i dont understand why you post here teknoskaper, every post you make is something bashing trance? why not just stick to some more house/tech based sites?

I guess you'll only like Zabiela if you do like the techy-breaky vibe he's got going, but so long as you can even vaguely appreciate it then you should find it pretty danceable. Like lethal, I couldn't leave the dance floor when he was last here on account of the rumbling, bouncing basslines he kept on throwing down. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea because, yeah, a lot of the stuff he plays borders on druggy, minimal tech-house (Lee Burridge I love you ) but if you know how to "appreciate" that sort of music then you'll find that Zabiela is easily one of the best DJs in the world.

If you'd asked me 12-18 months ago then Sasha may have won on track selection, but a 2003 full of mid-road prog anthems kinda changed my perspective on that. When you've got access to the world's best, new tracks, you've got to do better than dropping Hazy Way, Hoochie Koochie and Cowpander every week.

is trance loving necessarily associated with wild compilation owning? lol

havnt read the replies, but ppl have probably already mentioned such points

sasha moulded the scene.
zabiela is stil relatively the new kid on the block.
sasha plays prog house with melodic tip to prog trance
from sets i've heard zabiela plays, progressy, breaky, techy, housey, bassliney stuff with lots of quirky and bleepy noises.
sasha = great tracklisting/tight mixing
zabiela = turntabilsm technique + effects!

tastes play a great factor but i cant decide.

ask the same question 5 years time when zabiela has matured more and made a greater mark on the scene.

sasha

zabiela's set in sydney was like 500 djs masturbating over the decks
sasha in Canberra was a 1000 people going nuts a dancing like animals!

agree with juggs on this one! Sasha is still the man... he knows the crowd and more importantly knows how a 'drugged' up crowd operates where as zabiela doesn't.

Sasha bores me to tears........and, he's an arrogant tool to boot (not that that makes a difference to dj skills tho).....Zabiela is just amazing to watch....the music he plays doesn't do that much for me - but he's somebody I admire for technical skills and his ability to just make me stand there open-mouthed for hours....plus, he's so modest about his talents, as opposed to Mr God Complex Sasha......so, Zabiela gets my vote

why does that make sasha a better dj tho?? for all we know, zabiela may not wanna attract a bunch of gurners - so why should he be concerned about learning how they operate??

and of course sasha knows how a drugged up crowd operates....anybody who was at the infamous sasha after-party in canberra knows why....hehehehe if zabiela doesn't wanna go down that path, more power to him i say!!!

Sasha of course, just because he made Xpander <333

Dj wise, i've seen Sasha a while ago when he was down here.. blew me away, when he came i didn't really like prog much so i dunno why i went to see him but it was well worth it.

Though Zabiela seems wicked too i guess... i dunno.

Zabiela, Sasha is oldddd. he plays the same shit over and over.

FFS hes still playin Breezer, Beauty Never Fades and At The End (Scumfrog Remix) every bloody set just about. I mean its this cruddy prog/trance that was good at the time but just doesnt hold the test of time.

Zabiela is where its at now!

But Sasha in the day (Anyone remember his set at Homelands 99?? That was brilliant!) was da bomb

My vote for Zabiela . . . . and its all locked up at 10 votes each!
