Claude Young is technically the best I've seen.
Sven Vath in years go by I have seen destroy clubs, especially Orbit.
Ant at the moment has a good style and plays less boring than many mentioned above.

Production is quite frankly astonishing.Quote:

Dave The Drummer - all the time higest level

That I've been able to see in person:
DAVE the drummer
Richie Hawtin
Chris Liberator
Well, for sure he's not the best technically... but for me (and 90% of the punters on any given dancefloor) technical ability only means anything if it results in a more enjoyable set - and I've never not enjoyed Si Begg. For me 'best DJ' means the one that makes you have the best time (why else are you there watching them?) and Si Begg always does that for me - fantastic tunes, a varied entertaining style that complements them perfectly and an awesome ability to read and play to the crowd.Quote:

I just think there are better DJs of a similar ilk. Dave Tipper springs instantly to mind.
Never seen him... definitely sounds like I should have though ;)Quote:

Jerome Hill (Hes injected something into techno which was seriously lacking in my book)
Dj Rush (every time ive seen him hes been nothin short of amazing...the energy in a room when hes playin is unrivalled)
Mark (got me into techno...nuff said)
The rudeness.
I dont like DJs as a rule, but I make some acceptions...
Rush
Hawtin
Liebing
There are others....but not many.
Why DJ Rush?
Have seen him a few times over the years and he was rather dissapointing. Plodcore.
I suppose his productions might bring him into the top bracket?
Disagree completely.Quote:

Jeff Mills
Richie Hawton
Adam Beyer
I haven't seen these guys much live, but when listening to their live sets online, I'm always entertained.
maybe I'd had one too many and every track just started sounding the same :roll:Quote:
