I read with interest the topic re:Bicknall, so I thought I would start a new topic as I have always found this interesting:

Q: Why is it, so many producers (techno,house,trance..) are able to produce consistantly fantastic music but yet cannot get to grips with the concepts of being a great dj, even though they attempt it and fail? I have a concept and I think I know why this is/happens, but I'd rather read what other people think first...

MY TOP 5 PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME

1. RICHIE HAWTIN
2. JEFF MILLS
3. ADAM BEYER
4. SPEEDY J
5. BEN SIMMS

THIS IS BASED ON AN ABILITY TO BOTH PRODUCE AND DJ BRILLIANTLY (MOST OF THE TIME!)

It`s simple.
Not all producers, are talented DJ`s, not everyone can mix.
Many just aren`t interested in playing records, but get DJ work because of their releases.
But also this works the other way round.
Not all (in fact I would say very few) DJ`s make good producers. But because they can play 2 records in time they assume they can make good music.

in answer to that for somebody who is "well known" i'd say chris leibling or cj bolland, however both have been a bit wayward with releases of late.

as for a good producer, but nicht so gut dj, i'd say misjah - however i've only heard recorded sets, and as we all know there can be a million and one things making his life hard on any given day!

if it rocks - it rocks ;)

I would say Derrick May but he aint done anything for a while but his past trax have been glorious and he's also a wicked DJ.

I think the question was why, not who, before we get a long list of favourite dj/producers.

Rog
12-08-2004, 05:53 PM
I think the question was why....

well, for me - why for instance the reason why i buzz so much off of certain producers sounds - is that feeling it gives you!

from a smile (i don't smile to much!) :eh:
to a pure jumping around like a nutter (in ya car!!!) or just making the bass sounds in ya head - along with the chewn!

these things make me get bang into a certain chewn, it can be a simple thing - for instance just the way an effect is utalized or mor clever arrangments, where i just have to keep listening back and back and back and back, to understand what happened!

its emotion eh? ;)

Inquisitor
12-08-2004, 05:53 PM
Well i named 3 guys who can imo brilliantly produce and dj. The question 'why' is very wide. As it was mentioned not every producer is a talented dj + i think that many famous producers who travel and dj lots often give impression of being a bit bored of it all, meaning that their sets are kinda static and dull.

i think the why is simply because djing and producing are two discrete skills. one doesn't have much to do with the other and mastering either is a conscious effort.

there's lots of talented producers who just never bothered to become very good djs. beltram and uncle juan come to mind. on the flip side, i'd say laurent definitely does not qualify as an amazing producer and that while sims' records are still fun sometimes, he's really a one-trick pony when it comes to production.

is liebing good dj ??? all the sets ive heard from him are really average on the skills side, and he has one of the most boring tracklistings on earth... sure it deals with tastes ...

to be more constructive ... hmmm mills deserves respect for both djing a producing, lets not start a topic around him but ithink everybody will agree at least for a moment in his life he has done some amzing things and pushed forward both djing and producing

also lot of respect for claude young ...his prods are sometimes a bit weak but the pattern buffer serie is flawless

hhmm.....

1st. To suggest, say, someone as creative as a techno producer, does not have the ability to grasp the most basic of dj'ing skills, 'beat mixing', I think is silly.

2nd. Beyer, Clarke, Mills are super star DJ's because of their records, fact. If you wanna be up there with the greats you have to make records, this is epsecially true for the 'Techno schene', so it's no accident that they are offered DJ work, it's all part of the game plan....

yeah, it's true. liebing himself talks about it in interviews. he's had a 'producing partner' since day 1, i forget the guys name. but i've seen liebing go as far as say that he brings in the ideas and this guy executes them. so i guess liebing sits around and does the human beatbox thing or says "let's use that eminem techno sample!" and the other guy does the actual work.

He hasn't DJ'd in over ten years or something, but when he did he won numerous national titles for DJing in Holland, so he is in fact very good at both.

Everyone is on Liebing's back over the fact he has a studio partner, it's not like he doesn't know his way around the studio or anything.. i certainly don't hold it against him anyway, Andre Walter has always chosen to be in the background as he's not that big into the clubscene.

