I was never into Sasha and Digweed when they were at Renaissance I like Progressive house in patches but a lot of it is crap. Sasha was at his peak at Shelleys back in 1990 his remixes to 1995 were awesome but since then he as dabbled in trance, Progressive and breakbeat and never really kicked on like Oakenfold, Van Dyk and Corsten have in producing.
As for best ever DJ you can't look past Carl Cox still top of the game 25 years on from the old acid house warehouse parties in Blackburn.

Cox is a scene jumper. I remember queuing I to Renaissance in 1992 to see sasha, digweed, with the Guerilla records tour - and on the wall was a poster for 'Carl cox birthday' at Zest on the Friday with mc shitbag and a host of crummy rave dj's. Then 1994 he turned to techno and then jumped onto house music again, wearing some trendy new reading glasses and a trendy cardigan. I remember when he'd play the Doncaster warehouse in 1991 and his wife would sit asleep in his SL500 merc outside the front door, dressed like lady Diana - and the the ravers would bang and gurn through her window and she'd go nuts. |

I liked Carl Cox because his style of djing was pretty unique his best era was probably 1995-2004 when he did a lot of essential mixes and brought through a lot of people like Dave Angel, Trevor Rockcliffe and Dave Clarke who were succesful remixers but not huge names outside of the underground scene.
Cox's 3 deck sets were legendary only Jeff Mills could match him at that and when you see all these CDJ/Laptop mugs doing a set on iphones its really sad that turntablism is a dying skill not many people will benefit from in 10 years.
I still have my 1210's and still play my old techno and trance records but the scene sold out years ago. The days when a DJ pitched up with 50 tunes no one had ever heard off is long gone its why none of them are making the money they did 10-15 years ago.

Awesome night, hell of a lot better than I thought they would be.
The opening track being wanna be adored and the bass was a real goosebumps moment, fantastic gig. I did not think I'd say this before tonight but I would pay to see them again.
Going off tonight, they must regret the years they spent farting around alone given what they can do together, special band without doubt.

The whole experience was a massive letdown for me. I'd love to see em in a small arena but for the size of the venue the sound was shit

Caught a few YouTube vids just now, they were never a pub-rock act like Oasis, the Roses were far cooler than that.
But from what I could see the audience was 95% male, pissed up and singing along like it was England match.
Wank and so glad I never bothered.

I'm still hoping London Beat get back together. Hopefully with Sydney Youngblood supporting. Now THAT'S music.

YouTube clip don't do em justice. Do you enjoy concerts where nobody gets involved and its soft drinks only or something?  |

I never bothered with trying to get a ticket, didn't even want to to be honest as I heard they were crap live but mate asked me if I wanted to go earlier this week so thought why not. Ended up really enjoying it and actually thought they were quality. |

Gav your just bitter because you got bullied at the killers by them rats behind you.
You don't go a open air field gig expecting a class view, no drugs and loads of bobers knocking about, its part and parcel am afraid.
We went not expecting much, had some beers etc, good bounce around, sing along, F***ed loads off trying to push forward and had a riot of a time.

I have been watching Ian Brown live great atmosphere just can't sing for shit. He always covers 4 or 5 Roses songs in his sets anyway. I liked the Stone Roses the first time around now they have reformed I don't have much interest at all its not as though they will release new material and see it through long term. They just are making a quick buck and the ticket prices reflect it.
