Tribal and Prog House has more to do with building atmospheric pressure and moods, and progressing towards a direction started from the first beat dropping, can be similarized to an opera...whereas uplifting Hi Nrg trance dj's can throw pretty any great melodic tune in anywhere they want and be consider a "God" ala Armin Van Buuren and his ASOT, theres not much gameplan to it compared to a Progressive set, which molds the crowd through its progression deeper into the set by a Danny Tenaglia or Steve Lawler. Quite a few of you responding with DJ's that are more of producers then DJ's, and have minimal great DJ work under their belt like someone replied Dj Giotto of S.H.O.K.K. That is why I chose mainly Prog House dj's, and finished up with Paul Van Dyk...he is the best Trance DJ at the moment imo, AvB does spin the hottest tunes on ASOT shows but, im looking for total package. |
I TOTALLY AGREE. You captured my thoughts perfectly. DJing is an art of progression, not just dropping uplifting tune after uplifting tune. Few people really understand this, and it sits at the creative center of electronic music.
1. Paul Van Dyk
2. Christopher Lawrence
3. Tiesto
4. Marco V
5. Sasha
