Favorite house dj using Scratch Live?

I haven't heard much conversation about favorite house dj's. Who knocks your socks of behind the decks using Scratch Live.
I'm on the hunt for some new dj's to check out and who better to ask than you guys!
Respect :)

James Zabiela! He tweeted about The Bridge and the CDJ2000's on HID mode. If he made the switch, than he's def someone to check out. He's insane!

Sad but (too) many use that other sh!t but a few have seen the light. I think I saw old school/soulful House DJ - Mike Dunn out of Chicago was using Serato when he was the featured DJ at an event here in Detroit earlier this year.
I think I remember seeing one or two other deep House DJs (from NYC) using Serato @ afterparties during DEMF here in Detroit but was too wasted to remember who they were - LOL.
A local DJ here, Jenny Le Femme www.djlafemme.com who is breaking nicely on the International circuit still uses Serato for the moment - although Native Instruments is trying to woo her too. I guess she would be my favorite at the moment.

My list of house djs using traktor is way longer than djs using Serato. Traktor do got some selling point features a EDM dj can't overlook, sad but true. Don't wanna start another debate out of this thread, but sure hope Serato will close these gaps asap.

She had one under the media section of her website but that was from 2008, heres some more recent stuff.
Here's a link to some of Jenny's mixes on Soundcloud:
soundcloud.com
Here's a recent Tech House mix she did:
hotfile.com
And here's a video of her at a Picnic that I helped throw earlier this summer:
www.facebook.com
Cool thing that I first noticed is she is not a just pretty face and a pair of tits like so many other female DJs - the girl can rock.
I think she has more vids on her facebook: www.facebook.com
Ok enough - before it seems like I am a stalker or better yet have to charge her a managers fee. Seriously, she is one of the coolest DJs I have met in a quite a while (and I have been meeting DJs for many, many, many years)

Donald Glaude. I may be biased since he was one of my original influences way back in the day, but the last few times I have seen him, he has been on Serato.
Chad S.
6:21 PM - 5 October, 2010
Dude, Donald is a god. He's a hometown hero for us and we all remember him shoppping in the record store we all use to work in on the regular. That guy is an idol in seattle. Deservedly so.
Eric N
6:23 PM - 5 October, 2010
Unless NI has signed him as a Traktor spokesman in the last year or so lol. You guys should make him a sponsorship offer. ;) The last few times I have seen him in Tacoma he was using an SL1 with Pioneer CDJs.
*side note* I don't really understand touring DJs that don't do video and use Serato with CDJs. Seems to me you would want to use 1200s with SSL or just bring a book of CDs lol. Don't get me wrong, I love SSL, but that's one thing that makes me scratch my head and wonder.

Looks like he is still on Team SSL. =)
From his myspace...
"Continuing to be “The Hardest Working American Dj” Donald has many new projects planned for this upcoming year. He has a tour scheduled with “America’s Most Beloved Dj” Dj Dan and he also has another new CD releasing in 2007. Also expect new release from all three of his labels Eden Recordings, Durty Records and DGR. You have seen him use his musical talents from bring his experience in playing bass, percussion, violin and then moving on to the turntable just show us his grasp on music. To mastering the turntable and then on to recently turned Serato user always expect the unexpected when you come see Donald Glaude………"

he had a van that traveled with him...in fact i believe he had a film crew too.

Chad does it not seem abit worrying that people like Richie Hawtin, Seth troxler Lee foss etc etc, all used to use ssl and then moved to NI.
Is rane worried about the house djs? Or they more trying to aim at hip hop/commercial djs?
I love ssl but would love to see other djs I go and see use it.
Every year I'm in Ibiza I see about 20 big name djs and I would say 15 of them are on traktor and the rest just on cd or vinyl.

And please don't hate on me, I had traktor and came back to ssl because of the brilliant support I have had from you guys. The people at NI where not so quick to help.
Chad S.
7:52 PM - 15 August, 2011
No hate, I honestly think it boils down to a lack of auto sync in Scratch Live. We at Rane tech support have been asking for 2 years and really heavily this last year for that feature.
Mixing 4 decks without auto sync and still managing your SP-6 and DJ FX can be near impossible. Having the sync capability for our Sixty Eight, Sl-4 and even SL-3 would be tremendous even though i would choose not to use the feature since I'm usually mixing two decks.
You have a good point, let's hope Serato gives us what we know the people are asking for.

9:01 PM - 15 August, 2011
i also most of the time use two decks and there for not worried about sync, but with alot of the djs using 3/4 decks or just playing loops and samples like you say they want/need sync.
I think you guys have one advantage of having the awsome hid support with the 2000s(what I use)
This with auto sync would surly be a winner for house and techno djs.
I used to fight the corner against it but I think that's just the way things are going to be so iv stopped fighting it and trying to embrace it. :)
I'd love to see either the kontrol x1 properly supported or you guys making a controller very similar so if need be you can use ssl without decks as you can with NI.
Cheers kris :)

I recently went to Ibiza and I didn´t see one single Serato dj there. Pretty much like you said most where using traktor or CDJs.
As for me, I decided to wait a little, because I really wanna use scratch live because I think its awesome on other things, and I weak hope that a sync feature is looked into soonish. But as time stretches I will eventually switch if its not implemented. And they need to hurry because they loosing customers already, no doubt about that.

I think serato is one of the only dvs systems without sync now, so I can't see what there is to lose by adding it.
People who don't like it don't have to use it and it's not as if there is any other software they can jump to without sync!
I say bring it on, I want to see some serious techno djs using ssl again! :)
