#1 DJ? This is Pathetic.

I know there are several threads that discuss / disintegrate into bashing of our "World's #1 Voted DJ", Tijs Verwest. As I listen to the broadcast of Gatecrasher @ NEC, I feel the need to make another.

This mixing is some of the worst I have ever heard. Apparently beatmatching, cueing, and general skill of any sort are not required at large festivals. I mean, you're raking in 30k Euros for a gig, why try?

Another thing - when you can't even mix into / out of your own track, maybe you should stop and think - those 13 vodka / red bulls actually didn't improve my performance!

I'll end my rant now, as we've come to commercial...




...Thank God.

Seems only appropriate the #2 DJ has been playing the same tracks since July.

Lets not let #2 DJ PvD off guard either. He trainwrecked during his set as well.

i don't have anything to explain because i haven't heard the set. but even if the set is horrible, that won't change the fact that I esteem Tijs to be the most talented artist in the edm world for reasons that I could write forever about. nevertheless, the guy is human and has many bad nights. i'll tune in now if it's still going on.

the mixing in that cd is beautiful and much better for my ears than the mix compilations put out by Armin and Ferry this year. you people are too conservative and don't understand his radical mixing style of melodic/harmonic contrasts. there is not a single trainwreck in that cd, and the flow is perfect for my taste. to top it off, the mixing sounds human, just like in the Magik series and every single Tijs compilation. stuff like this is what makes Tiesto stand out as the brilliant artist he is and makes his competition look stale and bland.

Because that was one of the worst sets I have ever heard.

And OMG I'm not even going to begin to that post about how good Nyana is.

I also must be conservative and not understand how it makes sense to mix from progressive house to hard trance, to techno to uplifting in a set.

It's not a radical mixing style, it's a pile of used baby diapers.
