For many people, that cheesy crap is the hook into the EDM world. Many of us started out as trance lovers and our musical tastes progressed from there. When I first got into EDM it was Tiesto and PVD that hooked me. It opened the door to the rest of the scene. And while my preferences now heavily favor many flavors of house, I have to give credit to the "cheese electronic music" for getting me into EDM in the first place.
So from a business standpoint I think Tiesto is doing the EDM world a favor and opening some eyes, as much as many of you may cringe at that thought. |
amen. Well put.
I don't swoon over Tiesto, nor have I ever seen him live, but I do respect the fact that he's got good business sense. He MUST in order to be where he is today. And I will probably always give his music a try to see if I like it. So far, so good.
Ask any random teenager at the club who Tiesto is and they'll say the dood who makes techno music. Ask them who Ferry Corsten is and they'll look at you like you're crazy.
