It isn't just about mixing, Jay. It's about P-E-R-F-O-R-M-I-N-G! I can stay at home and listen to Armin mix, what makes me spend 50 bucks to see him?
HIS PERFORMANCE!!!!
A good DJ is a DJ who can
a) Mix well.
b) Produce quality tracks.
c) Work a crowd.
If you can't work a crowd, GO HOME! I don't give a if you're God's gift to the mixing board, if you can't give a crowd a performance then why am I paying to see you live? |

While DJs are entertainers, the way they entertain I think is 99% to do with content, IE: Technical ability+track selection+innovation.
If a DJ is visibly having a good time cause he's rocking the joint, its a plus... But there is no way Armin is THAT into all of his sets, seeing as how they're all the exact same.
Also Armin doesnt deserve to win, he is popular but not the best.
The best DJ of 2006 is (if I HAD to make a decision, as retartedly unfounded as it is) for me is probably Sasha as usual.
Now if someone says "OMG SASHA HASNT EVEN RELEASED AN ALBUM IN 2006 YOU NOOBCASE"
Ill kindly explain that its a vote for the best DJ, not producer, and the fact that Sasha is consistantly rocking in every liveset I listen to of his, I choose him, aswell as the fact its only his 2nd year into DJing digital and he's mastering it and pumping the megamix THOROUGHLY
Layo & Buschwacka! are mega badass too, and many others. |

Sasha?
I love him and all but what the has he done this year that Armin hasn't?
Why? Because he's embracing digital technology?
** WARNING: MARCUS LOVES SASHA AND WANTS TO HAVE HIS CHILDREN ** |

Yea...I remember felix: his mixing sucked but his track selection was good and he def worked the crowd.
That seems to be what makes a dj more popular, and I think that is because the majority of the crowd might not be able to appreciate mixing skills the way most of us can.
The noobs in the crowd go nuts over tracks they recognize and fist pumping before they go nuts over how well the dj mixes one track into another
Only us ta's, look at one another with that dirty look on our face when a perfect, sik mix happens :happy2: |

time for a house dj to win, because mixing trance is easier than mixing kool aid.:p

mixing trance or house or techno or kool aid... its all the same.
once you know the technique, you can mix whatever you want.
and yes, Armin claps better than ferry and stands on decks with superior balance. :haha: sadly its true |
