k_car Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Just curious since I'm not a DJ...Technically speaking, who in your opinion is the best DJ (eg - mixing, track selection, overall set, working the crowd, etc.) I'm not talking about scratching and shit like that.Also, would your opinion of the "best" DJ(s) be the same as your favorite DJ (eg - maybe not the best crowd pleaser, but he plays your favorite types of music)? ------------------ *************************"Strangers are just friends waiting to happen." - Old Sage Twilo************************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ reign Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 I think Jeff Mills is #1 technically too... Also high marks for Carl Cox not because he's flawless, but because of the difficulty level of things he tries... yea he'll screw up sometimes, but most of the time he hits a home run.... the man is always swinging for the fences - 3 TT's, double speed mixes, you name it Originally posted by spoonyd:For technical skills, the 3TT techno guys win hands down.
