Local DJ version of say something nice

[Matt Sanborn]

Ok so I thought this would be a good thread back here- screw the plur, but lets big up some of our fellow djs. Who locally do you have some positive feedback for?

One thing I noticed when moving here from out west- is that no matter how the "scene" is currently doing- for the most part a vast majority of the local dj population are extremely supportive of one-another, and most of us are friends. This isnt always the case-in places where competing for gigs is a much bigger issue it seems there is a lot of bad mouthing and disrespect between jocks.

So- pick someone, you dont have to be a dj, but please keep this more technical and less emotional, and say something nice bout em.

anyone says negative shite gets edited- fair warning.

I'll start-

Bioteknik- From when I first started working with this guy a few years ago I have watched him totally transform himself from a noob dj to a name many can recognize in this area. His skills are improving every week- so Chris- big up to you bro.

[meatbeatjack]

While i've never had the chance to hear him live, going off his mix cd, Brian Adrenaline has awsome taste, great mixing skills too. i wanna open for the guy some day ;-)

[beth]

cortex always gets the crowd moving, and he's super nice too.

punkassmark for his skills, no doubt.

[iminxtc]

dammit

[iminxtc]

:buttsex: your nu skool break fu is strong

buster... i passed out and sprung back into action when u spun :smooch:

roman... hangoverhell was :badkitty:

yes indeedy matt, FUNK is FUNK :bigpimp:

fred fucker... progressive is so sexy :snog:

suneel and LXG, both CDs are broken from overplay :raveon:

andrew... epic trance owns me. you had me dancing til noon at erics! thanks to john for that night too :D

psycofly... some of tracks left me speechless... i was only left to do the "drum n bass dance" and shake my ass GOODTIMES :yes:

props to il lusion, cortex and peake! :banana:

excited to see barret and ray spin :lessthanthree:

:woot: local Djs rawk!!!1

[Paxus]

i guess i'll just do a couple fast shouts:

joe kopasek - man is the king of breaks, knows his shiite, has a great personality, and knows how to tear it up behind the decks

ivan marz - what can i say, house genius

7up - not super local to here, but amazing dj. had me dancing at 8 in the morning, thats a feat.

phill schaefer - gonna be up there someday, can chill it or bring it funky

tim resistor - fudge, like you didnt know the mans got mixing down to a tight science

tzeech - god of bmore techno

on the side, props to zonklift, pez, soular, rouz, erik, kyun, decepticon, pazuzu and some others. w3rd - &rew

[Matt Sanborn]

Joey Muniz- kid rocks mad turntablism with EDM.

Bobby Jae- some of the smoothest mixes in town- homie has more flavor than kool aid.

East Coast Boogiemen- Ken and Juan have done wonders for underground house. They have skills most djs only dream about?

[empath]

Spiggy -- it took him 2 or 3 gigs to get there, but he's really taken this Cubik gig and made it his own.
Phil - Really diverse musical taste, but is always on point.
Tails - Probably has the most break-out potential of any dj on the board, superb taste in music and more technically adept than most local prog djs...
Zartan - Really, just for that one song he plays and the attic parties..
Mojo Jones - Great local producer--- OOOOH YEAH...
James - Sour Milk just owns me...
John C (Zion) - Another great local producer -- if he would just fucking finish a song...

i probably missed somebody..

[zartan]

kris murphy: most underrated local house dj and introduced me to the whole EDM scene and taught me how to DJ. not to mention, smooth as butter on the decks.

[LadyJ]

Wickity - A great guy, so I always looked forward to hearing him. When I did, he knocked me on my ass! I've never seen so many people battling for a spot on the floor during Alias and I'm getting hooked on his radio shows.

Cortex - One of the few non-DnB DJs who can make me dance ALL night!

Joey Muniz - The King of weekly residencies:wink: I don't make it out to hear him much, but I get to hear plenty while I'm attempting to nap:shady: Is there a genre that he doesn't do?

BobbyJae - I LOVE me some hard, dirty jungle, but you bring my genre into relaxing mode too. I am impressed again and again at home you can create an atmosphere that is laid back enough for people to sit back and chat but moves enough to get asses on the floor. Props!

Roman - House party extraordinaire! I'm waiting for the day you get a tad too overzealous and bounce your head off of the decks:wink:

Spiggy - You weren't my cup of tea, but you have won me over. I still blame you for missing Donald Glaude though. I just couldn't get out of the front room!

Jungle Jessie - When this lady is rocking the jungle, my knees go weak.


I'm know I'm forgetting people. Sorry. I haven't had enough caffiene yet.

[Yakko Red]

Freddie Williams - His CD's are something that are in constant rotation at my home

Matt Sanborn - The guy is dedicated to the scene. In the past year I've witnessed him constantly trying to contribute to DC. On top of that, he's playing everywhere and continues even now to get booked, and that says something for his skills in itself.

