I won't deny that a clinical procedure to have you sterilised would certainly make my day. |

Fantastic informative post to bring the thread back on to its worthy topic by yourself, though. |

the answer (for me) is sasha.
he plays stuff i identify most with. i.e. enjoy.
he doesn't make his own records, but nor can you say his input has no bearing on the final outcome. he works closely with someone who understands him.
dj sets are the most important factor. it's all about the tracks the dj picks, and how he puts them together.
if being able to produce was the most important factor, and we take that to the extreme - a set (or mix CD) consisting of ONLY of that producers tracks, then i hate that. probably why i generally hate artist albums. babicz and guy j have both done this.
it's all about being able to cherry pick the finest tracks available, whilst being able to craft them in a unique style.
sasha has that nailed for me. his sets from twenty years ago get me fired up as much as his current stuff. |

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. |
I see your UK bias, and raise you a Laurent Garnier.:p |

| You know, Garnier was very nearly another nomination, but I couldn't be bothered to start a list. Worth noting he cut his teeth living in Manchester in the late '80s. UK bias restored. |

title edited out of respect for artists such as the one above. I begrudgingly named the thread electronic dance music. it sounds formal but so long and tedious. |
