Who do you think is the best DJ ever.

well their are plenty dj's that are superbly excellent but i personally think Airwave is the best. What about you

to me is Ferry Corsten

My Favs
Sasha/digweed both own technically and have a awesome track selection.

other good ones.
But Oakenfold has always had the best track selection.
PVD is good but not near the best but has the strongest following without a doubt.
Tiesto = Armin in my books, yet lately armin has been stepping up the notch
Nick Warren = awesome dj without a doubt.

For me L-Vee and Ferry are no where near the top as dj's, maybe as producers, but not dj's.

Digweed is probably the most technically sound dj with long mixes and hardly any flaws.

PVD is the most energetic for me. He plays lots of high energy tracks at high BPM's and makes you wanna move.

Oakenfold has always had a knack for picking a great tracklist and playing stuff that no one else is playing.

Put the best qualities of those three together and I think you'd have the ultimate dj.

sasha and digweed are definately the best. they got such a legacy and history behind them. they'll always be the greatest in my book.

Sasha and Digweed. The rest are far far behind.

I think Paul Oakenfold is the best ever. He has awesome track selection, flawless mixing, and knows his crowd. Very Professional and is very involved in the scene. He was one of the main reasons for making trance popular, especially in 99. He's not my current favorite DJ, but he is the best ever.

Either Sasha & Digweed or Armin. All of them have great track selection, and rarely make mistakes.

Posted by hEaT's on Feb-21-2003 04:56:

for the technique it's sasha I think but for the track selection it's Armin in trance and Westbam in general

no offense to the new djs armin/tiesto and soforth but they have yet to earn as much respect as the older guys, given they are good...they just dont have as much time invested in the scene as some of the older guys.

Lol...his DJing makes me puke. Tiesto is on of the least technically sound DJs in the industry.

Sasha & Digweed...it's a given...whole else can pull obscure tracks out of the middle of nowhere and make you love them

Posted by VaNFeCto on Feb-21-2003 06:33:

Well Digweed is the most technically sound.

PvD is the best Dj as fas as energy wise and emotion, and showmanship.

Oakenfold i hate to admit it isnt that technically sound but his tracklist cannot be beat.

Posted by speedracer_mec on Feb-21-2003 06:39:

best ever?

oakenfold

Posted by johnson3161 on Feb-21-2003 06:42:

I like sasha & digweed. But I like sasha more.

Armin van Buuren

Great track choice and mostly perfect mixing!

Posted by dj kinetica on Feb-21-2003 10:16:

armin and tiesto are the pimpest of pimp at djin ....

Posted by whoelse on Feb-21-2003 10:22:

Sasha is the greatest DJ of all time.

The first superstar DJ and is still right at the top.

Honourable mentions,Paul Oakenfold (You cannot question what he did to the scene), Carl Cox and John Digweed

good for you

anyway, i dunno...i like sasha for his good track-selections and armin for his mixing but, i'm sure there are many better dj's out there...after all it's just beatmatching and fading, someone's got to realize that's too simple now...what dj's need is a kaoss pad and a sampler...

oof, now i'm off the topic again...
