i don't know how trance will evolve but it's a good thing that DJs spins their own tunes. you have a good point when you said that there are a lot of DJs who play the same stuff, nothing original at all. so, making your own tunes and playing them, could be a good point in trance evolution and maybe will add a diversity.

Tiesto plays a lot of his own tunes and has also expressed that he some day want to just play his own. I don't mind some variation in sets though as producers tend to stick with the same elements (synths etc) in their remixes/productions. There are a lot of other ways to build up a liveset than the ASOT way..

like mista said i noticed that tiesto said he wanted to play an entire 8hour set using just his productions. this can only be good IMO. It signifies a progression from being a DJ to an artist and help make djs more respected in the wider music circle

Respect by who? I doubt if it will get any respect by diehard tranceaddicts. 8-hours of Tiesto productions would just be a stupid 8-hour hitparade with the same old tunes everyone heard like a 1000 times already. boring...

i meant people not so involved in trance just the wider music scene. my friends always take the piss that the djs who i go and see dont even play there own stuff but if they play more of their own trakcs it does give a certain validity

I think you mean more of their own commercial tracks? When Tiesto plays a tune like Obsession or Nyana, will that give your friends this certain validity? I doubt it.

i'm sorry but that would be the worst thing ever.

Why doesn't he just start doing live acts instead of playing his own records.. An 8 hour producers set is possibly the worst idea I have ever heard

For play his own productions there are the lives PA. And a live is so boring if the artist has only 3 or 4 good productions.

listen to paul plays paul @ casino 2001, i find that 1 of my fav sets. Autumn & Forbidden Fruit !!!!!!!!!! I would die to hear a set liek that. But only 3-4 producers have enough good productions for 2 hour sets not even talking about 8 hours.

i know paul has about 344 productions w/remixes...

If you're talking about what Tiesto said about TiC 2, then you're wrong. He said last year, TiC was only 60% his songs (though I beg to differ). This year, he'd like it to be 80%.

First to come into my mind > DuMonde.

Few own tunes is okay but if it's like 75-90% own tunes, nah.
