this thread will never go anywhere. certain styles of djing make it easier for a dj to display their skills (as far as actual technical skills go). for example, mark farina can't use the decks like murat can. he plays records for a long time and doesn't mix them for the amount of time murat does. farina uses two where murat uses three. not that farina blows. but his style of music requires exquisite record selection for the main focus rather than hard work on the turntables. also, there is a conflict of interest in every reply to this thread. some people would rather see kirk degorgio before they would see dave angel. it all depends on your music of choice. what has moved people in the past is what they want to hear. so i am going to throw in my conflict of interest. of course i think i am right with, ben sims. there is no one who uses the turntables as a piece of production like this guy. you may not like his style. but show me a better dj (technically). none exist. he turns his dj sets into live acts, scratching, bomb tracks, energy. has he ever had a bad night? as far as mills goes, if he was just coming up as a dj now, would he gain the following he has today? i don't think so. he played the same set for about 8 years. now he realizes it's time for a change. he has always displayed this advancement for techno in his production. as a dj, he just began to diversify. that's weird. i am sure that someone will say, "i saw mills play a deep techno set 4 years ago". well one out of 200 isn't an equal ratio. i love seeing mills. at the same time i think he is way overrated. a lot of the excitement in seeing him play is nostalgia.
