djinnom Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Errr...Danny Tenaglia. He's the only person to have successfully keep a party going for years. JV had his chance when the Roxy was renovated and he was the resident. He failed to keep the party going. In fact, I'm sure we can pull a whole mess of threads from this board around that time where a whole bunch of you were complaining how cheesy JV was and how he should be replaced.I think there are 3 types of DJ's.1) A DJ who plays popular tracks that everyone knows. Those that play the big hits from the radio. They are typically shunned by the music community but loved by the radio kids.2) The pseudo underground DJ that really doesn't have his own sound so plays the underground hits after it is proven the track is successful by other DJs. It's rare to hear something new from them. They keep themselves and the crowd going by pumping out hit after hit. These types of DJ's usually do well for the mass population but there types of DJ's are also a dime a dozen.3) Genre benders who consistently introduce new tracks that become popular due to them introducing it to the genre. These types have a specific "sound" to them, sometimes making it hard to draw a larger crowd. Few are successful in this category but those who succeed reap great rewards (think PvD, AvB, Sasha, etc).JV is in category 2. But I also admit, he's very good for that category.

Very true...and how much do your productions count when people are calling you a great DJ? People like sanchez, morillo etc, even if they were barely passable as DJ's (not true) they would still have so much props just because of their production credits they would still be some of "NY's GREATEST DJS!!!!"Its impossible to rank DJs...its all opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJGaryMatthews Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 ah christ. JV is a great dj, one of my favorites, but how can u say any one dj in new york, or anywhere for that matter is the best? with so many diferent styles, how can u compare? as far as new york trance dj, vicious is probably the best, in fact he's one of the only. but there's so many different dj's playin so many different styles. the whole dj ranking thing is bullshit and a popularity contest. every dj is goodm they all have talent. how can u say one guy deserves to be #1 and someone else is #2, or #102. wuts the difference?im not saying JV is the best in new york, im not saying he's not the best in new york. im just a fan, and as far as im concerned he's good. im not gonna try to place him anywhere among all the other dj's. one nite im gonna go hear vicious, another nite im gonna go hear DT, then a guest european dj. they all play different types and i like all types. and i like very dj for a different reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he did, then you are right...there's a whole mess of DJ's with various styles that JV wouldn't be able to touch. I mean, if ppl like JV, that's fine, I like him at times too.

I guess it all depends on what you define as "best". It's not like we have stats we can track as in sports players. But common sense would make it the amount of ppl that go to see a dj specifically, day in and day out, year after year, all over the world would put a DJ up in the running for being the best at what they do. I know many fall into this category in the world, but DT and until Earth died, Junior Vasquez, would fit into this category for NYC. Hell, I don't even like DT's music but I can recognize he is one of the best worldwide for the genre.I know there's a lot of great DJ's here in NYC, but I wouldn't be able to classify the DJ who spins in his basement to 12 of his friends as someone who would be recognized as such no matter how much skill he/she has (not to say any of the names you mentioned are in this category).

todd0076 Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 Calling Johnny Vicious the best DJ in NYC means that you don't go out much, OR you are just ignorant. Though I MUST say in Johnny's defense that he has been spinning in NY for quite a long time, i.e. opening for Junior Vasquez back in day!! I have heard old recordings of Johnny spinning and he was fantastic!!! But the GARBAGE CHEESE that he plays now, puts him in the DJ Skribble category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the GARBAGE CHEESE that he plays now, puts him in the DJ Skribble category Just as I can't tell you whothe BEST DJs are I alsocan't tell you who the WORSTDJs are...(Though I've heard plenty thatmade me leave the dance floor ASAP)One man's cheese is another man'sGOLD. I stopped listening to Trance halfway through the Twilo years..it just didn't do it for me...Lasttime I heard Johnny I just couldn'tget into it. In fact I hated it. ButI'm sure others on that floorwhere dazzled! All good..THREE MORE DJs THAT HAVE BLOWNMY MIND: Sara Walker (Bad ass..canflip from D&B to Breaksin a heart beat..)Billy Nasty (cuzhe's just naasty!)2 many DJs(OK these are TWO guys..Listening to them is in a categoryon it's own..Anyone that canthrow in a Dolly Parton trackand mix it to Royksopp intoVitalic into Iggy pop andhave THOUSANDS dancing to itis insane!)
