While I like DJ sets, I can't say I have loads of experience in the genre. Hoping y'all can help turn me onto some good stuff in this thread.

One set that I stumbled upon recently in my YouTube feed was called "Percussive Dub, Spiritual Jazz & Psychedelic Grooves with Millie McKee" and I've found myself coming back to it a couple times...

One channel that I love to tune into for DJ sets is called Boiler Room... I'm gonna drop y'all a bunch of different sets from this below.

As far as DJs go, I quite like Nicolas Jaar's sound; I especially love his band Darkside who I think are DJ enough for a mention here. Can't say I've listened to much of him live, but here's something for y'all:

As a LCD Soundsystem freak, I'm well familiar with James Murphy's dj set here on Boiler Room. To me it's cool because ya can clearly see the influences in the types of music he plays:

I know little about KILIMANJARO, but this recent Boiler Room set I watched definitely made me wanna be there, haha!

Similarly, I tuned into this set by Sama' Abdulhadi recently and the vibe is just so strong:

Lastly, while I have no clue how they are live, I also really dig DJ Koze – especially loved the album Amygdala. So many great songs off that album... try out the instrumental Royal Asscher Cut:
