Adam Beyer
Is he the best Dj on earth?
I've seen many from the so-called "Top 100" list. From Techno veterans like Cox, Rush, Mills, Garnier and Hawtin to House legends like Felix da Housecat and Danny Rampling to electro-minimal avantgarde (Holden, Christian Vogel, Magda..) and not to mention the Dutch Trance connection. Over the years one Dj more than anyone else has managed to keep amazing me: By re-inventing himself , by sheer solid performances, by an enormous variety of genres and breathtaking technical skills. That person is Adam Beyer. I've just seen him recently for the 4th or 5th time and he surprised once again. Only a 'warmup' for Dave Clarke he completely owned the crowd within half an hour and created mass hysteria towards the end. The way he programms his sets, the eclectic ingredients from mechanic to funky to sophisticated to pure bass-mayhem...Beyer is one of a kind. Please take a listen to his recent set: 27.10.2006, Toronto. Four fantastic hours that take you to all moods and nuances electronic music nowadays can offer!
