Favourite DJ: Discuss

[THRILLHO]

A guy like Mixmaster Mike will blow you away every time with his skills, no doubt. But he couldn't hope to create the soundscapes that Shadow or Krush are fuckin with.

I like the turntablists a ton, seen MMM twice, had a bunch of old DMC tapes and even fucked around with some Technics in the past (once upon a time), but musically I'm more into DJ Shadow.

It's like Roc Raida can make you go "OOOOOOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIIIT!" when he cross-fades with his nose; whereas Shadow can make you think "How the fuck did we get here?". Or something like that.

I've never really heard much other than MMM, so imma go with him (y)

It's like MMM is a performance artist who can't create an album to save his life, whereas Shadow can make a dope album and translate that into an unfeasibly solid performance.

[DigitalB]

Ritchie Hawtin is No.1

[abcdefz]

Favorite DJ.


Hmmm....... hmmmmm.....



Alan Freed. (y)

[kaiser soze]

Ritchie Hawtin is No.1

whoa, a richie hawtin fan

I've seen him 6 times, own most of the plastikman collection on vinyl, and dig him too

there are so many sick dj's out there, might I add I'm not too shabby myself

[roosta]

Terry Wogan

[jackrock]

It's from that episode of the simpsons where Millhouse is entering his name to play brainstorm as Thrillhouse but there wasn't enough room so it comes up as Thrillho.
oh haha i knew about thrillhouse, not that it came out thrillho lol :D

[BroomHead]

Yea, I'm still confused how exactly he made endtroducing. I think it was made entirely of samples yet it sounds like he was running an entire orchestra. I guess that's why it's so great.

[Nygel]

production wise, dj dangermouse i seem to be most interested in, but scratchin im gonna give it to mix master... also shouts to DJ Z-Trip and DJ P

[THRILLHO]

Terry Wogan

Nice try. (y)

[Mr. Ess]

I gotta agree that MixMaster is pretty wicket as far as scratching goes, but I've bought 1 or 2 of his albums and, now they gather dust on the ol shelf.

Check out Kid Koala (http://www.ninjatune.net/ninja/artist.php?id=8) . His output is pretty scant (much like DJ Shadow) but his stuff is hilarious. I've seen him twice and it's pretty sick how he works 3-4 decks at once. All his recorded stuff is straight from the vinyl, no computers or samplers or even sequencers as far as I've heard, just an old 8 Track recorder and some 1200's. THAT is quality.

Also check out X-Ecutioners, DJ Andy Smith (http://www.djandysmith.com/) (sick mixes for download) Q-Bert's always kinda fun to kick, and a bunch of crap like Coldcut offa the NinjaTune lable. Mr Scruff's a pimp. (y)

Kid Koala mixed Deltron 3030's 'Things you can do' instrumental with the 'So Watcha Want' acapella. (y)

There ya go. I saw him do that mix, it was amazing.
He did all the DJ'in for Deltron and I think he did alot of work with Dan The Automator on other stuff. I'm not sure cuz they always use rediculous alias's.

I forgot one major dude. RJD2. He knows his shit, not so much as a dj, but as one of those all-round types. worthwhile investigation there.

-ess

[icy manipulator]

are we talking just hip hop dj's? if so fucking Scratch Perverts are wicked

but otherwise, Sasha, Satoshi Tomiie or Sander Klienenburg would be my favourites

oh and i'm seeing Carl Cox this weekend too :D :D :D

[DigitalB]

Danny Tenaglia is another favourite. I love tribal house.

[gaselite]

Shadow without a doubt. Apart from his amazing music, I also enjoy his thoughts on music in general.

[Guy Incognito]

House music - Carl cox - no question
Hip Hop - The scratch perverts are quality.

Bangzilla is hella ill and Anti theft device is as well. Both are way ahead of their time. Shadows dope, but MMM has way harder, grimey-er beats with WAY more scratching. His shit is from planet Zectar, duh.

That's a real polite way of saying it sucks.

The scratching is to be expected, but the beats are rubbish. All the same drum sample on Bangzilla, just patterned differently. (n)

RJD2 is good times. Have you heard Talib Kweli over 'Take the Picture Off'? Real Good.

[The Notorious LOL]

qbert

[ScarySquirrel]

It's all about Z-Trip.

[DigitalB]

I have been listening to my old American House cd's.

Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Roger Sanchez, Angel Moraes.

[icy manipulator]

[j-dog]

qbert
wtf? why didn't someone mention q earlier? he's possibly the best turntablist in the world. ok, mmm taught him lots of stuff but q took it, tweaked it, made it his own. he's the shit. babu's pretty amazing too. props should be given to grand wizard theodore also. for inspiration and pioneering moves.

buck 65 - yes, primarily known for mc/production but anyone who's seen him live will know that rich has skills.
