Steve Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 If YouTube videos count, this guy has to be up there with the worst: - He refused to play any request and for some messed up reason, he kept "scratching" at the most inappropriate times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny vanalli Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Best: X-Press 2 at Glasto, Erol Alkan at Fire, D-Styles in Bangkok, Tom Middleton/Medicine 8 in Sheffield, Jon Carter in Ibiza. It's hard to pick one. Also loved seeing Sasha at Cream one time. Worst: Last month in Hua Hin we went to this bar. Some Danish dudes had hired it out for the night and were DJing, as they proudly came up and told me. DJing meant playing tunes from Youtube on a computer. They played a load of hair rock "classics", often more than one at the same time. At one point they took requests, so I asked for Super Sharp Shooter. They played the intro and then sacked it off and went for Guns n Roses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest broke Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I can't forget Jim Coles pka 2Tall aka Om Unit playing earlier this year in Sydney, that was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rock Well Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Broma - yeah, I've still got it somewhere. That mix and one he did on an Essential Mix CD set were always on heavy rotation in my circle of friends before the Dam trip. It was like fate when he played our last night out there.

Frost Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Andy C's light show at the Manchester acadamy last year...intense. Can't think of a worst...probably me drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Symatic Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 kentaro is a beast of a dj! Edan is also one of the best i've seen... rappin and juggling at the same time like j live... dope d styles is obviously ridiculous on the cut, and i love his dj sets too, would love to see him do more trick mixes and stuff, or see what he does with a funk set like shortkut and derrek d ( ) I went to see j rocc recently and was ready to get my mind blown. it was shit. really wanted to see some juggles and trick mixes. didnt get any. alright tunes i guess...Ive def seen worse dj's, and probably been a worse dj, but that one was something i was really looking forward to cos i know he's so good, and he didnt do sheeiiiit. gotta love aba shanti-i - can't go to his gigs and leave in a bad mood! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 From a technical stand point I think Kentaro's up there as one of my favourite DJs (definitely one of the best to bring turntablist routines to a club environment), but I don't always like his selection (his 'My Favourite Songs' mix being an exception as it's brilliant) but he always delivers a crowd pleasing set.

Guest loop skywalker Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lets not forget though..best or worst,it is the artists that djs play that deserve the credit..a dj is merely a jukebox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Lets not forget though..best or worst,it is the artists that djs play that deserve the credit..a dj is merely a jukebox. I'm yes and no on this. It's the selection and skills that makes the party too A producer with no dj skills/selection ability does not equal a party but at the same time a DJ with good skills and selection does not equal a party without the songs they select. It's a two way thing in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 A good mix or live set is way better than the sum of its parts, which no jukebox is capable of. Although I'm sure Native Instruments will release one that is in 2014. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfsop Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Best: D-Styles, Tigerstyle, DJ Marky, Babu, CrazeWorst: This guy I had to listen to at a wedding last week end. I would have killed to hear just one halfway decent track like say "Vem dançar Kuduro". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
