best three i've seen live.

sims
carola

best set i've ever heard

cristian varela live at universal madrid.

[Jimfish]

hmm..
well the 3 sets ive most enjoyed have been from:

joel mull
gaetano parisio
Rolando

[tekara]

cristian varela is absolutely amazing on 4 turntables
Umek Uroos is wicked as well
and of course Adam Beyer

:)

[boul]

Adam Beyer
Redhead
Glenn wilson

[spiralx]

Jerome
DAVE the Drummer
Chris Liberator

[Si the Sigh]

1) Mark EG (when he's on a techno tip...AWESOME!)
2) DAVE the Drummer (tight mixes, quality tune selection, wicked!)
3) Luke McMillan aka The Producer (very under rated in my opinion)

[tioneb]

ive heard producer a few monthes ago and that was some boring banging set with stuff like liebing, wilson and beyer in his tracklist... nothing really exciting, but i guess the people who put guys like lars klein or wilson in their top 3 may like.

my top 3 changes almost every week, but on friday ive heard deetron and hes very very amazing, derrick may was excellent. then to complete lets put the one who will always be in my top 3 : jeff mills

please do not start to do this mills is good/sucks usual discussion, ive heard it too many times

[Si the Sigh]

...you brought it up again man! :wink: :lol:

[spiralx]

Jerome
DAVE the Drummer
Chris Liberator
Although saying that I've heard some absolutely amazing sets played at squat parties, but I never have any idea who's playing. Some of the Malfaiteurs guys are top notch though :)

[DJPAUZE]

Lars Klein
Patrik Skoog
Michael Burkat

Hmmm, maybe I've been lookin in the wrong places...but I've never located a Burkat or Klein live mix.

What's Burkats mixing skills like?

I've been told that Klein aint too bad at all on three? Is this correct?

Hey there, Klein is AMAZING, tighter then a ten year old whore! I can't say too much for burkat's skills, didnt like any sets i have heard from him. Skoog i havent heard mixing but I would totally like to.

Pauze :twisted:

[davethedrummer]

erm erm......
alan partridge
terry wogan

but seriously the king of radio has to be
john peel!!!

[Angrymann]

Richie Hawtin - Brilliant set builder

Derrick May - Just for the energy and amount of tricks in his sets ( don't think he varies them a great deal though)

Jerome Hill

These are the one's I have seen. there are probanly many more favourites out there that I am yet to see. I would put Laurent Garnier up there too but I haven't seen him at a night yet , just heard sets.

[Sunil]

Richie Hawtin - Brilliant set builder


I agree, one of my favourites, mainly for the reason you mentioned.
I like Carola,Beyer,Liebing...there are still a lot of others I'd like to hear though. Missed Dave the Drummer here the last time, had to go early unfortunately :( Jaysus I reckon his fee will have to be going up at least 50 quid after all the plaudits in this thread!

Would really like to see Mills in a small venue, highly unlikely these days though...

[krakp0t]

pete tong
judge jules
oakie

alan partridge playing an oldskool set would be wicked.

Oscar Mulero

[BritishMurderBoy]

richie hawtin - for all the reasons mentioned above

ben sims - has raw talent behind the alter, his use of just volume hasn't been matched by an DJ i have ever seen

steve rachmad - great music and tight mixing... rachmad at atomic jam 7th birthday at the Q in brum is one of the best sets i have seen...


****

hounorable mention to jerome hill who was fantastic at last months H.O.G.

[4play]

Yeah richie hawtin has blew me totaly away both times I have heard him play but for spot on mixing I would have to say Adam beyer! The guy is ****ing awsome on the decks!!! his ability and presision is second to none!!!

Heard him for second time the other month and he rocked it!!! Looked like he shit it after coming on after coxy but still manged to bang 3 decks all in the mix after about 90 seconds!!! not a confident guy behind the decks but hay does he get in to it!! Hat off to the man!!!

Talking about him anyone know when hes due to play in UK again?

[Jimfish]

yeah i like beyer too, but more cos of the choons than his mixing skills

[miles]

Beyer awsome...mixing one loop after another...very creative!
For gods sake , when is this madness going to end.
Give these people some proper techno to mix and they would be ****ed!

[Jimfish]

but we are just talking favourites here.. My favourites are not necessarily the best technically - but they play the tracks i love. So i love avin a boogie to thier sets

[Sunil]

You ever seen him play? On a good night he's outstanding. He's playing what he likes, you are just judging him on what he plays, not about the way he plays..

I always heard Toky (Rumenige) was the one to watch out of that gang for DJ-ing, no?

[tekboi]

Ben Sims
Cristian Varela
Surgeon

Though I think the topic should be more like 3 favourite DJs as its confusing in the fact that do you choose top djz along the lines of only their mixing skills or combined with mixing their style of track selection which is maybe even more important, I dont know but wat I can say is there is so much talent out there, techno is only going up :D

[Esox Lucius]

it's not confusing, it's your top 3 dj's, doesn't matter what you like them for.

[YouKnowILoveYou]

Interesting point-
So many people seem to focus on a Djs technical ability ie. how many decks they can play on instead of the tunes they play.
People don't seem to be able to hear the music anymore?

I've always thought that no matter how many boring records you play at the same time the result will be the same.

sh*t * 2 decks = shi*t
sh*t * 3 decks = shi*t
sh*t * 4 decks = shi*t

[Jimfish]

if any of us were really voting for technical ability we would have put 3 rudebwoy scratch djs down in the list innit.

