I feel the need for a list to be compiled of djs that are now using software like Ableton to make sets, be it live, or merely radio streamed. Feel free to add if you like, and bash if you think this has been done far too many times.

Armin van Buuren - Ableton for ASOT shows
Paul van Dyk - Ableton for some livesets, don't know about his weekly show on Fritz, but probably
James Zabiela - began using Ableton as heard on the Utilities EP
Richie Hawtin - pwnx0rz with Ableton
Sasha - He's probably the most vocal user of Ableton coupled with his MAVEN controller
Tiesto - uses MS paint to draw pictures of flowers while he puts on a randomized mix of his Just Be compilation.
Mike Foyle - I think he's started using Ableton, though I'm not sure about for live sets or streamed shows
BT - uses Ableton for his "laptop symphonies".

thats a dumb topic.
just write everybody who is a big name now.

only poor djs still use cheap turntables.

Ferry Corsten. He hasn't used Ableton and said he doesn't plan on it any time soon. He is neither poor and he's a "big name dj".

i guess he is acting "old school". but soon he will have to move on.

ADD:

Blank & Jones (seen them use it live)
Gabriel & Dresden (seen pics of them using it)

both use a laptop for lives sets. For G&D i think its Dave dresden that actually uses it. That could be wrong though

But i dont know what software they use.

John Digweed is merely experimenting at this point I believe, and despite my Tiesto joke, he is not using Ableton yet either. I haven't heard anything from Sander Kleinenberg, Marco V, or people of the like.

Saw Ferry and AvB this year. Neither seemed to have a laptop in site around the dj booth.

both g&d , not only dave.
but is ableton the "devil" in this forum now?

trance is dead, tiesto killed it

i dont know why trance djs will move to softwere.
every person educated about the djs business knows that trance is the esiest of all EDM to play on turntables.
you play one tune for 3 or so munute and you put the next one.

John Digweed if you didnt know had a Mix Cd for Fabric and it was full of minimal tech and house.
It was mixed by a softwere.

Ridiculous statement. Everyone knows that buying vinyl is perhaps 100x more expenisive to purchase than downloading mp3's, which are used for other such mixing software. And you can only play vinyl on "cheap Turntables".. which still are well over 1grand for the real deal (Techs).
