As far as I know almost every top-DJ makes their own music...Tiësto, Oakie, PvD, AvB and so on and so forth...

A lot of crappy DJ's also get gigs at major events only because they have made a bunch of more or less cheesy trance anthems...(No names mentioned *cough* DJ Jean *cough* )

It gives me the feeling that you more or less need to get a few VERY decent tracks released to get out in to the "big leagues"...

Am I right? Who is the most talanted, and most well known non-producing DJ? The only one I can think of is Judge Jules, but I don't know...it is possible that he has produced something that I don't know of..


what do DJ's do at their gigs? they spin records. thats it! it has absolutely nothing to do with producing at all. its about technical skills on the wheels and not their creativity in the producing studio.

i have a lot of respect for DJ's that can write good tunes and plays them in their mixes BUT at the same time, i do not discredit those that don't write such good tunes to put in their gigs.

based on your logic, scott bond would be some crappy DJ that can only write a few tunes that hardly anyone even knows about. however, that is far from the truth. the man has mad skills and i consider scott bond to be one of the top. his skills are definitely right up there with AvB, PvD and i'm sure he is even better than my favorite, tiesto.

You are totally right man , for example sasha xpander is a deadly tune. I just think that some ppl who doesn't know much shouldn't speak.
