Guest Bearsy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 djs that are doing it for me right now are Karl Heard, only recently heard him dj and so glad i have Keith Money, last 100 Club Keith played an amazing set that wasnt 100mph at about 3.30am and the floor was loving every minute of it, just shows you dont always need stompers to keep a nighter banging Butch, cos he always delivers and never fails to do it for me, Every other dj that is daring to play something different and having the balls to play whats doing it for themselves personaly Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Bearsy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Mr Abbott seems to be on fire at the moment too oh Mick H & Mr Dyson aint to shabby either Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sean Hampsey Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Speaking of modern, that there Hampsey guy is up there with the best of em! a collection made in heaven and another who's master of the spoken word is in another leauge,superb polished performance every time Way to go Sean! M. I blush Mark, especially as you aint too shabby either! Let's just say, I do my best! If my arm was twisted, I'd have to nominate my sidekick TATS as a guy who's well on top of his game at the moment. He's my kinda DJ, obsessed with Quality over Rarity and never fails to entertain with only the very best in Real Soul Music (the two of us will be at Blah Bar, Barnsley, 26th September incidentally ). Good thread this Mike! Thanks. Sean Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest BintofSoul Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 John Aldren and Tony Hatfield last session in the rare room at Bridlington double decking three half hours or more a blinding set of music and huge spontaeneous round of applause at the end with both guys drained emotionaly. Never forget that night. ATB Steve. Absolutely agree. It was a fantastic set. The best! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ernie Andrews Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Any DJ is on top of their game if they keep the floor relatively active. Wheter they play 2K records £200 records or £20 records. Its how they work the crowd that answers the question and the preparation to fill up their box before they kick off- In other words practising at home to see how one record sounds next to another and changing things around to try an get a good set together. Being their at the beggining to see whether or not DJs before you play the same tune you planned and be able to substitute to keep it going. DJing is not just about having big ticket tunes and sticking them on a deck- Theres more to it and Im sure some of the League 2 Djs like me can perform just as well as some of the big boys.

John Al Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 John Aldren and Tony Hatfield last session in the rare room at Bridlington double decking three half hours or more a blinding set of music and huge spontaeneous round of applause at the end with both guys drained emotionaly. Never forget that night. ATB Steve. I experienced it too .... they were brilliant!! Hope to hear them again soon.... Phil Absolutely agree. It was a fantastic set. The best! Thanks guys! I'm really pleased that that night seems to have left such a lasting impression and that you felt able to say so. Tony and I were working hard that night and had both done a couple of solo spots over the weekend but it all seemed to come together for that last extended (and unplanned) session; it was a sheer pleasure. Ooops you've set me off again........ Meanwhile, we will indeed be DJing again soon, we'll be at York Soul Night on 3rd October Or I'll be in Swindon on 12th September and Ramsgate in November, be good to see you there! Back on topic, my favourites of late have been Carl Willingham who shows he can still push the boundaries a bit and Shane Cox, good DJ and just such a nice guy!! Mention too to Johnny Beggs, controversial maybe but when he hits form........ Oh and of course Des Parker. Best, John. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Matt Male Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm not surprised Karl is top of most people's list, the couple of times he's done Move On for us, i have just been gobsmacked by the quality of his records. Another one no one has mentioned (amazingly) is KILLA. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Wiganer1 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 anybody can be at the top of their game if they have a decent collection and theyre given the chance to have a spot...... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ernie Andrews Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 anybody can be at the top of their game if they have a decent collection and theyre given the chance to have a spot...... Mark Ive seen DJs with top collections make an absolute mess of it because they didnt think very much about it and didnt react to the crowd or lack of it on the dance floor- Great tunes and rare but didnt hit it off in the selection together.- It also depends on what type of night as well especially across the board where you have to glide one genre into another- That does take thought and skill to keep the floor going without a mass exodus. Weve alll made that mistake- My Classic was follwoing someone who had played apredominantly Motown spot- My first record was Push & - Judson Moore- Push & pull and it cleared the floor- It took a few records to get the crowd back in and was hard work. Tell me - What goes with Christine Quaite before & after ATB Steve Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Little-stevie Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 anybody can be at the top of their game if they have a decent collection and theyre given the chance to have a spot...... A little bit more too it than that... Some djs just have that extra special something at times, its a thing you can't always put into words... You can give the same paint to ten people but you will not get the Picasso from all.. How many times have i heard the same record played by different djs, sometimes it can sound fantastic in a thought out set and other times it can be like a wet fart in a lift...

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Martin Stanford and Keith Wilcox for me in Peterborough are 2 DJ's i admire and every time they DJ they never fail. Keith for his oldies and Martin for the sheer mixture and if i wanted someone for Modern onlines i would say Dave Forrest Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
ImberBoy Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Bob Hinsley Robbo Sean Chapman I know Middleton has gone but any DJ who could hold a regular spot at either Middleton or now Maxims at Wigan gets my vote. You just expect magic at these events and I truly believe that it is a rare case of both the dancers and the DJ interacting with each other. I think that any DJ who can resist the same old same old and yet still inspire the dances is a rare thing and quite magical when it happens.
