Not in here they don't.
Look how much praise Armin gets for playing new bland generic trance tracks in between old bland generic trance tracks in his ASOT show.

DJ Shadow. Probably the most skilled DJ I've ever heard. He mixes breaks/hip-hop/funk/oldies. Weird combination, but he makes it work SO DAMN WELL. Get his 2003 Essential Mix / Diminishing Returns(DR is the release name for it) and you will see. He is a god of sampling. It's incredible.

DJ Q-Bert is also very skilled, but I haven't heard any of his sets. Just little bits and pieces.

Zabiela could use more recognition, but people are starting to hear of him, and I think that fairly soon he will be a big name. With good reason. That boy knows his shit.

tiesto is underrated, I think he deserves more respect

How can the worlds number 1 DJ be under-rated?

Crystal Method - anyone who can drop AC/DC tracks in the middle of a techno set and keep the crowd going gets my respect

Darude - I dont care if you think he makes cheese, he is an awesome DJ and really gets the crowd going, and he plays alot of quality tunes in his sets

and CL of course, he is a fucking amazing.

darude? sorry "holmes" but darude is the reason people think trance all sounds the same, that sandstorm crap was so overplayed i thought i was gonna hear it forever.

Actually, I've never heard any of Darude's live stuff? Any suggestions?

I gotta agree with Cristopher Lawrence too - Hook Recordings is a masterpiece. Havent seen him live yet unfortunately

Jon O' Bir is also underrated (although not on these boards)

Okay, good, I don't feel so alone on this issue then.

Just out of curiosity, Mr.Mystery, but who are your favorite DJs?

I don't really have any favourites. I mostly favour our local DJ's like Orkidea and Tab...

chris lawrence is an excellent dj, but his style is too un-european for my taste and he bores me.

100% agreed. and i have the same opinion of Ferry too despite his occasional unimaginative blend of electro-influenced trance.

i definitely think Tiesto is underrated on this forum, but that's just me