Suneel - I didn't really take notice of him until I got his CD in the mail, and ever since, I've definitely become a supporter.

[Wickity]

Matt Sanborn - One of the most dedicated people I've ever met to his art. It's always fun to watch and hear him spin.
Switchstance - The one who inspired me to spin breaks. He's got crazy skills, and he's got a great goofball thing going...
Adegen - I've always enjoyed listening to Travis' sets. I'm always picking up little tricks by watching him, and his production really show his commitment to quality.
Bioteknik - I've always really respected Chris, and used him kind of as my measuring stick. I've seen him rock a dance floor before, and I knew if I could do the same, I'd be doing alright. His straightforward honesty is something I really value.
Korben Dallas - New guy, but I like his spirit. He's always willing to jump in and try something new, and is always trying to improve.


Perhaps I've forgotten some, but I'll get them in... And thanks for everyone's kind words and support as well. :D

[n-root]

Sanborn - One of the few men who makes funky disco house appeal to straight men. :wink: You got skill bro keep it up.

Bioteknik - I just really enjoy his taste in breaks.

Adegen - Always fun to hear.

Sebastian - Sometimes this kid just shreds it.

[Emporium76]

kris murphy: most underrated local house dj and introduced me to the whole EDM scene and taught me how to DJ. not to mention, smooth as butter on the decks.

speaking of underrated house DJs....

[MaryAnarchy]

roman - his energy behind the decks is contagious

mojo jones - good ish

andrew - i love cheese

tim resister - awesome dj and awesome guy

maz - bathroom jizz manouvres

jesse titties - super nice guy, amazing dj, and producer

[Matt Sanborn]

I give some love to the newer crop of dj's including Wickity, James (uberclktergererer), Roman, BBjohnson!

Glad to see you guys puttin in some work. Get out there and learn some dope new tricks and shit- then teach me. :wink:

[breaks princess]

Adegen (Travis)- My favorite local hands down for breaks. He comes correct, plays the dirty shit, and never cheeses out.

Sanborn- He is house music incarnate. Such unbelievable passion and understanding for house music. Awesome mixing skills, and even better when rocking the EQ's!

Walker- A natural genius from the first time he touched the decks. He has this incredible ear that almost no one else does, and his track selection is brilliant. Rock that tech shit!

Edan-He's one of the best dj's I've seen. Flawless mixing, and this innate ability of brilliant programming and IMPECCABLE taste in tech-house and techno.

Bobby Jae- Smoothest, sickest shit I've heard. Absolutley flawless.

Suneel: Radford represent! Such an amazing person, and that pours out in his passion for house music. Tight ass mixing and knows how to move a freaking dancefloor.

[Wickity]

Oh, I forgot to say something about Roman...
LOL, I've enjoyed every set I've heard of his... and the man puts his work in. =)

[zartan]

yeah i'm not even going to try naming all the local djs who kick ass and are great people. just had to call out my boy kris for getting me into this in the 1st place.

[Bioteknik]

matty matt sanborn taught me most of what i know today about *MIXING* not just spinning, but mixing tunes.. now that i can to it properly i get much props over on nubreaks, dungpow, etc...

[Unfeign]

kris murphy: most underrated local house dj and introduced me to the whole EDM scene and taught me how to DJ. not to mention, smooth as butter on the decks.

100% agreement. actually, Murph taught me to spin, too, and has been my DJ Sensei for many years now, and got me my first round of gigs. calling him smooth as butter on the decks is an understatment. it's absurd, i've often wondered if he has a copy of Protools installed on his brain that makes the transitions so flawless.

[Matt Sanborn]

I give Eric mad love for really sinking his teeth into djing- you have so much potential, Id imagine it wont be long till we are seein yer name on some flyers.

and a person who understands that quality is everything when it comes to music.

[Matt Sanborn]

Kris Murphy is most definately one of the best djs in the area- hands down

[n-root]

Thank you all for your kind words : )

[Matt Sanborn]

matty matt sanborn taught me most of what i know today about *MIXING* not just spinning, but mixing tunes.. now that i can to it properly i get much props over on nubreaks, dungpow, etc...

Chris soaks up info like a sponge. Everytime we mix together its a learning process- I showed him the basics of scratching and now he can damn near crab!

Bravo

[Matt Sanborn]

I give Roman and Wickity extra cool points

both are extremely smart individuals- much more intelligent than me :wink: but they both watch, and observe, pick up tips- and are very humble and respectful about it.

Now its time for you two to go do some damage.

wickity especially you bro- at Alias I was super impressed- and that says a lot

[robp]

DJ Peake - First time I saw him spin was at my birthday party years ago. He set up with a couple rickety ass belt-drven decks, a radio shack mixer, and used a bare 5" speaker for a monitor. He still rocked the house and it was what got me interested in the whole art of DJ'ing. I learned a lot from him, as he was more than willing to take the time to explain to me different aspects of mixing/beatmatching/etc. He's come a long way since then, and his energy and enthusiasm for the music alone makes him an awesome dj.

[MaryAnarchy]

someday i will be a dj.

i've been half assed trying since 2001.

i just don't have the attention span.

[Matt Sanborn]

oh how I love locals

Much love goes out to APPLE!

She was probably the very first person I met in the scene when I moved here- she helped point me in the right direction, and Im very grateful.

Plus she liked my westcoast house :affection:

[Matt Sanborn]

Mary I could teach you fast

Im a good teacher n stuff

[MaryAnarchy]

thanks for the offer :D

...i know

my biggest problem is figuring out which record is faster, and which is slower

and i get bitter

i also try to mix different genres into each other, which makes it a little harder. i can't stick with one genre for long...


i have an ear for music, i just dont' have lots of patience, or hundreds of dollars to burn on records :D

i'd spin hard breaks and dnb. the best for super short attention spans ;)

[empath]

easy to teach someone to spin:

This is the pitch control, this is the fader, this is how you cue the next record.

Now practice.

[retail]

MATT SANBORN -

not only a kick ass dj, but one who will go to great lengths to share his music with someone new to the scene.

when FIF came out, I asked him if he would send one to my lil' sister, who had a blast during his set in dec. after feelgood, which was also her second time clubbing/going to buzz EVER.

he not only sent her FIF, but every CD he's done, as well as contacting BUZZ to see if he could get a recording of the night he spun.

THAT right there, ladies and gentlemen, is pure class.

:werd:

[breaks princess]

Mary I could teach you fast

Im a good teacher n stuff

It's true!

Matt was the first one to tell me I was "cheating" when I would try to mix during a vocal with no beat.

A good teacher indeed.

[Matt Sanborn]

You need what all new djs need:

to develop "hand-to-ear" coordination.

Non musicians dont have a need for this so it must be learned.

hence why you cant differentiate the diff speeds rekkids are goin yet.....it comes.

John- yeah pretty much thats it.

[MaryAnarchy]

It's true!

Matt was the first one to tell me I was "cheating" when I would try to mix during a vocal with no beat.

A good teacher indeed.


hahah
that is cheating!

:nono:

thank you for the kind words Pete-

to be honest I should be thanking her- times like that- when you know you made a difference in that persons night while you were djin- makes all the other crap worth it.

Plus I will never pass on an opportunity to spread the gospel of house music on virgin ears before they are tainted with trance. :wink:

thanks again Pete

[breaks princess]

hahah
that is cheating!

:nono:

Yesh indeed. I knew it was way too easy.

I haven't practiced mixing in forever. I sometime hop on the decks at my place when people are over, and somehow can mix. Dunno if it's a drunken thing, or just luck?

[MaryAnarchy]

oh yeah, sometimes i can do amazing mixes..

then two records later, i hear horses galloping

[apple]

ahahha thnx matt! i've gotta say you took off in that direction and are making waves!!
as for locals that constantly dazzle me:
the been-around-the-blockers:
dan soda: just sick...can take it broked or deep or bang it out, total command of the situation and always quality tunes.
case: choice cuts, rockstar attitude
slant: sexy d'n'b with flawless mixing
tom b: master programming, complete crowd control
agfa: funky muffukas!
groovino: sexy tunes for the ladies, and always fun songs thrown in the mix
ecb: my nukkas...who can resist their table-humping when they get going?
deinfamous: brown sugar! beast track selection, mad energy.
farid: top-notch picks, amazing crossovers, class!

the newer peeps:
keenan: fiesty, soulful, funky, skilled!
bert blunt: since he left progressive, his pefect mixing skills are being put to great use in that quirky house bizness
matt s, o course: schoolin' the masses on what's proper in house! rrrespek!
peter helms! lol...my brotha! best record collection in all of dc, hands down.
christine moritz: 2nd best record collection...work it woman!

where is mosquito house?

[the sex molesters]

Xodus - my instructor at metatrack, really great guy, taught me a lot, and i've never heard him fuck up. not once. that's smooth.

Sinestro - friend, mentor, idol.... i can only wish i had this guy's skills behind the decks. djing is second nature to him. every mix, every scratch, every trick he pulls out is done easily, without much thought or effort. when he really does buckle down, he puts most djs i've seen to shame.

Simon - went to high school with this kid.... he's only a year older than me, and i can't remember a time hearing him spin when he wasn't a great dj. he's the one who really got me into electroclash.

Mojo Jones - mike, you are hands down the best producer in dc (at least in my book). it helps that i love the styles you dabble in, i suppose.

Tzeetch - i've only heard this guy once, but he was damn impressive!

[Matt Sanborn]

Mosquito House like whoa!

I work in the same building as Frances.

Adam has SO much talent it aint even funny

[Matt Sanborn]

And *you* Courtney!

