my choice of ogi was simply a more up to date choice somone who deffo floats my boat and someone i see as 1 of the most gifted techno talents ive seen in years even tho he aint known like some of the big guns we mention here he sure is an absolute full package of a most technical and giffted dj. ;) same feelings towards jeff amadeus wot a talent enough said. there are far many gifted genuine geeza`s out there to pick one its simply inpossible :eh:

Ogi
Agreed the boys is tight.
Paul Mac for selection and programming.

im only playing son.....

dave clarke was the man who inspirred me to start mixin techno the way i do.

until then i was a turntablist full stop.

he gets a MASSIVE amount of respect from me for whats hes done in the past and how he influenced me in the beginning of me techno mixin.

But i honestly get more technical than him....ill stick up a video very soon to show.

I just think its sad that folks are still thinking them djs are amazing when they aint....not that i am just now... but i bet in 10yrs i will be on sum next level stuff.

party hiphop djs like vinroc are doing soo much more on the tables(they are really pushing the artform) and rocking a party at the same time...

but is it technically brilliant :crackup:

i know i'm jumping into the subject late , but what do you all mean by technical brilliance ... ??

is it the dj skillz on the turntables 2 or 3, , the mixer, versitality in using the effects , good eq , versitality in style , blending the elements togheter , choping, improvizing on the spot , being able to properly do what u wanted on the decks in the first place just by thinking about it ? :crackup:

all of the above all in one ;)

Then Rudi Schmulten is here for you!

Mix coming soon.

But then i dont think many of the DMC DJs would beable to mix on 3 or more decks and keep all the tracks in time and create a flowing set.

hip-hop turnableism is only one side of being a technical DJ.

have to disagree..

who said you cannot flip techno and juggle etc and get very technical..

just techno djs are lazy.

if you gave someone like dj craze a bass tone locked groove and a locked groove record i bet hed come up with some very good "technical" stuff.

---

I dont think they would personally otherwise they would have been using locked grooves long before now. Plus most of the beatmatching i hear from hip-hop DJs are only very approximate designed to last a bar or two at most. It takes a lot more skill to keep the tracks in time after 2 or so minutes as the BPM only has to be a fraction out and its noticable

yes.

doing all that, with sum blendin mayhem, jammin fx, skracthing(and im talking about proper "musical" cuts, not the shite getting done by many metioned in this thread, think invisibl skratch piklz style) the odd funny trick, some smooth mixes, choosing good tunes that flow and work well with each other, jugglin, using samples and fx to remix tracks or add more elements etc etc makes a technically brillient dj.

thats what I want to see..

if your happy seeing someone just play tunes you like and blend em in to the last track over and over fair enuf......i want more from the artform and i will strive to do so and make others aware and hopefully do so too.

up to you, im gonna keep at what i believe in, one day ye shall see. ;)

With you on that, Gazzatron...

I DO know some folk who really DON'T like our style of putting techno together, though. For them it's about the progression of the music and record choice with the tunes being mixed seamlessly (read BORING) one after the other.

Quite a few techno heads don't like cut-ups, scratching etc but then I guess I'm not really a techno head - I'm a hip-hop head and I also apply these ideals to.. er... Making a ****ing HUGE NOISE !

In fact, in that respect, as you used to spin mainly hip-hop too, doesn't that make us the very 'hip-hop djs using techno tools' that apparently don't exist ?

Mind you, I've always relished the idea of not existing :twisted:

i think were all missing another good point in that, its nice to go out and see a variety of dj's not only playing different styles of techno, but also using different mixing techniques.

i like seeing one dj do smooth long mixes, then the next one maybe do more tricks, then another one maybe using three decks etc.

I get your point on that score, fair enough.

For me, personally, I rate Steve Bicknell as one of my all-time 'top' DJs. He's not 'technically' an amazing dj when compared to some but the pacing of his sets etc... FAULTLESS.

In terms of techno I'd rather listen to Bicknell than most other DJs on the planet.

The sound he creates and the music he mixes is ALWAYS jaw-dropping, imo, has had me laughing on the dancefloor so many times down to its utterly pounding and hypnotic ZEN FACTOR.

He's always been mining the seams that are more difficult to reach, too, and I respect those who climb and dive to get to the true gems while others prospect at ground level for generic scraps.

The couple of times ive seen him he has had really good tunes but couldnt put them together or could every other one. Does tune selection come under technical?

second that once saw him do a demonstration on 4 decks at eastern bloc record shop in manchester :shock: :shock: :shock: fuk he blew everyones head off wot a superstar :love:

Id have to say varela personally, but clarke is really good too.

I'm not a really big fan of scatchin thats why i picked these two.

But if i was to say with scratching included DJ Murphy from Brazil would take the cake.


Pauze :twisted:

Really strange

I find him predictable, unimaginative and worst of all interminably dull. I've never met anyone who rates him at all.

But different strokes for different folks I guess. I'm glad that some people are into him. It would be awful if everyone thought he was rubbish.

I love 'lost', and am dead grateful towards the man for it...

I know LOADS of people who rate him, so I guess it is a different strokes thing.

This is good, though, the world would be so boring if we were all the same :lol:

dave clarke still does it 4 me (although he's probably the most inconsistent dj on the planet as well).

There's something unique about how he drops tracks in. Everything just flows and keeps pushin forward. his mixin on his new techno world service 2 disc is nuts and unique.
Definitely not everyone's cup of tea though but it's good that he brings another level of diversity to techno.

I don't know how he plays abroad (i.e. umek), but at home he's been pretty inconsistent for the last two years at least. ever since he ventured into electro-house, knarz type of music a year or so ago he seems to have lost his feeling for the crowd too. as for kanzyani: although i don't really dig the tracks he plays, he always makes a hell of a party.

personally, surgeon is the most technically accomplished dj i've ever heard, not to mention the tracks he plays. An awesome package, and guess what: he's coming to a club near me very soon :rambo:
