I saw all of who is mentioned in this thread.
SS - no, that's just too funny
Nicky - good, but not as good as Andy, Mampi, Hype etc.
Randall - Amazing, great set programer
Hype - Really good, but not as good as Andy or Randall
Mampi - really good also, but rushed mixes and terrible on the eq's
Andy C - Best. Good set programer, great eq'er, just plain amazing DJ...made it, and continure to make it, look easy.

Can I just add that BC were producers who took up djing as a source of money. The quality of their mixing when they first started was a running joke although obviously everybody turned up to hear their tunes.
Also... Hype/Andy C/Mampi for sure. Lol at anyone who suggests Randall was ever better than Hype...

Actually Andy C's sets were way darker back then. I think he may just have had the edge.

Its all opinion innit...
As much as I loved your Andys/Zincs/Hypes blah blah blah back then.
For me it was more about selection.
So I would always go straight for the Frost/Ron/SL/Ned Ryder/XTC tapes, or attend the Roasts/Amazons/Pure X's of the time due to that fact.
For me the culmination of that less mainstream selection & still holding that skill level of the more widely bummed DJ's...
It has to be Dr S Gachet, man was & still is completely on point with every element of DJ'ing.
But as stated before, thats just me...

Every set I've seen, or listened to of SS has been shit. No proper flow, shit eqing and just overall poor djing.
I forgot to mention Zinc. He was really good too, but just seemed to lack something....never really figured it out.

Best intro to a set ever imo. Randall smashes it, he was the original double drop king.
