UFO! in 1998. He was a brilliant dj at the time. He has disappointed me every time I have seen him since then.

was there mate- well good! the trumpet blasts in between mixes!

for me? d'n'b-wise, i remember some amazing sets by ez rollers and dj rap that just blew me away as a well-underage raver. more recently, goth-trad and youngsta at various dmz's, mala at exodus in last year, and i distinctly remember just shaking my head in disbelief hearing pinch's set at the post-carnival rinseout dmz.

Fabric about 4/5 years ago when Craze, Klever and A-Trak plus the Scratch Perverts had a special night. Klever did his routine that juggled Ludacris 'Fantasy' and I nearly cried. Probably the best juggle EVER. Then Craze got on the decks and played Method Man 'Bring The Pain'. I was crying then.

Loads more but this one was a smasher.

Casco @ Cosmo in farrigndon in November ish last year.

ITALO ledgend, tnuc was about 50-60 years old, short as fuck and surrounded by hot ladies all night.

Played every italo classic under the sun...the only man allowed to do that!

AMAZING!

not wanting to gloat but i also saw him last year at glade festival but it was nowhere near is good and didn't have the same atmosphere

another wicked dj set was when i saw this breakcore guy called filistine in this amazing venue in a cave outside of barcelona and he played loads of his set by drumming on a shopping trolley

i was pretty much sober as drinks were obcenely expensive but it was fucking amazing

Boo3, New Jersey --Mix Master Mike in 2000?...... I heave never heard such insane scratching in my live, also every fucking DJ at that party had their A+ game on, best party ever.

Ultra - Carl Cox - 2006 - 3 Hours of the best techno I have ever heard. Also at that party Sander Klienberg had an amazing set.

Some random night a long time ago at Nations in DC - maybe in 1998/9? - Dieselboy - with some dope ass drum and bass (before he had fucking Messinah with him all the time , who I can't stand.)

Another random night at Nations in DC - probably around 2003? - Total Science with no MC (I see a trend here with DNB MCs)

Fever - Baltimore, Maryland - 1999 - Josh Wink and Nigel Richards had 2 amazing house sets I will never forget.

Amon Tobin at Fletchers in Baltimore - 2000 - this guy kills it live, how he mixes his genres is amazing.

more recent - Quest and Silkie - Dubwar 2008

Mala and Loefah - my first ever Dubwar - 2007

Oh and I can't forget The first time I saw DOnald Glaude -at Nation probably 2002 or so, on the deck for 4 hours....this was before he went all electro.....killer fucking selection of house.

On of the best dj sets I ever heard was Richie Hawtin in NYC sometime in 2002.

The most memorable dubstep night I went to was JuJu playing in Chicago in 2007.

one that stands out recently - dj premier at BBE records b'day bash last year at canvas. everyone who was there knew all the words to all the tunes. the only pull up was on ante-up by MOP, largely because a mosh to rival anything i've ever been involved in at a hardcore gig started. primo absolutely annihilated it.

best dj set you've ever seen live
