And I'm talking about ones that most of us have heard of, here. Make a list every one of you, please. I myself confess to actually never having seen a dj spin live, at least ones that are somewhat famous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
absolutely none at all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the most of the pioneers were live here, djing is not flexible enough for me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I`ve seen Carl Cox vs Slam,there the most famous DJ`s I`ve seen--prefer seeing musicians play live than play a mix set [I`d rather choose what music goes on]. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too many to list but the one i've seen lately who shits on anybody i've seen for years was Alex Patterson. seriously, if you get a chance, go to see this guy, amazing, pure party tunes all the way. |
||||||||

Um... I saw Reprazent one time. They all had turntables. Does that count? Oh, and SUV played a 2 hour long DJ set before they took the stage. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I'd MUCH rather see a dj mix a set than see a musician play live. Simply because live concerts are too predictable. You know what's going to be played there already, and although it may still be enjoyable, it is certainly predictable. DJ sets, however, are always consistently danceable, and you never have any idea what they'll be spinning. Generally you won't even know WHAT their spinning, but does it really even matter? |
||||||||
|

Dude, what are you talking about? What do you mean you know what someone will play? Are you a clairvoyant? Predictable? Eh? I mean, If you go to see a house or a drum 'n' bass or trance DJ, you can say that to an extent, you'll know what to expect but then again, that's just the style... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you go and see Motorhead, then, sure, you'll more or less know what to expect but that is the case also with Grooverider, innit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I mean, if I'm going to see a concert by an actual band/group, I know what they're going to play: THEIR OWN MUSIC. And the genre of music they spin itself is not all. The consistency, how well and smoothly it flows, and how fast the dj does his overall sets, are all very important, and that means that every dj set is different in it's own special ways. And plus djing never gets old. A band could not make a living by just touring year after year, all over the globe. That wouldn't work. But that's a dj's job, and a good dj will never really die out or go away, like too many bands do. |
||||||||

Mate, you're quite prejudiced. Go out and watch more jazz. Go and see some free improv. Hell, go and see some punk rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
"What dj's have you seen live? " sorry, but that's a complete oxymoron. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw A Tribe Called Quest, but I don't know who the dj was. I saw the Beastie Boys, but Mix Master Mike was not there... bummer... |

DJ RAP???? DJ DWAM?? SASHA?? RAWK ON!!! And ummm Meho Krljic: umm, I don't understand what got you upset in the first place. I just said I'd prefer going to dj mixes rather than concerts, and I stated my reasons why. Sure, if you see Grooverider, you know pretty much what you're going to get, but you sure as hell don't know what it's going to be like. . . And what am I prejudiced against, anyway? Core: I'm pretty sure my question was not an oxymoron. It wasn't self-contradicting, I was asking you people: what dj's have you seen [perform mixes] live? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
DJ SWAMP?? (I meant) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Dylan & Facs, in the US no less, and i dont live in California or New york, i feel lucky to even have seen someone from the UK. i love Drum & Bass. Ive seen Q-bert & Dj Craze, but not together. DJ Dres, he Dj's for Acey alone and Abstract rude when they play live. and a bunch of rave/house Dj's |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SASHA IS A WICKED DJ! I USED TO SEE HIM BACK IN THE DAY AT SHELLEYS! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
. . . surely other people here have seen dj's before. . . ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think what core means is that you're seeing someone play records (that have obviously already been recorded and hence are not live), so it's not live in the live instruments sense of the word. meep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh. . . I see. . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh. . . I see. . . but what I meant by live is actually seen a dj spinning in real life. We've all got dj mixes by the famous guys on cd, but not all of us have seen any of these guys dj for real. |
||||||||

dj shadow (fucking amazing) josh wink- he was djing at a large festival, and he was in this tent with strobe lights etc... and some girl had a seizure. He couldnt see her...and people were trying to tell him, but he couldnt hear, so he just kept on playing. She was taken away on stretcher. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why would he have stopped djing just because she had a seizure?? That would ruin the whole event! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok maybe that was a really dumb thing to say. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because the lights and music was what caused it man. if he turned it off, she might have been able to come down from it |
||||||||

i saw kid koala |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i get you dude...i've never seen a big name dj live. id like to see andrew weatherall or richard fearless maybe. i usually just think of djs playing background music for something - obviously thats not the case in quite a lot of instances/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
djs playing background music for something. . . ha!!! If you ever see John Digweed or his partner Sasha spin live, you'll change your mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just read this thread again and i have to bump it up im afraid. because basically, at the end of the day, a dj is just playing other people's records. discuss/flame/rebuke/rant/go for your life.... |

Kid Koala Nightmares On Wax Up, Bustle & Out DJ Shadow DJ Swamp DJ Premier The World Famous Beat Junkies DJ Babu DJ Numark & Cut Chemist DJ A-trak and lots of other shite too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know core it depends on the DJ. I'm not a huge fan of scratch DJs but I've seen Kid Koala a number of times and he's really musical - he's cutting up and making tunes on the spot. You can't group DJs into one big group. They belong in two: Great ones & Shit ones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed. but there are so many shit ones, especially all the ibiza-types who are huge wealthy international names (while the musicians whose records they are spinning are still unknown bedroom-producers with office day jobs.) |
||||||||
|

Just saw DJ Shadow when he was in town. Working his magic over 4 turntables. He was spectacular. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sasha & Digweed Paul Oakenfold Some other local guys that you've never heard of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
core what do you think of John Digweed and Sasha, the two best dj's in the world. They're famous, HIGHLY respected, they don't do any lame scratching, and they're gods. I don't think you have enough respect for dj culture in general. It takes alot of preperation, skill, and concentration to lay down a good set. Guys like Digweed and Sasha are incredible because they truly LOVE what they do, they LOVE djing, and they devote their lives to it. DJ's like that are very rare, but they deserve all the success that they get. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yes and Deep Dish are also two I have nothing but respect and endless love for. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bump. . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what? because they are good at choosing a selection of records to play to people? my dad can do that. |
