Originally posted by Forever Delayed I really haven't gotten out enough this year to make any sort of weighty or informed list, but the one DJ I was mega-disappointed this year was John Digweed. Having been a massive fan of his Transitions radio-shows and mix albums, I was expecting some deep, chunky, mindblowing music. Since I hadn't really bothered listening to any recent livesets of his (apart from the Amnesia Radio 1 set from 2008), I was understandably appalled when, as I was paying in to the venue at 11 pm, I could hear Grindhouse (Dubfire Remix) being fired out already. The whole night was just generic big-room techno/progno, and the only real highlight as such was him dropping Jark Prongo - Moving Through Your System as his last tune. Really really let down by a DJ who, from listening to his shows and mix cds, I thought would be one of the best.

Which mix albums are you referring to? When he released the transitions cds he played a lot of those tracks in his sets, same with Bedrock 10

He could ease back a bit off the harder techno stuff tho i.e. grindhouse and the likes

i'll take the opportunity to just pop this here.

i own this record and don't really like this song at all that much, but it is a lee burridge "go to" track that he always seems to drop and makes it work in ways i haven't figured out yet.

Well being quite a recent convert from cracker-trance to deeper styles of dance music, I was sort of expecting him to play something along the lines of Transitions 4. I wasn't expecting him to bust out any vintage prog or anything, but something in the vain of the aformentioned album. All I got was a night of Dubfire and Paul Ritch.

Good lord... that comment about Durand.

"I am sorry!! Do you think the same that you wrote here also about Tiesto?? if no..then did you ever think of why he offered to support new talents??..where he told also about Richard Durand!!!!!!!! you think Tiesto noticed this artist just for fun?? Tiesto!! who was for three times the DJ number One in the world!! Who knows the best what real music is!!NOWAY!!! He would never do this!! He noticed Richard as a TALENT!!!!!
and the music is a subjective thing!! and I know for sure that the biggest part of party crowd likes Richard's sets and his performances!!!)) and I'm one of them!!!! =P"

jesus...

Anyways:

Paul van Dyk
Richard Durand
David Pearce
Sharam
Armin
Tiesto

All obvious, I know, but still.

i thought sasha was really great a couple years ago in that period when he released a bunch of singles on emfire - his dj sets from that time are good as well. i agree that he's not quite on the same level now, although i did enjoy invol2ver a lot

nothing wrong with it, i just think he should have called it something else as it paled so much in comparison to the original, which was a defining compilation at the time.

i get it though, marketing is important.

Originally posted by Schadenfreude in no particular order djs that never disappoint me. Danny Howells : every time i have been to a Howells night i always get a dose of variety. Not to mention that he plays for 13 hours straight and pulls it off like not many could. Lee Burridge: He has disappointed me once. Other than that i have raved hard to him many times. His music is not hard to get and pretty much in your face, but he knows how to kick a party into gear. Joris Voorn: I'm not a fan of his productions, but he is the guy that uses traktor the best. Unbelievable mixing and energy. Even if he looks like a fag, his piknic electronique set was one of my highlights for this year. Brendan Moeller aka Beat Pharmacy. : blew my mind away at mutek. This guy does the deep well. Dan Bell: A legend who just plays great music, early mnmil from the 90's mixed with stuff from today. A Guy Called Gerald : Another legend for me. He does mostly a live PA now using 2 laptops and reason, but the guy plays anything from rip your face of techno, jungle, house and so on. The guy has forgotten more about dance music than most know. Robert Hood: no need to explain this one. he will rip off your face. Loco Dice: I just love the different kind of stuff he puts together. His background as a hip hop dj shines through and you get a taste of the applied into electronic music that makes for great dancing. Derrick Carter: When i want to go out and get funked to great house music, he usually is the guy that delivers for me. Ricardo Villalobos.: I know what a lot of you will say, but i have seen him multiple times in different countries and he is simply the jesus of dance music. I don't really like his productions, but he will play obscure tracks from the 90's that sound like they were made yesterday within the context of his sets. Next level dj...you never know what you are going to get..(well if it is a big festival he will play one hour of music that the youtube kiddes want to hear, but if you stick around he will blow you away) The guy has a deep bag. edit: Laurent Garnier: he doesn't mix the best, but man his sets have range. He plays everything and is the quintessential party time dj imo.

You're lucky to have so many good acts play in your town. Fuck, all we ever get is Above and Beyond, Tiesto, Gareth Emery, Guru Josh Project, Above and Beyond again, and PvD, Armin, and Eddie Halliwell. Lather, rinse, repeat.

They do book some good acts every now and then, and this year the only ones were Matthias Tanzmann and Satoshi Tomiie. I couldn't make it to Satoshi, but I did go see Tanzmann and he killed it.

it used to be much better, and i don't get out that much anymore compared to before. The montreal scene was really good in the late 90's and early 00's due to the crazy unprofitable bookings of aria nightclub.

They brought everyone that no one else in north america would touch, and unitl they went belly up it was the best afterhours joint on the continent. Stereo (google it) just re opened, and although they have booked mostly shit, i am looking forward to audiofly (yuck), clive henry, sis (yeessssss) and maher daniel (a good buddy..look im name dropping like clovis). The sound system is among the best in the world and purely analog.

Ricardo Villalobos only comes to mtl vs the rest of north america.

having piknic electronique really helps as the concept is the best for anyone. You have kids and grandparents that show up it is crazy.

mutek is also great.

i'm drunk....our best clubs only open at 2am and serve no booze.
