GARETH EMERY comment:
Resume, Paul Van Dyk s greatest because he played your track....Are your fucking me?"In 2002, I sent Paul van Dyk a CD of my first track, unmastered. Next thing, someone rang up and said van Dyk played it live on radio at Nature One, a big festival in Germany. That track was 'Mistral'....
Tiesto
SANDER VAN DOORN comment:
Poor Sander Van Doorn.......From the moment I started producing, he picked my music up and promoted it – he's one of the DJs who got me where I am today. He sells out stadiums, but never comes across as big-headed or arrogant..."superdeepsexyhypergroovalicioustrpfunkhousevi bes"Comment

Re:
That list is too convoluted with overlapping genres. Perhaps, if it was seperated into categories, accurate choice(s) could be achieved.

Re: Who is the greatest DJ of all time?
By accepting that we're all different in every way we are influenced, the period of time we came of age, our particular personality in relation to music and a million other factors that make anything as subjective as artistic performance something you can't compare between one another, never mind different time periods so just enjoy what you enjoy and stop making the whole world a fuckin pop chart. Is Larry Levan the greatest? Tiesto may think not. But they are simply people who put records on in clubs for fuck's sake. One may have influenced everything you've ever done or you may have just gone out clubbing for a certain period of your life and enjoyed everything that came with it and that's all, so fucking what?

Re: Who is the greatest DJ of all time?
i think it's a more objective take on the dj's career. i would have otherwise voted oakenfold since he basically pulled me back into electronic music. but given that his productions have been rather poor and his inability to mix has become more observed over the last decade, it's hard for me to say he's goat. i think the goat needs to have consistency in rocking the venues they play (i.e. not having off nights), the ability to play a wide selection of tunes (instead of, say, only the records on your own label or your own mixes back to back to back), a stream of singles and mix compilations (if you're putting out a compilation every few years, then wtf right?), and have had a strong part in the polularization of edm in general. (and, I'd say, been around at the top of your game for at least two of the last three decades as well - greatest of all time, if you think about it, means you've also been in the scene a long time. not a johnny-come-lately dj. at least that's how i look at it).
i think you could find maybe 10 -15 dj's who fit that profile that nobody can really argue about. (some of which, ahem, aren't on that list). i think from there you can start making subjective points.
whatev tho, as someone said above, 'oh look another list!you could put an Emfire release on for 2 minutes and you would be a sleep before it finishes - Chunky
it's RA. they'd blow their load all over some stupid 20 minute loop of a snare if it had a quirky flange setting. - Tiddles
