    local dj of the year...

    it's that time again......2006 is coming to a close; 2007 awaits.


    Who is your local dj of the year?

    Who's that one dj that blew your mind when you heard him/her play??
    Who's the one dj that brings it each and every time you see him/her?
    Who's the one dj that raises the bar...not only with selection, but mixing?
    Who's that one special dj that makes you want to get better at what your own mixing?
    Who's the one dj that inspires you?

    Ian/DaniellaDowns started a thread very similar to this last year.


    thoughts and comments please....
    p.s. - I need to think about this.

    My pick is joenice you always deliver it with nice and just have this charisma. Although I dont really play dubstep you've still inspired me to get better on the 1's and 2's and pump the crowd. I meen thats what its all about isnt it? Big up man :onethumb: 5 for the reload! !

    Joe I've managed to follow you a little more this year and have been really impressed with what you do. It's a shame that local dj's don't get the respect they should so I am not sure whether to nominate you for this or not, but I know you get around and give you much respect.

    I think overall my vote has to go to Mike Haddad. He's been moving beats all over the place and out of any dj in DC he probably has one of the biggest followings.

    my top influences in no particular order (ie the ones that always continue to suprise, and influence me in some particular way in relation to what I listen to and play when I attempt to dj)

    Logic Theorist, Daniella Downs, John Tab, 2rip, and ramz, Hitoi, Bobby Jae, and the brightest Lantern

    It's a tough choice, but I think Illeffect is probably my favorite for the year. That asshole keeps making it harder for the rest of us.

    Way to go, jerk. :wink:

    Harry's housewarming party?

    I dont remember playing any housewarming parties. the only "house" party i remember playing was the birthday party in Laurel this past January that Jim organized for Ian. I remember that one b/c one of my friends from London was in town and i played in the basement. Brio and Matt from NorthCarolina were on before me. Logo Jon told me this night was the first time he's ever heard me before. I got on the decks....3 tunes in...i could smell the speaker burning. 2 tunes later...gone. Bare in mind...i didnt jack up the levels or anything. I just did what i did. Those D1 tunes were too fierce. Of course..."Conference" got mashed again !


    My choice -- Tittsworth. I know he's done more than anyone else in this area, including me. he does things his way, plays what he wants and -- as a fellow dj, i completely respect that.

    Besides, he did a remix of the Eastern Motors commercial. he wins.

    I'm not even sure you can classify him as a "local". I mean...once you play out of the country...are you really "local" anymore?


    As always....i have to big up DanGee and JohnAsk. Why you ask? They were there when i was playing in front of 10 people at Sonar 3 years ago. They were there when everyone looked at me funny and said..."What is this dubstep stuff? is it like drum & bass?" They were there from, well -- the beginning.

    They believed in me....and i'm eternally grateful. I'm not sure i would be where i am if it wasnt for them.
