aphelion Posted July 23 Author Report Share Posted July 23 Originally posted by doubledown11 That's what an "Ultimate DJ poll" would resemble.TEN!! Don't you get it? There can only be up to TEN CHOICES. Some people.By the way, you forgot Dave Ralph, David Morales, Armand Van Helden, Johan Gielen, Scot Project, ATB, Hex Hector, Rob Corbett, Judge Jules, Matt Darey, Mauro Picotto, Mario Piu, Seb Fontaine, Tall Paul, Crystal Method, Dave Clark, Guy Ornadel and Scott Bond. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.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.Unless you're dyslexic, I don't see how you could mistake "favorite" for "best."Squash the drama.

doubledown11 Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 I didn't forget anybody. And if you want to be technical....favorite...best...whatever...they still aren't mainstream.And as for not writing the names you supplied....I did end my list with "etc...etc" which means it keeps on going.Squash the drama? I didn't think there was any, just my opinion. But thank you for reminding me why I don't enjoy posting on this board...anytime someone posts an opinion that differs from the population, it's regarded as drama. That kind of thinking is narrow minded and obtuse.Now it's squashed.Peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJGaryMatthews Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 i couldnt pick just one, plus i havent heard all of those dj's live, but i went with jihnny vicious because all of the songs he produced and remixed are fucking amzing...ecstasy, hide u, trip to uranus, moments, where u r, etc. etc.....

cotoncandydream Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Don't even rank Draper with those guys that is just stupid. He has no business anywhere near turntables.My Votes are for Erick Morillo,Lil Louie Vega, & Roger Sanchez! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodust Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 ....can I first ask - how is Tiesto or Draper in that batch??? that's a discrace to the damn question?I'd have to say out of those Carl Cox - but how can you not even make mention of Jeff Mills or Richie Hawtin???

edpostal Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 I guess none of you newbies ever had to carry a few hundred 12 inches around the world.Im sure if you did you would change your tune.A dj should be judged on the way he selects the music to bring the vibe in a certain direction-not the medium he stores the music on.....I cant stand all of you high and mighty people judgeing something they themselves dont have the balls to step up and do themselves.come to a gig and carry my vinyl,then have to figure out the jigsaw puzzle that is every dance floor in the world then you can comment.you should to learn to walk in another mans shoes before judgeing him.Its no wonder the whols club scene is a shadow of what it was...its because of hangers on like yourselves.

nycsexkitten Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Originally posted by aphelion 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.......... hey i gotta dumb question... is that picture really you where the avatar is? and if it is, howd you do that?

charrails Posted July 25 Report Share Posted July 25 Originally posted by edpostal Trance is deadtechno is whackedJUNIOR VASQVEZ is GOD hee hee.....& NYC House will live forever!! Diva's rule!!lol j/k, but seriously, didn't you post something about negativity and 'hangers-on'?Trance isn't dead, its' changing....& Techno ROCKS!!!I'd like to check out Junior one day.....probably tears it up...would I be wrong to think he plays a lot of domestic house and diva vocals? I'm only going based on word of mouth and his productions/mix CD's........probably not my cup o' java, but I'd like to check out one of the biggest names in DJ'ng....but JEff Mills should be on this list somewhere...that would be my choice....Hawtin as well....Carl Cox may have been at the Area 1 show, but he didn't sell out like Oakey, he stayed true, so I wouldn't say that makes him cheesy/mainstream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphelion Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 Originally posted by nycsexkitten hey i gotta dumb question... is that picture really you where the avatar is? and if it is, howd you do that? Yeah, that's me. I took a snapshot with a webcam, cropped it to a perfect square, sized it to 50 by 50, and then (this was the hard part) added the transparency on the right side.It's only a temporary vanity thing. I just got the shades a week or two ago, so I'm still digging them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
