I haven't heard of Livesets...is he any good?


Seriously though, I prefer hearin individual songs too. Its too much work trying to figure out which song is playing even with a playlist. I like queuing up my own track lists and playing them or listening to online radio. I'm not around any big cities so I dont get the opportunity to go to events where live is "it" so I wouldnt know what I'm missing.

please review my latest AMBIENT track HERE.

i'll listen to a liveset if it's

zabiela
sasha
masiello

sometimes digweed. listened to adam white @ gas yesterday in the car which was pretty cool

i prefer listening to dj mixes more though as they're more easily accessible and quality is better.

No, never. I like tracks in their entirety. I like the musician's idea presented to me how they intended it. If I'm not in the crowd, then a set has little interest to me.

i like to see tracklistings that go with compilations or livesets.. the people that irritate me the most are djs that dont tell you which track it was they played.

I mostly listen to livesets at work. Its nice just to put a set on a listen for a couple of hours and not have to set up a tracklist of shit to play.

Thats fair enough.. the majority of the times i listen to compilations is in the car on the way to school or while im falling asleep in teh bed.

Livesets are a key part of what makes trance an exceptional form of music. If one only listens to singles, they miss half the experience; dance music exists both at the production level, and the broader level of set flow. CD mixes can approximate a liveset, but since they're all studio-engineered, they miss the spontenaity of what's occuring in the live context.

Headliners typically have canned permutations to what they spin, which similarly defeats the broader purpose of dance music as a spontaneous, creative process at the set level. This is an important element to what makes a good DJ, and why the DJ has a place at all in dance music.

On production work alone, trance, or any dance music, is terribly uncomplicated. It's the "extended phenotype" of the set which really bears the exceptional traits of the genre. I think anyone who misses that is, well, missing a lot of what dance music offers, and a lot of what it stands for.
