from listening to their recent sets, Tiesto and Oakenfold are definately making a comeback. It may not be their usual style that we are accustomed to, but both are definately dropping some sick tracks and honestly, their style is matching my taste more and more which is more tech, prog, vox, etc. Im tired of all that upliftin stuff unless its Armin. Armin always makes it cool to like uplifting. I still think Armin is the most under rated DJ. He is always all about the fans, always chattin with us and like someone told me once . . . .when we go clubbin with armin, armin goes clubbin with us.

I have only seen Armin once, but I have to agree with you there. Approachable, and he got into it with the crowd.

When I saw Armin, he looked like he was having a great time. When he put on his last track, he came into the crowd and danced with us. He's a cool guy.

Yeah absolutely agree that Armin is probably the best mingler of the lot (well the only one to really mingle when they come to Oz once a year )

For me, most of the big Australian DJs are completely over-rated .. names that won't mean anything to Europeans or North Americans, but trust me they are the best we have and they get shown up badly by internationals every time. People like Jumping Jack, Nik Fish, Nick Skitz, Peewee Ferris, Mark Dynamix, Bexta and Amber Savage. Only real exception is Yoshi, but he always plays hard trance, whether he's opening, closing or headlining

I've seen Oakey live and I must say that he dissapointed me this is back when i was completely into hard trance (1 1/2 yrs ago) sooooo maybe that is the reason I dunno.

I have recently started to refine my tastes in trance sooo i would say that I'd kill to see Armin live, however livin in Colorado, I don't see that happenin anytime soon. Tiesto is commin in like 2 wks and everyone's freakin out about that. All I know is that according to most TA's he's been hot and cold recently, God I hope that it's a hot night for him when he comes to Denver!!!!!!!!!

? This one i have to completely disagree with. Perhaps for someone with less rounded tastes that doesnt like techno i can see posting this but mauro has a style which if allowed will whoop your ass. Megamind - Taub is incredible. He drops awsome tracks in his sets. He has a very unique style which is hard to find in Djs these days. I love picotto and feel he has earned all the "rating" which surrounds him.

I cant really say who id put in over rated, I think as far as mixing Oakey is a bit over rated in north america, He is seen as the Dj that represents trance when there is far greater talent out there. You go to his set and 600 cell fones are on with OMG oakenfold is player right now!! His producing i enjoy but mixing he has never really impressed me.
Tiesto is a hard call, lately his producing hasnt been as good but i feel he is still an excellent DJ. He use delivers a good show, we all have our off nights though.

ok....IMO.....
sasha is the best at programming. his skills are hot & cold.....but he can put together sets like no other.

as for digweed, ....if u have the chance listen to a digweed set. how in the hell is he overatted....he is one of the best technically sound djs in the world, and his programming is also top notch (but to see his prgramming skills u need to let him spin for a few hours)....he gradually builds his sets, so slightly increasing energy, then bam, it hits u 2 hours later when he's got u in a total mind fuck. i'm not shure if i explained that clearly enough but i hope you get me.

you know fuck all
cosmic gate are shit yes, not sure about blank and jones, never seen them, but dumonde are really fucking good DJ's
they play at my local club a fair bit, and I've seen them 8 times this year, gonna be 9 on friday, and in the 8 times I've seen them, the mixing has never been anything less than flawless.
And seeing as they've never been over to Canada or the States, what are you basing your opinion on?

Sasha and Digweed released a GU album that was mixed on a computer! They didn't even mix it live! How's that, for all their fame?
