Why?

I'd say Richie Hawtin, among techno DJs. DE9.

whoever said jeff mills needs a brain scan.

yes he does have two tracks runnign at the same time with a 909/303/VJ but it aint no use if it sounds worse than two planes colliding in mid air. but thats my opinion.

Danny Tenaglia, Digweed, Sasha

They do regular in-and-out mixing... although very good, what's so technical about that?

you said it yourself very good. never sloppy always perfect.

Well yeah, I'll agree with that, but there are so many possibilities. I think Digweed should be moving forward.

Originally posted by Tranc3 Agreed. Again, agreed. Yet again, I agree completely. According to what I've read here by Ishkur, and what I've read about Ishkur, those of you who talk crap about him obviously don't know what you're talking about.

You should take the thing you have for Ishkur to pm...

I'll go with richie hawtin, streets ahead of all other dance music dj's in the technical department.

Originally posted by Psiweaver xpress 2 is pretty impressive utlising up to 5 tables at once. I think the best technical dj is either Zabiela or Sasha there are few people in the world who can hot remix songs like sasha can while still mixing and spinning and dj set simply very impressive.

people forget that mk2's have stored cue points . And the fact that sasha does not even beatmatch anymore should say something.

Originally posted by torontotrance I never compared different styles, I just named 3 deejays off the top of my head who were very good technically, meaning they don't tend to trainwreck, they tend to beatmatch, very very well...and so on and so on. Heck you could throw in Jeff Mills in any list for his crazy 3 deck wizardry, you could throw in James Zabiela, + Kid Koala, Craze, Mixmaster Mike, Q-Bert and a ton of others, hell with the styles really, the guy asked what deejays are technically the best, he never mentioned what styles and does'nt music transcend styles?

honestly 10 decks don't amaze me, its the person that can rip with 2, he is most likely the best.

But there are to many different styles. I find it hard to compair people that use Turntables, and then djs that use cdjs, let alone talking about computers and such. Then there are also different things that you can do with certin genre's that you can not do with others.

Its like people need to be insured that this dj or that dj has to be the best in order to see them.

People here rat on Tiestos mixing all the time, but bottom line, I don't think ive ever had a bad night out weather his mixing was on or off.

But what about dave clarke? He started off as a hip hop dj and is now considered as one of the best techno dj's, not in the least because of his technical skills. Nobody mentioned him yet. Does anybody know more about his skills? Is he indeed that good?

And again, what makes a dj's an accomplished dj when it comes to skills, what skills are required? I find seamingly mixing not the only criteria anymore, sure there must be more to it than only mixing.
