Tough call. You guys all know im an Armin fan. But after seeing him absolutely "KILL IT" @ Turnmills in London back in May, his 2 recent performances here were VERY disappointing.
TBH Armin plays CANDY ASS sets here in the states because thats what draws the crowds. Most of the people that show up @ the events are there to hear the popular tracks and see the BIG NAME.
We TA's are much more critical of our favorite DJ's because 1) We see them everytime they come and 2) We have been fans for years back before they were number #1,2 or 3 in the world and 3) Dance music is a huge part of our lives, so we can tell the difference between a DJ thats working hard to keep the crowd going or one just going through the motions!
So my vote goes to Ferry!
Until Armin gives me a reason to change it!
Sorry Kris dont hate me! Haha |
When he played here in SF a few weeks ago, he didn't play Candy Ass at all. That's what I was expecting, but we got none of it thankfully. Actually, he rarely seems to bring anything but his A game to San Francisco. I dunno why, he just plays so well here. I attribute it to the amazing opening DJs we have here which he just feeds off of. Compared to the other cities I have clubbed in, SF has the most talented openers overall, IMO. It really does help with both the vibe and getting the headliner in gear. He brought his A game that night. He was definitely working hard carefully choosing which tracks he was playing (taking his time looking through his CDs) and it showed. Was amazing. Wish I wasn't so tired that night, though. Went in on one hour of sleep.
