BEST DJ'S EVER:


RON HARDY

BOBBY VITERITTI

[discofresh]

i have always rated Toni humphries & Larry Levan

DJ Boogie Badness :D :D

[Giovanni]

I've never heard him live, but I think that Ron Hardy had the greatest energy.
Many friends in New York told me that Walter Gibbons was the best by far
Francois K is probably the most open minded and creative
Harvey made a name for himself with his personal style
Two great italians were Mozart and Baldelli since they created a completely new movement with teir musical research

Well, Larry Levan is certainly up there with the greats. But, to me, Hardy and Viteritti were just a tad better as they could mix more easily between tempo's and genres. But, these three dj's have in common a very broad music taste and that I like!!!

So, Larry Levan the dj comes third as far as I'm concerned.

On the other hand, Levan was the greatest remixer of all time.

Of the current dj's I like Theo Parrish.

[LITTLE SCOTTY]

DANNY KRIVIT
FRANKIE KNUCKLES
LARRY LEVAN
DAVID MANCUSO
NICKY SIANO

those are the "five magics"

and today,IMHO,i think there is two guys who make disco alive in a good way......MAW (ken gonzales,louis vega...)

When it comes to DJ's my heart is with the Americans. Guys like
