    Do u try to play similar to any big name DJ?

    And if so who?

    I know its all about being unique, and having your own style, but there must be someone who u listen to and think i wish i play like him, or i want his tunes.

    I think mine's a crossover between Frantic ressidents Phil Reynolds and Andy Farley:D

    Wouldn't say I did but I had to name someone I'd say was Danny Howells. Plays anything and everything and it always works a treat!! :D

    Not a bad question really!!!, cause i think every dj deep down prides themselves on someone!!!, not to play exactly like them but to hav the same effect in there own sets as the dj has on his!!!

    Mine's van dyk purely and simply because he can play any style of music well, he play's it in such a way that he grasp's hold of u, and makes u take notice, he is a genius behind the dex.....mixin etc, and lastly because he has that stage presence!!!, u just know when he's on the dex!!!!, and what to expect!!!...........cause he alwasy delivers!!! :D :D :D

    I play alot of stuff that none or not many Uk dj's play.
    My style is quite unique.
    Its a few different styles fused together!

    Never seen you DJ, but after reading that I think I may have to sometime!

    Suppose I don't really try to play like people, but pick up inspiration from people like Paul Woolford, Yousef & Krysko.
    I tend not to play as jackin' or housey as them though, as relaly jackin' stuff is pretty hard to get yr hands on up here, so I tend to play a little darker :D

    Nope !

    He doesnt need to play "The Finest Trance" just to be a good DJ !

    Gonna have to do better than that :rolleyes:

    I doubt if R U Tribal ? was as good as Van Dyk he would want me as a mate :p ;) :lol:

    He's spot on at what he plays !

    If I were to DJ (which I'd like to but I'm too lazy to sort it out) I'd play a mix between Phil Reynolds and Ilogik if that would be possible.:p
