Digweed bored the arse off me!
But then again so did Sasha most of the time… Though I have been at 2 gigs he did that were pretty spot on. But that was probably cos they were a LOT less Prog than normal!
Best set I ever saw was Ritchie Hawtin back in 2001 at Amnesia in Ibiza, WAY back before he started getting really minimal and boring. He absolutely destroyed the place with a mind blowing mix of banging techno and blissed out paradise! Then on came Sven Vath with a 3 hour stomper the most pumping techno ever! Fackin' awesome…
Most of the top breaks DJ's are all pretty good showmen IMO too. Plump DJ's never fail, Stanton Warriors will always entertain, Adam Freeland is just awesome, Evil 9 are mind blowing, and Krafty Kuts… Well, what Krafty Kuts can't do to wow a crowd doesn't make for a long read! The guy is mental!!! He mixes, scratches, cuts, loops, samples and remixes on the go, with the most eclectic selection of tunes, and puts it all together seamlessly. He's also a proper nice guy, really down to earth… I met him briefly after a gig a few years back, a couple of weeks after he did a Radio 1 Essential Mix. Mentioned I'd heard his mix on Radio 1 and he was really surprised, when I said how good I thought it was he seemed quite embarrassed! Very modest bloke and a top DJ…
