No, I don't think so, so I can mention Rolf Ellmer. |

| Imo, I think this person is yet to come. No offense but someone who masters all areas and more than a couple genres. Someone who has a distinct sound like BT, Sasha, PVD thats totally done by the same one person. DJ skills, like the son of god LOL. Someone who can incorporate several genres in his dj sets that can really lift a crowd. Possibly someone who is handy with synths whether its virtual or hardware. Someone who ignites revolution of course, i sound so dumb lol. |

Another thread that exists entirely for Matt to anoint Oakenfold.
It's obviously a silly question, but for s and giggles I'll say Andrew Weatherall. He's been around since year dot, he's made a string of classic records, he's pioneered whole dance music movements, he's created boundary-pushing experimental works, he's been consistently respected and acclaimed by clubbers and critics throughout his career and he's a brilliant DJ who has always been able to play at least three completely different kinds of set at any point. At one time in the '90s you could see him play a techno set one week, a deep house set another, a dub reggae set the third week and a set of drum 'n bass played at the wrong RPM to round out the month. In other words, he nails it in every criteria. |

You might be looking for that, laughing boy. The thread just says "The greatest ever in dance music" and the criteria by which "greatest" is determined has been left to everyone's individual interpretation, hence why it's a daft thread in the first place.
For me personally, someone whose biography dates back to the dawn of acid house, who has a brilliant track record both as producer and DJ, who has historical significance and influence, and crucially is still just as good and as relevant now as during the glory days is a worthy candidate for "greatness". |

| This is a mundane question that gets brought up all the time in various circles such a sports, movies, and other genres of music. If electronic dance artists are an exception, then whatever. It's not that ing serious. |

basically, the answer has to lie somewhere in-between your personal favourite and a industry veteran. boom. |

With a cool dry wit like that you could be an action hero. |
