Just came back for the warehouse project man, being an armin fanboy I was disappointed by him :/ most of the mixing he did just gave me a headache and bad choice of songs had a few decent but 75% of his set was full of crap ;/ I guess the fact that for the past year my classic trance taste developed a lot, I am bound to like armin less. Thinking about his previous gigs, shit men they weren’t that good, just average. Number one for you

On the other hand Markus wow didn’t know that guy was a really good dj really did amazing kept the crowd going for all of his set - my back fking hurts like hell. I was surprised because as a producer he does not stand out a lot.

Sadly Markus kept me for 2 hours of partying so did not manage to see PVD.

They have a nice sound in there don't they?

Was he main room or room 2?

last time i saw armin he played a lot a lot of classics, i arrived a bit late because i was on 2nd room with stefano noferini and apparently the beginning of his set had loads of vocal crap but then:

Cosmic Gate - Fire wire
Ram -Ramsterdam(jvd remix)
Personal Jesus (Prydz remix/Tyas rework)
Burned with desire (rising star mix)
Sail
This world is watching me
Cygnus X - Superstring

and many more , with loads of tech trance.

Last time i saw markus was 4 years ago and he was more commercial that the armin i saw recently, i think he has moved a lot to less fluffy music and more banging stuff, he only played the JOC mix of Concrete Angel and a mashup of In & Out of Love with JOC - Raw Deal the rest was quite sober.

I prefer markus over armin but his album was a huge disappointment. it was utter garbage.

I think the problem is markus wants to be armin thats why he keeps churning out those crappy commercial tunes. I wish he'd just be himself maybe then he'd produce better tracks.

He was in room 2 which was a lot smaller. Room one was a bigger open space. I think room 2 had a better sounding system

Yeah, I quite enjoyed the banging stuff only knew a few of those songs but he really mixed them well, i was non stop dancing. Armin played Concrete Angel too, i prefer Sanctuary over it any day.

I had never seen him live before and thought he played like Armin, just suprised me how good he was. I will probably start listening more of him, i use to listen to Future Cities and some other ones but never really got too much into him. Also got to shake his hand at the end

Wow, TA is actually talking about Trance again, and not in a disparaging way? *Mind Blown*

If you liked him for (what I assumed was a 2 hour set) you should see him when he does a 7 hour solo set. Markus unlike Armin doesn't play the same songs, over, and over, and over...

Sure, he'll play some of the more well known stuff but by hour 2 and beyond you are going deep into the rabbit hole.

You shook his hand, he's a great guy. Here in Miami he usually meets up with his fans and chats it up a bit. Remember talking to him for about 30 min when they were shooting the Sleepwalkers music video at Space. It was awesome and you can tell he loves his fans.

well markus is very down to earth i talked with him for a few minutes, it was 8am and the guy was still pleased to have a chat with us.

I really don't like that little Funktion One they have in Room 2.

I mean it's punchy, but I don't like it.

Room One I have no idea what they are flying, but it is fucking nuts.

Well for Armin at least when he mixed the songs, it sounded the same hence the headache. It was like you get the song then you get something mixed that sounds quite irritating and you cant even dance to it then you get the the rest of the song. Idk just the mixing was irritating and very similar thoughout. Anyone else felt that way?
