[slaanesh]

Wet Musik: I don't think you can include DJ's and producers in the same list. The two are completely different kettle of fish. But I guess we could have done without local and international distinctions.
Decimal Dan: Johan Bacto is a real good pick, I seem to have forgotten him under the pressure of picking all these artists.

 

[Shadow]

too many to name, but some i can think of rite now:
Storm
Bukem
Plump DJ's
progression
Sleepa...
------------------
...and that's why i fly on my own now! No one to impress, depress, out best or digest.

 

[dr rico yi]

I find it interesting that only three people's lists were not completely made up of techno/hard house/trance djs/acts. Dont you guys get bored of that constant four to the floor stuff?
Anyway on the Nik Fish tip...as a person he's lame, but he can mix when he tries and every so often his track selection is good.

miss apple, please tell me why nik fish is bad?
Im just curious to hear different opinion.
May be you teach me the real ways?

 

[cann]

I will explain why i pointed mr nik fish as one of top DJs: somehow, every time he starts playing i feel very different, very charged and start absolutely going off with crowd

I base my judgements purely on how i feel when hearing him play.
If you have different thoughts on him , then lets find it out here

No we do not get bored dr rico yi - be nice and don't bag others choices.
Faves
Carl Cox
Paul van Dyk
Cosmic Baby live
Oliver Lieb live(not DJing -that kinda sucked)
Jeff Tyler circa 96
(Underworld would be in there if I had actually seen them live and not just heard the CD)
