In the Moscow crowd, every second guy with an account on SoundCloud For some reason he considers himself a DJ. But DJing is a very delicate matter, and real professionals who are loved and appreciated by everyone from Shahri Amirkhanova(38) to store employees Prada V Stoleshnikov Lane, you can count on your fingers. That's what we do. We also explain what to prepare for if you have never been to their parties.
ABOUT Kozake there are legends. Firstly, he is the founding father, which thundered back in " Solyanka" In 2014, however, the shop was closed, and Vitalik’s love boat migrated from China-Cities on Stoleshnikov Lane, and now periodically passes in Denis Simachev shop & bar, where Kozak is accompanied by a combat friend Natasha Turovnikova and another girl who remembers the very first “love boats”, shocking Eva Vostroknutova. And almost every Friday Vitalik plays at parties in a five-star Ritz-Carlton on Tverskaya.
However, Vitalik also plays in bars from time to time (quite often) alone. Today he may be in Noor Bar on Tverskaya, tomorrow at Mondriaan on Pokrovka, and the day after tomorrow - all in the same native " Simacheve" The capital’s partygoers have long learned his playlist by heart: here you can Alla Borisovna (67) with her " Iceberg", And Vetlitskaya (52) with his " Who did you exchange me for?", And (34) With " With my eyes", and Vitalik's absolute favorite Musya Totibadze (20) which was a couple of months ago. And it’s not even worth saying that Kozak can play this song up to 10 times a night.
If you have ever been to Stoleshnikov Lane and its famous bars, then I probably saw this guy in a white baseball cap (he always wears it). Even if he doesn’t have a DJ set scheduled today, then at the “checkpoint” in “ Enthusiast“He’ll definitely stop by. His repertoire includes selected house, and he mixes all the tracks (this is really important) like clockwork.
The list of his devoted fans includes such people as lead singer SBHR Kirill Ivanov, band member Pompeya Sasha Lipsky and many other handsome men from the capital who dance until the morning to Mark’s sets in “ Strelka" - that's where he plays music most often.
– these are five old friends: modest and super calm Ivan, long hair Arthur with a languid look from under his glasses (he periodically takes photographs of his party guests and hides in the crowd), smiling Arseny, always serious Lesha And Marco with perfect hair (and at birthday parties, he pours all the guests a shot of “ Absolute" and does not leave until they drink to his health). In the summer of 2012, they organized their first party at Strelka- and away we go.
Now these five friends are playing opening of the skating rink in Gorky Park, they tell The Village about how to organize the perfect party and delight everyone with new music on your weekly Telegram-channel. In short, today the entire Moscow crowd knows them by sight and dances until the morning to their sets, where hip-hop touchingly goes hand in hand with good pop and new items from the album Mac Miller (25). Yes, DFF They periodically “tour” bars and even cities, but let’s face it, it’s best to dance to their music where it all began – on the summer veranda of the Strelka bar.
Fedor Fomin
Fedor Fomin- it's about pop music. And yes, we are not ashamed to admit that we love to dance to it most of all. Fomin himself once stated: “ I don't go to parties because there is no second Fedor Fomin».
And in general, he has something to do in his free time: Fyodor, by the way, is an exemplary family man, a loving husband and father, and at his parties he plays whatever the heart of the capital’s drunkard desires: and “ Mushrooms", And " Caspian Cargo", And Robin Thicke (39), And (35) .
In short, there is never a dull moment at his parties. And he usually plays either “ Simache", or in " Clave" on Patricks.
Let's be honest: only a tenth of the public goes to DJ sets for the sake of American pop music of the 2000s, while the rest go to see Emily Ratajkowski(25) local spill and her endless legs. After all, it’s doubly nice when such a beautiful girl puts on good music.
True, in Moscow she gets behind the controls less and less often. After all, now she is a sought-after DJ, who can have up to 10 flights in a week: then Tbilisi, That NY, That Ekaterinburg.
But if Dasha does get a chance to play in the capital, she usually stays at the same “Simachev”.
Another beauty on the list of the most popular Moscow DJs will very soon become our “girl of the week,” but that’s not about that now.
You probably saw her in the video Lazareva (33) to the song "Straight into the heart" or in the lookbook of some brand (with such a figure it would be a shame not to advertise it), but believe me, this is not all that she can do.
Wake her up at 4 am, she'll tell you a story straight away a (39) and write a review of the album A$AP Mob, - all because she is a true hip-hop professional. When she plays at parties in " Lisitsa», « Nure" or " barely", to the songs of Kanye, A$AP Rocky (28), a (30) and a dozen more hot rappers dance absolutely everything. And not only because hip-hop has somehow become incredibly fashionable lately, but also because Karina dances super-fiery.
