In your opinion, what makes a DJ "Top" 4 u?
Is it:
- The tunes he plays?
- His mixing techniques?
- Or do you just like him because your big-bro sed so?

I'm just curious, as I hear/see a lot of polls etc. askin' who you think is "Top" I'm just wondering why you like who you do?

here are my four points for a TOP DJ:
* tunes he playes are always good
* tight mixing techniques
* can produce or remix songs well
* has a unique style that differentiates him from everyone else

i like a dj that seems to be psycic - knows what everyone in the crowd wants, interacts with the crowd, throws down amazing tunes that NOBODY HAS EVER HEARD BEFORE

a TOP dj for me is a dj that:

plays good tunes.. old or new dosen't matter as long as their good

has good mixing skills

feels the crowd.. know what the crowd wants him to play..

For me, for a DJ to be on my top of my list,

*seamless mixing
*great playlist (regardless of when its released...actually the combination of both in one set is the best)
*reads the crowd/interact w/ the crowd
*has different mixing technique that sets them apart from all the others.
last but least:, very important:
*seems like they are enjoying spinning. has a smile on face :D :D :D

great example would be Ferry Corsten, though ive only seen him spin once ;) of course u know that he's a seamless spiner and all but he really did set himself apart from all the other DJs... mebbe even better than Tiesto. the way he knows how to start from a darker tunes and gradually working his way up to energetic yet uplifting stuff and stabalizing the reaction of the crows.. just AMAZING!!! :eyes: and of course when he smiled to the crowd and interacted w/ us totally made my legs go weak and my heart ga-ga!:o now thats one DJ that proves himself worthy to be on ppl'S top DJ list;)

this is just my opinion but...

DJ does not equal Producer nor a Remixer...

to me, they are all different. many DJs do all of the above (eg. FC/Tiesto) but many other DJs dont do anything except DJ...so it would be hard for me to agree that remixes and producing would be critereias to fulfil for them to be a canidate for top DJ list...

just my $.02 ;)

To me a DJ is good if everyone else say's he's good. I don't have to hear any livesets of him before i will go on these threads and tear apart how i hate so-and-so or love so-and-so just because another guy said so....

I like to jump on the bandwagon.

My top DJ is Judge Jules, because he plays song i really like, he tries things that others would not dare, and his mixin is in general top notch. That is what i look for in a dj, mainly if i like what he plays. So my main point is selection
