Who do you think gets too much props as a DJ? Leave the producer side out, cuz even if they suck @ spinning, their production skills might justify their worthiness...
IMO, Ferry Corsten. I know there's alot of FC fans on this forum, but I'm sorry, his sets sound all the same...saccharine, huge sounding anthem after anthem...while his mixing is adequate, his track selection blows.
Just my .02

Dj Scot Project....he gets alot of hype around here...mayb its jsut cuz i dont like harder trance but i dont like him much and Blank & Jones and Cosmic Gate too...i think they are amazing producer's but their mixing and set r so similar and the mixing is bad

Dj Tiesto. His mixing skills are a joke. But his productions are amazing. Reminds me of man with no name. Great producer, but NO mixing skills.

Pete Tong, Seb Fontaine and Judge Jules but the award has to go to Tall Paul

Hands down, Paul van Dyk! Mwah!

Can't put it any better. Tiesto's production talents are great, but his mixing is anything but!

Talla 2XLC has no mixing skills either!

dumonde used to be wank DJs, then all of a sudden, they went fucking mint! over the space of 3 months, theyre absiloute quality djs now and have much betetr set structure and a defined track style.

as for overated djs, everyone knows my opinion on a certain dj, i dont think he's crap, hes just way overated for his skill.

also tiesto has had a few dire sets in his lifetime. but as andy says, tall paul wins hands down!

most over-rated? Well Blank and Jones are pretty much lacking if you ask me. I can pull off better mixes than them (sometimes).
but their not really over-rated to start with.

Probably Paul Van Dyk.. don't really like his sets.

Most under-rated I would say is Johan Gielen!!! he's got some crazy skills

Darude

Darude is NOT a DJ. He doesn't mix records (or anything else for that matter). His sets are LIVE PA.

Sal

Judge Jules is overrated. He should stick to beating the shit out of people when spinnign in clubs. hehe..j/k

Sasha and john digweed, Oakenfold
Whats the big fucking deal... their sets are just plain and boring
