The crowd reacts to it in a positive way.

Mindcircus is a classic not one of the most overplayed tunes of 2005

whatever you say hahaha

eh im just saying he missed the boat on alot of tracks. He can play whatever he wants. I do give him alot of credit for trying something out of the trance/progressive realm but he's just behind. It's more of a fact that's he's been behind rather an opinion (when you see when the track was released and who else was playing it a long time ago). People who follow dance music alot in general either are of the mindset that it's kinda lame to play something that was so played out last year by MANY djs or you're kind of satisfied with hearing the same music over and over again/really dont have a desire to hear something fresh and new/dont really know whats going on with the rest of the dj world other than a few select trance djs. I like to hear good NEW music vs. old music. This is why I dont really care as much for Sasha now and think his Avalon LA cd is so weak.

Anyway Im glad you guys had fun

well...dc has a great scene, fur just isn't really one of the best. especially not like a huge trancetastic night like that one. WAY too f-ing packed, i have NEVER, EVER seen it that bad. thank god i had a lottt of room to dance 3 feet from armin in the booth! HAHA yeah i'm a brat.

"He plays what he wants to play" what the fuck are you a mind reader okay yeah sure whatever that mean't , you sure act like some big shot but who been into the dance scene for less than a year. I think whats trying to be proven here is that him playing Mind Circus was just to make sure the DC crowd doesn't lose it and leave or get bored. His set consisted of many tracks that were big last year but overplayed. He has enough track his ASOT show to throw down which he didn't and Armin plays whats hot which is nothing new and intersting. I think he knows the DC crowd are not up to date but then he saw Doombot and thought I play what I want to play. Hes even play some toon that house DJ's been playing

His 6 hour set could have been more intersting

He's been in the dance scene for a year hugh? Where are you getting your information from... oh wait... are you a mind reader???

I sure hope your not making your assumption based on his registration to TA... because that means nothing.

Well firstly I'd like to say, your user name fits you well. And as Safrin said, if you are basing your claims on my TA registration, well you are wrong. And played Mind Circus to make sure people dont lose it and leave? Well, that is just damn funny. That was the largest crowd in that club I have ever seen and there were still tons at the end. You blind?

and maybe armin shouldn't just listen to what is handed to him or the promo's that he receives and spend a little more time looking at smaller known labels and other genres to find some interesting tracks. if you look at ASOT it's the same labels over and over with a few exceptions. maybe he should really live up to his quote of "don't be a prisoner of your own style" and start looking for tracks on non-trance labels. the only reason why he's spinning domino is b/c he heard one of the minimal dj's play it at nature one - blah. goes to show that he's not really in tune to what's going on outside of trance music.

I'm the one w/ the aviators on the right... and I don't recall pushing anybody at that show.
And, if you pissed me off enough for me to push you, I would remember it.

You catch the beginning of his set?

Originally posted by DOOMBOT You catch the beginning of his set?

no - didn't go to this show - but i'm sure he played the same electro-housey influenced tracks that spun while i was in ibiza - what he should do is instead of playing those familiar electro-housey tracks is find some newer, more interesting electro-housey tracks that haven't been hammered by other dj's

i would have been more impressed with him if he would have played do what u do when it was new and fresh - that would have shown he really knows what's going on in the music world. instead it takes him about 2 years to fit it into his sets.

I guess I don't understand this obsession with everything having to be 'new'... sure, a few new tracks are always fun to hear. But, when you d'l every live set out there, and buy every new track that comes out, it kinda limits what seems 'new'.
I was talking w/ a friend about seeing Ferry C. next month, and I was saying how cool it would be to hear Punk... maybe I'm just different

doesn't he spin punk at almost every gig? i was under the impression that ferry tends to go into this segment at every gig where he spins like 3 or 4 tracks of his in a row. but i dunno - haven't seen ferry in about 5 years - just what i've read on TA and other forums.

I'm in the same boat as you and the funny thing is, I dj (at home) and am constantly on the lookout for new tracks in my bag. But yeah, if I go see Ferry I expect to hear tracks like Punk and Rock Your Body Rock. Probably wouldn't be the same if he doesn't play them. But hey, can't please everybody.

Agreed...

It's a waste of time talking about him anyway. More Farina, Hawtin, Burridge, Howells, John Tejada please

I actually didnt meet any TA's. If I would have know I would have got a ViP booth up top as well. It would have been well worth, as long as I avoid what occured.

