ playing who you thought would kill it that ended up highly disappointing you. I have a couple, one of my least favorite being Sander Kleneinberg. I've seen him 3 times and was very disappointed each time, with the worst being Ultra 2008. His productions and mixes are quite good in my opinion and was very surprised by how bad his live sets were. Now I'm asking all of you, who was some of your least favorite live DJ sets by people you thought would of done way better?

hmm

Pier Bucci (from what I remember)

and back when I was pretty much done with trance in 2006 I went to see pvd thinking he might be good like he was when I saw him in 2005 and he wound up abletoning the vocal of As the Rush Comes over like, three tracks.

Sasha sucked back in 2005. Utter shit vibe. Steve Porter killed it that night though when he opened for him.

saw him this year and he played three different versions of for an angel.

For Hawaii to get anyone out here EDM wise is an accomplishment but when i saw 4 Strings he played a good set but I heard "Into the Night" played 3 times over the course of his 2 hour set.

Am I allowed to say Kevin Saunderson? Just found him kind of disappointing at DEMF, given the expectations and all.

yeah post whatever you want...

Danny Tenaglia on multiple occasions, hopefully 3rd time's a charm this Saturday...

Oh and Omar-S, I'll give him a 2nd shot but holy crap he was a wretched dj.

DJ Bas.

pretty much all of them

when you are a music geek and have basic dj skills they all lose a bit of oomph because the whole time that you are there you tell yourself what tracks would make you go "hmmm" and they don't play.

i really hate djs, maybe im just like your father too old.

S.O.S were horrible here last year. No set structure, just banging tune after banging tune, got bored about 1.5 hours in.

Voorn @ balance launch party earlier was pretty average too, shame cos when he was here last time he was KILLER. fanciulli before him wasn't much better, again...last year he was good. both were on laptops rather than CDJ's like they were the year before...coincidence?

armin delivered a poor set @ melbourne armin only last year, but he's delivered 2 unreal sets as well, so i can handle that \

eric prydz not getting on the plane and coming to australia pretty much wins though haha.

the dude's afraid of flying, right?

Peter Van Hoesen

Carl craig when he played in glasgow, redeemed himself at Space when I seen him tho..

Derrik may is another who done the same, rubbish in glasgow, brilliant in ibiza. Seem to roll out all the old classics when they play in my home town, which isn't really what I want to hear.

correct, but when he booked a tour in australia and confirmed, done all the promo interviews etc etc then pulls out about 2 days before his first gig...

it's pretty disappointing

I wasn't there because DEMF is about 6000 miles away from me but I've seen both of them live. Loco Dice, whom I've seen at an afterparty in London (which started at 11 am lol), plays really smooth stuff. I really enjoyed his set whereas Luciano plays exclusively ultra repetitive tribal techno bullshit. Now he was dissapointing.

The thought of seeing the two mixing back to back could be appealing but from what i've seen, the two have totally opposites styles that don't go together. Though I bet Luciano was the one bringing the set a notch down.

David Morales

Dave Seaman was a disappointment a couple of years ago.

We rolled up in there always hearing good things about him, but he just didn't deliver. don't know if it was an off night or he was past his prime or what, but needless to say i probably wouldn't see him again...

2006 I went to Pacha Ibiza to Yoshitoshi @ Ibiza with Josh Wink, Dubfire. Geesh did they both suck, I wasn't so bored in a club for a loooong time. The only good one was Miss Nine, who did the warmup.

I listened to most of Paul Oakenfold's set at Bonnaroo, it was boring, cheesy, fluffy uplifting trance with massive 3 minute breakdowns and absolutely no substance whatsoever at 3 in the morning. He played Planet Funk - Chase The Sun, tho, so it wasn't a total trainwreck.

Well I was on magic brownies

Severe magic brownies.

But yeah, the music really wasn't that good. It was a lot of that latin techno that seems to be popular which I was tired of by that time and if it wasn't that there was a ton of stupid noises with decent basslines.

Richie Hawtin, last summer. Maybe it had something to do with the sardine-like crowd at Celebs, or maybe it was just my bad back making me cranky. Either way, it was rather dull, and left early.
