I prefer a nice shawl collared dj with proper horsehair padding and tapered single pleated trousers.

thought id get an answer like that. your all a bit long in the teeth on here arent you.

Sad Old Gits is the correct term I believe, but no, there are plenty of young 'uns on here, under 18 even. Mind you there are also quite a few Sad Older Gits too.

And it's sad old gits like me who are the gobby ones and scare the anklebiters off with silly replies.

So back on topic now so you whippersnappers can tell the young fittdiva here who your favourite disc jockey is

(Now then, now then, mine's Jimmy Saville btw, owsa bout that then? - the only cuban cigar smoking, rolls royce driving, marathon running, medallion wearing, broadmoor residing, septuagenarian disc jockey in the whole wide world)!

'Now then Now then' ... You forgot the cigar and the Rolls Royce

Some DJ's are complete idiots. Give me a jukebox any day...

Are we talking radio DJs or the scratching disk type DJs?

Jonathan Ross is my favourite.

yes, and what genre? also do we need to give reasons for naming our favourites - you haven't.

e.g. i like andy farley because he dj's at nursey parties sponsored by brand named rusks and his top tune of the moment is bob the builder.

Gotta be the "Hairy Cornflake" Dave Lee Travis.

Whilest were on the subject can anyone remember the name of the woman who presented family favourites in the 60s.

Who can forget the hilarity of Noel Edmonds' Late Late Breakfast Show (or somesuch banal confection) where they 'killed that bloke' (Michael Lush). Television going mad, even then in 1986 (or was it 87?).

I always liked Nick Abbott on early Virgin Radio (mw). He didn't really give a toss about the music, just mechanically went through the playlists and just ranted ad hoc for most of the show. patchy, but great fun when he got it right,

Kenny Ken (old school - love it!), Kenny Carpenter (Studio 54) and Harry Romero.

For what it's worth: Cajmere, DJ Sneak, Jeff Mills, Dave Clarke, Derrick Carter, Richie Hawtin.

Incidentally, according to the book 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' by Bill Brewster, Jimmy Saville was in all likelihood the first person IN THE WORLD to run a night at which he just played records for a paying public to dance to. Up till then, live music was always the order of the day. His modest experiments somewhere in West Yorkshire predated similar developments in America and Jamaica by a few years.

I've got too many to mention here, but: mr scruff, plump djs, ca$h money, james lavelle, dj shadow, dj food, cut chemist (jurassic 5), dj yoda, stanton warriors... :D :cool: :D

Sasha (between 1991-94 was my personal favourite time in his career), DJ Premier (Gang Star), DJ David (1990 world DJ champ)
and a few others who played when I was a regular at the various shindigs around the country!
Lost track of all the DJ's these days though.

Not forgetting the awesome Dj Dexter (of avalanches fame) - winner of DMC in 1998 and 1999!! And the scratch perverts and the... and... ...

Johnny Walker - and in case he ever reads Sheffield Forum, I am sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery and a massive hug (bet he doesnt though)


- and SheffieldLive! and Z-Man of course, we must support our own boys at the front

Adam Freeland, Plump DJ's, Stanton Warriors, Erik Morillo, DJ Sneak, DJ Hype + many others. Too many to list + no real favourite :)

To be honest, as long as the music is good, I don't really care who is DJing (in a club). I've never really been impressed by names on flyers/posters.

Hehe, mines not bad either :D

Saw Freeland at NY Sushi Big Bang 9 @ Ski Village - oh my god did I enjoy that set. Dropped his remix of 7 Nation Army and the place erupted :D :D :D

Heh heh sounds phat mate! My last great D'n'B gig was in Notts Ballroom for detonation - had grooverider and a load of locals there, but the system was second to none! The speakers had to be chained to the walls!!! Fabric's usually good although I've not been there in ages...

fabric is so overrated! i've been a few times and never been able to brock out proper.

its all about drum n bass arena at bed this friday - grooverider, randall, twisted individual, MCs det, rage and tonn piper.

if you like your breaks, stuff like oris jay then theres darqwan in room two.

Jazzy Jeff is pretty special, as is Cutmaster Swift. Rahzel the human beatbox is good, and the Masters at Work never disappoint.

My all time favourite though has to be Tim Westwood, now drop the bomb!!! (Tongue firmly placed in cheek!!!)
