Experience

would you prefer enjoying a wicked song that you didn't know, or is it a better experience if you know the song?

With most songs, the more you listen to them the more you like them. But at the same time, I love it when I hear a new tune and something clicks inside me which just says "this is a wicked tune".

For instance I listened to the vinyl Human Evolution - Human evolution a couple of months back for the first time in Dance Arena. First time I heard it I went, hey this is pretty cool. Then I listened to it again the song began to grow on me. (vocal mix is way better than the original BTW)

A lot of songs grow on me. For instance, first time I heard DJ Tiesto - Urban train and DT8 - Destination, I didn't like them, but now I think they're both absolutely killer tunes.

yeah definately rather hear an awesome tune that i already know

works both ways for me
although it is a great feeling when you go hard to a song you absolutely know and love

Well im pretty sure i had never heard solar stone seven cities avb remix until armin played it on sat night in melb. And OMFG i will never forget it as long as i live. What an awesome track. So maybe either.

Well I love hearing a wicked tune when I'm out and I can say "damn, this dj rox" but ONLY if there's a chance of me getting the track name.....if I'm never gonna hear it again it's more depressing than cool

but if I know the song I go off! all my dancing is attune to the song....

I defineatly prefer knowing the track. But i wouldnt want a set of all tracks that i knew.

the ecstacy of enjoyment seems to lessen for me the more i hear it, but i spose thatz coz i have it on md, and so far my live set collections and single trax are very limited coz im still new, so i basicly listen to the same song quite a fews times per day... does this happen 2 u guyz as in: does the spine tingling sensation/experience seem to lessen the more u hear the same track? or does this only happen to the best of us ?

if i were to hear Dreamland or Aloa P, Live (esp. if it was @ the end of one of pvd's sets) i would just lay down and fall into a coma, in which i would continuously re-live the experience

Posted by Joshva on Oct-09-2002 08:20:

both.

When I was at Slinky at Gas I heard Gary White play Skywalker 2000 - Kai Tracid. And I knew that track and because I knew it. It was just awesome.

But

At the same time a couple of months ago I was at ARQ and Paul Goodyear dropped: Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Michael Woods Remix) which I hadn't heard before and oh my gosh that was amazing!

so both

I'd enjoy a tune more if i knew what it was and heard it played at a rave/club.

jace .. ur a master of the obvious

Well I think hearing a track I love is much more exciting! For example at GK, I'm jumping around having a great time thinking 'this is great stuff!'. But then we hear a tiny recognisible sound of Cafe del Mar and we go spastic!
So yeah, hearing tracks you don't know but like is good, but hearing tracks you do know and like is better

Def a song I know!

I remember once me and me mate heard Binary Finary - 1999 coming in and we went so mental! We literally pushed our way back to the front!

Hearing a track you know and love will always get you excited. But there have been plenty of times ive heard a track for the first time and thought "this is a fucken sick track" The only bad thing that happens is that you go nuts trying to find out what the track is called. I know plenty of you have said to a mate one time or another" Whats that song called? You know the one that goes like this" And then you pathetically try to hum or whistle the tune. And of course they never know what the fuck your on about. hahaha

I like the moment, when a DJ plays a very new but wicked song for the first time, that you have heard once or twice before, but still not very familiar with it. Then when the song really starts to kick, and you turn to your friend, smile and both manage to trainspot the song title at the same time (yelling it out together), a very satisfying feeling.

I definitely prefer a song I know and love! I find there's nothing better than going psycho to one of my favourite tunes.

I enjoy it a lot more when I hear a good track that I don't know. I guess it's because I don't know what to expect or what's going to happen next.
I find that when I hear a track I already know it's a bit like "Oh yea, I know this one, I wonder what track's next."
