Tiesto is one event away from being dead to me.
You're dead to me boy, more dead than your dead mother...

This is with out a doubt one of the worst sets i’ve heard this year. This pseudo techno shit that tiesto is playing is horrible. If I wanted to listen to techno, i'd go listen to a techno dj who had some skill.
It’s not just been this one set either, I haven’t heard a really good tiesto set through out the entire year. You can say he going through a transitional period or make a number of other excuses, but he has been confused about what to play for a while in my opinion. You cant go from some popular progressive tracks, to some popular trance tracks, to some half assed techno stuff in the space of an hour.
I think i’m more than capable to judge this based on the live sets and cds i’ve heard from him this year. His recent cd he mixed for being the worlds number one dj, was crap. It suffered from what I mentioned above, imo, and the mixing was really average. Nyana was crap. Poorly mixed, average track selection. I was really disappointed with it and i'm sure many other people were as well.
Gone are the magikal days where you could download a tiesto set and expect absolute quality. Thankfully he stopped at magik 7, besmirching that series with the tripe he plays now would have been awful. No other cd i've heard rivals magik 6, it could be tiesto, it could be trance being made today, it could be, and probably is, a bit of both. But the tiesto we all knew and once loved is gone.
Tiesto's productions appear to heading the way of his sets. Blackhole is releasing a lot of music in that style now, and Tiesto - Traffic shows the way, which he is heading. I don’t think suburban train, flight 643, and magik journey calibur songs will ever be released by tiesto again.
If tiesto plays a sub standard set on new years day, then ill saunter off into the house room probably, and ill take the respect I once had for tiesto with me. Which is truly sad. Fortunately there are other guys, which will carry on my love for trance, armin for the most part. Tiesto should take a few notes out of his book. In my opinion armin should have number 1 this year. Especially when 1 and 2 were tiesto and van dyk.
Anyone else think the same way?
