Have I been living under a rock? I watched the 2006 World Music Awards on a local station tonight...a ceremony that took place sometime last year obviously...and they voted Bon Sinclair Best DJ, beating out the likes of Oakenfold.

So, I am like who the fvck is this guy?

The even bigger question, is he any good?

hes a french dj who used to be arguably the best house dj in the business practically inventing the genre of "africanism" and making several hits. that was before he sold out in 2006 to the mainstream crowd with absolute rubbish like "rock this party" and "world hold on", ironically he won an award last year though.

if u havent heard of him u obviously just dont know anything about house or u have been living under a rock


so the answer is that he was good but now is shit just like oakenfold

I haven't liked anything Oakenfold has done since "Southern Sun". And yeah, while I call myself a fan, I don't know much about House. What I do know comes through www.di.fm and the "Female Vocal Trance" channel. I really like DJ GT...but he's not House.

Thanks for the info!

Sinclar not Sinclair.

I never even heard of him 'til everyone and her little sister started playing that crap, and I couldn't figure it out. I can't even imagine that he was ever any good. Ugh I kid you not, I even heard somebody play "World Hold On" and some [even worse] remix of Sandstorm in the same set. In my defense, it was on internet radio before somebody good was going on, but it was absolutely horrendous.

lol nah, he used to be very good. he played alot of latin and balaeric house and he pioneered the "africanism" movement basically (which is practically the same thing). it was all really great "real" house, i dunno how the fuck it changed so quickly. his album last year was the equivalent of just be but much worse

Hehe, I have his Africanism All-Stars Vol. 1 or whatever, and yeah, I kinda like World Hold On.



Well, at least the Axwell Mix.

Does he have any memorable sets or mix comps? I know of his recent productions, but not of his apparent honorable past as a house dj.
