Id also like to add that Tiesto is #1 because the fans LOVE him. the fans as a whole choose who is #1, not your own opinions, and 90% of the people I know who like trance both enjoy and respect Tiesto.

Maybe I just live in the states though so.....

I would rather nible on my dogs balls than play the music he does, besides, doesnt take a genious to discover his mixing is poor, but as your probably stuck up his arse you wont realise, or atleast wont agree.

Enjoy anyways.

Check the guys tracklist's, they are almost exactly the same as 6 month ago. Atleast Armin and others play differant tunes every week.

well mister great critic those sets are just 2 month apart and similarities in both 2 hour sets are only 2 tracks and both r tisto productions..so theroy about 6 month sets similar is obviousley wrong..and yeah i have my head up tiesto's ass cause it is cool to defend tiesto hell i never seen him live or have any of his sets or even a single production i just do it so i can feel special man..sighs..you are entitled to your own people my man but dont keep on barking out shit without having them well thought out..tiesto may not be the best mixer in the world but he has donr a fairly decent job lately and workin hard on everything but what do i know i am just up tiesto's ass to be like the other cool kids

I would like to predict that Tiesto is going to be # 1 again this year. Mark my words.

lol, seriously tho, tiesto is great and i think he'll always be spinning for the music

as for venus...eh.....its ok, but southern sun kicks ass!!!

___________________
it was the greatest feeling of nothingness i have ever experienced...

He used to own...but in the last 9 months.....he forgot how to mix...how to pick decent records....forgot how to pick decent tunes to remix....and his ego has grown very big. Sorry..playing 30 mins of prog...does not classify you as a prog dj....neither does playing 2 breakbeat songs...classify you as a breakbeat playing dj. Sorry

Here's one of the reasons why :

DJ Tiesto vs Kosheen - Hide you on Flight 643

Well...erm...that's a creative answer.

Originally posted by tranceaholic wow..what am i not surprised as soon as i read the thread title and that it includes tiesto and #1 in it i would have bet anything that so much people will bitch and moan about tiesto and not even with any good criticism..some of u need to get off the tiesto is shit wagon..it is not cool anymore kids...tiesto has been great lately..with productions and sets..few examples..roc project-never(DJ tiesto mix),Junkie xl-breezer(tiesto mix),his mix of tears from the moon,venus and die another day are also awesome...his sets like global dj broadcast has been very good with solid mixing..so give him credit will ya..name me one dj with great mixes in such a short time...and the tunes that were mentioned above they were one of the best of thier years..i remember this time last year when people were jumpin off there panties tryin to id southern sun when he played in his dutch dimension set..some of u people are such hypocrates it is amazing..oh well..

Excuse me captain fantastic but is nobody else allowed to have an opinion on dj tiesto.

In my view the only reason tiesto is number one is because he plays tunes people want to hear, not because he has a huge amount of technical ability behind the decks.

If trance, house, techno, progressive etc. were on a level playing field I can assure you tiesto would not be number one. The fact of the matter is tiesto plays a kind of music with the largest audience, so of course he will have the most votes.

Bah, Armin or Ferry haven't done anything lately that could topple Tiesto. Tiesto is the visionary, the other two are merely followers.
Roc Project-Never
Conjure One-Tears from the moon
Junkie XL-Breezer
Madonna-Die Another Day
Cor Fijneman-Venus

All of these mixes are fairly recent and all of them own. All of them are unique and original, unlike say Armin's remixes and productions last year.

Also, Tiesto doesn't play just what people wanna hear. That's what Johan Gielen and other djs i won't mention do.

About his beatmatching, surely it wasn't perfect last year as it never has been. He just got more exposure with livesets last year and people have been spoiled. There's no denying the man has skills. Come on, pop up any of the Magiks or ISOS or a set like Impulz 2002 or Innercity 99, Tiesto's transitions have always been very creative and tastefully done. His track placement works better than anyone else's and even if beatmatching is not technically perfect, that's not what djing is all about. It's also about creating contrasts, making the music flow, creating an uplifting-Tiesto has never been random, he's a very good musician and artist.

Anyhow, I saw him spin last week and it was an absolutely magikal night. No Lethal Industry, no Flight 643, no Southern Sun-none of the Tiesto cliches. He did a nice nice blend of his new tech funk melodic raw uplifting style which was just mindblowing. The two sets we have in mp3 from 2003 are fairly decent as well.

Tiesto said in his last interview that he just stopped remixing and will start producing new tracks now
