All these years I've worked in the music business, the one thing I've noticed about artists who claim they're done with a certain style, always seem to go back to their roots. At one point or another. Unfortunately, the stuff he and others are remixing today, is what is happening for the time being. But just like every style of music, eventually it wears out.

I LOL'd at Tiesto when I heard him play the bloody beatroots (spell check???, they aren't worth looking up). I gave up the little I had for him..... Not knocking his skills and what he's accomplished or anything like that, just loling at going house. I'm sure he and Oakencock will take the same career path. Vegas residency playing blah blah blah to all the fucking sheep and "high rollers" who want to party in Vegas. I truly think he wants to go "house" to appeal to the masses. I mean the only way he will be number 1 again is if he does something new and appeals to a different more massive crowd? I don't know just my two cents. Plus the average Vegas "all star" party person doesn't like trance.
House is so blah (some exceptions). I guess it's because how much people mix in electro (worst fucking THING to ever be invented). I respect good house dj's and can listen to some.... but once the blender noises start going off I want to run into a brick wall.
Yeah schulz does shitty music videos, but his sets and productions go on for days.
And shit if Tiesto says trance sucks, it must be true! Coming from the guy who's most popular song is a remake of a classical music song Again nothing wrong there, it worked for him... Just saying

Agree. That's happening with me right now. As many of you know, I used to be really deep into the EDM scene, but then all of the sudden I stopped an got into the latin scene. Right now I'm at a point where I'm tired of the latin scene and want to get back into the EDM scene. I can honestly say that I truly miss it. Specially after seeing Carl Cox at Monster Massive. Wow, that made me wanna get into it even more.

Ahhh Vegas! I have a lot of DJ friends whose goal is to make it to Vegas. Honestly, I really don't like that crowd. I think Vegas if full of posers and bottle service type of crowd. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the local scene rocks, but in the big clubs they are full of tourist who only go to the clubs to pretend to be someone they're not. That's not my thing. My goal is to make it to Ibiza and to become the Erick Morillo of Mexico. Yeap, I wanna be Mexico's biggest DJ.

Make it in Vegas! uggggh, well I guess it depends on the situation and how much freedom you have on your set lists. Ibiza... Count me in. Small villa/my decks and I'm set! I'm sure you'll be somewhere one day. Goodluck!

Oh ok tiesto... so why is it you drop a big hit or two of yours still in sets (least i think he still does)? I mean if you are over it and fans are over it, forget suburbain train, flight, etc. that you play and which the crowd is louder than any other track during those. Go with playing all swedish house mafia now - cause people like SHM. If you will cut the past, dont play anything from it then. You lie to the older fans. I learned this mistake but others have not. Gone since 05 is tiesto of trance

yea cause that tiesto trance sound was not mainstream at all. God forbid the guy gets tired of the same old trance and wants to experiment with some new sounds. Isnt that what djs are supposed to do? Thats the problem with trance, it hasnt evolved much in years!
