BOA poll - The best 3 dj's in the techno scene .

[speed-it-up]

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.

Si Begg

Production is quite frankly astonishing.

Mixing is, unfortunately, atrocious... saved only by first rate tune selection.

[Athar]

Dave The Drummer - all the time higest level
Jeff Amadeus - 3 decks master
James Kinetec - my fav hard techno dj

[mek]

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.

If the question was 'who's got the best technical skills in the techno scene' I'd have said something else, as it is big up Mr Begg - he stays :wicked:

Fair play...

If we were listing best producers I'd have him up there in a second. His tunes are fantastic, and - if we're being honest - that AAD mix of his has some of the most interesting tuneage I've come across in a while... in fact, it kind of resurrected my interest in breaks a bit... but the mixing (at times) is absolutely shocking.

I just think there are better DJs of a similar ilk. Dave Tipper springs instantly to mind.

[djfurness]

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)

[TechMouse]

The rudeness.

[holotropik]

I dont like DJs as a rule, but I make some acceptions...

Rush
Hawtin
Liebing

There are others....but not many.

[speed-it-up]

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.

I think Rush is one of the few DJs on the planet that you can easily identify within seconds, just by hearing him play. He's got a very unique style, which no-one else seems to get near.

[audioinjection]

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:

[Jay Pace]

DJ Rush makes the filthiest dirtiest hardest techno imaginable unmistakably funky.

Thats a skill.

[TechMouse]

This is also true.

If those 4 speakers can put out 10K of sound then I am a small, hascidiic jew, gangster rapper, with a baritone voice, glass eye, and a dick like a blue whale.

[TechMouse]

There are speakers inside the cars too.
