To be a DJ is to be a performer and some DJ’s like to speak with more than just their music. This top 5 list is dedicated to those DJ’s who wear the wildest and craziest outfits when they are playing in front of the crowd. You may have seen some of them perform but here is a closer look at these fashionistas.
-
Daft Punk
-
Bunny (Rabbit in the Moon/Rabbit)
-
Yoji Biomehanika
-
Deadmau5
-
Manufactured Superstars
Daft Punk should need no introduction but they were the first DJ Duo to sport their version of a uniform. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter make up Daft Punk and they have vowed to always perform with their faces covered and that has evolved into being replaced as animated characters in some of their work and it eventually led to the futuristic robots that you see here. Daft Punk wanted more than just their music to touch the crowd and they have truly accomplished that throughout their career which lands them as our number one.
Bunny from Rabbit in the Moon is truly a visual performer. He is part of Rabbit in the Moon which is now just referred to as Rabbit. Bunny is an incredible talent and has worked on many major remixes over his 20 year career. Even with all his talent as a producer, it seems to be his outrageous outfits and live performances that are most memorable. If you have the chance to catch Rabbit live you will not be disappointed!
Now just referred to as ‘Yoji’, this is one DJ that really has an intense persona. Japan is known for some crazy visual arts including their famous Japanese Anime. Yoji likes to make a statement himself and so he has earned his place on our Wildest Dressed DJ’s list.
Some people may think Deadmau5 should come in at the top of our list as he is one of the hottest acts to see at the moment. While Deadmau5 has certainly one of the craziest and recognizable costumes he doesn’t yet have the longevity and worldwide reach of the duo who took the top spot but Deadmau5′s persona could be the most fun on our list. Deadmau5 is touring this summer on his Meowingtons Hax Tour.
The Manufactured Superstars, Brad Roulier and Shawn Sabo, are not only DJ’s but 2 of the founding partners of beatport.com. In 2005 they decided to take their act on the road and if you see 2 guys in astronaut suits behind the decks you can be relatively sure it’s the Manufactured Superstars. Sometimes their appearance can be slightly altered but these two friends from Denver can really make a fashion statement while delivering their beats.
