That species truly believes Tiesto is a god on earth. Try to check one of their videos alla "Tiesto best tracks", then you listen and realize there isn't even a single track by tiesto. All is Yahel, Push etc... And if you point out: "hey, these track are not tiesto's" everybody jump on you "heeeey, he is god of trance", "he is lord of trance", "he invented trance". Seriously how can you even debate with such "people"?

Either that or he realized that Armin had all control over the word "trance" and he couldn't be in that game anymore.

But it's true, half of the people think that tiesto made nearly all the old trance when he only played it on a show, happens a bit with armin too.

I see comments like "Armin van buuren is god" and the track is not by him... even if the title is Darude - Sandstorm (Original Mix) people feel that he made additions and that he was spinning the track live, there's still a lot of inculture about what's the dj job.

This benefits a lot tiesto,armin, guetta... because they have a large audience who doesn't need effor to be tricked, they are tricked by themselves...

here are some quotation by Tiesto:





"The biggest thing to happen for me this year is my change in style. I play more eclectic, much more house-driven, and like, indie pop music. The whole trance part is deleted from my set now. It is completely gone. It was a revolutionary thing for me."

"I just didn't like the old trancey sounds anymore," he continues. "It just all started to sound the same to me.

I quite agree with the chap.

If he enjoyed changing his style, then good on him! He seems to be doing ok with it anyway...

I wish more people followed their instincts rather than the scene.

I agree with all this. There must be some really stupid people if they think the DJ makes ALL the tracks he plays!

If that's the target audience then its no wonder they are number 1 in that stupid poll. Making cheesy pop tunes so people who are not really into dance music suddenly start going to their gigs but have no idea about DJs. Money making exercise.

This is something we just have to accept. It's like everything in life - it is not always fair.

Ignorance is bliss - as they say!
