[Fake DJ]

[TRB]

Mark EG at a Loca 2002

Was amazing, the crowd screaming, Mark smilling and breaking records... insane night!

In second place , Christian Varela 4 decks set at a Loca 2002 too.

[dfndr]

jay denham @ lifka...

[groover'z]

Chris Liberator @ SP Groove 3 Years!

He played an amazing 3 hours set + the jam session's 4 hours which was the best thing I've ever heard, mixing brand new stuffs with old ones.

[The Overfiend]

James Ruskin @ Limelight.
It was so perfect it was flawed.
3 tables 2 hours. Had the place rocking, anyone from New York that was there can co sign the fact that that place was rediculously jumping.

[jake]

jeff mills @ spundae - intense 3 deck action for the consumate professional.. relentless mixing and relentless cheering everytime a new record came on.. played everything from seawolf to dj rush

richie hawtin @ demf - classics, newies and originals. gravitational arch of 10 tore the house down and everyone was going nuts.

octave one @ 430 west - the way a live act should be :-p (oops this is a dj thread)

dave clarke @ demf - hard ass mixing and a super packed house made his goofy usual tracks sound fresh.

daniel @ aca world sound festival - moontribe founder brought some serious downwards pain to beautiful acapulco!!!!

stacey pullen @ oracle 99 - bad ass all around and no donna summer sampling songs thank god

derrick may @ every party - what a g.. nuff said

[jake]

oh yeah adam beyer and marco carola on 4 decks.... DAMN!!!!!

[disco diva]

Loads, but most recent would be D.A.V.E The Drummer on Monday morning. ;)

[Capone]

Carl Cox @ Sir Henry's, Cork - FACT 2 Tour, March '97

Unbelievable night. Great warm up from Trevor Rockcliffe, Cox blew the place apart, brilliant crowd, UNREAL atmosphere, great tunes, great system, and all in one of THE greatest clubs of all time. Can't ask for more than that really!

Frank De Wulf - Ark '94 - He loved his set so much he played twice in 1 night.

Derrick May - Back To Basics '94. My first experience of hearing him and it blew me away. 250 people crammed into a low ceiling, sweaty basement.

Grooverider - T&C '95 - Back in the day when the tunes you heard from the rider were not heard anywhere else. He even dropped some dutch 4/4 hardcore

Surgeon - Last ever Orbit. The set was perfect for me, certainly went through the classic tunes which made the orbit what it was.

Beyer & Carola on six decks for 4 hours - Orbit. Beyer totally showed Carola the way that night. To say he was on fire is an understatement.

[ncw]

Me, in my bedroom, with two copies of the anfield rap, tripping, for 19 hours. PROPER!

[DJMAYA]

hahahha!!

big ups to the dj playing to himself. that always sounds great to me too


nah id have to say Henry Cullen here in NZ 2003 on 3 dex

and the reason why , was the amount of smiles on peoples faces( and his)

ooooooo big ol sweetie.

[jonnyspeed]

without a doubt - Richie Hawtin. Because he is a genious.

For pure entertainment - Pet Duo

[sash]

Dave Clarke - 2001 - Melbourne (He just put his head down and really went for it. I was so awstruck i just stood there thinkin "what the f*ck?)

Renato Cohen - 2004 - Melbourne (3 decks, tight as a nuns nasty, technically flawless)

DAVE the Drummer - Melbourne 2004 (absolutely fu*k'n rockin party music until the dust fu*ked up his decks 3/4 through his set :( )

Tsuyoshi Suzuki - Melbourne - 2001 (techno/ trance set but more like warm uplifting psychadelic techno that created the most amazing vibe. Ive never heard anything since like it. Saw him do a psy trance set this year but i hate psy trance)

[Evil G]

DAVE the Drummer - here in Calgary at the Emerald Cafe about 3 years ago, i think. He was supposed to play a big party in Red Deer (100 km away), but it got shut down by the cops before it even started, so a few of us back in Calgary quickly grabbed a venue, the djs, announced it on the net, and about 200 people got one of the best shows ever.

Everybody played wicked sets, but Henry's was the best. He had the place still rocking at 8:30am!

[g]

richie hawtin @ demf - classics, newies and originals. gravitational arch of 10 tore the house down and everyone was going nuts.

that particular time hearing Fix/Flash was like no other, ever.

re the original question..
richie hawtin - jak o'lantern, windsor, october 28, 1995 -- i think my eyeballs are still wobbling

buncha other mid-90's hawtin things. barn party! the lodge!!

jeff mills - sickness/recovery, windsor, august 3, 1996 -- mills in the middle of some field, killing people

derrick may - metroplex anniversary party, detroit, early 1995 -- good lord.

derrick may - music institute closing, detroit, 1989 -- speechless.

surgeon - just surgeon.

[ampassasinbirmingham]

as g said many a surgeon set

but the one that stands out for me was the set he did at last years split. 5-7:30am caned it all the way.

Speedy J @ atomic jam may 2001. this set got me into techno

[TheRev]

Richie Hawtin - Twilo - Feb 2002 - For the first 45 minutes my mouth was dropped wide open and I was in complete awe of what he was doing. After that...I was in aftershock for 4 hours :P

[Methodixxx]

JEFF MILLS @ home in Sydney around '99 I think..... OH MY GOD!!! I was standing (as best I could without going too spastic) on the stage next to his record box for over 3 1/2 hours drooling!!! Was just when I had started properly 3 deck mixing and I was in awe :love: He was playing all the stuff I was into, mixing sooo unbelievably well (better than any recording I've heard of his, I've never seen someone come close to that display of skill) and the crowd was going ape shit!! And then after the set we had like a 30 min convo about all sorts of shit (don't beleive the hype, he's a great guy) as the club emptied and they started cleaning it... defining moment, I knew I was doing what I wanted to do at that point!

Carl Cox - back when I was young wipper snapper... freaky!

Ritchie Hawtin on numerous occasions over the years... the man is pure quality and I was lucky enough to chill with him too one time he was out here and he's a ****in champ!
