PinkFloyd40 Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 who do you think the best mixing dj's are...in no particular order:dave seaman - layers progressive in a tech-like fashion.. amazingcarl cox - 3 decks and still won't catch a bass cliphybrid - ok so its more then one dj, but regardless, they go in and out of breaks throughout there entire sets which is very difficult to dos & d - once again not a single dj, but both have amazing mixing skillsdanny howells - man is simply insane... from deep house to breaks to techno he does it all.. and FLAWLESSLY...

djshaned Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Sasha is probably one of the cleanest mixers i've heard...Danny Howells is pretty good as well....definitely add all genres in his sets...and does it clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangelid Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 i think hard techno djs are the best to hear and listen to mix. IMO, they are the only djs that rampantly cut songs in and out [3mins here, 2 mins there, intro outro], take out basslines mids hi's like crazy, always fuckin with shit, and actually take turntablism to the max. If you disagree with me check out a night at Baktun for Tronic Sessions and listen to the headliner. He/She will more than likely destroy the club into pieces. Dylan Drazen is my fav. w/John Selway in close 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met Datcyde a few years back, but aside from him, haven't been up to speed with all the new jungle cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