This guy, unlike the others, is not at all about pop, not about hip-hop or even about house, but they still know him, love him and dance to him. His name is, and he is the face of the domestic techno scene. Nikita himself also said that techno is the most understandable and convenient genre for the embodiment of his ideas.
Choosing the best club music artist is largely a battle of tastes. There are many directions that are radically different from each other. However, general ratings are compiled annually, which include the best DJs. Let's find out who is now the leader of this list in Russia and in the world.
What criteria are used to choose the best DJs?
There are several ways to be among the best. In most cases, ratings are based on the number of listeners and fans. You can call it a popular vote. However, it cannot be said that it is objective, because people listen to those who often speak and have the opportunity to be rotated on the radio.
It is common practice in the world to select DJs for the best lists based on their fees. Russia cannot yet compete with European and American club performers, since their fees amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The most truthful rating of DJs is when the performers independently choose the best of their colleagues. Everything is taken into account here: from the playing style to the use of unusual sound combinations. Such lists often indicate emerging performers who have every chance of becoming famous throughout the country.
Top five DJs in the world
When we hear the phrase “best DJs,” the names of world celebrities immediately come to mind. This year, professional media published the following list of the best:
- Tiësto is the most popular DJ. He is one of the highest paid performers.
- The Skrillex (Sony has achieved what only a few DJs in the world have been able to achieve. He has several Grammy awards and has received similar plaques in Europe on several occasions.
- Swedish House Mafia is a group of several DJs; today they have already completed their touring activities, but have not lost their popularity.
- David Guetta is practically a legend among DJs. He was able to achieve unprecedented popularity, in particular thanks to videos on Youtube.
- Steve Hiroyuki Aoki is actively touring. Despite his Asian origin, he spends most of his time in the USA and Europe.
All of the listed DJs in the world have high fees and prestigious music awards. Their tracks can be heard on almost all radio stations in the world, and their videos receive hundreds of thousands of views.
Most in the world
The above ranking does not include the best DJs of the last decade. For example, Paul Van Dyck from Germany. He is not only a talented performer, but also the owner of his own clothing brand, Dirty Couture. He is also the director of a television show. More than one generation of club music lovers has grown up with his work.
Deadmau5 (Thomas Zimmerman) attracts attention with his stage costume - he wears a huge Mickey Mouse mask during his performances. At the same time, he was able to interest fans in his work, which allows him to receive fabulous fees.
Popular Russian DJs
It’s worth talking separately about which Russian DJs were included in the ranking of the best this year:
- DJ Lvov. It can be heard in the capital's club "NEO". Performances take place every weekend.
- DJ Riga from Moscow is the favorite of millions. He has been performing since 1998, is now a resident of DFM, and has his own show.
- DJ Romeo has been performing for over 17 years. During that time, he managed not only to acquire fans, but also to launch his own clothing line. He is the owner of several clubs and restaurants.
- DJ Kubikov is currently working on the SCSi-9 project in Europe. Perhaps we will soon see him in the world rankings.
- DJ Leonid Rudenko already has worldwide fame. He began his career under the auspices of manager Paul Van Dyke. It can often be found in European charts.
All these DJs have the opportunity to gain worldwide fame. They have crowds of fans and high fees for Russia.
Who will be included in the ratings in the near future?
While venerable Russian DJs are retiring or moving to Europe, young and promising performers are appearing in the domestic show business. They are not afraid to experiment with sound and record interesting tracks. For example, Dj ONeill Sax from St. Petersburg, combining electronic music and playing the saxophone. Perhaps he is not yet as widely known as Rudenko, but many European stations have already included his tracks in their rotation lists.
The Swanky Tunes quartet from Saratov has earned popularity thanks to its playing technique. The participants of this project set a real record - a remix of the song “Spring” (performer “Dolphin”) was included in rotation on all Russian popular music radio stations. Later remixes set download records. Swanky Tunes are the best DJs in the country according to professionals. The quartet received recognition from other DJs, which is extremely important.
Why doesn't everyone agree with the ratings?
The ratings we provide may not please everyone. There is no point in arguing about tastes. Among the world and domestic stars of the club scene there are many talented people. Everyone can find the performer they like. Some create only their own tracks, while others prefer to do remixes. Almost any track can find its audience.
Many may disagree with best-of lists due to their love for a particular style of music. After the heyday of club culture, a huge number of trends appeared in it. If earlier any electronic music was called “techno”, now people who are far from club life can get confused in the styles. Despite some subjectivity, lists of the best musicians are compiled with enviable frequency.
Every year, one of the most prestigious magazines, DJ Mag, conducts a vote among electronic music fans to identify the public's favorites. Over 300,000 people around the world take part in the voting, and then the results are summed up.
