... Seen Carl Cox at Sonar 2003 (Barcelona) and he played last in the main arena... stompin set then he stopped... applause... then he put on one more tune... I don't know what it was but a total monster... as the track finished he slowly faded it out, stepping back from the decks, waving goodbye... then he reaches over to the mixer and bangs up the other fader - same track on the other deck!!, starting over again... he fades this out about halfway through... slowly, smiling, waving goodbye... then he bangs in the other deck again!! SLICK.

... that man is always smiling !!

Then DJ Rush at I love techno 2003... What a set!! He was on the mic as well as the decks and he was so good that:
1. He had me dancing so hard I thought my arms would fall off and my neck was gonna snap at 7am when I'd already been dancing for 8 hours solid...
2. He had everyone sing after him whatever mad sh.it he came up with on the mic off the top of his head like - "everyone sing after me!! - shab-ad-wap-bap-shadalada-go- lippedy hop ba-dam- blam skamadam"
and pretty much all 3000 people in that room sang along!!!!

Very funny. And what is the story with Rush's style of mixing? I could swear he has the mid-range completely cut for 90% of the time? Or maybe I had killed my ears at that stage. .. sounded sweet though :hmm:

And years ago I heard Richie Hawtin play 'The Race' by Yello as an encore....
Never realised that tune was so fat till i heard it on a big system!

All these kinds of displays of flair and style are what makes a great dj...
Or just absolutely solid composition and mixing....

Or a nice pair of tits
