Tiësto No. 1 - But why?
Prolog:
1. I used the search but found no thread, where this was discussed within the last 3 months (about 140 threads).
2. If you know an older thread with this topic, post the link here.
3. Discuss, don't fight.

Today I listened to a recording of "DJ Tiësto @ Disneyland Paris". There is a point, when Tiësto is announced by this black guy. "He is the number one DJ of the world." "Great pleasure to me, to let you welcome..."
Later, this guy says: "Let the DJ know how you feel." This was the point I thought: "What the F? This sounds like 'Let the king feel the people's subjection'."
This DJ is just a DJ! He plays records just as everyone else can buy in every good record shop. He produces music like a lot of further producers. Man! What makes Tiësto so special?! Yes, his sets are really mindblowing. But I know at least one DJ who does it as well, if not even better. And I'm not speaking of the big ones. Tiësto even has no special skills on the turntables. Just mixing good tracks after another.
DJ Tiësto. This cow has been milked enough.
DVD: In Concert Vol. 1, OK.
DVD: In Concert Vol. 2, why?
Olympia, where is the connection to trance?
Paris, same as Olympia.
etc.
DJ Tiësto is not the No. 1 DJ. He is the No. 1 publicity platform. (my opinion)
This Tiësto hype is only the result of a great and massive marketing strategy. And I'm a little pi**ed off because they are using our trance music.
Perhaps you'll say, trance music is nearly dead in some countries. So, why don't support the "Tiësto Mission" to get it a little alive in the commercial public?
Well, we had this a few years ago. Too many cheap productions in the radio and on TV. Do you still want trance to be the mainstream?
Big lightshows and massive advertising are no reasons to be the No. 1.
