[on their studio secrets] "SO, for those of you who have been asking (some more persistently than others...), here is how we do all the "weird stuff". There's no magical software that will do it for you - that is for pussies. The only way to do it is the slow, old-fashioned way: by hand."

- Telefon Tel Aviv


eric prydz has a quote from an interview somewhere along the lines of "...you can write a horrible track, but as long as it sounds good on a big sound system, people will play it..." any of you swedish house mafia guys care to find it?

Armin van Buuren on illegal downloading

"If you download, you are destroy the scene, It is simple as that"

Not a great quote, but I really think that hes saying that to protect his label.

Armin on making money,

"I haven't made any money from Armada so far, because all the money goes back to production"

I call that bullshit, where are the company assets?

Tiesto on illegal downloading in 2000

"Question: What do you think when people download your songs illegaly. Is it bad because you loose royaltymoney.

Well, I'm not in there for the money. I'm really glad, actually honored, that people download my music. That's a compliment I think."

Originally posted by idoru In my opinion, Moby said it best when I was talking to him during a book signing a few years back. "I don't really think I'd feel good about DJ'ing in front of 20,000 people. Most of the records wouldn't be mine, and they're cheering for me when really, they shouldn't be cheering for me at all. I didn't make the record, why should they love me?"

"The reason I dont play ballads? Because I love to play them." - Miles Davis

"its not about ego's, its about the music"

Armin Van Buuren - "Don't be a prisoner of your own style."

I'm surprised noone has mentioned this one yet:

quote:

Trance had become a dirty word. Thanks to Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Flip 'N' Fill and DJ Sammy, a generation of kids has grown up thinking trance is the shittiest music since country and western. - Paul van Dyk
