California raised, currently in NYC for college, and in a committed relationship with my turntables
. I am also a firm believer that Kanye West and Timbaland should one day produce trance.
My fav's (in no particular order):
Armin Van Buuren - i don't give a fuck if he's super mainstream, he's just a baller. Best night ever partying to this guy at Crobar.
Above and Beyond - if you don't like tri-state, then i don't like you.
Richard Durand - one of my favorite guys to download live-sets from...you gotta have respect for someone who is able to remix 100's of tracks, and make them all sound consistent but different enough to carry flavor. not to mention they're all peak-time quality.
Danny Tenaglia - any dj new-york bred is always gonna know how to work any party, obviously
. It's refreshing to see guys who've been in the game for decades and still enjoy the hell out of it while they're spinning.
Adam Sheridan - His productions are mediocre, and his hard trance style isn't really my thing. But I respect the guy for building his crazy own underground following at such a young age. Paul van Dyk sees this kid as his protege, so it's interesting to see where he'll end up in a couple years..
Darude - haha, just kidding.
ATB - middle school/high school memories like crazy. It's stuff like "Fine day" and "ecstacy" that got me into EDM when i was younger. I was a little let down by trilogy though
...That's all just the tip of the iceberg. If it's above 126 BPM, then i like it. As far as spinning goes, I've done some super low key raves in the Bay Area in Cali, but we'll see what's in for the future...
don't be shy. say hey
