Chris M · #1 08-31-2005, 03:08 AM

it's that time again. dj mag's poll for 2005 top dj's c'mon people lets stop the craptacular reign of tiesto.

at the moment, i'm leaning towards the following picks based on their live sets:

1. james zabiela- sick beats layered in a scratching meltdown.

2. deep dish- always consistant and solid.

3. satoshi tomiie- evil and progressive.

4. nick warren- caught me off guard, dropped a slamming mix of joris voorn to close the set. shots from the gig: http://nickwarren.info/Gallery/index...alon_LA_090705

i luv luke slater, but this dude seems to be missing in action these days. can't remember him touring the u.s. since 2000 or releasing any new material for that matter within a two year span. come back luke!!!

im surprised aphex twin never makes it. his dj sets have to be the most muppetmanic-banging sets i have ever heard.

im taking sasha on the top not because of his djing...but because he manages to mix/remix things live straight from a computer..

i know richie's been doing that for years and stuff...but because sasha has a wider audience, i think he'll take the top spot.
