uh...well i've come to realize that pretty much any funky type of music is my thing. house or electro or even straight up funk(which i've to get into yet). so that's my answer. it's the funk. but i can live without it. and you can live without whatever you listen to as well.

as for dj's, mostly ones who spin interesting and/or different sets are my favorites. the good ones, basically. why would i like a dj who is in essense a clone of 99% of all other dj's, like the ones you listed?

actually, you barely explained jackshit. But that's a whole 'nuther realm of incomprehension.

Back on topic, for me it's much more the tracks played usually than the guy who played them. Like Soldout vs. Nova - Maybe Tomorrow brings me back to that time I saw Armin a few weeks back and it fucking rocked. Each time I hear that track I just go insane because it was such a great show. Armin himself though, well, sometimes he spins complete shit and that just doesn't "bring me back" to that experience.

Unless the dj has unique crowd interaction, or did something that blew me away, like when I got to meet and talk with Ferry Corsten, I generally would say the individual tracks are more meaningful. That's just me though.

No, what you said in the last sentence had absolutely nothing to do with anything and it made your post just lame.

And Demoted:
Spot on mate, that's what i'm talking about

good job on the enlightening and thoughtful post there einstein. i explained why i like the music i like, and why i like the dj's i like. but i guess the thread maker was going for more of a broader general rhetorical philosophical bullshit post, then.


i guess the larger, broader answer, if all his questions were rhetorical, would be that humans have a complex series of chemical reactions that allow us to have things called memory and emotions, which are in turn stimulated by sensory input, like from hearing(music) and sight(art or pictures or whatever is pleasing to the eye). with our advanced homosapien brains we have the power to imagine ourselves in most situations, whether we get it right in our own head or not. most of the time one would either overimagine or underimagine. like the pictures. you might imagine that it would be a kickass time if you were there. but in reality you might not have such a kickass time in no small part due to a number of other factors that could have happened that day, just before going to this place, or while you were at the place, or whatever. that's imagination for you, very rarely close to reality.

just out of curiosity, you mentioned that the five djs bas originally stated were cookie cutter copies of themselves. Care to explain how Sasha and Pete Tong are in any way similar in their sound to Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, and Markus Schulz?

sure it did, it was why i don't like the dj's i don't like. because i don't like dj's that essentially do the same thing as 99% of all other dj's. kaypasa?
