Interesting article on RA, discovered courtesy of Dave Seaman's numerous Facebook updates :

So which is the most memorable warm-up act you've experienced? In the recent past I'd have to say JVM at 10.5, was such a pleasant surprise and he teased the crowd perfectly, so when Diggers came on it was almost like....err....an orgasm

I remember Burridge doing a great warm-up for Sasha in Dubai in 2003, Desyn Masiello really getting the crowd into the mood before Nick Warren in 2005....and although I've never seen him live, I would KILL (yes, KILL ) to go back in time, walk into Twilo early doors and see Sean Cusick weaving a slow, druggy, hypnotic spell over the club before you know who show up

his delta heavy in 2002 (NYC) was just unbelievable. Even when he opened in Centro that year for Diggerz was surreal.

Re: The Warm Up DJ

We had someone post this in my local forum yesterday, ending up pointing how lucky we are with all the incredible locals who warm up. We really can't get JVM here on a regular basis to warm up But our guys are great!! Gavin Keitel and Rollinconnection in particular !!! But the list is very, very long,

Re: The Warm Up DJ

My vote goes towards Jimmy Van M and Danny Howells - back in the day Hernan was the ultimate when he used to open up for Oakey.

Re: The Warm Up DJ

Hernan still does the occasional warmup, for people like Digweed ! See, no ego
