no.

I hate that Dustin track and I never considered it to be fresh

I was just thinking the same thing. I saw him finish at creamfields this summmer and he was the best although the crowd were tired. He played a style I hadn't really heard before. It was pumping and hypnotic, at times like pre 1998 trance. he can play deep but also uplifting and he seems to have a fresh sound. I have just downloaded his global gathering 2012 set and it is deadly. can't stop listening to it.
I went to see Van Dyk in London the other week and was disappointed. He has been my number one for 15 years but his evolution album is too commercial and his sets are too. I hoped I would never say that. He used to be harder and deeper. now he plays too much male vocal tracks or vocal in general. vocal is good but not too much.

What's everyone's take on his rework/theft of Cass & Slide - Perception?

Not bad, but shit I'd be angry if I were Cass and Slide!

They didn't even like the fact a vocal was added to the track way back when.

Cass & Slide are credited on the release so I doubt it's a bootleg.

That shit sounds like crap.

The vocal in this version is pretty dire tbh, but overall the track is okay, some nice ideas.

The vocal was utterly pointless in the first place. Track was perfectly fine as was, but someone (not Cass & Slide) decided it needed vocals, so they literally plunked some singing on top of the original track.

Who earth decided perception needed vocals?

Posted by Thirsty on Oct-22-2012 23:51:

I could give a rats ass if his music is crap as long as I hear he's a humble person.

Agreed. I always thought Perception was a supremely overrated track, but on 3tyrants it's reworked into the real deal.

I don't really follow up on Marcus Schulz anymore but I used to listen to GDJB here and there when it was on and I checked him out at Club Mezzanine in 05. He was playing some good dreamy prog that night. Here's my favorite remix from the guy. Be cool if he made stuff like this once more.

Markus's marathon (6+ hour) sets are absolutely fantastic. The guy knows what he's doing as a DJ. He continues to support deeper tracks in his long sets (and signs them to Coldharbour), despite the fact that he says it normally ends up a losing battle with the crowd and he has to move back into anthems to regain their attention.

His recent artist album is cheese (some of it enjoyable cheese, imo), but his Dakota album was darker. He has to make "Beatport Top 10" type tracks in order to keep selling out shows so that he can support deeper tracks on his label.

At least Markus plays those deeper tunes in his long sets. Armin also loves the deeper, darker side of trance, but the only time we ever get to hear that from him is his "Warm-Up Sets".

When was the last time armin did a warm up set?
