aphelion Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 I had to narrow this down to 10, so I left out a lot of European and domestic talent out. I chose the ones that are more "mainstream" as, inevitably, they would be the ones that get the most votes anyway.Notably missing are trance DJ's (Dave Seaman, etc), house DJ's (Steve Lawler, etc) and the Euro crowd (Mauro Picotto, etc). Deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowchaser Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 all of those DJS are mainstream except S&D and PVD. . .Lawler and Seaman are no way mainstream either. . .Cox is mainsteam already cause he's doing that awful Area One tour, which is done by Moby. . .and Moby is way beyond commercial. . .Tiesto is mainstream. . .the dude spun at Webster Hall. . .Junior is mainstream...he remixes almost song that comes out...guarantee you he did a remix of the teletubbies too. . .Deep Dish is commercial too. . .they remix every song too. . .they remixed N*sync for pete's sake. . .mainstream = commercial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowchaser Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 oh yeah, Tenaglia isn't mainsteam either, but he still sucks. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaP Posted July 22 Report Share Posted July 22 Nice sunglasses?! Anyway I picked S&D mainly for the memories...I like DT's style & there's probably something about each DJ you chose that I also like but...years of Twilo memories make S&D my favorite so far...ask me in a few years...

mugwump Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 But I've been "moved' by many of those DJs on the list at different times and each for different reasons..(I'm more into Adam freeland and funky breaks these days)but...If I had to give a list of MY favorite Trance Djs (which didn't make it in your poll) I'd have to throw in: Timo Mass, Danny Howels, Anthony Papa and Sanders Kleinenberg..NOT as Supa DJ status as S&D but I DEF think up and coming..(However my vote of your poll goes with Carl Cox..brotha rips it up!)

aphelion Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 Originally posted by twiloman i know oakie is mainstream, i still love tranceport though...Oakie is mainstream, but I don't think he's anybody's favorite anymore... As of this writing, 27 votes and no single DJ has more than 4. Lots of split opinion.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzojournilist Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I picked Carl Cox b/c it's the only Techno DJ up thereMy personal choice would be Jeff Mills though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassa Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Oakenfold is great...and so is Timo Maas...and this Russian DJ PPK...and Darude...and so forth..but I chose Tiesto...even though I think Sasha and Digweed are great too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Who is your favorite mainstream DJ?" I explained in the post why I had to cut down my 50-DJ-strong list to 10.Originally posted by back2basics- No Mills, Hawtin, Howells, Lawler??!?!?!?!?

doubledown11 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I wasn't aware that these are mainstream DJ's. I think this poll needs to be re-worked.Tenaglia, Sasha, Diggers, Howells, Lawler, Kleinenberg, Hawtin, Wink, Seaman, Emerson, Debo, Ashley Casselle, D:Fuse, Cass, DJ Dan, Deep Dish, Humate, Aquaviva, Pappa, Jimmy Van M, Sean Cusick, Garniet, Mixmaster Mike, Lawrence, Scott Henry, DJ Icey, DJ Rap, Odi, Futureshock, Danny Rampling, Nick Warren, Carl Cox, Max Graham, Charles Feelgood, Jody Wisternoff, Lee Burridge, Tony De Vit, Fergie, Lisa Loud, Lisa Lashes, Creamer, Maas, Lucian Foort, DJ Craze ...etc...etc....That's what an "Ultimate DJ poll" would resemble.And besides with all the genres out there, it's impossible to say who's best. You're telling me Icey would be better than say Pappa? How can that be? Howells doesn't do breaks and big beat and vice versa.And none of these mofos are mainstream. Like someone said before...mainstream= commercial. Only Oakie's been on MTV...and we all know he sucks ass anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
