Well the poster was from LA so :P
But yeah you are right. Nowdays Armin is the at the face of it, but Oakenfold is where it all began here.

dunno. at least jokenfold was into psy for a while and did some half decent productions. perfecto also had some good tracks. Ive heard him play some god awful sets but Ive also heard him play some good ones. you gotta give him that.
armin is just plain awful. hes never had any redeeming moments as far as I can tell.
that is why I stick to lawrence, fleming etc. never let me down.

Yeah saying Armin has never had any redeeming tracks is pretty ridiculous. Blue Fear was awesome.

thats armin first asot? everything Ive ever heard from him has been awful. why did he go so downhill?

Who hasn't gone downhill? Tiesto and PVD used to be great too. You're just looking in the wrong places.

It is hard to find Djs who are consistent. I generally like Djs early on when they play true to themselves. As their popularity grows, they get hungry for success and they start to play to the crowd (ie. bust out the fluff). It's at this stage the good music ends and the crap begins. Same happens with bands.
It's the exceptions that make dance music interesting for me, a few people mentioned John Fleming and Christopher Lawrence. I agree, would add Djs like Digweed, Ritchie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, Sven Vath etc to the list.