You were already well in the mix when I moved here 3 years ago (god damn its been that long now?) but you have just blown the hell up. Yer name on the front of a lowdown rekkid? BOMB.

Plus all these weirdo sketches on my OAE plates I couldnt live without lol


<-----danced the whole time Apple rocked the main room at Buzz with the Subliminal boys :wink:

[Matt Sanborn]

Ivan G!!!

When I got here I had lots of free time since I didnt know anyone- so I hung about metatrack sometimes.

I saw Ivan mix and made him give me a lesson. (I had already been a dj for like 4.5 years lol) he made me mix without EQs LOL. then we quickly moved on to 3 tables and spinning double rekkids. He tought me how to do that shite.

[Wickity]

I need to learn something about triple decks. Never used a third one... :shrug:

[the sex molesters]

3 decks is fun... but challenging.

[Matt Sanborn]

You must know what you are doing to the fullest or a trainwreck will be 3 trains instead of 2.

When I play at Blue Room I bust out 3 decks at least once a night.

I like the third deck for fills and stabs and scratches mostly- its hard to get 3 rekkids to sound good together no matter how well you can beatmatch/eq.

unless yer ken and juan

[happygrl]

Sanborn- He is house music incarnate. Such unbelievable passion and understanding for house music.
I couldn't agree more. Add to that dope skills and amazing :lessthanthree: track selection, and you've got yourself one hell of a DJ. Of course, I may be biased :)

Edit: You've also taught me everything I know about house music, and for that I'm very grateful. :)

[uberclkgtr]

Leah (DNAgirl) - for teaching my ass how to mix.

Walker (Kuro) - for introducing me to smoothness and techy sounds.

Edan - for making me dance like an idiot everytime I see him spin.

Bobby Jae and Patrick Mineo - for playing music I love in a genre I dislike. ;-)

3 decks with 2 people is a lot easier. i like a third deck for doing accapella/beatless tracks... so you can mix the beats on the 2 other decks, but run vocals on the third.

[Veracity]

I've never really had anyone to teach me or show me "the ropes" per say, but I'll post some appreciation for good times and such:

DJ Grun - Totally balls to the wall originality. He really succeeded in bringing Hardcore to Edge/Buzz which was all he wanted to accomplish. He also really pissed Ty T off in the process.

Chris Warin - This guy made shit fun, he's a one man party. Not only did he throw up on BBB at Fever but he also was the first person I've ever known to open up for someone like PVD and then get thrown out of the same party he spun at...such humor.

Tim Resistor - Reminds me of a local DJ Dan, he can spin any genre and do it in a flawless manner.

Suneel - No comments necessary, the man has come along way and has worked hard to get where he's at.

Myst - Dope DNB track selections combined with hip-hop scratching, always a good time.

Matt Sanborn - Slowly opening me up more and more to Deep, Soulful house which I have never really been a huge fan of. The man definately has skills and is very active in the D.C Scene.

Cyzum - Doing something different and that's cool. Looking forward to seeing him live on the 14th with Infected Mushroom, defintaely going to be a good change of pace.

Cortex - I haven't seen him spin out live but I have heard his online mixes and he has great track selection and excellent programming.

Zartan - Not the biggest fan of that particular sound; however, I have much respect for how much time, energy , and devotion he puts into perfecting his skills. He always seems to be doing research on how to better himself and then also makes the information available for all other locals on this board to absorb as well.

Switchstance + Adegen - Great breaks, I mean .. what else needs to be said.

I wish I knew more people around the area..I'm looking forward to being home this summer so I can start absorbing some of this ill knowledge you all possess and can hopefully better myself in the process.

Oh and I'm going to say myself too because I'm happy with how far I've progressed in ten months with having very little free time between work and school. So I want to give myself a pat on the back. Cheers

[empath]

this thread either makes me feel like I should get out and spin either more or less, but i can't decide which..

[Matt Sanborn]

Id like to big up the whole District Soul crew!

Each one of em is great people, and dope djs....Broken Soul vs. District Soul at Trust was fun!

[hue-e]

Bioteknik - He was one of the first guests on my station/show and totally raised my eyebrow from the first time hearing him play, I brought him back 2 weeks later. Solid skills, great attitude and an all around cool fucking dood. Keep up the good work.

Lantern - I only recently met this kid, but I gotta say, you got your shit together man. Not only is he skilled and versitile behind the decks, but he is EVERYWHERE all the time, supporting/promoting for everyone. I dig the "leave the attitude/drama at the fucking door" mentality, it's refreshing cause I generally hate the opposite of that so we get along real nice. Peter will be joining me as a co-host to my show in the very near future so definately don't sleep.

I'm sure I have others, but these are the two first peeps off the top of my head.

[Matt Sanborn]

lol

John- I have some props for you....You have got to be one of like 4 or 5 people alive who still dig trance- and god knows you have gotten a lot of shit about it lol, especially from me (in jest)- but your skills have drastically improved from a few years ago.