[tioneb]

Dalo (Olga+Jozef)


I always heard Toky (Rumenige) was the one to watch out of that gang for DJ-ing, no?

well for me they were playing the same, but i was told last week end they are quite different... the guy who told me told me dalo is really huge. i only own short mp3 of him.

every mate i know (except buttman) who heard mulero told me he is terribly boring ...

[4play]

Hay natrualy when I list one of my favorite Djs I like Its obviously down to there tune selection and style aswell as technial ability if I was to write down a DJ just for techical ability id write down someone totaly diffrent to the ones I mentioned but someone said Adam beyers just plays loops!! Well fat rolling pounding loops is just my thing and the way he keeps he pace rolling all the way through his set is just what I like (My taste) + hes very upfront with tunes and his tune selection is to my taste fat and funky percusive techno!!! :twisted:

peoples views on a good dj is always gonna be diffrent pesonaly tunes selection and the style they play is the most important thing but if there a quality mixer too well then there you have a great DJ!!!

[Buttman]

Dalo (Olga+Jozef)


I always heard Toky (Rumenige) was the one to watch out of that gang for DJ-ing, no?

Dalo is tighter than Usama's rectum.

Toky might be too but every time he plays he is totally wasted so noone will ever know.

[crime]

After careful thought:

1.Jerome Hill
2.Shandy (Test, Glasgow)
3.My Mate Matty Darkbreaks

every mate i know (except buttman) who heard mulero told me he is terribly boring ...mulero could improve his technical skillz but he plays wonderful music (most of the time) which is more important then his skillz.
i dont understand why is everyone on the local scene crazy for d. clarkewhen he plays really commercial aka bad music. cause he plays them like he s on rundmc?

I'm not a huge Clarke fan but he does represent techno reasonably well to the masses, there's numerous electro and techno artists nobody would have picked up on had it not been for him. As for his DJ-ing he is one of the best, the fact there's tonnes of kids in their bedrooms trying to emulate him tells its own story...

[Sunil]

Toky might be too but every time he plays he is totally wasted so noone will ever know.

I don't quite get the above sentence, no-one will ever know what?

[tioneb]

... know that toky is skilled. i guess buttman means that hes tight when he has clear mind, but that happens really barely.

mixing while being really pissed is just matter of training like anyother skill imo.

[miromiric.]

story that he is born to be a mtv star?
bringing techno to masses?! **** that sunil boy. this aint gonna happen, at least not for next 5000 years in the pure way.

I said he represents techno reasonably well to the masses, i.e. the wider dance music public that wouldn't have necessarily been avid techno fans...

Oh ok, I understand now! I've always heard great reports about his mixing ability though and that he is generally always on form, maybe not then..

[T]

steve rachmad - great music and tight mixing... rachmad at atomic jam 7th birthday at the Q in brum is one of the best sets i have seen

Steve Rachmad is qualityy alright, heard him out last year....started with a proper atmospheric dark intro followed by techno of the highest quality mixed together real nice.
Great producer as well imo.

Sorry, i always thought a good DJ is about what he plays as well as the well he plays em ( technically)...Beyer plays shite, wank drum loops the same as all his mates corolla Gaytek etc..or whatever he's called :wink:

Give it a rest. Respect that some people do like what he plays and the way he plays it, if it's not your thing then it's not your thing, start up another thread if you wanna get into a loops are boring conversation...actually on second thoughts don't bother, it's about the most useless thing worth talking about.

[ripped]

Urban
Beyer
Emerson

most likely to change that: Slobodan, Skoog, Wilson, Cullen, Rodell, Amok or Noise.

He's a guy called Bronson who used to run a record shop

I can not remember exactly what it is like right now. Some kind of downbeat? And a Ruskin remix (always class!)?

yes a downbeat and emotional track by ruskin. a good one !

[Sam_Horam]

Sims
Carola
Deetron

[Sunil]

Godfather

he's playing here in a few weeks, really looking forward to it, he's meant to really tear it up

[miles]

yes a downbeat and emotional track by ruskin. a good one !

Ruskins isn't the downbeat track..those 2 are by Bronson.
The club track is Ruskins mix and a downbeat mix by Claude Young

[miromiric.]

yes downbeat refference was for metier. and emotional for ruskin.

[crime]

Godfather

he's playing here in a few weeks, really looking forward to it, he's meant to really tear it up

Yes, is very good, I have every one of his "The Bomb" mixes apart from number 2...
I think Disco D is slightly better for the style....
These guys (and the other new skool detroit Ghetto tech people) pitch Detroit techno stuff right up to go with the ghetto stuff and it really works... one of the few examples of being able to speed it up and keep the funk in there......

oh for goodness sake man i was joking.
shame for you if you think acid is retrovert . means you'll probably never enjoy it again as everytime you hear it you'll crinkle up your face and say " oh god not the bloody 303 again!" or something like that.
anyway i was joking, all i really meant by saying i am acid was

"so what?"

[davethedrummer]

actually i just read my last post and i don't like what i said at all
sorry buttman i'm tired and crabby maybe just get a bit peeved with all this acid nonsense.

[tioneb]

even nowadays acid house really blows the floors, well im talking about the end of 80s house, not this bloody crap from the mid 90s "acid super techno trance core"... talking about this ive seen guy like garnier or jack de marseille really making the crowd mad when they spinned acid house
