this thread has discussed commercial.. but what about this.. the PVD motorola commercial aired last night on MTV during spiderman (spiderman by the way has the entire soundtrack mixed by digweed, and the theme song for it is bedrock)

how do you guys feel about that?

i think its great and we need it bad cos the way its looking, the EDM scene is in trouble. we need new people to embrace this culture.

there's nothing wrong with spreading it to the masses. its when u compromise your tastes for the gain of money that makes it bad.

nobody was born into this world as a person who loves trance or any other form of edm. all of us were exposed to it for the first time at one point or another.

think about it. we all heard about this somehow, we need as many people to experience it like we have. i hope i see more of it happening.....

No one will even know its PvD... Yeah I am not thrilled with it, but whatever, PvD still brings quality... I mean shit he could have turned into Oakenfold, but he hasn't... As for Digweed... he is a God... he can do no wrong... No but seriously, soundtracks are cool, going commercial to an extent is ok as long as you keep your musical integrity... PvD has done so IMO. and so has Diggers...

well i think they showed the spot during spiderman cause i feel like it has a crossmarketing appeal.. i agree, no one will even recognize him, but i think its a ballzy move on cingulars part, and you can bet that hes gonna play the shit out of connective here.

has anyone else seen "the rules of attraction," and if so, did you catch the quick mention of oakenfold in victor's superfast monologue of europe?

if you're wondering why in sam hell i brought this up, i'm drawing a weak connection to edm making its way into pop culture.

seriously folks: can you really imagine PvD with some bikini-clad blond bimbos to his sides haucking miller lite with his german accent??


PvD oozes class...and he knows exactly what he's doing...the scene needs help, so what better way can he help the scene but to bring the music to the masses...

what i particularly dont agree with is running the commercial non-stop on MTV of all places...the collective IQ of that age group isnt the highest...i love to see it marketed towards the older 20's/early 30's age group....but whatever...

yes i saw it, and was very happy to see it too. i didn't think they were going to play his commercial in the US. i hope it gets played more, though. i completely agree with what victor said.

btw spiderman fucking rox, one of my favorite shows right now.

"i dont want to be zeee god"

SELL-OUT !!


Just like Tiesto, Oakenfold, and Digweed....

whats next with these guys?...a collaboration with DJ Skribble


And "Dinaire Force 1" said in this thread that the EDM scene is in trouble.....how?....the EDM scene is more mainstream then ever before...DJs are becoming corporate pop-stars...or shall i say puppets...they are no better then Britney Spears..

And yadda yadda yadda about them making the BIG money now with these endorsements....as what cost?...the cost of the scene?...i have said it before and i will say it again...THE MASSESS WILL EMBRACE THEN RUIN THE SCENE AFTER THE FAD IS OVER...they always do.

So thank you Britney, oops i mean PVD...and thank you Christina...oops i mean Tiesto...and a HUGE thank you to Avril...dam i mean Oakie....you guys are REALLY doing a swell job...
