Originally posted by peterdjsgirl I am new to TA and have just been browsing around. There is such a wide variety of musical tastes that run through here... even within the trance genre. Having been around "the club scene" for a long time. I have seen it grow and widen and become this great international culture. I find it interesting that, as it has grown and branched off, the love of dance music that bonded us together, now divides us. Please don't get me wrong... everyone has their own tastes and expressing them is part of defining our indivduality. I have just noticed that at times, people and or artist are really railed into. Makes me just a little sad. Yes, I am a fan of PVD, and have been listening to him for years, so I personally like what he is doing. But whether it is him or someone else.. every artist needs to grow and change..to express themselves. An artist , no matter what the medium, changes over time, their brains are always evolving and exploring, searching for that place of expression. A painters style may change or color palette may differ over time, but their work still holds part of them and what they are experiencing. The same holds true for music. I am not sure how many people on here know what it takes to do this thing called dance music, but it is much like composing a classical piece. There is so much involved and so much thought put into composing and arranging all the instraments, beats, grooves, etc., just that cetain way that conveys what you want to say. I know this a very long post, thanks for letting me express what I have been feeling as I read through the forums. Oh, and as far as Crush is concernd.. besides the fact that I like it... collaborations are fun and bring a whole different set of challenges. It isn't that an artist is lazy or not creative when they collaborate or share their music.. it is just a fun and different creative process.... Thanks guys.. look forward to more interesting posts.

YES, but he isnt collaborating!!!!

He is not working with the original artists from the begining, he is simply waiting for someone to produce a good tune which he then remixes, YES REMIXES, and releases under his name feat. xxx and puts it on his artist album aswell, when he isnt even really writing the material.
