Best Dj Of 2003
<div class="IPBDescription">4 all the other techno/trance forumfans</div> Hi guys!
As many of you may all know, Im pretty much what Infinitum is to anime as I am to the various styles of techno music. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> or the maybe the closest thing to it.
And I know there are more of you fellow music fans in NS than just myself so this thread is for you.
My disclaimer If you dont like techno: Thats fine! Just remember that there are many sub genres out there from artists from all over the world, from all cultures and all nations. And they all sound very much different so find one that fits you. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> And if you still dont like it, well like I said thats ok. Listen to what you like <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Anywhoo I had to put that in there b/c the last 3 posts I made it always turned into a "your music sux debate" that got totaly off topic. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
now back to the post,
DJ Tiesto was named top DJ in the world (for the 2nd consecutive year) for 2003, big surpise huh? But yea he does kick lots of arse.
Knocking Paul Oakenfold and some other contenders down a notch,
So I was just wondering who you all thought should be top DJ for 2003.
(In reality I dont really know how they can pick one conisdering there are 11 types and as many as 26 sub genres of techno)
But it seems a trance style DJ won this year (which I agree with) His latest album just pwns
I would have liked to see my personal favorite ATB win but oh well.
Who were some of your favorite picks for 2003?
Oh yea and for all you peeps that listen to di.fm
there is a new e-station and music site comming up (site is still under construction but you can get a taste of how its gonna look)

Westbam (i think thats how u spell it) German Underground
Axel Konrad - Miracle Maker... woo gold
Da Hool - meet her at the love parade, but that got played to death
Dj Lithium
I'll re-edit my friend is a tekno god, he has like 300+ gigs of tekno (no joke)
DJ Dean - Play it Hard(DJs @ Work Mix)
Favorite song so far right there.
I'll retreat now

god i hate that song, for whatever reasons everyone in the US plays all the crappy stuff and then Over plays it to no end. Then everyone starts judging techno on stuff like sandstorm or opening rave theme song in Blade 1 lol and they think (not saying wendelkron does) that all techno is is some retpetitive, lacking all melody song with a bass beat.
other sub par examples that are over played in the US.
Eifel 65 "Blue" or Heaven by DJ Sammy.
I sugest you stop judging one genre by a bad example. There are crappy songs in every type of music lol listen to some good ones. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
"Let you go" or "Long Way Home" by ATB
or if you want something more not so "pansyish" as you put it,
"Never gonna Come back down" by BT
"Too many Times" by Kai Tracid
or anything by voodoo and serrano
or listen to a didffernt style itself.
Considering all the different styles sound completly and distinctly different.... listen to a trance song verses a hard house style song and if you cant tell the difference you must be deaf <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
PS and you do know that Paul Oakenfold does all types of music of all genres. Ready Steady Go, to the theme from Reqreum for a Dream "Zoo York", or the rap/R&V song Starry eyed Surprise. He style is all his own, <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
#1-Paul van Dyk, anyone? He mixes mostly other people's songs for his live shows, but his CDs are also excellent.
DJ Tiesto could be called commercial now, but who cares? He can get ANY crowd dancing, even a bunch of NS'ers at a convention. I'd be willing to bet money on that.
ATB-Excellent excellent stuff. ATB would be in my top 2 favorites
No fourth though... I guess Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones? I really can't say, honestly.
because the Juno one keeps changing all the time.
btw Paul Oakenfold + Elvis + winamp while NS = Ded skulks
Because he doesn't only mix techno, but he is one of the few DJ's that can succesfully mix techno with hiphop and rock... and that's very hard.
I haven't come further than mixing a few clubsongs, but I'm learning. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
You're not. If you've heard one Paul Oakenfold track, you've heard them all.
As for the best DJ nomination, if I can only name one person, I'd say Hecate. Her own albums tend to fall a bit short, but her DJing is impressive. If I can extend the nomination to a group of persons, I'd say the Berlin breakcore scene. Anybody can mix 4/4 songs without a hitch (hey, even I do that), but making a flowing mix of songs in 7/8, 5/4 and 3/2 tempos requires some skill. Also, breakcore is rather more interesting than generic trance.
Just download some of their mixes, hehe. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
oh ok sorry <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
I woudlnt go so far as to say trance is like pop. maybe more like the "eurodance" songs do, but meh, As long as ATB and John Digweed don 't sound like Britney Spears im good.
When that day comes Ill have to go the nearest <!--emo&::onos::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tiny.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tiny.gif'><!--endemo--> and poke him with stick until he eats me. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
wth?
tell me more...
who, and what kind of music ?!
so far ive not been much into trance, more breakbeat...
But I would really like to hear a good mix that isnt in 4/4.
Infected Musgroom, Growling Mad Scientists, Antiloop.
I'f your basing your opinion on the crap you hear on the radio stop.