[empath]

i'm just going to pretend that if the market for hard dance/trance djs was as big in DC as the market for house djs, i'd be getting more props :)

[hue-e]

two more...

Illeffect - Yes it's another Destroyer dj, but who cares... this guy is a fucking moster of a turntablist! Give it a couple more years and he will mos def be on top. Great attitude and friend, my station wouldn't be the same without him. Thanks bro.

Demetrios - All I can say about this cat is... "Andy C, watch out"...lol. He pretty much went from not playing out at all, to opening for the likes of DSL, Storm, Ed Rush & Optical, and a bunch of others in under a year! Great friend, great attitude all around, not into drama at all... and he "just wants the records man." Keep it up brutha.

[Wickity]

Hue-e: For always pimping the destroyer. He was the one who got me hooked on the online bug... Thanks bro!

[Mitaic]

then two records later, i hear horses galloping

That is a much better nomenclature than trainwrecking. I mean, what the hell is trainwrecking supposed to mean musically?


I think I shall henceforth call it galloping in trainwrecking stead.

[hue-e]

Hue-e: For always pimping the destroyer. He was the one who got me hooked on the online bug... Thanks bro!

lets not start humpin each other's legs here... lol, jk

I did say I would mention more when they came up...

I nearly forgot about my man Wickity...
Bigups this dood for all his proactive contributions to our/his station! Solid dj, always a refreshing face in the crowd, and a great guy all around. Keep up all your efforts in the scene fo sho! :thumbsup:



and btw, this thread is bringin tha :grouphug:



kind of makin me ill. :D

[Wickity]

That is a much better nomenclature than trainwrecking. I mean, what the hell is trainwrecking supposed to mean musically?


I think I shall henceforth call it galloping in trainwrecking stead.
I always liked shoes in the dryer. :gotme:

[MaryAnarchy]

That is a much better nomenclature than trainwrecking. I mean, what the hell is trainwrecking supposed to mean musically?

:yes:

another thing i can say is "your mix was awesome, but i heard some sneakers in the dryer when track 8 came in"

[MaryAnarchy]

ooh, chris beat me to it!

[Wickity]

I beat a lot of things... in fact, right now I'm...
you know what, nevermind.

[MaryAnarchy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i'm scarred for life.

i have teh present for you

[Mitaic]

DNAgirl - for telling me how to pick out the records properly and let the sleeve TILT like that. Also for being my first buzzboard friend.

Retail - for helping me out with purchasing my first equipments

Wickity - for giving me my crap-ass mixer

Ubergl-fucking-get-a-pronunciable-nick-will-ya James - for taking my old techs off my hand so I can get new m3ds. And for souring my milk up like buttah.

Tails - by far my current favourite local, undiscovered, DJ. I want my next CD to be autographed so one day I can tell people: I heard him play way back when.... I am really looking forward to actually meeting you someday.

Rajdeep - always brining the interesting and no-nonsense discussions on techniques and music.

[hue-e]

I beat a lot of things... in fact, right now I'm...
you know what, nevermind.

LOL...

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/forumfun/misc7.jpg

[darkenetiks]

since dnb is my thang, i can't really comment on other genres outside of dnb & breaks...

bioteknik - solid, funky, smooth. gets my ass shakin.
switchstance - another slamming DJ, love the selection...and mixes are always on point.
scott henry - :P it's in my raver roots

on to the list that grows every day:

HUE - E - awesome selection...he digs deep when buying records, and it shows. music for the dancefloor for sure.
RANSOM - harry always plays what i like, and even goes out of his way to play something he KNOWS i'll like. he's definitely gotten better since the 1st time i heard a mix of his in '99 (or was it 98?). one of DCs best, and IMO under-appreciated people drum&bass entities.
SLANT - i've been rocking out to him since day 1...his mixes are ALWAYS on point. i have never been disappointed by him. really nice guy too. biggup daniel.
STRESS - not in DC anymore...but if i would compare my style to anybody elses, it would be him. his tune selection is EXACTLY what i want to hear. incredibly smooth, and again...a good guy.
MATTY/MRN - people sleep on him too much!!!! i remember his 1st(?) set @ the old buzz...he DESTROYED the place. sick sick mix, i remember it well. every other time i've heard him, he's repeated that jesture...and his selection is top notch. sick producer too.
DEINFAMOUS - the only DJ who's got a copywrited head-bob in the DC area :P. talent out the ass...and yet another DJ who knows how to DESTROY a dancefloor. get ready to sweat when he hits the decks.
BENKO - now in AZ, and not really much of a DJ anymore...but when he was here his mixes were always on point. selection got me moving 100% of the time, fun guy to talk to.
ROB F - not really in the DJ circuit anymore...but whenever he does spin out it's always a party. suddle teases are something i've come to know from him, and he did play a small part in teaching me how to DJ (him & impluse...i was lucky enough to be friends w/them prior to "blowing up"). quality selection all the time
BRIAN ARSENAULT - watched him go from a trainspotter on the dancefloor, to being trainspotted himself... his mixes keep you interested, wondering what he's gonna do next. Bangin selection all the time, no rest for the wicked steelo. he came up fast, and is a force to be reckoned with.
JESSE "SHOW ME YOUR" TITTSWORTH - his 1st set @ buzz was BLAZIN. crushes the dancefloor every time...and one of the most positive people in the area. good hip-hop DJ too.
BOBBY JAE - 1st time i heard him was @ Act Your Age (when it was @ insomnia) & i made it a point to come tell him his set rocked when he was done. now the master of sexy beats...there's a reason why there's so much hype around him ;)
IllEffect - i can't touch him in the DJ dept...not sure if i ever will. love the way he throws in classics, while staying fresh. rocks it hard.

