but Jeff and Carl play techno. There is a lot more to be manipulated/experiemented with when you play techno. The music is more linear, more easily layered, and it's easier to play one record for 2 or 3 minutes. In trance you can't do that.
I respect tiesto b/c he is the one trance DJ who (I think) really pushes the boundaries with his fans...he throws in techno, or progressive, knowing full well a lot of people won't like it.
I know when I hear tiesto at Aria next weekend, I'm going to hear some hard beats.

With respect to the topic of this thread, I would like to know what his feelings are about playing techno. Did he really offer to play at awakenings? (big rumor in the techno community)
