Thanks for the review.

It looks like I will be in Dubai in October. How do I find out about good shows/DJs playing there? Any good websites?

The best thing about Dubai parties is the publicity. They advertise every 30 mins on the radio stations so keep tuned.

Also subscribe to timeoutdubai.com and you will be well informed.

OCt is Ramadan time so very very very few parties since UAE is a Muslim country.

Usually they have a huge event before Ramadan. LAst yr Oakie was in town while this year it was Sander + Tiesto

Originally posted by clinthammer So what happened? Tiesto came on to his usual big intro and started spinning. He spun a few famous tunes like Just Be, Lethal Industry, the La Noche from his ISOS 4 cd and Like a Waterfall. I'm positive he did not spin Love Comes Again, Flight 643, Traffic which really pissed me off. He needs to be promoting Trance here and his music - but thats my opinion. CD

Yeah Tiesto tried to show off with his mixing "techniques" which didn't impress me at all. I wasnt really hyped up to see him but was looking more forward to see Sander live. And yeah he did a great job pumping up the gig for Tiesto. In fact he did a much better job than Tiesto.

Originally posted by clinthammer So overall it was an OK show for me. I guess I expected something much more since Im a huge fan. Other regular trance folks here like it alot. Its true Tiesto really gets the crowd going even though his sets may not be that spectacular. PVD was better in March this year but I'm going to wait and try to make it to Tiesto show abroad soon. Cuz I hrd they play the best sets in Europe CD

Dude never expect much from Tiesto these days. Yeah he sure does have some good tracks but he doesn't spin well as he used to be. ISOS4 sux imo. ISOS3 was a MUCH better album really. To me, the party really sucked. People in Dubai think that Tiesto is some kind of God or w/e since they haven't really heard any other DJs' work. Correct? I'm pretty sure that's the reason. People here just get too hyped up about anything they think is the best in the states or europe. Trust me hardly anyone in the gig knew about Tiesto's history and how long he's been in the EDM industry. Ignorance man.....that's all I can say about the people in Dubai. I dont blame them tho .. Ferry Corsten's gig was much better than PvD's and Tiesto's imo. One good reason that it rocked is cuz I could hear what tracks Ferry was playing. The speakers and bass-control was much better. At Tiesto and PvD's all I heard was VWOOM VWOOM VWOOM VWOOM and for some f*kn reason people were enjoying it. Funny eh?

Very true... in the UAE everyone wants to be like someone and do what everyone is doing. If one person says they are going for Tiesto, all their friends follow even if they dont know who Tiesto is.

We fans have been following his music and history for a while so the show was a big disappointment to us.

Atleast I could hear the music at Tiesto. PVD was better from a distance - up front it was pure butality for my ears because I think they had the bass dial turned up max!!!!

I got ditched for Ferry so unfortunately couldn't make it.. Same for PEte Tong last yr who i hrd was outstanding...

I hope they bring in AVB soon - his state of trance sets have been gettin better and better.

Guys....sorry but let's be clear here tiesto won't mix in Dubai as the EDM scene is a failure....from my experience people go to show off & party with high heels,,,,and as u all know a DJ is nothing without a crowd + keping in minds that Tiesto is commercial "wanna make money DJ" that's doesn't care if the crowd is satisfied or not.


anyway i am seeing tiesto on oct1st in beirut & i bet it will rock as in Lebanon the energy & the crowd are a F*&*Kin A.
