Originally posted by infinity HiGH this is probably the first, and last time, i'm agreeing with you Skipper. These events don't get me jealous at all. I prefer the events that we get here; at least the DJ's play long enough for us to get into their set.

that maybe true but 15000 ppl in an arena should b unreal ... not 2 mention the gatecrasher setup which from the pics look unbeleivable ... i can wait.. bought my ticket already

Just based on a roster of actors (perhaps over the top talent, overpaid maybe?) In actuality, these events are different. Agreed you won't get an 8 hour set out of Tiesto (because apparently we do anyways??) but rather dj's being EXTREMELY creative not to mention competitive in a party atmosphere which really can't be compared to anything else. The energy is 10 fold.

Totally agree with you there!! I've only been to one big festival like this and it has been my favourite party ever !

I can't believe you messaged me on MSN to get me to pay attention to this post.

When I go to parties, I don't go for the "energy." Because that energy is chemically induced, for the most part. Let's not kid ourselves here!

I go for the DJ and the music. And at an event like that, each individual DJs sets are obviously going to be sub-par to what they could (hopefully!) do if they had 3 or 4 hours. (Did I say anything about 8 hr Tiesto sets?)

Perhaps I just don't know enough trance or progressive, but with techno a good set is not made from an hour of just beatmatching records...it is made up of 3+ hours of sound layering, effects, complex builds that happen over time, not over a 7 minute b-side track.

All I'm saying is that these events are catered to people who go primarily for the party atmosphere and not so much the music. Any DJ will tell you that they can show you a lot more of their talent in 4 hours than they can in one. Now stop extrapolating and putting words in my mouth.

PS. I have never been to WEMF.

Thank Jon. You just proved my point.

Trance and progressive is simple enough such that a DJ can showcase their stuff in an hour set, and they don't need to build anything into a quality set b/c the records do it themselves.

DISSSSSSSSSS

bring it on people...I'm not afraid

Anybody got an extra cheap plane ticket, extra ticket to the party and room for 1 extra to tag-a-long at a reasonable price?

You are right It takes a virtuoso to create a good set from 50 piece of crap techno records

Hey lets not start a flame war....but i agree i would go to one of these for sure. Plus some Trance DJs start to trainwreck when they spin for more then 3 hours so a solid 1 hour set might be awesome....just from what i saw myself....i could be wrong....

Maybe its just me but i beleive that a bad vibe can screw up ur nite even if the music is good... but in most cases a kik ass atmosphere can more than make up for bad music ... fair enough maybe most of the energy is chemically induced but hey at the end of the day a good times a good time however so that maybe

To each their own. I find that I enjoy a party with good music, even if it has a bad vibe, much more than I enjoy a party with a good vibe and music I don't enjoy. If the music is great then I dissolve myself in it, not paying much attention to my surroundings.

Any rich tota feel like taking me on a road...ugg i mean air trip??
