The problem with that statement is this: 1) Tiesto 2)Armin Van Buuren 3)Paul Van Dyk Now here is your local dj for ya: 1)Local Amateur DJ My point is that each of those dj's in the first list have made and continue to make contributions to trance while the supposed and better amateur dj is praised for his/her ability to beatmatch versus the amount of work the big name djs have put in. Now had those big name dj's done nothing for the trance scene then I would agree that they are overblown. But I think the hype and overratedness is justified by their work done over the years.

no as stated earlier in this thread: they are bashed because they once were good, contributed alot etc but now rely on the lazy side.
laziness turns you into a total idiot.

Producers should get more recognition than DJs.

It should not be: "TIESTO IN CONCERT!!!!!"

It should be: "MR PECULIAR & TRISTAN!!! mixed by some guy called tiesto"

I suspect that a lot of people underestimate a good dj's ability to tie together disparate elements into a unique vibe that feeds into the partyers and loops back to the dj, determining the direction in which the set progresses. And that's just the 'juke box' dj's - when you consider the level of input from freaks like Zabiela who effectively remix tracks on the fly, it's a whole other world.
