Just a few…
Bad Boy Bill
Armin Van Buuren
Ferry Corsten
Richie Hawtin
Andy C
Richard West does still play. I saw him in Atlanta a few weeks ago and ended up hanging out with him at a house party afterwards. He’s incredible…definitely on my list.
My list in no particular order:
Mr. C/Richard West - one of the best I’ve seen live.
Sasha - hit or miss, but when he’s on, he’s on.
John Digweed
Richie Hawtin - mostly for technical aspects…
Erick Morillo
Paul Oakenfold - in the '90s. He doesn’t even try anymore.
Roger Sanchez
Jazzy Jeff
AM
Bad Boy Bill
Ferry Corsten - probably the best of the old Trance guard…at least as far as still giving a sh*t.
Gareth Emery - probably the best of the new Trance heads.
Steve Porter - wow.
Kaskade
ATB
Derrick May
John ‘00’ Flemming
Eric Prydz - when he’s not spinning all-out electro
Satoshi Tomiie - great when he’s not boring me to death
Carl Cox
Nick Muir
Gabriel & Dresden
Jeff Mills
Daft Punk (yes…they DJ’d)
James Zabiela - when he’s not boring me to tears, he’s awesome…and technically great.
Tiesto - almost solely for ISOS 1-3
Underworld
Nero - I’m not a huge fan of dubstep, but their take on it is a lot of fun
[Insert required list of the founders of NY and Chicago house]
And the people I know IRL or from forums who deserve to be on my list:
The Penguin - only psytrance DJ i’ve ever liked
Marc Stokes - One of the best I’ve heard at funky/UK house
Will Marshall - great psybreaks…and they only guy I know who started on Ableton that doesn’t suck.
Brendan LaBonte - the best Trance DJ you’ll never hear of
Habersham & Numinous - well…most of the time.
what about mike slammer
