I forgot the best live DJ I ever saw (and Id had a few)
Jacques Lu Cont
"Les rhythms digitales"
- konspiracy0
dj shadow + cut chemists "brainfreeze" mix.
this is still amazing and pretty flawless.
beats the hell outta sasha, oakenfold, warren and clarke etc - lets see them cut beats together like that.- they cant!
overpaid dj's with crap skills that please the poor masses.

it's kinda pointless to compare dance dj's with turntablists. both are talented but they do different things, its a misnomer they're both called dj's.
oakenfeld is booty tho.
- konspiracy0
i suppose there is a difference between turntablists and dance dj's so it maybe isnt fair to compare them.
turntablists have skill.
anyone and their dog can be a dance dj - all it takes is a bit of basic beatmatching and fiddling with your cut knobs.;)

yeah that's true... good dance dj's are actually producers, not just dj's.

Dont start catagorizing please.
A DJ is a DJ. He stands behind a mixing desk or turntables and plays mostly prerecorded music.
The basic skills involves building up an atmosphere throughout the set and how they respond to the crowd.
Its simple in definition but hard in practise.

true dat.
but the reason we categorize them is cos we can't compare them.

(Fingathing - Grand Central Records)* DJ Shadow

kpl, the reson you dont compare them is because you dont like a certain type of music and prefer another. They are still all Djs.
for example if you compare Pete Tong or Judge Jules to say DJ Shadow or DJ Hype then you would probably find Pete Tong and Judge Jules are crap, simple as that.

DJ Hype. Nice. : )

no dude, you're making assumptions, and it's not nice to tell people what I'm saying. I can do that, thanks.
Putting them in different categories is supposed to stop the comparisons, not encourage them. I'm losing your argument here but it seems you're saying the different categories are so I can rank them above another. That is the opposite of what I'm doing. I can't put Shadow over Pete Tong cos they're doing different things... it's like comparing the Big Bopper with John Coltrane. I can compare Oakenfold with Tiesto and say Tiesto would kill Oakenfold, who is booty, because they're both doing the same things.
