Guest bugbread Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 What DJs have you found the most visually interesting? Who have you found your eyes glued to during their sets? (Note, live shows don't count, only DJs, it's too easy to be dramatic in a live show). And, importantly, why? For me: Matteo (from Loopus in Fabula): For dancing really oddly throughout his set, in a very definitely NON-psy way.Raja Ram: The first time I saw him, I thought, "Cool, this DJ's an old man"...Then, when the music was twisted and he was sweaty and grimacing and playing an imaginary violin in time with the music, I thought, "This wizened wizard dwarf is pure evil"Olli Wisdom: For just dressing really oddly. As you can see, I have a fascination for "odd" over "cool". NP: Nothing - at work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest v4K Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Mark Allen plays his set and if you don't know he is a DJ i'm sure you will think his playing live FrankE plays kinda funny too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike hock Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 yes, Olli Wisdom indeed, and he raves on the stage too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 not psy, but mark eg has plenty of stage "presence"... er, who else smashes turntables and eats the pieces and yells like some deranged lunatic who drinks gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sam i am Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Olli Wisdom takes the cake... the general demeanour of the guy is just out there & I've never seen anyone outdress everyone at a party so consistently np - Hyper Frequencies: "the Lost Generation" (on a mix by DJ Eckoe called 'La Folie Des Anges') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dr. Krelm Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 DJ Lestat aka Talamasca. He acts like a fuggin' nut during his DJ sets, but it gets the crowd moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest russ Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 James Monro! He is a born party machine, the kind of a guy who could walk into any bar or any party and walk out with the most beautiful girl there in twenty minutes. The guy just looks so damn good and is so damn funny, and he totally gets into the music and the mixing and dances hard. Not the spastic dancing of talamasca, who looks like he's just chomped down on 17 e's, but hard dancing that is also groovy and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dam10n Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 My vote's with raja ram Most pivotal psy label boss with a torch in his mouth is enough for me. NP: Bugger all (at work.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andy Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I'd go with Lestat as well - fukin lunatic - but again it gets everyone into it! i saw pied piper abut 5 years ago and he was on a similar tip but there u go laters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lurk Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I agree with Russ about James Monro; Tristan is pretty much in the same category for me, he doesn't act like a loon (which I enjoy as well ;-), but he is a big man with a big presence as well.

Guest Yamil Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Juan Verdera!!! The only time i saw him I got really scared when i got near the stage. I tought we was going to collapse or something. When the music we was palying (really melodic stuff) reached those mind twisting climaxes we would draw things in the air with his hands, and we was all shaking and complety filled with sweat, dripping from his forehead. Just Wako!!! And portuguese DJ Paulo, he is blind and ist really odd to see him select the Cd's and dance. )) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oa Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Does anyone have video of these DJs going nuts? Id love to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clive frog Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Bansi form GMS, he headbangs to Spliff Politics, and screams the samples at you, I've never seen a DJ put out more energy. He' really is a growling mad scientist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bugbread Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Bansi? Every time I've seen him live he's seemed relatively subdued...But I feel a special affinity to him because we have the same haircut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
