His sets have been quality wot are you guys moaning about, the tracks he is playing rite now are great tunes that are full of energy- you only notice he is playing the same tracks cause loads of his sets are being broadcast recently.

Two of those nites in September at Planet Love and last month were the best two nites of my life, the atmosphere was unbelievable and the energy throughout was amazing.

Can't win - if a DJ plays crap he gets slatted, if he plays well he gets slatted too cause he plays similar tracklistings

Last time I checked, DJs don't normally play the same tracks 1/2 year later.

What is a DJ there to do, entertain the crowd.

And it would seem that the crowd is rather enjoying his sets recently, I sure as hell did when I was goin buck mad to the tunes he was spinning.

yeah ive been very annoyed by the excess repetetive quality that has been there in his sets the last couple of months. but its true, he is taking these sets to different places for different audiences for a certain promotion, we aren't meant to hear all of them!

but, its just unusually repetetive. normally he has his favorite tracks you're gauranteed to hear but there is enough variation to make each a unique experience. im looking forward to the 6 hour set in new york...

as for boston, if he comes back here and plays the same set he played in the end of august, that will be a real reason to complain
but he has close to two weeks, maybe, just maybe, he will surprise us. i hope he realizes that he was here recently enough for people to have heard the same shit already live.

I'd like to say that the direction this thread needs to go in is not necessarily, "Why is PVD playing the same stuff over and over again," but rather, "Why are you listening to the same DJ over and over again?"

I think it's perfectly fine for a DJ such as PVD to play a consistent set. He is marketing an album and promoting sales, and I hope as a result, getting more people who might otherwise be hooked on Top 40 now hooked on the sounds and sights of the dance music scene.

But it's my opinion that veterans need to take their love for the music a level or two deeper and begin to explore the hundreds and thousands of talented DJs and Producers out there who aren't in the top 10, and who probably haven't made the Top 100 popularity polls, who are nonetheless gifted, talented, and who will blow your fucking mind with their music.

Everyone is griping about the scene dying and they aren't getting support for gigs and record sales on one hand, and on the other, folks are griping that there is the same old same old with same old DJs. I suggest that if everyone takes their support to where there is new music, innovation, and a fresh perspective, you will start to see that there is a lot more than the same 20 tracks over and over and over again.

You might hear something that inspires you, and you'll prolly save a lot of money, too. Pay attention to what's going on underground in your own back yards.

I love PVD and Tiesto and the likes. They have given me some real eye-opening moments. But fans need to keep pushing and holding artists accountable by supporting a competitive marketplace that supports new creativity.

I would not class the stuff he is playing recently as shit, I would be complaining if he was playing a repitive set which was crap but it is playing top quality stuff at the moment

cheeky But come of it people, all DJ's are guilty of having the same setlist for a while. Only we are noticing it a hell of a lot more with PvD atm, coz his sets are getting broadcasted 24/7, and too make things worse for him people are taking in minidiscs and recording his sets with microphones. Granted there are always going to be a few tracks that he has to keep playing like crush, nby, tool, connected etc. that everyone is getting a bit sick of, but you have to remember that he is on a Reflections tour to promote his album. Therefore he has to play these tracks over and over because how stupid would it be if he didn't after the night has been advertised as part of his reflections tour. But like every DJ, he sticks to a similar playlist for a while with some variation, puts in a few classics, and then soon enough he'll be moving onto a different playlist. If you all didnt download every single PvD set going then you wouldn't be fussed at all with tracks that keep getting repeated. If you go see him at your local club, and then go and see him again when he returns a couple of months later, if he is still playing the same tracks as before, then you have the right to moan. But until that happens, stfu I guess these are some of the reasons why PvD hates the internet.

Originally posted by vmc He definately needs to play new stuff!! There are a lot of trance tunes around that would fit his style. Ok PvD, it's about time to stop playing that tunes over and over, mmmkay

To be fair PvD has quite a few tunes that other DJs don't play, I think its fair that he keeps playing tunes like Dreaming, because noone else plays it, and stuff like 88 To Piano, because noone else has it. Its not like you see PvD live every night is it!

aight we'll see next week when he returns to the northeast
