TECHNO ARTISTS WHO CAN BOTH PRODUCE & DJ BRILLIANTLY

[g]

2nd. Beyer, Clarke, Mills are super star DJ's because of their records, fact. If you wanna be up there with the greats you have to make records, this is epsecially true for the 'Techno schene', so it's no accident that they are offered DJ work, it's all part of the game plan....

true, they are big ass djs because of their recorded work. but this has nothing to do with whether or not their djing is any GOOD.

erm.. jochem almost never djs. and how can liebing be on this list when someone else makes his music?

He hasn't DJ'd in over ten years or something, but when he did he won numerous national titles for DJing in Holland, so he is in fact very good at both.

that would be hip hop djing. this thread is about techno djs.

"true, they are big ass djs because of their recorded work. but this has nothing to do with whether or not their djing is any GOOD"

But thats my point, and thats why these 3 are the best?!

[Sunil]

to be more constructive ... hmmm mills deserves respect for both djing a producing, lets not start a topic around him but ithink everybody will agree at least for a moment in his life he has done some amzing things and pushed forward both djing and producing

Completely, much of the hard techno that is discussed in this forum leads back to Mills, and it's the same with his DJing style too. There's few people into hard techno who haven't been majorly influenced directly or indirectly by his records and DJ style.

right, wasn't speaking specifically to the names you mentioned. i was pointing out that you can become a huge dj on the merits of your productions and still be a crap dj.

you were talking about super star djs, i was talking about good djs. while we generally hope they are one in the same, of course, unfortunately, often they aren't.

MILLS
HAWTIN
SPEEDY J
BEYER

Lets not forget these 4 guys are def the pioneers of the techno schene, whether you like them or not, or whether you feel they've have or have'nt sold out. You have to agree, these guys, collectivly, are responsible for some fantastic techno music, some fantastic historic performances, and yes, fantastic bank balances....

speedy j aint no dj...

and the last time i saw him was at awakenings new year eve and i must say he sucked big time, kinda stucked in his own formula...

No, it's about "TECHNO ARTISTS WHO CAN BOTH PRODUCE & DJ BRILLIANTLY". It's true that Speedy J doesn't DJ but he certainly can if put to the test. This thread is about how producers can get the tracks done but can't master DJing; Speedy J has mastered DJing, the fact he gave it up or doesn't spin techno nowadays is not particularly relevent .

[rca]

If you've followed techno you can NOT slag BEYER off!!!!!

he's given us some classic techno gems, and the guy has fantastic technical ability, the only problem is a looks a little bit soft.

SPEEDY J @ ATOMIC JAM 2002 (I THINK)

THIS was the best techno performance (live, 2 x yamaha's, so ok NOT really DJ'ing) I have ever seen, if you were there? Hawtin came out after and as much as I rate the guy his set/performance was pathetic. The place just empty'd. Speedy J was just TO GOD DAMN GOOD !

you can if he doesn't do it for you, which is likely what miro was saying. no accounting for taste.

erm.. jochem almost never djs. and how can liebing be on this list when someone else makes his music?

He hasn't DJ'd in over ten years or something, but when he did he won numerous national titles for DJing in Holland, so he is in fact very good at both.

Everyone is on Liebing's back over the fact he has a studio partner, it's not like he doesn't know his way around the studio or anything.. i certainly don't hold it against him anyway, Andre Walter has always chosen to be in the background as he's not that big into the clubscene.

i stopped buying liebings "so called productions" as soon as i heard this. (coupled with the fact that this guy sits at the money end of techno)

i dont like being taken for a ride. if i hear of any so called producers who follow the same route i shall not be purchasing their records either. i dont enjoy being ripped off.

to get somebody else to make music for you, and take all the credit falls nothing short of pathetic.

And this is why I love Sunil.

I totally agree. Whats worse is when they rip off/sample unknown artists too.
