Re: Best DJ from Each Continent

It's good to hear y'alls mentioning Steve Porter and Chris Fortier. I really like Steve's productions, and live he's super good at building a set. I found Chris a little scattered behind the decks, he's working hard, but there's not such a flow. Although he does keep those high-hat claps on the 2 and 4, like a good bedrock/balance boy.

[size=6]Africa goes to [b]Ryan Dent[/b][/size]

[img]http://www.jhblive.co.za/nightlife/djfocus/ryandent/001.jpg[/img]

Ryan has in his 7 years in the scene, quickly become one of the most influential DJ's in the country. He has won numerous awards (2001: SA City Life DJ & UDMA Deep House DJ & Overall Best DJ, SL Magazine DJ of 2001, SA City Life DJ of 2000, Epic Magazine DJ of 1999), the unqualified respect of his peers, and adulation on any dance floor, prove that Ryan is a DJ that is taking our local beat to the next level.

As a producer and A&R. on his own South African label, Platform Records he is forcing the international dance scene to sit up and take notice of the Cape Town sound. His production success with "Haya" reaching No. 10 on 5FM Top40 is the tip of the iceberg, with vinyl releases on Dutch label Extrema with "Purple Ohm", and "Need It" & "FunkDust" released on Belgium label StartStop Records. His first mixed CD released in early 2001 "Deeper Sound of Ryan Dent" has reached sales of over 10 000 copies.

Ryan started mixing in early 1994 on inventive set-ups using twin amps and an array of music, he has owned his own nightclub, played live to 7500, opened for Carl Cox & Deep Dish (Pharcyde) & been resident at every house club in Cape Town from G-Spot to Sutra.

His raw energy & talent has taken him Europe every year since 2001 to play alongside house legends Gene Farris, Derrick Carter & Tom Middleton from London to Paris to Amsterdam to Barcelona to Eindhoven!

Given complete creative control to exhibit his full stratospheric deck dexterity, there is no telling where this sonic alchemist might take you. Open wide! This dentist operates on your behalf.

[quote]North Amerika: Deep Dish and Hernan Cattaneo [/quote]

hernan is actually from SOUTH america. but i'll let you slide on this one.

america = fortier earth = digweed

North America: Deep Dish Europe: John Digweed (best when combined with Sasha) Australia: Pappa South America: Hernan Cattaneo Africa: Asia: Satoshie Tomiie Where is Dave Seaman from? I htought he was from South Africa so would fill in my Africa slot

Re: Best DJ from Each Continent

North America Tenaglia Europe Digweed Asia Moshic (Is Israel considered part of Asia?) Austraila Luke Chable

Re: Best DJ from Each Continent

Heranan, Pappa, and Van M!!! :RockOn:

Re: Best DJ from Each Continent

My favourites Djs are 1.Sasha,Digweed :LoveYou: 2.Cattaneo,Satoshi 3.Nick Warren,and Phil Thompson.. :Bingo:

[quote=Stu";p="69117]I don't think Pappa should come under Australia, nor should Satoshi under Asia Satoshi even more so than Pappa, he's been based out of New York for almost his entire career which goes back a while now

I'm not sure who you'd pick for Asia, maybe DJ19[/quote]

satoshi is japanese, so i think there's no issue there, just as anthony pappa is an aussie. it's like saying kylie minogue isn't an aussie cos she's been in the uk for over 10 years, or elle macpherson isn't an aussie cos she lives in europe. now we can't let somebody else claim them now can we??

but if you're takin' that approach then the answer's easy. asia = osamu m :RockOn: :Bingo:

Any opinion on my continent confusion?

[quote=mixu] Is America one continent or two? I'd always thought it was two (North and South) until I had a conversation with an Argentinian girl earlier this year who spent a year in New York and was horrified that they were taught at school it was two continents when she was taught it was just one continent...

Where does that put Central America she said? And I sort of mumbled it was probably North as the line was probably drawn at the Panama Canal. [/quote]

^^^ that is interesting, and bizarre to me. i understand the confusion of central america. i guess it is part of north america, it is in the same world cup qualifying region as north america.

Re: Best DJ from Each Continent

Also confusing because she said, "I know there's five continents because that's how many Olympic rings there are." To which I had no answer... :NotMe:

Re: Best DJ from Each Continent

Come on let's get serious!

Satoshie does NOT qualify for Asia in any way even if I still think he's real good.

Personaly I would have to say Takkyu Ishino for Asia/Japan. He's a global touring dj and has major recognition.

Now if we're going for the whole house/prog genre he's disqualified.
