You raise a good point. He does go overboard every once in a while. I'd be quite embarrassed if my dad was publicly strutting his ass around in his pjs, while mangled on a cocktail of drugs. That's not an ideal father image, but then again we shouldn't judge. It's not really our business. He might be a good father.. who knows? He has been responsible in other aspects of his life, such as running Cocoon successfully.

Also, he's led a much different lifestyle than your average father. He's dedicated his whole life to electronic music; trance at first then techno. He's definitely a key player in edm.

Where did you hear 20s? I'm pretty sure he said "she's 13 years old, becoming 14"

its to bad that he dosen't really play techno anymore- seems like hes playing house more than anything lately, at least from what ive heard from him

If you think what he's playing is outdated you're essentially saying that Cocoon is an outdated label, which would probably one of the silliest claims that you could make about music possible.

Maybe certain tracks that he drops that are very quintessential Sven type tracks makes you think that what he's playing is outdated, but just listen to Sounds of the 11th season for example. What he's playing, and what he's always played is at the forefront of dance music (not just techno) in general.

Have you ever even been to a Sven party? It's not something that you can really adequately describe, you just have to be there. He's arguably the best DJ there is at reading the crowd and transitioning between genres in his sets. It's perplexing that someone can have such an insane depth of knowledge of music across multiple genres and put together sets like he does. It completely blows me away.

If he is having fun, and the crowd is having fun, what is the issue?

It is supposed to a party right? Not, lets get serious and play music like a robot gathering.

sven doesnt give a damn. hes totally out there. I like it cos it doesnt seem orchestrated like those manufactured acts like above & beyond etc..

I'd say the more fun had in the booth by the DJ, the better the party. As long as you can still deliver musically speaking, go NUTS!! However the minute your effort behind the decks starts to suffer because of your antics, then you are probably pushing it too far.

So what if he has a daughter....who are we to judge how he brought her up...or what sort of example he set if we don't know her personally and cannot attest for how she turned out.

Sven rocks...nuff said
