I'd like to think I'm at the point where I influence myself these days, but way back when it was "The Wizard" a.k.a. Jeff Mills and Fumiya Tanaka, then Claude Young. I listened to Mills' and Tanaka's Mix-Up CDs over and over, trying to decipher the three-deck insanity that was going on (some parts of those mixes still blow me away) and work that same kind of intensity into my own sets. I then had the pleasure of hearing Claude Young, who took DJing and turntablism to a whole new level - the man was a master of improvisation.
Plenty of other names I could name - Murat, Theo Parrish, Traxx, Ben Sims, Marco Carola (before he went all soft and mnml) are a few who come to mind - in all likelyhood, I probably learn a little something from every DJ who catches my attention. |

Oh man my influences are too many to number. Click on that music box thing on my profile to get an idea of the non-edm stuff thats influenced me.
In terms of DJ's, Quivver has been the biggest influence in what I try to spin/listen to. |

I would have to say the old Funky Tekno Tribe!
Dan, Glaude, and Weaver. Especially Barry Weaver! This guy's skill and work-rate on the decks (3 of them), was phenomenal!
Fav memory of him was: BARRY WEAVER v DJ DAN - STEEL CAGE MATCH!
Absolutely MENTAL! I miss that kind of !
Steve, Wayne, make it happen. *wishing so harrrd* |

+100,000,000!!!!
Those were wicked times...
Glaude blew me away at Wicked 97 (I think) and then Weaver came on after and just kept it going!!!!
Not as funky as that anymore..... |

I heard he was the real producer of Sandstorm. But then Darude offered him a cowboy hat in exchange for the rights to his song. |

Everyone knows who my biggest one is. :o( While I haven't been as much of a fan of Barbara's individual track selection in recent years, what I have always admired about her is just her willingness to go in a direction that satisfies her as an artist, even if not what her fans want. She's done this twice now, and I respect her for it because people have been really harsh about it. Whatever she does decide to do, she gives it 100% and stays true to what she wants.
I also admire how she doesn't put up with anyone's bull and has never paid attention to being a woman in a male dominated industry. I got to know her a little bit back in 03 or 04 I guess, right around when I was really into DJing, and she was a huge inspiration.
Musically, Adam Beyer has also really influenced me, I have always loved the layering he does with his tracks and his track selection is always bang on. |
