Originally posted by Seandroid God this forum can be simultaneously amazing and incredibly annoying. People are allowed to like and play dubstep. BT didn't seem like he was being pretentious to me, it just seemed like he was rightfully annoyed at the people who go to a show and expect to hear the same music over and over again. You can't win, people on here complain if you make something resembling classic trance because it's dated, but if you do something that's currently popular like electro or dubstep then you just "don't understand" and people whine about how music haw "gone to shit." God help you if you happen to like a pop song! Liking anything on the radio is a great way to lose your oh so important "credibility" lol. If you want to listen Xpander for the rest of your life that's fine but maybe try to broaden your horizons? Idk..

I tend to agree with you here, while I can certainly understand a lot of critcism, these boards are full of pretentious know-it-all twats that rip on anyone that's had a taste of success, unless it's sasha/digweed. The constant negativity around here is pathetic really.

wtf is this guy talking about. So he plays at a trance party and is surprised when people wanna hear trance all night? this guy slow?

and wtf is he talking about 30-35yr olds only wanting to listen to trance? talking out his ass

Well like it or not the guy is the best looking edm producer ever.

Is there no value to the idea of coming to play for an event and presenting those who paid to attend with the best music no matter what the genre, rather than limiting oneself to a specific category?

Or would only idealistic dreamers even fail to notice that we have become a completely compartmentalized society, where just like at the fruit stand everything is exactly measured, calibrated and doled out in known increments, whether it's our entertainment or whatever else? And that therefore DJs have to deliver a reliable amount of specificity in what they provide, rather than getting all adventurous and experimental.

I get it. That anything-goes approach worked well when it was dinky hole-in-the-wall parties with 2-bit promoters paying you $20 for cab fare, but now that it's a big deal and lots of money, it's become strictly business.... deliver a reliable product that meets quality standards on schedule, get paid.

I think that this streamlined, utilitarian and landscaped approach to any genre of music is (oh never mind) ..... it's just like everything else really. Forget it, carry on... sorry I erred.
