Help needed for which DJ's...

[Mango4739]

Hi all,

I'm out of touch with the dance scene, I was into it around 10 years ago before I got married. The missus has let me and my mate get 3 day camping tickets, I can't frickin' wait!!!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the Prodigy, it's gonna be awesome.

Thing is I'm not sure about which DJ's should be on my list to see. I'm not into anything cheesy (with lyrics etc) but also not into anything too dark (although I do like a bit of trance).

I mainly like big build ups, Skrillex is someone I've been listening too recently.

Can anyone recommend who I should be looking out for so I can get some experience with their music before the August bank holiday weekend?

Thanks guys, roll on Creamfields!!!

Everyone has different tastes mate. Only think I can suggest is get onto iTunes, and have a listen to all the various DJ's podcasts & see which ones you like best.

If you're into electro then I'd recommend Knife Party, Porter Robinson, Zedd.. check out Feed Me, Borgore and Pegboard Nerds for the dubstep side of things, and then if you're feeling adventurous I'd recommend checking out Jack Beats, Alvin Risk, Monsta, and Baauer. Jaguar Skills is a good one to see if you're looking to hear the popular tunes from every genre, and for trance I'd say Mat Zo, Gareth Emery and Above & Beyond. Huuuuge choice of varied dance music so you're bound to find something you'll like!

Cheers TheHiddenPassenger, just what I was looking for! Looks like I've got some downloading to do!

Also Jack beats are absolutely amazing.

I've been going through the list and must say Knife Party are awesome. Also, I agree Jack Beats are amazing. Above and Beyond also do it for me.

August seems sooo far away!!!

I would highly recommend Eric prydz

[Callum Nicholls]

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike is a definite!

Hardwell and Laidback Luke my flatmate would say.

Aswell as Sebastien Ingrosso, Avicii, Tiesto and Afrojack.

He also said Annie Mac if it doesn't conflict with her pregnancy haha

Check these out!

_{I would recommend both above and beyond and mat zo seen them in June and they were both incredible especially if you like trance, I'd also recommend laidback luke, steve aoki and annie mac all have been incredible when I have seen them before, but there is plenty of choice so i'm sure you will find something you like.}

Too many artists I want to see this year. No chance ill get to see all the ones I want!

With the lineup you are bound to find something you like at all times. The real issue is trying to see as much as possible!

Nailed on to be some major clashes I want to see too many people, I can't wait. First 'proper' festival for me.
