i cant stand the new productions of trance. 2012 was a bad year for "trance". usually markus plays his style of dark and dirty trance though...specially if he has 13hrs

Originally posted by fantasyexctasy What happened to Markus? That was a total letdown. Way too much cheese and garbage, ended up leaving at 3am. Definitely have lost faith in producers these days. These new trance songs nowadays aren't even anywhere near where they were when I first joined the scene

i think you left too early.

i'm not there (yet) but it's only 3/4 AM

I agree the beginning of his set was different. Played some cheese but then stuff we've never heard.

It's 525 am still going strong. Big crowd left.

And wow! Dropping a lot of techno bombs that's I've never heard. Very afterhours vibe.

You should have sticker around getting really good.

Markus = animal.

I left at about 5:30, crowd sucked. NYE people aren't like the normal crowd. It felt like just a bunch of people trying to fuck their date on the dance floor, and I was getting death stares by every dude along with it. Lots of normal top40 grind with your girl type of club people me thinks.

from 5-9 wow those of u who left missed out

If I have to wait 6 hours just to hear a decent song, you know it's going bad. How can you call yourself the unicorn slayer and drop that cheese for 4 hours? I've seen Markus probably 40 times, byfar the worst was last night

We're going to be seeing this more and more. EDM is top 40 now.

how late did he play? just curious...

we left around 9:30. so he prolly ended around 10

i think you guys are being too critical, he played for 12 hrs on NYE, it's not a crime that he played some vocals and mainstream stuff around 12-2, it's expected, not everybody there is a diehard markus fan and he read the crowd very well.

his music after 2 ish 3, wow!!!! unbelievable for a top trance dj to have selections like that in his arsenal.

I wouldn't say anyone is being "too critical." THese people paid money - If someone doesn't like how a DJ plays, they should say they didn't like how the DJ played. A person shouldn't expect to wait several hours to hear stuff they like. Especially if the first part of the set is just off-base and completely different from what they expected (and not in a good way) going by the DJ's past.

Maybe Markus played too long of a set for his own good? (How long did he play, BTW?)

It does happen...

Anyhow, this post goes for any DJ and is not particular to Markus last night...

Markus could do the same thing again and play a very different set, who knows. What can be said, though, is that peeps seem to be a bit critical of last night overall, especially for the first part of the set.

Wish I could've made it, but the responses here, FB, and other places have made me feel a little better. One night won't change my impression of him, though, especially since I wasn't there myself.
