love how Armin at ASOT600 Sao Paulo had one of his guys out in the crowd and he picks these two people to interview.. and asks.. so what do you want me to play.. and they said after they scoured the internet play Markus Schulz the Expedition.. Then Armin said.. I'm no Jukebox lolol!!

I've been to Vegas a few times. In general I find that whole velvet rope VIP bottle service culture kind of clashes with my sensibilities and sort of spits in the face of this purposefully inclusive dance music culture we've built together. All that being said, it is a good place to get shitfaced and have a nice time if you have some money to blow on a vacation. I have some family that are lawyers in Nevada, so occasionally I have a good excuse to travel there. That tunnel with the lights on the ceiling is cool, I walked through it with a girlfriend at the time while I was candy flipping, I'm pretty sure we looked ridiculous but we hardly even stood out.

I turned 29 a couple days ago so this age topic is coming to a head in my own life as well, I was 18 when I made my tranceaddict account though I must have lurked and leeched the mp3 downloads since age 16 or 17, don't remember. While it is clear that night clubs are a game for the young and I'm certainly feeling the sense that I am not welcome with an increasing frequency, I'm not sure where the fuck else to go. I like a certain style of music, that style of music is performed at night clubs full of young people. People don't just stop enjoying the shit that they liked their entire lives as soon as they reach 30. I don't go to parties to hit on girls, I just like the music and enjoy dancing and lasers and shit.

I figured I'd just keep following music that I find to be enjoyable, and continue visiting the places where it is performed without really giving a fuck what others thought about my presence there. I do remember a strong tradition of respecting one another and mutually attempting to have a nice evening though. When I was an 18 year old little shit I was giving hugs to strange 30 year olds and dancing until my legs hurt and giving myself this god awful ear ringing that hasn't stopped ever since; I think the current 18 year olds owe me the same respect that I have always given to others, thats just me though. Maybe I should just fucking quit and sit at home, but my parents still go out to jimmy buffet concerts and shit so I don't think I should automatically stop enjoying my favorite music just because I'm reaching a certain age.

cool there is a slot available in Ibiza. Ibiza > Vegas it's not the clublife it's also the beach, the ambience, climate, it's cheaper than vegas... and europeans would still prefer Ibiza than travelling thousands of kilometers.

Go to steves, check out the keyboard guys, they are pretty much the equivalent. Too stubborn to realize they are a walking cliche. I get why these words hurt. Why not just accept fate and let the youth do things meant for youth. There is something incredibly desperate with all these aging jukeboxes playing a game that is meant for another generation. Edm is pretty much the only scene were you get old farts playing rockstar. Well that and shitty cover bands that think hair rock will come hack. I get the legacy djs as they are like a museum. But the rest of you old farts, give it a rest. Nobody wants to look up and see some bald overweight underachiever. you want to make a difference, be a mentor or something to the youngins that are up and comming. A healthy scene is a young scene and your old asses should watch from the sideline .

or you can let people do what they enjoy and keep your low functioning autism in your parents basement and not vomit your garbage all over TA

just my $0.02

And Carl Cox , well considering he plays the kind of music that could be mistaken for a a one hour track should just stop for that reason alone. I think you need a certain aphasia to find his sets remotely interesting. Or a lot of fucking drugs. His sets are more monotone than HAL. And those festivals you speak of are were the good things in the scene are not happening. They are the same as seing Styx live reunion. Go nuts I guess. Like I said, these djs are museums and I suppose that is a role to fill but i'm sure about 75% of them could fuck off and things would be no worse off.

Do you even know what aphasia is? It's an impairment caused by lesions in the language and/or speech centers of the brain. There are many types but none of them have anything to do with mentally processing music. Or any other cognitive thought that is outside of the realm of language.

You know, maybe you should step back from the keyboard when you think you have the next great idea, and evaluate what you have to say and how it will be perceived by others. A good thinker is one who can look at a concept or thought from an outside perspective and take that information into account.

auditory aphasia, agnosia ... Didn't realize i was addressing a fucking room full of neuroscientists. Auditory Aphasia is the more colloquial term , is recognized in the medical dictionary and is used quite a bit in Sack's Musicophilia. I"m pretty sure he also knows the official meaning as well. Perhaps you should fuck off my nuts and harass his editor you fucking cave troll.

Also, you can' do what ever the fuck you want. I am just judging you. Well comparing. It appears like judging because i am looking down and the altitude difference is rather large but ya, live and let live. Just do it somewhere else you pill popping prancing prick.

Are you f****** kidding me? Yeah Tiesto might have sold out meanwhile some of the former greats like PVD and Armin have gone to cheese and merely collecting paychecks to play gis. But Carl Cox and Sasha continue to blow my mind every time I hear them.

You trying to say otherwise discredits everything you say. Go away you ignorant troll.

I just don't get how you can listen to the same track for 1 hour. It googles my mind. Adding a fucking bongo after 10 minutes is not my idea of fun. Like if you were to send people that actually like carl cox on a regular basis , send them and fans of Nickelback thru an mri and you will find some lesion somewhere. I mean it is fucking music for people that are so fucked that you could turn the music off and it would still be on.

I bet you could take one of those korg electribe pieces of shit and just have it on a 32 random loop generator were things change on top of the kick. Have that play under carl cox and people will fucking say best set ever. You just don't understand the intricacies of techno. Naww i'm pretty sure i get it. What i don't get is what sort of cocktail i would need to be on to be mentally on par with a monkey. This is ape music. But even apes would not go bananas for it. lol tadum tis.

Hey, look, Richie boasting about how much money he makes again! Haven't seen this for a couple days.

Tell me, Richie, what is it that makes you a better person than everyone else? Is it your huge income? Or your degree from Julliard? Your excellent communication skills?

You're just JEALOUS, Lews. JEALOUS.

But seriously, I don't mind a few of his posts, as he can post some genuinely "interesting" (for lack of a better word) content from time to time. He just, unfortunately, can't seem to keep his head out of his own ass for more than ten seconds.
