Biggy, true I completely forgot about Mateo Murphy... I have to say though that Tiga is huge in countries like Germany where his blend of electro is HUGE!!! It is extremely hard to determine the top DJ in Montreal because many of the criteria are highly subjective: track selection (subjective!), set building (subjective!), technical skills (he might not be the best, but he is pretty high up there), track editing skills (he is, IMO, pretty strong there! again, maybe not the best, but pretty strong!) and track producing (hasn't done much on this front yet!).
Technofreak, as far as XL is concerned, I think you people are making one big mistake about it; @ Celebration, a lot of people (defintly, people in the area where I was dancing) loved him and you defintly didn't need drugs to dance to his music.. Again, it all depends on your style.. I LOVE the Steve Lawler, Satoshi Tomiie, Sander Kleinenberg's of the world; you prefer the Carl Cox, Miss B, CHristian Smith's of the world. There is nothing wrong with either one. It is just a question of taste..
So, just learn to respect other people's tastes since there is enough room in the electronica scene for many styles.
I think that the fact that XL got choosen by Diggers to play on his radio show means a lot and just gives an idea of how good XL is. He might not be playing the style of music that you prefer but he is still great!!!!
