AJ Dub

Secret Plans and Clever Tricks

Breaks/House

Fat, chunky, face-scrunching beats. No cheese. Tight mixing, tighter programming. Sick basslines. Dubby vocals. Every set is a story regardless of the genre.



Andre Di Cicco

Beats of Interest

House

House with scratching, breaks, hip hop influence.



Ferris Bueller

Barryz Dirty Dubz

Beats, Breaks and Movers

If it's good play it... it could be some MJ, could be some oldschool disco 12", or some breaky stuff from Timo, or some Chicago house. It’s all about good music.



Jesse James

Ever Delicious Vol.1

House

I play a high energy set of tribal, intense, vocally house. A mix of great producers like Seamus Haji, Martin Solvieg, and Chus & Ceballos.



DJ Johannes Gerhard

Aural Pleasure 3

Driving, Uplifting Progressive

Driving yet happy progressive house. I like to be taken on a journey when I go out, so I like to imitate that when I play. Bass heavy tracks with plent of synth stabs and prog vocals. I like to make subtle shifts in the vibe of the room... warming it up, raising hands, then dropping the hammer.



Johnny Omega

House Promo

House/Hip Hop

Lot of the great and late local talent here in Vancouver.



DJ K-Tel

Music For Freaks

House

A tinge of the old style electro from the 80's, disco and funk from the 70's with the house flavour. Sexy vocals for that identifiable human connection. Plus a little bit of the cheesy fun past that we all loved then somehow hated (but we all secretly love for some reason).



DJ Nemesis

Mixology Radio 2004: Alpha X

Progressive/Trance

Pumping uplifting trance, but I usually start off with progressive/house and build it up from there. I love a bit of good thumping tribal as well as a bit of a funky groove thrown in there before building things up to the more pumping melodic and uplifting stuff. Occasionally I also throw in a couple breaks tracks and a touch of techno. I always try to play a set that progresses and actually goes somewhere, rather than just cane one sound all the way through… something I will enjoy as much as the crowd will. Sometimes I play more towards the house/progressive side a bit more, sometimes more towards the trancy and more pumped up side… depending on where I am playing of course.



Vinnie the Squid

Bump in the Night

Funky House

DJ/Producer/Turntablist, with 9 years of background spinning hip hop and electronic music makes for a consistent blend of tight mixing, scratching, and turntable tricks, combined with the ability to operate many turntables at one time.You wont be disappointed!

Congratulations to all the Vancouver winners. Good luck to everyone, hope to hear you had a great time meeting Pete Tong. ;) Also, I would love to know who entered beacuse they found out about the this competition here off FNK.

Thanks de-ken! You can download the set that was used to enter this. Just go to www.djnemesis.com and it's in the audio section. Should be interesting this comp.. me being a trance/progressive dj going up against house djs, to be judged by 2 of the city's top house promoters (Savio&Alvaro) and one of the city's best house djs(Marcello)! Definetely a challenge.. haha.. but who knows.

[soma]

nicework boys!

[REV]

ya, it's too bad there isn't a non-house music judge like Czech or Shiu or lots of others. Wish ya luck against the house. I still think Soma's set was the best one

[tvmann]

In the house competition in Toronto July 8 there is Cinar Onat (DJ Fuzion), who is very experienced with trance also and has had many gigs, and got to interview many big DJs for TV. Has a commercial mix double-CD out for a couple of years - "Trance Euro Express".
