Is there a big difference between trance dj's?

Is there any difference? Especially between ferry, armin and tiesto? From a musical point of view i can't hear much difference. Are their playlists not quite similar to each other?

Differences

They all play Trance but IMO they all play a slightly different style of Trance. While Ferry's is more refined, Tiesto's is sometimes a bit harder, and Armin is right in between them.

maybe if you werent so narrow minded and realised there wasnt only 3 djs in the whole world you would see there are many different djs playing "trance".

Uh - He is not stating there are only 3 DJs in the whole world nor is he disputing the fact that there are many different DJs playing trance - he just wants to know what is the main difference between them if (to him) the ones listed (Ferry,Armin,Tiesto) have similarities in the tracks they play.

Get off your high horse.

hmmmm...well...i can see a difference between ferry, armin, and tiesto...sometimes they will play similar tracks, but for the most part they play different stuff and go for a slight different feel...

Ah good to see some authority in this forum finally, greetz Swamper
I would say sure there is difference, you only need to listen to a typical set from each and you'll know it.

No.

Yeah, they r very similiar to each other. Yet they have different qualities that make them unique.

I think here comes that part in where it comes to who gets his hands first on the whitelabels/promo('s).

But if you look to own productions I think almost everybody on this board can ID if a tune is from T,A or F. Tiesto for his bassline, Ferry for the pinch of tech in his style and armin is the more melodic uplifting guy.

Cheers

50 Cent and Aaron Carter? That's got to be one of the worst analogies ever comparing Tiesto, Ferry and Armin.

For example: i went to misja helsloot and he was playing a great set, yet he doesn't get half the credit the big guys get. I would consinder him in the same league of armin of tiesto. Seriously, what's the difference? Mixing? Trackselection?

PR reps.

Seriously, though, there is a significant difference between the three. One plays uplifting melodic trance, another plays melodic uplifting trance, and the third plays progressively melodic uplifting melodic trance.

...core.

Posted by Psiweaver on Mar-17-2005 02:23:

main difference is in the style they play it in and how much marketing they have attached to themselves.

Posted by miamitranceman on Mar-17-2005 02:34:

I would say Ferry is the most different out of him, Tiesto and Armin. He's more electro-sounding lately.

Tiesto: tech-stuff or more harder things
Ferry: uplifting with some tech-electro influences...
Armin: melodic and uplifting trance, with progressive tunes made by Markus Schulz crew...

I will add Paul Van Dyk to list, you need to know him heheh: more energetic trance, tech-trance, tech-house influences, and a more banging set since he plays in a country where techno is the major stuff played, Germany...

I'm sure he has heard of Paul van Dyk; he just had the decency not to place him in the same shit category as Armin, Ferry and Tiesto.
