Rolling "Should I see this DJ?" Thread

Pole last night: very nice, very nice (didn't hurt that the sound was also very nice), but it was Barbara Preisinger's set after that really shook up my soda, so to speak.

how about larry heard?

a-trak?

OF COURSE you should see Larry Heard, just because he's LARRY HEARD!!!

OF COURSE you should not see A-Trak, just because he's A-TRAK!!!

but but Dirty South Dance is awesome!

pick one: idjut boys or todd terje?

barbara preisinger is a fantastic DJ, not nearly as well known as she should be.

terje imo

but i fukken love that dude

Terje for sure.

really excited about MATIAS AGUAYO here in SF next saturday. also excited that i don't have to pay.

felix da housecat?

Yechhh!

Felix da Housecat =

hahaha, never heard any of his set so I didn't know if he's regarded that low.

what about richard sen (padded cell)?

I'm just basing this on FdHC's music, and from what I can tell his tastes, if that's your thing he might be great, for all I know, he's definitely not my cup of tea, though.

Anyone seen/can comment on Soul Clap?

I saw Felix DJ Centro-Fly during the height of Electroclash. It was pretty awesome. He played Our Darkness...

Felix's mix with Diddy last year was pretty incessantly banging. If that's his DJing style these days don't expect much downtime.

green velvet?

GV is loads of fun

should i go see lil louie vega at santos tonight? what should i expect to hear?

how was it, reyes? i'm guessing he played a lot of vocal house?

what do you think of this lineup? i'm only familiar with major lazer, and they're the reason i'm going. but i want to know about the others. thanks.

above and beyond
major lazer
spirit catcher (live)
rene amesz
chocolate puma

Above and Beyond are Paul Van Dyk with less cred. If that is hard to get your head around you should watch their NYE 2007 show in Rio on Youtube. I'm pretty sure I've seen Spirit Catcher but I couldn't tell you if they are any good.

DJs I have seen in the past month that are absolutely worth seeing:

Justin Martin & Christian Martin (dirtybird)
Michael Mayer (duh)
Paco Osuna
Derrick Carter (DUH)
Nadastrom
Classixx
Deathface (Trouble & Bass)
Tim Sweeney (always liked his radio show, but he's a shockingly good live DJ!)
DJ Spen

Sweeney is so much better live than the radio show would suggest

anyone knows how ramadanman sounds live? i suggest pretty banging and club-friendly?

joris voorn or juan maclean + tiga? (all dj sets)

the latter. joris voorn is kind of a bore live, imo.

also, just a note: i didn't get to see Matias Aguayo that night in march. i was about to head over to the club when i got a call saying my house had been robbed. apparently, it was fucking awesome.

ouch, sorry about your (double) loss :(

not DJ's but:

-glass candy
-chromatics

what do you think?

Never seen either 1 of them but would love to. One of them has new material iirc? Going to see Tensnake myself tonight. Should be great, right? Quite enjoy the 2cd mix. Anyhow, Hercules & Love Affair will be on first, and I loved them last summer.

benji b, anyone?

So, all set to see terrence Parker tonight in Liverpool, been excited for two months, but he's cancelled. Again. Should we still go to the party, a residents party that will either have a defiant 'party on' vibe or resemble a wake? Or should we head down the road for maurice Fulton for a fiver?

Here's hoping you went to see Maurice

alex barck?

xp. we supported our local talent. 'twas ok. next time maurice.

anyone has seen ellen allien? how was it? thinking of catching her but heard some bad things about her beatmatching.

idk - i wouldn't have particularly high expectation tho the last time i saw her (2009?) she was surprisingly ok

anyone ever seen mj cole? how was it?

Watching him now. Looks like he doesn't beatmatch at all.

booka shade dj set anyone?

booooring

tbf mj cole is more of an urban - ie hip hop / r&b - dj

you're right. he played 2step only 50% of the set. even threw some commercial house that I almost couldn't tolerate

ehm, late great, by "boring" did you mean mj cole or booka shade?

booka shade

It just me, or is it much easier, in the US, to throw 2step into r&b sets than dance sets? I find that they almost always kill the vibe in the latter. I at least have to be playing as much r&b as dance to play 2step at all.

well well well, dj harvey eh

is green velvet any good?

I thought his set was the best at Dekmantel Festival last year. So grinding yet still danceable.

What about Lil Louis?

martin buttrich?

I LOVE Benoit and Sergio's original material, how are their DJ sets? Seeing them tomorrow with Eats Everything and Dusky, who I don't know and a Spotify search seems like they're a much different kind of thing...

I've seen B&S play some pretty good sets and I've seen them clear the floor with terrible sets. Eats Everything and Dusky are always fantastic, though.

^^They were dope btw.

i feel like i should go see Cashmere Cat tonight, but also it seems like it would a whole thing.
