Tiesto or Corsten?

I have heard recently that Ferry Corsten is more well liked in Europe than Tiesto. Can anyone verify this? In Canada I would have to say Tiesto is much bigger than Corsten.

Tiesto was always my favorite Dj, but over the past couple years or so that has changed.

I find he speed's up his tracks too much sometimes. An example would be Afterburn - Fratty boy off Magik 6. I think the track is playing way too fast. When i got my own copy of the vinyl I played it at regular speed and I was amazed by how much more I liked it.

I just listened to Corstens GlobalTranceMission cd and I really really liked it.

I prefer Corsten. Anyway, Ti�sto is also damned good! But I prefer Corsten, cause Corsten turns the pure trance, meanwhile Ti�sto sometimes turns a bit more commercial stuff sometimes. One of the best mixes I heard from Corsten is 'Live at Trance Energy' (29-04-2000). For those who have this mix: from 11:50 min, it's really heaven on earth...

I prefer Tiesto...he just has a certain sound and energy behind the songs he plays. I will admit that I am dissapointed with him playing all the same tracks lately, but then I figure DJ's shouldnt be putting a set together expecting them to be on the net the next day for everyone to listen to. He plays for the crowd...and knows what the crowd likes and wants to hear.

I havent listened to any of their live sets, but from hearing the music that they make themselves, I prefer Tiesto. Especially with Geoji, in Kamaya Painters.

Ferry WHO???

I'd have to say that the two DJ's have gone in completely different directions.....
Anyone who has heard any of Tiesto's most recent stuff can see that he is going progressive...
While Corsten on the other hand has been spinning for the commercial crowd. I am not a fan of the tracks that Corsten produces and remixes(too much synth), as opposed to those which Tiesto produces filled with nice rolling basslines and nice use of existing vocals, like Silence and Innocente.
About two and a half months ago, I heard an interview with Tiesto, where he was asked about the current relationship between him and Corsten, and he said that they had just grown apart in a sense, not to mention that he really needed to get out of Corsten's shadow.
So...In saying that, I would say that Corsten is a bigger in Europe, but over the next year or so, if the current trend continues, Tiesto's popularity will outshine Corsten's.
As far as your comment about Tiesto spinning to fast, well, I know that Energy 2000 was played at a quick pace, and it made it that much better.....I have never heard More and More, as well as Electra, sounds so good.

hmmm im definately gonna have to go with corsten here. i like his style better. system f kicks ass. but when corsten and tiesto combine...it makes it alll the better. speaking of which, does anyone know when the new gouryella tune will be released

I would definitely go for Corsten even though Tiesto is amazing. Tiesto sometimes goes too much commercial while Corsten always throws down an awesome 'real' trance set. I think Corsten's newest (Global Transmissions) is much better than Tiesto's (Magik 7).

thats a pretty difficult one.

i am a tiesto fan all the way, but ive gotta say the last couple of corsten sets have blown me away, very impressive. i'd like to hear him play a later set though, the last few ive seen have been early sets, maybe he would play something different later on.. i don't know?

anyways, i still think tiesto just wins, but only just!

I love them both...but since Tiesto seems to be leaving te Uplifting trance scene more and more i stick for corsten....Love his work.....

I wasn't really impressed by corsten at the sss... he only plyed a short set tho. Tiesto was fucking amazing!!!!! from what I've seen and heard I think Tiesto beats ferry ass anyday.

I would say Corsten sometimes goes overboard and lets the happy emotions "spill" too much. He needs to control himself and bring some variety into his sets and remixes, a little bit more magnificence, sadness, and power.

As for Tiesto, I like his "Summerbreeze" album, and that's why I'd choose Tiesto over Corsten. (I have to say, though, that Magik 6 bores the hell out of me -- all his uplifting shit starts sounding the same, it doesn't leave an impression, it sounds kinda nice and relaxing but not epic! So for all those that group "epic" and "uplifting" into the same category... there's a difference there, folks!)

I like Tiesto better than Corsten

it's quite hard ... but it has been said already

Corsten plays pure trance and Tiesto goes more progressive

I vote for Ferry

i think its the other way around... most of ferry's sets have been progressive with a hint of trance, tiesto on the other hand had no progressive sets, but epic/uplifiting...... soo ummm, ya, i like tiesto better

Corsten no doubt.

Well thats damn hard to chose cuz i love both their styles, so i'll say its a draw





Oh go on then Corsten

Tiesto!

grtz,
TNG

I can't rate a dj that well on just hearing live sets, I need to experience it! And I haven't seen Ferry cause he's bailed out on coming to Toronto like three times already! But I have seen Tiesto three times, n even though I like Ferry's productions, and his live sets, my vote goes to Tiesto, for the experiences I've had at his parties!

I'd always love Ferry Corsten, though I'd like Tiesto,but now I hate tracks like Flight 643 and the tiesto remix of Schiller's Das Glockespiel. I like Kamaya Painters - Far from Over and Tiesto's Sparkles. Sparkles is no doubt Tiesto's best. Though Ferry Corsten wins the battle coz of System F - Out of the Blue, Solstice, Cry and Ferry Corsten's remix of William Orbit's Barber's Adagio For Strings, and Marc Et Claude's I need Your Lovin, Electrique Boutique's Revelation, Starparty I'm in love and Matt Darey's Liberation (Fly Like An Angel).

TIESTO FO LIFE

GOURYELLA IS TIGHT!
CORSTEN IS TIGHT!
BUT.....

Tiesto is GOD

Rumours....

I have been told that all the Gouryella tracks are mostly Corsten. Anyone know for sure?

Corsten.

Tijs has benn playing the same songs since April 1st. this is bad.. VERY BAD. they are good, but bot for 3 months in row... nonnono

Greets,

Star

too bad PvD wasnt a choice eh starfox?

LOL, yeah PvD is always good no matter what i listen to always good.

Anyway my vote is for Corsten, i like Tiesto but Corsten seems to spin better sets in my opinion.

Hey fox just in case you didnt see DJ Mixes 2k is going to post some good PvD sets on their site. Better keep a lookout.

Re: Rumours....

Hard Choice....but after hearing the Rosemontags Set of Corsten this Spring.......He got my Vote.... the Perfect Melodic/Epic Set ever i think pure emotion .....made me sad,happy,etc all in one...FUCKIN AMAZING...Tiesto is a Goddly as well..but Ferry as the edge especially this year.....but i think 99 - 2000 tiesto ruled...

My opinion the Gouryella tracks are Way more Corsten the Tiesto... signature Uplifting track with the killer bassline...Gouryella is pretty much System F ..... Thats why Corsten Plays the tracks way more then Tiesto does........i rarely hear Tiesto play a gouryella track ..once or twice mayb....but Ferry All the time..cuz its mainly his production.... I dont think Tiesto is such a good producer as people say.... hes not terrible but when it comes the collaberations tiesto is in many but many dont sound like his stuff..... Gouryella = more corsten.....Alibi & Major League = way more Armin...... the one that has the most Tiesto feel to is probably Kamaya Painters with Benno De Goeij....
