ok guys.. i'd like from u to list ur DJs/producers..
the point is not to know whom do u like, but i wanna know y? y did u
choose that DJ not somebody else. no DJ is perfect, so i want from u to
tell me y u chose him..is it mixing skills? trackselection? sound difference?
popularity? so plz, try to stop urselves from poping in throwing a name
and then move to another topic. it's not about mentioning the name, it's
about what u like in it. that was 1, 2: plz don't mention one artist; i'm sure
we all listen to loads so try to be comprehensive.
3: my point from this topic is to know what does attracts u most to a DJ's
sound as well as what genre is the most popular? (though i know u all
crave for mel/up) forget the hot top names, and try to be more selective
but still collective to an extent.
- John '00' Fleming (i suppose u all know y, 4 me he has it all: trackselection, production, and he always kicks ass, always innovative, and a gr8 person to talk to)
- M.I.K.E. (love him basically for his proggy sound - though he's not full on progg - his best productions should be those with collaboration imo)
- The Digital Blonde (Ricky Smith is such a talent, although he doesn't DJ but his production always own it, a progg producer with continuous innovation)
- Astral Projection (nothing introduces those guys: the founder of psy trance - along with man with no name - i'm mostly attracted to their baselines and the wide interval in their productions. best remixer out there, they turn any tune they touch into psychedelic gold!)
- James Holden (the UK #1 progg trance/tech house DJ! his warm ups r so energetic...hope u can all see him live)
- Sub 6 (another psy freak from israel. this year: Droid and Ra He Ya rose their name higher than it ever was. never seen them live, but i wouldn't spare it)
- Electric Universe (still with psy, and still buzzing on their productions.. 145 BPM was the slowest i ever listened to this artist)
- Dark Nebula (no comment! excellent producer!)
- Astrix (the recent and futuristic sound of psy. the melody he uses in his productions had helped in re-shaping trance and psy precisely as a style not only of acid blaring dance beat..gr8 skills on FX and countless favorites from Life System to Underbeat, Poison, and many more...)
- Domestic ( i still crave for their tunes. they had a tune in the white label 2 years ago that i can't remember it's name honestly, but it's a true bomb)
- Crystal Wave (psy again, gr8 FX and sampling skills)
- Scott Project (love his hair!..lol.. best and toughest hard trance DJ out there. he's the best man to take the set up till sunrise, toasts club and finishes nicely!)
- Infected Mushroom (the owners of the psy scene nowadays..they pack it whenever they went)
- Marco V (amazing mixing skills, and proggy sound with stunning melodic samples entitles him as a master of a unique sound)
- Shpongle (the man in the shadow imo, but his productions r always on the top)
- Mik Chaos (founder of Chaos Unlimited UK, the man behind the psy scene in UK)
- Protoculture (they were on fire this year.. i should catch them live! amazing psy sound with pure pumping spiritual effect -on me-)
- Miika Kuisma and Misja Helsloot ( excavators. it's for them y psy has spread all over europe, those scandinavians owe it for psy, gr8 productions and remixes.. more into the progg psy sound than the blaring one, making them really unique in their trackselection that is very flexible among the genres - depending on the DJs around and the event)
- Alien Project (back to proggy psy this time, productions from this name crack! J00F's rmx for 'DJ, where r u?' rocks big time!)
- Human Blue (proggy, psychic, and artistic in all what it might mean.. newly signed for JooF recordings, this man is very promising!)
- Pos (gr8 progg!)
- Saiko-pod (^same)
- Tall Paul (the gallery's favorite DJ, one of the leading progg DJs in the scene. very friendly, few productions, but amazing skills...a toaster!)
- Deep Dish (those iranians r gr8! they just feed my lust for progg house)
- Sasha (the legend himself, i'd be surprised if i was the only to mention him, amazing!)
- Marcos (along with my Scott Project for my crush on hard trance)
- Prime Mover (same - though he sadly disappeared)
- Nick Warren (a freak!)
- Grayarea (break beat masters!)
- Burufunk (the only and most successful american DJs in the breakbeat world)
