Lanithium: A lot of DJs do that, drop a familiar track to break the ice so to speak... however thats something I wouldnt do... thats just me.

The bottom line, is you want a future in the dj industry internationally not just locally, you gotta think beyond the square you live in. As said in numerous posts, you gotta push boundaries, discover new tracks, and keep your sound totally different to whats already out there. Its about differentiating yourself from your competitors. This goes with anything you do. Everyone can have good equipment, every one can learn to beat match. But not everyone can pick out a decent record or be able to read a crowd. Although granted i love my anthems id have more respect for a dj who dropped a corker of a track that i never heard of



Also do you notice that although armin, tiesto, ferry and pvd are all trance djs there sets are nowhere near identical???? This is because they have created their own sound, from records they pick or get given or even create If all 4 were caning exactly the same shit, no one would give a shit about em.

To be different is good imo

That's me in the corner, That's me in the spotlight, I'm Losing my religion, Trying to keep up with you ,And I don't know if I can do it, Oh no, I've said too much,I haven't said enough, I thought that I heard you laughing, I thought that I heard you sing, I think I thought I saw you try.

But that was just a dream, That was just a dream, But that was just a dream, Try, cry, why try? That was just a dream ,Just a dream, just a dream, Dream

Combo of two id say as id like to get some new tracks from others experiences/reviews and old tracks or current played tracs might remind me to have a listen of any long time gold trakcs that are collecting dust in current time

What you obviously dont realise is that many people do not have the time or money to go and find the newest stuff and play it before anyone else. I have not been record shopping for about 2 months, because of fucking year 12. The last new track i bought was Infusion - Girls can be Cruel. So should I not play it anymore because it gets caned??
It's all about who you are playing for. Most of the crowds I play for have never heard what we consider 'anthems'. I just wanna know a few awsome trance tracks that no big name has played.

I think its great you think im insecure about my tastes . . thats brilliant

The only thing im insecure about is the downhill slide of this forum, and the way its tending to go in the direction of ITM forums. It's fine to be an elitest, but "just remember trance is the pop music of the dance genre." - (this was a great quote, you know who you are! )
