why is Tiesto and Armin...

why is tiesto's old school stuff titled as "magikal" ?

is it actually magikal?
from my own listens, I just hear a "darker" form of euphoric anthems. it's still euphoric, but has a darker melody/mood to it

and second question, why is Armin called fluffy?

do all Trance artists have a certain name that describes their style?

What's Ferry's, Art of Trance, Paul Van Dyk's style of trance labeled as?

(I recall reading a while back that Paul Van Dyk criticized Tiesto's style as being "happy house" or something)

He released a series of CDs called magik muzik, it doesn't sound anything like oldschool stuff though

Here we go again, you're constantly bombarding us with questions that you could have answered yourself if you have the slightest bit of imagination.

Ti�sto likes his language play. The artist name itself is supposed to be an "Italian" twist on his real name: Tijs.
Similarly, Magik is a Dutch take on the word magic, as words don't end on c's here unless they're borrowed. It was also a sub label for his own productions back when he used to own Black Hole, not sure if he still uses it.

The rest really doesn't need explaining. Armin's music style is labelled as fluffy because it describes it well. Just like Childish describes your posting style well. It doesn't go any deeper then that from what i can tell.

Perhaps he was a magician and that is why everyone liked him; that or ecstasy. During his jesus pose he sprinkled pixie dust.

Yes, it is. It generates unicorns and lasers and puts you to a higher state of consciousness (ie. trance) which helps you taste the double rainbow and chocolate rain.

Before he was famous and got a stylist for himself he used to be really hairy and had an eighties hair metal hair. That's where the nickname comes from.

True stories.
