For the DJ's, and those who want to know.

Talking to those DJ's out there, what are those damn tracks that you just can't stop throwing down. It seems to happen every once in a while big name DJ's too, (e.g. Rank 1 Airwave). Everyone has em', everyone wants to play them. I want to know what some of those tracks are that you heard when they were huge, and you still continue to add them to your setlists.
Mine,
DJ Tiesto - Flight 643
Yahel - Voyage
Faithless - We Come One
Marc et Claude - Lovin' You

I prefer playing new tunes, I'll only play old tunes if I'm desperate for set fillers

old anthems = exactly that, has beens

lovin you keeps getting remade so u can't exactly count that

Marco V - Indicator
Scot Project - Overdrive

couldnt agree more mate.. I buy about 10 tunes a week so there so need to play the old stuff... only when crowd really need it.

Sometimes to fresh is a bad thing... depends where you play and how educated the crowd is...

I like to end sets every now and then with Plastic Boy - Silver Bath

when i play prog i always end up playing

Remark - So Pure (Fingerfest mix)
Luzon - Manila Sunrise (Markus Schultz Mix)

I saw Armin last friday, he did an awesome set filled with the latest releases and then finished with veracocha - carte blanche. It was an excellent way to say good night

hmmmmmmmmm


There are not enough great records that come out week to week to put toghter really good sets of all new music. Even Armin Van Buuren can't do it for ASOT. I think anyone who says they play all new music and thats it is just playing alot of filler (shit) music. What wrong with the classics?

Originally posted by slifedogg awesome thread idea, its too bad it got ruined so fast. theres nothing wrong with dropping your favorite tracks in almost every set you play... thats personally what gives me a huge smile - when i drop that one ive been waiting for all night! as for the people on these boards that were so quick to reply.. 1. not everyone can afford to go out and buy 10-20 records a week. alot of us have other lives to carry on outside of being a DJ, i.e. school, family, job, etc. 2. that is the point of the endless cycle of buying new and new records, only to play them out for a month because then they are deemed "old"? the bottom line, in my opinion (and feel free to comment on it), it this... stay true to the tracks you love and to the style you love. If you drop that same old track from '98 every set you play, who cares. As long as you are having fun and show it, the crowd will also have a good time. Not everybody is playing out to a crowd of trance addicts that download the latest mp3s and know exactly what every dj is playing and not playing. And also, the whole scene isnt trance, theres alot more going on out there, so when you get caught in a lineup of jungle, drum and bass, disco house, etc. and you are the proggy trance guy, get out there and show them what the fuck trance is made of! not just the latest tracks so that in your head you feel like you are on top of the game..fuck that, stay true to whats going on inside your head. amen. bash away

i agree 100%!



i don't get what's the hurry to get new tunes and play only new tunes. IMO that's a bit stupid! it doesn't matter if the tune is from 1492 and played MANY MANY times as long as it is GOOD, i think that new tunes are essential and so are older tunes too!

If a track is good, is good also if it's very old, the age of a track and the quality of a track are two different things. The choose of the track to spin is based on own taste and not on the age of the tracks. A dj isn't a juke-box who play the latest track...

These are always the best sets.....lots of new stuff, then bam one song thats old, classic, and you dont hear all the time...
And to answer your question, these arent necessarily huge hits, but theyre old and i still like to play them

York - Reachers of Civilization (Rank1 Remix)
Body Shock - Full Moon (Original Mix)
Threesome - Mohave
The Quest - Solitude

it's nice to try all the new drinks out there. all the fruity, tasty mixes...tropical fruits with soda water and just a bit of alcohol. great mixture, innovative.
but bring in a good aged wine once in a while, heavy with the original taste of alcoholic drinks, and i'll suck it down.

and it's just the same with my music.



attention deficit - use only the drugs
young parisians - u write the rules (solar stone)

are constants in my list.

(agnelli & nelson - el ni~o goes in there once in a while)

i get the award for oldest tunes i bet...


Jack master flash(or something like that) - jack your body

Jam and spoon - odysee to ayona

???(cant remember artist for someone reason atm - the warning(song that g&d used samples from.

i can always listen to apollo 440 - stop the rock (gigolo instrumental) remind me always of the pvd loveparade video

So obviously not everyone here thinks that newest is best, and I agree too. I also think, as someone stated earlier, it depends on the crowd your appealing to, and as it was so elequently put, how well educated they are. I want the best, newest stuff out there just like any DJ. I just want to know how thrashed you'd get playing strickly older stuff, and for people like me that are only educated on what's new by what I see in the record store.

So, another question, can someone so picky with their music really consider themselves an addict?

This should've started another forum.
