Reply to Ideas on best R&B club DJ out there?

Hey guys,
I'm no spring chicken when it comes to DJing (10 years+), but last evening I played a a massive R&B , Hip Hop evening here in Sydney, it's been a couple of years since I've done a main room.
I was the opener and played a pretty standard set of 80-110 BPM classic Hip Hop and R&B, some tasty reedits and short mixes etc to keep the energy up.
In the big scheme of things it was a pretty good set.
BUT, when the next guy came on my set felt immediately dated!
This guy was killin' it!
I realised that the dynamic has changed since I last played a main room. (I normally do main room Commercial house and Electro but not club R&B Hip Hop type stuff).
My question is:
who do you consider to be the best in this field and why?
and is there a good online source for the kind of tracks that they play?
I mean I have all the big tunes, just not the versions that these guys play.

Last evening completely inspired me to up my game, so I'd be grateful for you thoughts.
All the best
Jonesy