Completely, much of the hard techno that is discussed in this forum leads back to Mills, and it's the same with his DJing style too. There's few people into hard techno who haven't been majorly influenced directly or indirectly by his records and DJ style.

right, wasn't speaking specifically to the names you mentioned. i was pointing out that you can become a huge dj on the merits of your productions and still be a crap dj.

you were talking about super star djs, i was talking about good djs. while we generally hope they are one in the same, of course, unfortunately, often they aren't.

3 producers ive met that can really dj are:

and with all 3, i only truly understand their productions after seeing them mix in the flesh, and boy can they mix records.

even Chris playing Acid, i honestly had no idea what acid was about until i saw and heard him playing it.

but these guys are legends, and not every dj is a producer and vice versa.

Here is the actual question from the 1st post in this thread.
Just to stop the endless lists of everybodies favourite DJ/Producers from turning into one of those "100 greatest" tv things on channel 4


Q: Why is it, so many producers (techno,house,trance..) are able to produce consistantly fantastic music but yet cannot get to grips with the concepts of being a great dj, even though they attempt it and fail? I have a concept and I think I know why this is/happens, but I'd rather read what other people think first...

because djing is about entertaining people and being able to show skill and caracter by choosing records to play to a fussy audience in a very scary enviroment.

producing is about having coolo ideas in a studio while you sip you tea smoke a joint and discuss techno

they are not at all the same thing and anyone who thinks they are is completely misktaken.

however if a producer has already carved a carrer as a dj and has learnt to produce as an added bonus and just become good at it then this works well as added promotion etc.

also a producer can just as easily discover that they can mix fairly well.

but essentially the main thing is not whether you can mix but can you really stand up there , be better than the residents , choose your tunes well and mix confidently in front of what can be a nightmare of audience
that's the test of a dj i.mo. and theres not many people who can do that who DON'T produce let alone the small number who can do both.

and now a list of all my favourite producers:

Back in the beginnig of the dance scene DJs were just DJ's and producers were just producers, now its all about what your name is. If you make good records that everyone likes youve got an instant demo CD to prospective bookers. Many DJs are booked on this 'name' thing and not a lot of them can mix or even own decks im sure?

Its a pity as good DJs dont get anywhere unless they make great tracks - ie. DJ Jerome - must of been THE number one techno DJ in London, but coz he doesnt make GREAT tracks (no offence I love em!) hes not up there where he should be with the Liebings and Mills of this world.

I am just a DJ, but feel I need to make tracks to get my 'name' out there or else continue to DJ at the long list of barbecues, wedding and free parties which ive played for more than 10 years.

Its all about being a BIG NAME now, when it all used to be about the DJ, now the producer has the upper hand and he controls the way the scene goes now. Fair play, Im just waiting for the emphasis to rest with the DJ again - hopefully when it comes full-circle and dance music is back in vogue in around 10 years when i'll be at my peak at 42!!!!!

Only a few have great skills at both, and i must say first time i heard Dave The Drummer DJ (instead of live set), when I used to play at the country club near Yeovil I had to take my hat off to him as he knew how to do both well.

Doesn't really answer the question, but at least I never put me top 10 in!!!! :lol:

By the way Ive seen peoples list of favorite DJs before and some of them have included people who dont play turntables!!!

Hooray, back on track.
Good answers from Henry and mr Swales.
:clap:


Just as an asside, book Swales if you are a promoter, the man is a proper DJ, he plays records really well, to a very high standard, and puts on a damn good performance. Henry don`t need props, cos we all know he does the Job.

i agree totally with whoever said Richie Hawtin. He tops both of these catorgaries IMO. also Trevor Rockliffe, James Ruskin, Deetron and Marco Carola spring to mind. all great dj's and producers.

I've probably been to at least 10 or sp parties who have hosted Hawtin, unfortunately I have never remembered any of his sets...which sorta annoyed me after a while, you know paying bucks to see someone and getting too off guts to remember anything other than arriving and waking up in some weird and foreign situation.