the lesser knowns:
Esfand - he will never admit it, but i'm way behind him in the talent dept. crates deeper than a 40 year old pornstar's cooch, and a big ear for what does/doesn't sound good. he can come @ you in stealth/smooth mix mode, or slice you w/cuts & teases. versatility @ it's finest.
Pat St. Clair - the man's been into this music for years & it shows. VERY good taste in music, and a true EQ ninja. he definitely takes you on a journey w/his mixes. don't sleep kids.
Plan B - one of the most slept on DJs around...i've known him for years & he's always been the guy we called to come spin @ so & so's party. talent out the wazoo...mixes are always unique, and BANGIN. he can play any style & make it sound good.

more to come later when my boss isn't up my ass.

[psion's gate]

Thanks for the mention Andrew.

I'd definately agree w/all these. To add a few:

-Joe Nice
-Tai
(both bring it leftfield and always make me sweat)
-Chris Bulla (awesome dj in all genres)
-All the Syncopation crew:
Mugzy, Decepticon, Ethos, Rev-E, Taysty, Joey B the MC
-All the Roundtable crew:
Simetra, J-Me
-Sylkey(trance in her pance at all times!)
-My Psion crew who has rocked w/ me for 3 years:
Kid Icarus, Gordyn, Erkology Mad props as we keep it alive!

zonkLIFT


i guess i'll just do a couple fast shouts:

joe kopasek - man is the king of breaks, knows his shiite, has a great personality, and knows how to tear it up behind the decks

ivan marz - what can i say, house genius

7up - not super local to here, but amazing dj. had me dancing at 8 in the morning, thats a feat.

phill schaefer - gonna be up there someday, can chill it or bring it funky

tim resistor - fudge, like you didnt know the mans got mixing down to a tight science

tzeech - god of bmore techno

on the side, props to zonklift, pez, soular, rouz, erik, kyun, decepticon, pazuzu and some others. w3rd - &rew

[Bioteknik]

someone needs to book 7up here again, he gets the booties shakin!

I have to pay some homage to the ones that got me in to the music I love.

Switchstance and Adegen; I can remember listening to sets by these guys when i had just started spinning, and they most defenitely steered me in the direction of the nuskool. These two have done so much in DC for the breakbeat scene, it wouldn't be half of what it was without them.

Wickity: I gotta give you mad props, you have picked things up so quickly!! holy crap you rocked out at alias, this is going to fuckin rock on may 21st!!!!

in drum and bass i gotta give some major props to titts and arse, two of the most genuwinely good people in the scene, too bad i haven't been seeing ya guys out so much lately!

more to come....

[DNAgirl]

Walker Robinson (kuro) - His mixing and track selection has always blown me away along with his production of music. It is obvious he has classy taste in music. He is the best DJ in my eyes. He has also taught me a great deal about mixing in general. He was also the first to make me realize that I truely loved techno

James Davies (Uberclkgtr) - HA, I can spell his board name! For being first of all such a great friend and a great person to spin with. But I have also seen him from when he first tried to ever mix until now. Not only is this man persistant but he has great taste in music

Edan - Wonderful taste in music

Bob (djreplicant) - I know he's gone. But he sold me some damn good techno and really opened my eyes to a lot of techno and taught me so much about it in general. Plus he's a really great guy and talented as well.

Juliette (Zelda) - I know she's gone too, but good lord that woman rocks. She made me realize that you can be yourself and also spank everyone's ass in the room with some damn good techno. God I wish I could hear her spin again.

I know I'm forgetting loads of people.......

[uberclkgtr]

Sanborn and Empath - both have great enthusiam for the scene, and for their specific genres. Sanborn is a blast to watch spin. He's like a surgeon behind the decks. And I've never seen Empath spin, something I gonna have to remedy soon.

