I could not disagree more. If the music is any good, it will have a longer life span than 6 months. Granted, some stuff that old has been over played but the push for such a large proportion of "new" music has led to the flood of disposable music you find on the likes of beatport.

I know that was just your opinion. This is just mine.

Not sure if you follow trance, but alot of songs listed were mega anthems on ferrys' cds, and played in everyones sets. Extremely popular anthems from way back. I think its why i said something and why GT said something. Kinda like a house set released now with david guettas the world in mine, deep dish's dreams, kaskades sorry, etc, all mixed together and dropped now. You catch my drift ? Anyways, i agree with what you were saying though man, just stating the purpose here. I enjoyed the mix regardless.

and yeah if i was a dj..there are a ton of tunes i would hammer from years back. Just not anthems. Maybe lustral - solace (quivver remix) or chicken lips - hes not in (vandalism mix), or paolo mojo's - 1983. All of those are old but so sick and would still do damage.

Any set that is made up of more than 50% of old (older than 6 months) tracks just shows (in my eyes) a DJs lack of knowledge about the music because he isn't out there looking for anything new. And a set with all vocals isn't a great idea, unless like u said someone has asked for it. It all depends on what kind of DJ you want to be though, but all vocals makes it seem like you only know the mainstream stuff. Venture out more and listen to new releases on beatport and audiojelly and you'll find some great music that isnt necessarily played on ASOT and it'll do wonders for your set.

The purpose of djing isn't to play new music, it's to play music that is new to the audience.

Oh, and good music.

Horrible post imo.

I understand your point entirely. I actually haven't even looked at the track list or listened to this mix. I just think that GTS3gEclipse's assessment of the senescence of tracks used in a mix was a bit overarching and/or misguided.

I'm glad and kinda flattered that Ferry Corsten has the same taste in music as I do. :-)

I was just stating my own personal opinion. DJing myself, I find it boring to mix the same tracks over and over again. My friends just recently went and saw Armin @ Roseland in NYC and said it was very similar to the set he played there for halloween. It's just my opinion and personal preference for newer stuff (with some oldy but goodies mixed in). It all depends on the audience, and i dont know what the exact purpose of this mix is so i'm not saying it's a bad thing to have a TL like this, just saying it's my preference. Just trying to clarify my statement cuz it seems like many people don't agree, but i wasn't saying the set HAD to be like that, just stating what I like. He asked for feedback, and i told him what I thought, if he listens to me or not is up to him.

this is the most unique, unforgettable music that you will ever vomit to.
