attomic Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 May favs.TaucherOakieAcostaSasha and DiggersPadillaLast time I saw Taucher he snuck out of the booth unseen and appeared on the bar with a spot light on him. He had some crazy outfit on, pumped the crowd like hell. It was during his song "Bizarre". Killer show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrakis Posted July 13 Author Report Share Posted July 13 OK; how about we note a particular event in the recent past that blew our minds - OTHER THAN during the WMC (b/c that would be too easy). Mine has to be Sasha and Diggers @ Groove Jet back in January... the crowd was amazing - everyone was totally into the music, no punks, and Sasha and Diggers wandered about in the crowd (looking like they were having an amazing time) with much ease and little harassment. P.S. Gen - where did you catch Mr. Seaman recently? I was at the GJ show a few months ago which was quite nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolimit Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 No doubt, it was Anthony Pappa at Twilo a couple of months ago. Technically the second best set I've heard in a long time second to DT at Space back in March.Danny Howells is another one that blew my mind. I have yet to hear Craig & Lee. I guess I have to get my ass over to London and check out their infamous Tyrant night. Soon man... soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genevieve Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Yes, I too was a witness of the Seaman/Groovejet experience earlier this year. Yes, it was quite nice. My exceptional non-WMC experience has to be John @ Shadow a couple of years ago in fall. The place was not crowded and he played this unforgettable set.

arrakis Posted July 14 Author Report Share Posted July 14 Yo, Nolimit - I hear ya on going over across to London; that's where the shit is going off! But at least you're in NYC... gotta be second best! Lucky man to see Howells... what was his set like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolimit Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Howell's set was similar to his NF2 cd, but he can play anything in between.I heard him once before when he opened up for Deep Dish and played a real slow, mellow, and lush set. Nothing bangin, just something experimental. I don't think the crowd was up for it, but I sure got it. He stepped it up just a notch and then handed it over to Deep Dish. The other time was when he played on a Wednesday night. The main room is closed on that night. The djs play upstairs in the VIP room for a smaller, more intimate party. That's when he unleashed the goods. Mixing was tight and he played a stormer. Tracks I've never heard of. The energy in that room was unreal. To better describe his set, I have to say it's dark, deep, and emotional. Diggers picked the right guy to open for him at his 'bedrock' nights. I can't wait for his Nubreed CD to come out.Arrakis, when are you going to come up to NYC? We'll tear it up a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mp3some Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 I gotta say, witnessing all these guys LIVE has been more than overwhelming. My criteria is based not only on the music, which almost in every case is top-of-the-line, but mostly based on crowd teasing & pleasing. Well, here it is:1. Sasha (On the 3yr Anniversary Party @ Twilo) One of the best nights ever!! 2. Paul Van Dyk3. John Digweed (@the same night & venue...)4. Dave Seaman5. DJ Taucher 6. Deep Dish7. Jimmy Van M8. Sven Vath9. George Acosta10. DJ DanIt suddenly became a top 10, but thet've all been quite an experience in their very own way. While staying down in Miami for the summer, I'd love to see some of these guys playing in the Florida Heat!U guys shouldn't miss Danny Tenaglia and PVD down here @ Space!! Finally one of the BIG guys hits South Florida... Too bad summer is practically over already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