[the sex molesters]

oh yea i almost forgot.... well i will throw a shout-out to matt sanborn, just because he really is dedicated! and he's a good dj, too... but we all know that just being a good dj doesn't get you places..... and matt's definitely going places.

but i really wanna throw out some "technical" props to donnie, dj Nquire... yea his mixing is really good, but the thing that stands out the most to me about him is his stage presense. the energy he puts into pumping up the crowd is what makes him stand out from many other djs in my mind... you can just tell he really gets into his music, and the crowd does follow.

[unknown dj]

mine...
Dina and buzzboy for intoducing me to everyone on the board
Swerve your funniest asshole i know
Lexus King for giving me the first shot ever...
Intellect (LUIS AND LOCKS) for just being there always
My Brother for pushing me
Phil and Danny for showing me the way to good ole' Buzz
John Tab you got me likin some drum and bass
Andrew thanks for all the good tunes and times, withoout you alot probably wouldn't have happened!
Hue and Bioteknik the new internet radio gods....
Chad you really showed me a new way of doing things....MAD PROPS.
Roman you really like the effects button dont you
Wickity you can spin some breaks
And to everyone i missed..................sorry but i'm at work and have to rush!

[unknown dj]

BIG UPS TO ANY BREAK DJ (old or nu)

[sassypance]

all of the dc skillz crew (obviously), adegen, spiggy, edan, wickity, miah, sinestro, curren, jen lasher, d solid, roman, logictheorist, buzzboy, mike maxim, mark forrest, indecks, jon deke, glyphix, lantern, nquire, clutch, zelda, jambi, & sheila storms

:raveon:

I appreciate your positive feedback!! Keep rockin:raveon:

[Kuro]

And I've never seen Empath spin, something I gonna have to remedy soon.

Yes you have. At Cold Turkey at the studio. He was on right after me and we stayed through most of his set.

[uberclkgtr]

:doh: you're right. he dropped "seven cities". i recall now. :onethumb:

also, ray kang deserves some love. he's a great guy, very dedicated to his art, and is a sick, sick DJ.

[THE BLACKEST]

Here are mine:


DnB:
N'dinga aka Nuclear: The absolute best Drum n Bass dj in this area. Every fucking time I've seen him he blew me away. Dj Marky ain't got nothing on this guy. Best mixing, best programing, best scratching, this man owns on the decks. I don't know where he is or what he's doing but he needs to come back!
Actual Fact: Dope track selection and always knows how to rock the crowd.
Harry Ransom: Always always drops the lethal shit
Bobby Jae: got soul?
MRN: One of the most underated djs in the area. This man brings teh hotness everytime.
Brian Nature: Flawless mixing and insane drops. Another underated dj in the area
Brian Arse: Airtight mixes, bangin track selection and wikkid programing.
Mr. Tittsworth: This man brings it. With him its always expect the unexpected. My opinion I think this guy is going to win the DnB category for the Golden Vinyl awards.
Slant: been listening to this guy since 94. Always been one of my fav djs in the area. Track selection and mixing is always on point.
Deinfamous: yeah I have to mention myself because well I play what I want to hear all the time. Mixing and other someone else is going to have to mention tho...

Techno:
Sinestro, Tzeetch, DeezTittz
House: Apple, Tom B, Sun, Oji
Breaks: Jen Lasher, Adegen(fucking owns!!!), Switchstance

[DNAgirl]

James you are so right about Ray

Ray Kang is a very talented DJ and his energy and enthusiasm during his sets is awesome.

Also, I just saw Simon spin for the first time (techno :D) I really enjoyed his taste.

[switchstance]

This thread is very plurry.

last but not least, my persian prince NEMO!

[kirk]

you rule courtney!!!!

[meatbeatjack]

Totally forgot about Keith, he definately got me into the techier side of house.

[Bioteknik]

Mr Kirkout has got some eclectic tastes with the drums and bass. Plus he knows how to dig deep for those hidden beauties that nobody else has. When are we going to hear some of your production work? :D

mike darkenetics deserves some recognition, this guy knows his shit when it comes to drum and bass, plus when he doesnt' play a set full of angry white boy tech-step, he owns a crowd :wink:

[RAMIRO]

lets seee. soo many...
lets go back... these are just a few that stand out a lot in my mind that i have always been there for me and vice versa..


ZELDA.. what and influential chick.
Xodus.. back when he was doing the tribal junx.. wicked..

BERT Blunt... man his skills just keep getting better and better this dude cant go wrong

mad respect to all you DJ's out there making the scene what it is today .. with your after parties.. your one-offs.. and just your all around positive vibe :yourock:

[MaryAnarchy]

Unfortunately, Keith Gardner has given up his headphones....I still see him around once in awhile and he's into the indie rock scene right now...he just got back from a month long road trip to see all these bands. Also, she hasn't played out in awhile, but watch out for Sheila rocking the decks towards the end of May in Tysons!!!

[DjLantern]

PROXXY and CHRIS WARIN they've been there since the beginning well since i've been growing up in the scene and are my 2 biggest influences on why i do what i do and that would be play my records for the love of the music, not popularity, money or superstardom...

