it's not the first time the Olympics has employed use of experimental sounds and visuals.. i think that's the whole point of the openning/closing ceremonies - to provide a spectacle of art and wonder

[sarcasm] oh my god....

what a sell out. I mean, you can't get any more commercial than playing the olympics, seriously where's richie gonna play next? Euro-Disney Land?
[/sarcasm]

Sorry, I'm just cut-and-pasting Tiesto comments and replacing the name from the last thread where a DJ played an event like this.

But seriously, is someone willing to take a stab at why the comments are so different this time around?

[Oh my god, I'm actually defending tiesto here? What the fuck is wrong with the world?]

It's actually a good thing.....its a positive way of showing the world our music

If they don't like it they don't like it but at least they were exposed!

LOL

i think he know has EU citizenship after living in Germany for so long so prolly not lol ..

Most of the time I forget everything richie has done...it's incredible when you think about it.

On that note, most DJs are doing work now that is outside the normal realm of DJing and producing music for clubs. I was surprised to learn Misstress Barbara has produced music for video games and she did a track that is being used at the Cannes Film Festival, I believe. Lots of artists collaborate on non-dancefloor oriented projects, we just don't hear about them.

Yep. Even for me, I kept thinking about what made him really stand out and the not so stand out things that are still good I don't think about.
My English also sucks, eh

Esp last 5 yrs or so, EDM has been a big influence in a lot of video games. For example, Sasha doing Wipeout 3 soundtrack. (Which IMO is best EDM videogame soundtrack collection ever) EA's FIFA series from 98 till today. SSX series until the last one where they went all rock which IMO is a shame. Grand Turismo also has decent EDM tracks.

I think it all began with Moby being so popular and a lot of people realize that electronic sound doesn't suck... esp in small doses.

Surprised they didn't pick Mauro Picotto, since his hometown IS Turin, Italy. Then again, he's really sucked lately.


Nat, dear - you are not the only one. I am a super gigantic detroit techno fan, and I totally get bored by Hawtin. Except I do like his Minus Orange (video version) track.
