You mean buzzing synth?

No. The general instruments and sounds but with modern productoin techniques its obvious. What im getting at is everyone jumps on people saying "that aint got anything to do with electro". electro wasnt all breakbeat. electro wasnt all breakdancing and lino floor mats.

Sure, and house and techno have some similar sounds. Does that make them the same?

But thats not the point. Its called Electro house as it has some influence from Electro. So it becomes a bit silly when every time someone says "Electro House" they get the "Its not Electro though". Well no one said it was. It has influences from Electro and thats that.

He is playing the same as he's played for 3 years - only finding BETTER records than usual.

As he described himself in DJMag a while ago "uplifting progressive tech-trance".

Whatever he plays in any genre, he has to consider it uplifting. He doesn't like the filler tracks We sometimes receive tracks back that we request played... with the answer "not uplifting enough.."

But you will always see, with Tijs, some smatterings of what is currently popular, what is currently doing the rounds... so in these sets that are given as examples so far... as Gizzy said, they ARE trance... they just feature a few tracks in the current 'HOT' style...ie. housier electro-styled tracks in a swedish mafia style.

It is why he was playing Supermode, it's why he is playing Float Away and Cicada.

He has always continued to play a small amount of vocal prog tracks and the odd weird techy banger (Praiseworthy, Mass Noise) style.

Why do people always think he is reinventing himself or changing styles.. this is what he's always played

Electro fans are snobby though, because their genre has a pretty illustrious history. They don't want to admit it's been watered down and made into the latest big thing, so they cut it off from "true" electro.