[Hitoi]

-The 4twenty4 crew, for being amazing djs, producers, friends, even husbands (that's for Lori and Kristen :wink: ):

Carlo - always strives for perfection yet one of the most humble djs/producers I've had the pleasure of meeting. This boy has an ear and a vision for his music and I admire him for that. I hold him solely responsible for getting me to make the crossover to spinning jungle. And he is fucking phenomenal at scratching, although he'll never let anyone see him do it ;)

Edan - tech house/techno djs don't get any better than this. And his production only gets better with each session they have in the studio. I see so much happening for this guy in the future. It's only a matter of time.

Hope - loves and spins the style of tech house that makes me want to shake my ass. Great dj, great lawyer, great friend :)

-All the Broken Soul djs for putting their hearts and souls into their parties and their music careers and for helping to open people's minds to other styles of music. Special shoutout to Sanborn for helping me "see the light" and drawing me to the more soulful side of house, for giving me some starter records to work with and for answering any questions I had when I was learning to mix.

-Telemetrik. Watching them spin is like nothing I've ever seen. Craziest, funniest guys ever.

-Bobby Jae, for showing people that even dnb can have soul.

-Wickity, for helping out a lost dj-in-the-making

[apple]

no doubt, hope is class. i haven't heard him in a loooong time but he always blew me away.

That was nice of you to say Ali. I do think that you will turn out to be one of the best drum and bass djs. Well I mean you did have a good teacher right? Nah :jk: , you had already learned to mix by the time I met you. :werd:

[mojojones]

I gots to give props to all these DJ/producers/label owners. They are all sick fucking DJs, dope producers, and smart business men and all really super nice guys. They all have inspired me to get into the music industry and given me alot of advice and feedback.

:respekt:

- East coast Boogiemen

- Jon H

- All Good Funk Alliance

- DJ Sinestro (we got some phat records being released this summer, stay tuned ;)

also give props to Steve Logik, Oscar Rojas and Edan (we all have a record in the works that will be released this summer)

[happygrl]

I'll never forgot our late night/early morning mix sessions with you and Matt. You are always so extremely modest Ali, but I've heard you pull off some great mixes! And I'm sure you're even better now, since I haven't seen you spin in ages... not since you went to the "dark side" that is jungle. :wink: I look forward to having you over to our place in Rockville soon, and seeing how much you've progressed this past year :smooch:

And word on the Broken Soul props. I remember the humble very beginning of the crew, with Hybrid :D, and it's awesome to see how far Broken Soul has come since then. These guys (Matt, Chris, Kirk, Ray, Walker, Joey, Kenny, and Barrett) are all *fantastic* people and friends, as well as being terrific Djs. What I love most about Broken Soul is that everybody brings something a little different to the table, be it style of music, skills, etc. The fine collection of Djs that you guys make is amazing, and I always love seeing all of you play out :lessthanthree: I see bright things in the future for all of you. :)

[happygrl]

Big ups to Bobby Jae too. I only saw you for the first time the night of Andy C, but I was blown away. I love your sound, and I can tell you have mad skills on the decks as well. :thumbsup:

[apple]

BERT Blunt... man his skills just keep getting better and better this dude cant go wrong

[apple]

Big ups to Bobby Jae too. I only saw you for the first time the night of Andy C, but I was blown away. I love your sound, and I can tell you have mad skills on the decks as well. :thumbsup:

bobbyjae is the hot lick. i remember the first time i heard him, a few years ago we were both playing some party at insomnia. i was in the little side "house" room and he was in the main room and it was the first time i'd heard "soulful" d 'n' b. i doubt he remembers, but i went up and demanded a cd!! alas, he had none on him. i actually still don't have any bobby jae cds.

[Matt Sanborn]

You dont have perpetual motion? Its hot hot hot.

Bobby Jae is the dopesmack.

Courtney- at Andy C bobby dropped a DnB version of OD & CD "you got body, you got style" (hows that for not remembering the exact track name, and I should be ashamed as it is the first track on one of my mixes)

[apple]

lol now i am embarassed, cuz that's the exact track i was talking about playing in the other thread.

[Matt Sanborn]

lol too funny

[yvonison]

bobby jae bobby jae bobby jae

DJ Lantern - peter is one of the most genuine people I have met in a very long time. down to earth, truely loves the music, and like someone said earlier he is everywhere!!!

Nonchalant - rob is def a great person. always hard at work. took "Disfunktion" to levels i never belived possible, big ups to this guy.

Raj & Wickity - Met both of these dudes promoting for State-Side as well. Very cool peeps, always ready to get the party going and have a great time.

Lantern, Wickity and Sylkey - My breakbeat heroes, and heroine.

ODJ - An often overlooked awesome local, usually one of the first people to give the up-and-comers a chance.
