Man is easily the best dj i listen 2...
a lot of people say n-type is there fave, but i like the way youngsta takes it deep, not just with his selection, but with his techniques, skips, previews..keeps you on your toes to bring you solidarity for the whole of the mix....
(his selection is over dumb aswell lol)

Its hard to compare Youngsta and N-Type when it comes down to mixing because both have different styles.
Youngsta lets a tune play for a good few minutes while he lines up the next one where N-Type is straight in with quick mixes.
Look at the Dubstep Allstars series for example.
13 tracks (Youngsta) vs 38 tracks (N-Type)
Both DJ's are as tight as a nuns anus and probably both are the most successful dubstep dj's interms of bookings who dont produce on a level like most.

Im not entirely sure. I like the way N-Type can get through more than half a bag in one of his sets. I suppose its more effort and harder if you mix fast.
But then I prefer it when youngsta drops a few percys and its nice to hear them full length.

youngsta is undoubtedly technically better, more creative mixing, set building and better EQing.. but of course many might just (and do) prefer n type's quick mix style. also youre forgetting is youngsta does do quick mixes just holds them for longer, therefore gettin through less tracks

is there somewhere i can d/l this please guy?
Youngsta is one of (if not THE) favorite DJ of mine.
He does take you on a journey - his tune selection and mixing are always bang on point - ive never witnessed a beat out of sync or a tune in the wrong place - his sets are perfection for me.
Technical ability is second to none - and i love his style of mxing, as he rides the mix - no 16 then over business - he properly blends each tune to sound like one even better tune....
great guy too - always a pleasure to go see him when im shopping for records
big up younx

Nobody else builds momentum or mixes as cleanly and in as satisfying way as Youngsta imo Find his selection a bit standard but his style of mixing means that a certain type of tune works and others don't.
His set at FWD at the End was sick, cutting things in completely on beat- everything with that driving rhythm.

Youngsta selects his tunes carefully, thats what i like about him. But also the lasersharp mixing and Task on the vocals

Youngsta is a badman DJ. Love watching him mix live, he is properly in his zone. IMO he is one of the true DJ's in this scene, that builds a journey from his mixing, not just showcasing tunes.

Yeah there should be more DJ DJs I reckon, although there are some sick producer DJs of course.

Youngsta is equal to N-Type in my mind...they are both amzing but on a different wavelength.
Hands up anyone who's seen Yunx do a warm-up at Exodus??
