Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

Seems noone noticed that poll has been published yesterday:

http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1119

10. Joris Voorn
09. Magda
08. Seth Troxler
07. Sven Vath
06. Dixon
05. Marcel Dettmann
04. Loco Dice
03. Luciano
02. Ricardo Villalobos
01. Richie Hawtin

Maybe we didn't care!! Two of the Djs Ion that list are amongst the worst I have ever seen!! And it had nothing to do with genre, or what I like, they were just very bad !!

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

I think it has more to do with the crowd that RA targets rather than it being aussie.

I find a lot of those djs pretty boring.

I would agree with that!! Both parts!!

Well, my personal top10 would be totally different, filled mostly with proghouse legends because that is the music that brings me most emotions. But well, RA audience likes click clack minimal/techno Although some german dj's are awesome even when playing click clack.

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

Yeah, silly isn't it??? What I probably find most disturbing about these polls is that skill doesn't seem to play much a part in it. And I do recognise and respect skill even if it isn't a genre I like very much !!

I just had another look , I'm amazed that Robert Babicz isn't there, he is a superb DJ and I would have thought would a have appealed to the RA audience. Once again not my genre.

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

the thing is tho if we did an MS poll it would be something like Digweed, sasha, hernan in the top 3 and i would still be dissapointed that my picks didnt get a look in.

^^True !

Hopefully we'd be fairly objective with other DJ picks .. the likes of Danny Howells and Luke Fair would probably do well ... Luke's result would then be at odds with the RA and DJ Mag polls !

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

There's defo some truth to the hipster thing. But for people slammin the list have you heard sets from these folks? Dixon & Seth Troxler have put out some great sets this year. Luciano is a party DJ in my opinion. I enjoy his sets for what they are. You'll always hear the same tracks for a year staright pretty much but his sets are fun imo. Hawtin has lost the plot imo and his sets bore the shit outta me, Magda too. I like Ricardo but haven't heard much from him this year. Just sayin theres a couple good DJ's on there

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

I was only really slamming two and one of them was Luciano. Went to the event for him, he phoned the set in and then not very well, trainwrecks the works. I reckon to get into the top ten in any poll you should be at least competent and he certainly wasn't that night. !!

Really ??? I saw Hawtin earlier this year , once again not my preferred genre, but he was very, very good !! Maybe I was just getting the technical aspects rather than what he could be expected to play!!

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

^ I reckon Hawtin & Magda u need to see live but their released sets just don't go anywhere imo. Seth troxler DIDI I'm tellin ya

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

We should do the [ms] Top 50 or something like that !!

Re: Resident Advisor DJ TOP100 2009

The poll is very techno vs minimal orientated - guess that's Aussie tastes.

Don't think that's it mate, it might have been started by an Aussie, but the editor at least based in Berlin, which probably accounts for it's leaning towards techno.

That would be great!
