Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

I. I would love to see the people that bash the top 5 dj's in the world attempt to do what they do and never screw up....I can bet that would never happen.

I am not here to cause trouble or cause such a stink like this thread and a few other trance threads have caused. I know this is a primarily house forum, and I love house...that is why I joined here in the first place. I guess I just thought that overall it would be a forum where people could talk about all styles of electronic music and possibly learn like on several other forums I am part of, where people talk about all genres and rarely ever attack another dj/style.

Anyways, I have said my piece and I thank all of you that said kind words in this thread about me, they did not go unnoticed or appreciated.

Who are the top 5 dj's??
I joined here because when I used to talk on tranceaddict they used to bash the shit out of me for liking house. This is a house site.

Tiesto sucks.

Yikes, thats a lot of heavenly sounds. I dont think any of us mean to offend, but the point that really aggrevates me, which I thought was the reason for this thread, is the high ticket prices. Its not like its a 3-day festival with 100 Dj's or a private boat party that S&D are playing on. Its just one headliner from the Netherlands and some local Djs. $60-$75 is a lot of bread for one man.

I'm guessing that the response will be something like...

'Then don't go. There will be plenty of us there that are willing to pay $75 per ticket to see Tiesto. Without people like you there it means that there will be that much more room to wave our glowsticks, trade candy, and have cuddle puddles. Not to mention that there won't be people like you hogging all the pills.'

Let's see how close I am.

I hate when the music stops at trance parties they look at the dj with their arms in the air like he is a god.. kind of freaky IMO..

And then there is the DJ - Trance DJs also throw their hands in the air during a break down and expect everyone to look at them like gods. The fans are only too happy to comply, scary doesn't even begin to describe it

no sh1t, it is weird and wrong in many ways. i mean, i dont like trance... but it is hard to produce music in any genre imo (some harder than others). how can the foolish dj's raise their hands to something they didnt make and demand admiration. then on top of that have these silly fans think these dj's are gods for mixing other peoples music. have some humility, you are getting paid for playing peoples records that they spent hours on and got paid sh1t for.

i was at a sasha show few weeks ago, and some dude turned to me and just pointed up and just shook his head and said "amazing". i like sasha, and traveled far to see him then... but jesus...

Your right! JZ, Steve Porter, Eli Wilkie, Hernan, Sander, Danny Howells, Steve Lawler etc etc etc would NEVER do that..... . This thread has gone down the proverbial shitter....

lol. there was a local dj (when i lived in detroit) who was the king of this. if anyone has ever seen kenneth thomas play, his hands are in the air above his head way more then they are on the mixer. with every cord change he has to shake a fist or wave his arms like it's actually his arms that are responsible for the chord change, not the record. but, this evidently works, because who is he now opening for across the states? you guessed it, the lord and savior - paul oakenfold himself.

KT i'd like to give you something that you should put right next to your horrible trance records.

to be honest i,ve seen higher ticket prices for raves and big events over here but usually when tickets are that high they put on a big show with lights, entertainment fairgrounds and a whole load of dj's who play different styles ( in different tents )...would i pay that 2 see maybe one or 2 dj's for a couple of hours @ a time?


FUCK NO....man i saw pink floyd for less than that

Re: Tiesto sticks it to Toronto

I just have to throw this in there. There's some trance out there I like, hell I'll be the first person to argue that lots of what Sasha was playing at Twilo was trance. Shit he dropped a shitload of BT and PVD tracks in those days. I'll even listen to a bit of it nowadays, as my wife is a fan of some of em. I even saw Tiesto before most of the world knew him when he was tearing up dancefloors in Israel frequently (pre-2000).


....but here's my huge gripe with trance djs today: For some reason of all the sets I listen to (or tracklists I've seen), there's a lot less variety in the tracks that a particular trance dj will play from one night to the next. There's less variety between the tracks that different trance djs play, with the exception that each individual trance dj has a good number of their own tracks or remixes that only they play. I rarely have seen a house or techno or electro or just about any other genre set that every single track has been identified the second that the dj drops the track.

So let me ask...

Are the trance fans just so much more knowledgeable of the genres tracks than in house/electro/etc? This I seriously doubt...

Are there just so few "good" trance tracks out there right now that the djs don't have much of a choice?

and just to add one small defense of em, I've noticed over the last few years that many of the djs are now dropping many tracks that many house/progressive/electro djs play and many of the artists that so many people here love...just from tiesto's in search of sunrise latin america (my wife bought this), how many people hate these artists: Tonedepth & Sultan, Wighnomy Brothers, Tilt (Dousk remix), Luke Chable, Matthew Dekay or Grayarea?

Now I'll grant you, trance isn't really my sound (I feel it lacks the depth of many other genres), nor is a trance kiddie crowd my kinda thing (no offense to anyone here, but in NYC their crowd is very much this sort). People just need to lighten up a little...kinda like Tiesto:
