L-Vee. Under all of his guises this year he hasn't failed in one production. As a DJ I haven't seen him much this year but I have been impressed with what I've seen. (Although very close behind it has to be M.I.K.E )

i think Hiver & Hammer have had an incredible year. as far as djs go, i think johan gielen would take the top for me.

Sasha has had an excellent year as far as djing goes.

I agree with Sasha and Holden (plus many more). Funny, a few months ago people were saying this was going to be another average/boring year for trance but I think it's turned out pretty damn good thanks to guys like them.

it has been a boring year for trance, yet Holden & Sasha have made things more interesting for progressive house

I must agree on progressive definitely getting a lift this year from them, they got me interested in it and now I love it!
(To avoid flames I'll admit I'm also a trance fan and always will be )

ARMIN for dj sets
FLUTLICHT for producing

Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on Dec-05-2002 05:40:

DJ of the Year: Armin van Buuren

Producer of the Year: James Holden ("Nothing" and the Ogenki Clinic remix of "Digital Reason"...mmm, both in my top 5 for the year)

James Holden, Gabriel+Dresden, Push

NOT John Creamer and Stephane K... IMO they are super super overrated. Fuck Sonnet is such a poorly produced piece of trash.. most of their songs are repetitive and aimless

Posted by ManWithNoName on Dec-05-2002 10:21:

Katana, G&D, Nu Nrg, Oliver Lieb, Filterheadz.........

Posted by djkeenetik on Dec-05-2002 16:03:

I think Above and Beyond have done some nice tracks and remixes and so have Airbase (sick remixes) havent seen them or hear them dj???
but u cant go past Armin this year with DJing and producing

Posted by MisterOpus1 on Dec-05-2002 16:21:

For the 2 sides of music I hold dear:

1. Prog.- Harry Lemon (Lemon 8). Great producing and remixing this year. I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet. Also have to throw Filterheadz in there. Sasha and Digweed as far as DJing goes.

2. Trance - PVD has had a couple of the best sets this year that I've ever heard. His Rosenmontag Rave is still in my top 3. He's remixed some incredible pieces, though he doesn't release them (bastard!).

Evry 2 weeks or so this topic comes up, and every time Armin wins....
so once again I will so best Dj/Prod is Armin

Posted by T_2199 on Dec-05-2002 19:52:

Best Dj: Armin and Dj Dawn
Best Producer: Hiver & Hammer

Flutlicht & S.H.O.K.K get my vote for producing....consistently brilliant...

Also credit to Armin for establishing himself as a maestro, M.I.K.E for consistent genius and Ferry (Ferry just because of Punk and Pocket Damage which I loved).