No.

Hehe. I see alot of people have their negative comments about the show, but you'll surely be there for armin the next time he shows up. Don't lie. You know you will ;-)

I mean the guy is a "Trance & Progressive" DJ. I guess it would be ok to be behind on the Electro/House tracks because of the fact he doesn't normally play those genres. I dunno. Me personally, I try to stay up to date on the genres im a fan of.

GUBostonDubs, you're not a fan of Sasha anymore?

Originally posted by BiG MiKE GUBostonDubs, you're not a fan of Sasha anymore?

Not as much. I still listen to alot of his old cds, sets, and have alot of great memories of club nights with him behind the decks but he's been downright lame for months and months now. He's been doing it for so many years so I think he's just a bit over the hill. Don't get me wrong he's still good just not mindblowing and cutting edge like he used to be. There's too many other djs that are putting out fresher sets and more exciting music now. I'll still give Sasha a chance if he comes around to boston or nyc and for the record I believe he's probably the greatest edm dj in history. All good things come to an end though. Digweed on the other hand is still top notch. I don't really care for anything Armin, Tiesto, or PVD are playing these days and sometimes I wonder how I ever liked some of the stuff i used to hahaha. I mean just a few years ago would eat it up but now after more clubbing experiences and discovering new djs/producers/better music I just have outgrown the trancetasticness as alot of people on this very board have. Long Live House Music + Techno.

It really wasnt an energetic show as I thought it would be. He did play alot of elctro/house tracks, but the question is who doesnt? Like I said in my review this was such a different Armin show that I have ever seen. For the first couple of tunes there was an elevator set going on. In Miami after he came in with Proper Education he started doing it really hard TRANCE, TRANCE. But in DC it was lagging for such a looonng time in the begining it made me mad. This was also a first that he really kept telling the crowd to get hype under many occasion. This never happened in Miami or in the Guv, he was always smiling and really impacted on how the crowd was giving him soooo much support. You can see it in his reactions. Im not saying in DC he didnt get support. But from what im seen in the past it was dead for several of times in the first 2-3 hours of tunes played. I have pics in where no one is not doing anything versus people going insane non stop after each tune. I think it was the crowd, but more the venue. Its not really a Trance venue. It needs to provide better sound and much more darker area. Most good club have better lighting people. Glow has sick lights but it was too well lit up for a Trance event. It wasnt a rock or house event we went out to see. And the sound played a big role in what I thought of Glow. Coming from Miami a huge party scene I know whats a good sounding system is like. It was great visiting DC but disappoint how a big show didnt impact me.

agreed, there is no comparison b/w the armin I saw at Labour and the armin that played in dc only a week later. Enjoyed seeing him both times, but armin ripped off a 3hr set at LoL that far surpasses what took place at glow.

Hi, I never post on here but one of my interns brought this post to my attention. I hate to break the news to you but I have to defend D.C. and Glow on this. For the record, Glow in D.C. has been the home for many trance DJs for years. Armin and Ferry were doing a bi monthly residency for two years before they had a gig in Miami. They have probably played in D.C. over 20 times each! D.C. is not some little hick town that never gets talent. BUZZ was one of the first EDM club nights in the nation! Glow was the first US gig for the likes of Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren and many more. If your definition of "Trance Venue" is a club that charges $50+ for admission and when you get there makes you wait in line for 3 hours forcing you to buy a $1000 table to get in...then we are not that. D.C. has a nice little scene thank you very much

I'm glad you posted because I'd like my opportunity to express my disappointment in your sound system, too. I visited last fall for Armin's gig in October and left with one of the worst sets of ringing ears I've ever had. I go out in New York at least weekly on average, having been to Crobar, Pacha, Spirit, Avalon, Love, Cielo, B.E.D., Sullivan Room, Roxy, Roseland, Element, and more, and it's never that bad. The vibration at the back, near the stage opposite the booth, was unbearable and I can't imagine how the people that stayed back there could take it all night.

Other than that, we had a good time, though. If you could just improve on improving the sound (or try to explain how you have since then, if you indeed, have), we'd be happy to come by the next time we're in DC.

P.S. - Go BT and Deep Dish (well, Deep Dish a few years ago)
