All the other states are doing their reflections of the year, so here is mine.

Best would be a tie between
Stacy Kidd @ Marble Bar (back in January - not his visit here a few weeks ago),
Richard Dinsdale @ Electric Circus in June and
Joachim Garraud @ Future Music Festival

Worst would probably be
Justice @ Parklife

Tribal Dancer Registered User	Marshall Jefferson at Rocket was pretty poor Huntermann was great! May was pretty good at Sugar too... Josh Wink was good until Felix the twat wrecked it

12 Dec 2007, 12:58pm	#10
innervisioned Registered User	Yeah Marshall was a bit dissapointing esp after HMC and t-Bot rocked it. I actually was realy amused by Felix's MCing. Thread Hijack look out for a Carl Cox interview in Onion early next year where he talks about that incident end shameless self promotion hijack

12 Dec 2007, 1:15pm	#11
twelve Registered User	Yeah Jefferson was a disappointment. Girly, vocal house played off of CD! three strikes and your out sonny... May was ok, but to be honest I can't remember much of that night

12 Dec 2007, 2:56pm	#12
anders8b a.k.a DJ Andaz	best, Roger Sanchez @ HQ I never remember the worst. Andaz www.myspace.com/andaz PHONATICS LIVE SHOW (Adel) MARCH 8th & 13th www.myspace.com/phonatics

caboose-moose Registered User	Steve Bug was last year, not this year, but i still havent seen a set to top that... My worst for the year would be acid jacks. Simply some of the worst djs i have ever seen. There are bedroom djs who could comprehensively whip their asses... And yet the electro kids love them... Best would go to the rush hour boys for that rush hour party at electric light... that was AWESOME!

12 Dec 2007, 5:49pm	#14
innervisioned Registered User	I'm spewing I missed that Rush Hour show, wanted to catch that

That was great night smallish crowd but all loving it, Recloose was fantastic as always

haven't seen many internationals Jan thru to May that impressed other than Recloose, was pretty disappointed by most performances at Future Music though Josh Wink / Felix was pretty funny at the time. As wingz said HMC's set was the best of that day.

The worst performance by an international was the Crystal Method djing at BDO afterparty sugar, he was licking the windopw before he satrted , couldn't use the cue function balmed the equipment, then played godauful 15-20 mins before he was dragged from the decks by spank rock. Dont do Acid and DJ kids!!

DEEPHOUSEMAN Registered User	I would have to say Tom Clark tops the list for me @ EC earlier in the year. Derrick May was OK. Marshall Jefferson as everyone has said was disappointing. Missed the Rush Hour gig.......

well if interstate counts, Daft Punk@Music Bowl by miles and miles... then probably DJ T @ Field Day or Ewan Pearson & Peace Division @ Minimal Fuss

Otherwise..

Best -
Digitalism @ Parklife
Oliver Huntermann @ FMF
Wink @ FMF
Diplo @ BDO
Hot Chip @ BDo

Worst -
Justice/Busy P @ Parklife.... they were way way to smashed and the set turned to shit.
Crystal Method @ BDO.. HAHAHAH
Dj T @ Producers.... only for the annoying sound and small turnout... he was also one of the better sets I saw @ EC a year or so ago.

Derrick May bored me as well, but thats coz I'm not a big fan of detroit, so worst is way too strong a word Smile :)

14 Dec 2007, 9:50pm	#23
dubius Registered User	also most dissapointing was MIA @ parklife she was doin good but her sound guy wasnt doin so well, barely heard a word she said...how hard is it to get a frikkin microphone workin? and then yeah i had to deal with justice thereafter sicker than using period blood for war paint

14 Dec 2007, 10:59pm	#24
JamRock Registered User	Justice at Parklife was up there as the worst for me Derrick Carter was slammin didnt make it to Future Music Fest Derrick May was good had a pretty quiet year apart from that really T E C H P H O N I C S - S A T M A R C H 2 2 N D JamRockOut with my CockOut

15 Dec 2007, 8:01am	#25
WINGZ Cold Chillin	I'd like to add Crystal Method Dj's at BDO as my worst set of the year as well, man they were terrible. What? It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up. - Muhammad Ali

16 Dec 2007, 4:55pm	#26
innervisioned Registered User	Yeah I'ma gonna add two more defo Daft Punk@ Myer Music Bowl - been waiting more than 10 years to see em and they didnt dissapoint. And Justin Timberlake@ Entertainment Centre it was an amazing spectacle, plus the dude's got talent and the band was shit hot

16 Dec 2007, 5:07pm	#27
ledz Registered User	best sets... Upbeats @ HQ (oct 12th 07) and i wouldnt say these were the best but they were quite good:: Black Sun Empire @ HQ and Temper D @ HQ and at enchanted i couldnt really say any acts blew me away, except our local boys fiction b2b filter, i really enjoyed their set!! i know theyre not inters but it was awesome!! worst.... hmmm..... i didnt really like Mampi Swift's set @ St Pauls

Nah I wasnt high actually, had to play after bug so tried no to get too messy before hand. I really did think it was awesome, ive heard lots of sets from him too but I think that is one of the best. He flogged it and worked the crowd brilliantly we were all hoarse by the end of the night. 90% of what he played id never heard before.

Can we see him again please? And i take it no ones picked up john tejada... cry :~(

shr3dder ITM Contributor	Bugs in the country for Playground Weekender next year..... I'd agree with Brick on Bug, still love too see him again next year.

NTrance1 Registered User	Daft Punk (Perth) ... so far ahead of anything else. Derrick Carter @ Parklife Derrick May @ Sugar Klaxons @ HQ Sneaky Sound System @ Thebby The Streets @ BDO Yoji @ PVD ... my highlights. Only been out about 8 times this year ... can't think of any acts that disappointed me (I liked Justice at Parklife)
