I hadn't thought of it that way.

He has access to so many unreleased tunes that you probably wont be able to get a hold of in the next year or that you may not even come across in your life. That and of course the vibe that draws me to see international DJs - yeah face it the vibe is always better when an international DJ is playing

meow thats what im talking bout

i like you

let's face it. the internationals are the guys the locals wannabe.

if dj's were like chocolate, then the internationals would be the best tasting cadbury and the locals would be that cheap heritidge shit you buy for easter for 2 dollars for the cousins you don't get along with.

no offence of course to my budz, i'm a peice of cheap chocolate just like you all .

i disagree.

why are internationals better? they have a name that pulls a crowd, and a crowd is what makes the atmosphere we all enjoy. they get sent the newest tunes, well before release. does that make them better?? could your *average* clubber tell the diff between an unheard armin mix and a begic? i dont reckon. once youre an international, its plain sailing, you can do whatever you like and its no longer about how good you are. i mean, listen to tiesto ffs. its like anything, just coz youre the biggest doesnt make you the best. its easy to be a big name an ride on the work the warm up DJs have done on a night.

i love the atmosphere that the big names bring, but purely on a track by track basis, in my experience i almost always prefer the amateurs.

agree totally.

I only pay the dollars for the atmosphere.

They don't mix any better than any local I've heard. (cept maybe JPL)

so mixing is the key then?

originally, they couldve been the best there is. or they were reasonably talented at a time where not every man and his dog wanted to be a DJ. timing is important. maybe its coz theyve written some shit hot tunes. but being a producer doesnt mean youre a good DJ. or visa versa obviously.

but once youve harnessed that popularity its very hard to lose. you wouldnt even need to write another song again. youd just play the best demos you got sent for your label etc.

im not bagging internationals at all. they all started somewhere. but being #1 doesnt, in and of itself, mean youre the shit (imo). i reckon the crowds make the nights as much as the DJs do. people enjoy it becoz theyre seeing ****tiesto****, not necessarily coz they loved the way he was mixing on 5 decks at once, or even really liking the tnues he was playing
