It's you. Not a fan and i love trance.

honestly, i was a big fan, but i think his playlist has become too big, the standard has become too low, because he likes to support all artists who have created a half decent tune somewhere in their life. He should just listen to each track and decide whether its good enough or not, but now all he does is look at who produced it.

He needs to tighten his selection... I liked Armin in 2002 or so, but i guess that has also a lot to do with the enourmous amount of quality productions that period. Its not easy these days to make a proper selection of quality tracks.

Blablabla, honestly i dont care. I only listen to my own selection of singles anyways. Just browse through a state of trance to scout new quality singles, but ive catched myself in finding less and less tracks to add to my playlist. Could be me though.

First I'd have to care.

I'm apparently seeing him in a few weeks. I'm not expecting much. At least this time I can drink away my boredom

Last couple times I saw him he played a lot of "banger" tracks, which I love! Problem was, he packs the house every time and even if you wanna dance your ass off, you can't. I've come to the conclusion that the only way I am going to enjoy his live sets anymore are going to be at outside venues where I have space to move around.

As far as the track selection goes, he has seemed to start playing a lot more techier, harder tracks. I miss some of the blissful tunes he would drop in his sets that would stop you from dancing for a moment because you were just simply amazed at the beauty of the track. He waited to drop those the last time I saw him, at the very end of the set and I was already too tired to care much.

I just can't wait to see him again. Always has and always will be one of my favs.

he's aite. he had a distinct play in the rise of trance music back in the day, but the stuff he has been spinning/producing/promoting has been the same shit that got him to the top of radio broadcasts. First 50 ASOTs were like WOW, cool! now it's like "WOW, when haven't i heard THAT before?????"

IDK, I feel the same way, AVB should def be no. 1, PVD's live sets seem like the same thing just in a different order...Armin keeps you wanting more on ASOT and Live...

its just you. he's gotten progressively worse since about 03 and he definitely is overrated, he only rates so highly now because of his superstar dj status.

productions wise its even more sour

IF your were talking about tiesto, i would agree. Even tho tiesto is the insparation that got me djing, hes new productions are juss not to the standards of his other productions. his remixes are not as good ither, they dont have the fluency as the other ISOSs. but armin i think is doing great witht his djing and producing.

AVB found DJ Tiesto's career stages blueprint and is following it to a T.

his style has not changed one bit since blue fear, its just gotten cheesier and shitter. at least tiesto has evolved as an artist (even though atm its shit) but avb has just done the same thing over and over and over again but worse and worse. love you more was the peak of this imo

i just dont c how anybody could rate him as a decent producer anymore. his last decent production imo was burned with desire and it was still fucking cheesy. and as a dj i agree with nautilus he does just seem like a watered down version of tiesto just with his own radio show

he's been worse every time i've seen him, and that's coming from someone who typically likes the styles of music he's known for playing. his tracklists are predictable & uninteresting, his mixing is really flat & he never takes any risks.. add to that most of the tunes he plays really lack in energy. he's the number 1 'safe' dj

last time i saw him the only tune i could bring myself to dance to was galen behr vs hydroid - carabella (behr & nilson remix)
