Actually, probably more important than that, is to release an ungodly amount of big label mix CDs, thus ensuring that they will get ripped, mislabeled, and placed on file-sharers as something you made. If you're prolific enough and play all the top hits, your name pops up the most on p2p app which is generally where the balance of the trance community gets its music. Such name recognition slingshots your popularity. Such is the legacy of DJ Mystik. Such is the legacy of Oakenfold, who made such hits as Gamemaster, Binary Finary and Enervate. And El Nino.

Tiesto got where he is because he's good at what he does, and he produced a good deal of crowd pleasers.

Is he the best mixer on the planet? No, but he's damn good. There are better technical DJ's out there I am sure of it, but it doesn't matter.

All that matters is that Tiesto will be in L.A. on August the 20th and my friends and I are flying out to have the time of our lives. We love EDM, and we love the feeling we get from being on the front row of big events like this.

If his mixes aren't flawless, I won't get my boxers in a wad.

Therein lies the difference between us. Tiesto is good enough for you to dance to - that's great, because it makes it really easy for you to have a good time. Unfortunately for me, I have to listen to a DJ with strong technical skills and track selection to be able to enjoy myself. As a result, it is much harder for me "to get off my ass and dance".

I envy you, for I wish it was as easy for me to have a blast at a party.
