VIVA ...which gets rammed to the tits every Fri. ....so he's obviously doing something right..and all those 100's... if not 1000's of people there seem to get it. I personally.. do not play vocal tracks that much..nor Tiesto trax. When I was at Rev. spinning...a million people came up to me asking me to play Tiesto.. it's natural. It's commercial and well known..but the majority of the trax...no one knew..and they were still dancing until they had to kick us out. I did however.. play AvB-Shivers... just to shut them up a bit.. but that was the only track anyone in there knew. BTW.. Tim doesn't really play TRANCE.. so I wouldn't go there expecting him to play Trance. He plays mainly TECHNO. So I guess you guys aren't big Techno fans then. Oh well...can't please everyone.  .. oh yeah! welcome to TA  |
guys dont worry. just let these people say what they want, fuck it. hopefully they will open up their mind to different types of EDM someday and learn to have FUN, and whining! *whine whine* open your mind and fuckin have fun!
that being said....
The night was awesome as always! dennis started off the night with some banging tracks, got me into it right from the beginning. I brang my friend and his gf, their first time at a place like that, and they loved it! tim, you killed it as always man. so many times i'd look around, and everyone was going nuts! so wicked!
I have to leave for work in 5minutes lol. I got 2 hours sleep, YESSS! lol!
until next time people 
Glad everyone seemed to have a good time last night! Sorry I had to leave early, I really didn't want to but I had to be back in Toronto to leave now for a work trip up North...
Again, amazing TA turnout... my night starts when you guys get there I swear... took me a while to get in the mood last night but eventually I did because of you guys and your energy. TA's are starting to bring other people out to this well kept secret and that's great because we need to build the scene!
In response to the debate going on here I do want to make a comment. We are definately talking about taste in music here and not skill because anyone that knows anything about the technical side of djing knows that Tygon is as good as they come.
Here's the thing though... if you want to make it as a dj you MUST find your own sound. Playing commercial and recognizable tracks may bring a few more people to your little side room that don't know anything about EDM- but they won't make it a point to remember you anyway and playing this type of music won't get you respect among industry insiders. You need to be creative and original. I'm lucky because my sound seems to be embraced by EDM purists and folks that like the more recogizable stuff as well because it appeals to both... I don't water it down and I can still play with an edge. But the truth is, Tiesto and Dumonde (fantastic guys as they are) haven't released anything good in well over a year... if they did and it fit my sound, absolutely I'd play them. But they haven't done anything and I'm not going to play Tiesto-Traffic because it'll appease the 20 or so Tiesto worshippers in there that haven't bothered to realize there are lots of better artsists out there anyway.
Anyways, glad you all had fun, thanks for your continued support and we'll see you all on the 20th with Kevin Turner!

w0w ... lolz
Tim u dirty old man ... No Tiesto ??||?? w0ts wrong with you??
To the fellas who didnt enjoy Tim's set ... welcome to TA
Guys let me ask you something since you have been into the music for a time and for sure know a thing or two.
When you go to a club do you really expect to hear the same 5 or 6 popular songs that are on repeat on your computer at home ? Do you find great deal of pleasure in listening to the same track 5 times a day, may it be in a club or anywhere else? If a dj didnt play a single track that you know of doesnt mean he didnt play good or his set was shit. I was not there last night so i wont comment much but i tell you one thing. I can still name atleast 5 tracks Tim did play Just because you fellas did not get to hear Traffic and Z103.5 hyped shit doesnt mean the Dj sucked. Whats popular to you and whats popular to me or Tim or Dennis or the rest of the people there are 2 different things.
I respect you for having your opinion about music and liking and disliking certain style but please be tactful as to how you word yourself. Majority of the Djs that play Purple Room work their balls off to get where they are. Dennis and Tim being 2 of them. By the way hows your Djing going ?
I missed it stupid work responsibility!

The 2nd dj was the worst i have ever heard.......which ruined my night. The reason he was so bad is because he played no dumonde,tiesto,armin or any other dj's when ivan asked him if he had tiesto he said no......how do u not have tiesto~!? He had no vocal music.....all beats thats it for 3 hours. |
I didn't bother PM'ing for guestlist. Big Mistake 
We went next door to the Dog and tried to get in just after 1 and the lineup for thuganomics was still rediculous!
Sounds like Dennis and Tim tore it up as usual. I'll be there on the 20th!

First time having to get down from behind the decks to break up a fight... First time seeing someone strip down to their bare ass while dancing on the speaker... |
Thanks for the laugh before work, lol.
dont you guys know??? good djs only play songs that have already been on played on ASOT. If it aint Armin approved, it ain't nothin!
I heard rumors of a Tiesto Marathon on the 27th......5 straight hours of tiesto

It seems like i missed all the drama by posting so late. Oh well....
I would have to say that was thee best night at PR ever. I was givin'er all night and my feet paid the price for it.
Dennis you were great i really enjoyed it but not as much as your solo night. And watching those two girls annoy the hell out of you was pricelss.....PRICELESS.
But Dennis I'm sorry but I have to give the night to Tim, because (don't listen to Yohan) that was has best set I've ever heard. I stayed on the dancefloor the whole time you were on, I was loving it. And to the new guys I only 2 maybe 3 of the tracks he played and yes one of them was S.O.S.
Here is something to reflect on:
To me the true meaning of a tranceaddict is not to judge or criticize but to enjoy and feel the music and the DJ. To feel the energy of the room, the people and feed off of it to fuel your body.
Someone that after everything is over and done with will be like.....WOW.....so when's the next party?
