It's his personal opinion... evidently those producers may make other people happy, but not him

Mine would be Markus Schulz by a country mile... never heard anything outstanding from him at all... all completely bland to me.

PvD (as a producer) also stands out... his DJing isn't anything special but I like some of the stuff he plays, bar his own tunes. MIKE as a producer (everything since Legacy). Above & Beyond too, although they're pretty good DJs.

Gabriel & Dresden - too much hype during the ATRC phase

Alice fucking deejay

its hard to hate a dj/producer...besides those ones that are way too horrible to mention... i mean id say tiesto, or maybe oakenfold, because alot of thier stuff is way over hyped...but a fair amount of it is really great to! I guess i dont really like one hit wonders, because its like...you had a great chance you were on the platform...what the hell did you do with it??

Originally posted by torontotrance Actually those names are real held opinions, no joke about it. People just think I'm ranting for the sake of it. I listed the deejays I disliked, you have to remember, when I got into trance, I was into PvD, Tiesto and Armin but they have lost the plot.

how do you feel about it? I mean do you feel disappointed, because at one point you loved them but doesn't upset you when you find out that it's not what you thought it was and they changed , I agree with a lot of things on your list but I don't know, I just try to hold on to it like a rare commodity

Yeah that was a weak stunt. Bell eventually got some compensation though... as far as I heard.

Most of the progressive trance dj's (Tiesto, PvD, Paul Oakenfold, etc...) just because they're music is so damn boring.

above & beyond (in productions, they eventually pick a couple good tracks when dj'ing) - too 'poppy'

gabriel & dresden - too 'poppy'

anything with vocals from justine suissa. just.... argh

the dozens of producers that follow the uplifting trance formula religiously

but all producers put a lot of work into their tracks, and i respect that

really?

I should ask bell myself if he got compensation, he is arrogant as well as Wink. As far as I know, he did not get compensation but I'll check.

I just think tastes evolve like deejays, I mean I loved James Lavelle's work for years but he has recently gone sour in my book, I mean he made the brilliant UNKLE album and then the brilliant GU023 (not in that order ) but GU026 was what I call the Look At Me UNKLE + Meat Katie album (I bought it for cheap yesterday) and I'm disappointed with it. The way I look at it, there are 100's of DJs and 100's of producers, brilliant at times, poor at times, that's music, you like some, you hate some. Just my dislike list seems to all the deejays that people love. Paul Oakenfold is not doing much now but no matter what he does, he still will be a legend in my book for 1997-2000. Same with PvD and Tiesto, who were responsible for getting me into trance music, even tho I cannot stand their style now, they did give me some great times, when I went to see them.
