      DJ Tiesto

      He used to play and make very nice stuff (Obsession, Suburban Train etc.), but when the big crowd reached him after Flight 643 he lost it and went for the money .

              This bloke cant mix, cant program, bizarrely has the ability to make brilliant records sound crap. If you listen to the 1999-06-18 - Nikita, San Francisco set of his. He plays some records Sasha was playing at the time. They sounded mediocre when PVD played them and amazing when Sasha played them.

              I think Dave Haslem said it all in his book Adventures On The Wheels Of Steel (The Rise Of The Superstar Djs). Dave did an interview with Paul and went on to one of his gigs afterwards. His records where played in no particular order, he'd play the wrong side if the records accidentally, and didn't really have a clue.

                  I think I have downloaded every live set from these three and have tossed them out because I just cannot get into them. Tons and tons of people get them but I just don't.... I know if I saw them live it would be different but in-house, volume cranked up... nothing happens.

                    You could compile a list like that for most of the popular DJ's

                    Them 6 hour sets at Gatecrasher where shite. His sets didn't build or flow at all. He would play some of the same records 2 or 3 times in a night. It seemed to me that as long as he was banging it out hard everyone was happy.

                      Yeah, The reason I gove Steve Porter props is becasue of his set he spun in Miami at the State back in 2006 I think it was. That dude proved to me that he is on his own plane when it comes to DJ'ng. The whole place was blown away!!! I have never heard a set like that since. I agree that most of the sets that have come out since were just average, but that night was unforgettable. Hell even Digweed was there that night, and featured him on his Transitions show 2 weeks or so later. Insane set!

                        For me it'd be:

                        James Holden-I loved him in the past, but I don't get his recent productions. It's just too "out" there for me maybe? Not sure. o.O
                        Joris Voorn-I still don't get the hype.
                        Deadmau5-No comment.

                        That's all that comes to mind at the moment!

                          Re: DJs you dont get

                          LOL ... missed this thread while I was in ibiza - at least Sasha hasn't had the usual bashing people dish out.

                          What I can't understand that if people say they haven't liked what Diggers has played for the last 7 x years, then why bother to still listen to him and criticise ?

                          2002 was Bedrock's 4th Birthday ... it's the 11th this year - so get over it !

                          I would say he's been diverse over the years and always gone for new music - can't see why staying loyal to Charlie May is a bad thing ... his productions are still bloody good.

                          For my part Lee Burridge has bored me senseless every time I've seen him. Also Zabiela was a lot easier to listen to live when he was a warm up DJ and playing obscure b sides - but he is still a talent. I'm not a fan of Fanciulli at all either.

                          I've really never been able to get into the minimal sound or what passes for the fabric sound ... plus anything approaching electro makes my stomach churn.

                          This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                              Steve Porter is someone that you have to see live to understand, he will blow you away live! When you listen to his live sets you have to have seen him enough to understand what he is doing live. It is a nonstop booty-shaking mix of music and he mixes all genres seamlessly.
