I'm not including David Guetta in this poll because he's already pretty established.
Which rising DJ / producer do you prefer?
Benny Benassi:
Calvin Harris:

It's really difficult for me, bc as of only recently have I began to listen to their discographies.
It's clear that Benny has the catchier tunes - songs that are more pop friendly (at least as of late), while Calvin's songs a little more obscure. A plus on Calvin's side is that many of his songs contain organic elements (guitar and piano), while Benny's sounds are produced on a computer.
Although, I was trying not to do this, comparing WFL to Beautiful People (two songs produced by both DJ's that broke through in the US), I prefer Beautiful People a bit more because there is more element to the instrumental. I remember when I first heard WFL, it reminded me of an early 90s dance song. It sounded like the verse / chorus sections were copied and pasted. I honestly think it's the vocals that make that song, while it's the instrumental that makes "Beautiful People".
After much debate, I must say that I'm more of a fan of Calvin Harris because I enjoy the natural sound of some of his songs and respects that he includes them. I'm a fan of the obscurity and want to be suprised with each song too.
