When I think of 'entertaining,' I think of people who make a concerted effort to do more than they otherwise would, not necessarily for their own enjoyment, but for that of those watching.

you sound like my teacher...

Is your opinion based on hearing recordings or seeing him live? I admit that some of the sloppiness may make it unattractive listening at home (though his 2002 Essential Mix was pretty good), but when you're out live to have a good time, Glaude's energy overwhelms the technical shortcomings.

ummmm...no. just cause the guy jumps up and down like a clown does not make up for his horrible mixing. a dj is there to play records not act like a lunatic.

now if a dj can mix well while dancing around like an idiot than more power to him. but, this is not the case for glaude.

I think j00f's outstanding as a performer... Richard Durand played a 4 city tour in India recently... and he was full-on behind the decks as well.

I've watched Burridge play once and was blown away with his skills and mastery of his craft, but I don't remember him being very animated on stage..

Anyone hear DJ Gee at Bora Bora, Ibiza? His body language, though not animated, used to constantly convey a sense of warmth and positive vibes...
