PVD on "trance"-new from Trance Energy

Posted by Chimney on Mar-16-2009 21:56:

Has a point about today's trance, but his previous albums wasn't too far away from his own description either. I'm saying this being a big PvD fan.

I wonder who or what he is refering to as really cheesy shit music.

Armin or tiesto?

Im watching pvd on good friday and he is supported by jon o'bir so they better play some of this 'electronic music' and not this really cheesy shit and ill see if he is right.

These trance jocks talking about trance being mucked up with commercial shite is simply HILARIOUS.

hes only marginally less cheesy than the other big guys these days. so if hes ok with saying his music isn't the "real trance" that he started out with then there's no disputing his argument.

he sure is full of shit. stop producing cheesy garbage and stop signing The Anthem.

I'd completely forgotten that. I like van Dyk the most out of the big trance jocks, but Armin and Tiesto have never gone so far as to sign Anthem. That thing is absolutely atrocious.

This is like hearing Richard Simmons say he's not gay.

Posted by Clovis on Mar-16-2009 23:33:

And the guy giving the interview sounds like he just jizzed his pants before sitting down.

Posted by enydo on Mar-16-2009 23:39:

He probably did.

Armin (kind of) said the same thing:

So I'm guessing that this boils down to what radio DJs are calling trance. I live in Los Angeles, and there's pretty much zero EDM on the radio so I wouldn't know since I tune into the classical station if I must listen to radio.

I somewhat agree with Paul van Dyk no longer being a trance DJ. That being, he no longer limits himself to only playing trance music. Sure, the guy built himself on trance music, and when he spins (or clicks buttons on a laptop) in front of a crowd, people want him to play his classic trance tracks, so he'll do it. So as vague and unnecessary the label is, just calling it "electronic music" suits just fine. I guess.

pvd never only played trance. as a dj he's always been relatively privy to 'party music' compared to other djs of his periods

I haven't heard many PVD interviews, so can someone who has say if he's always been this much of a hypocrite? And has he always tried to sound that sophisticated about genres?

I think he used to play load of lee cabrera and classic house in the late 90's, so I concur.

I was thinking about the same thing today, if I should see him in Central Park. I really have a soft spot for the guy, his was the first party I went to. Although I highly doubt I'll be satisfied with his mediocre sets and cheesy pop if I really go to DEMF.

FUCKIN AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!

Is that PVD using a VCM-600 in the video?

Posted by kr00t0n on Mar-17-2009 09:07:

The best I've seen him was Dance Valley 2005

The 5 times I've seen him since he has been progressively worse, The Anthem really messing things up.

I now don't bother to see him.
