Tiesto had a rough time in his sets for a little while there, but over the last several months his sets have been grand for the most part. Still my favorite DJ....6 years and counting.

Firstly, this is an opinion forum about EDM. Anyone can say whatever they'd like to as long as it doesn't threaten others.

Secondly, it doesn't make me feel "cool" or "special" to say the things that I did because I used to be a very big fan of his.

Originally posted by TuanAnh213 Tiesto may have lost it a little in terms of producing, but nyana, skin, traffic, adagio for strings are far better than PVD's recent productions

I agree with this.

There's only about 2 or 3 songs on PVD's latest album that I find listenable. Reflections is garbage compared to 76 or especially In My Memory or airdrawndagger. No offense to PVD fans. He can mix breaks very well!

Originally posted by Carona This a "DJ" poll you know? Not a producer poll. I saw him live in June and he was good. His set had great flow and it wasn't too techy. Then I downloaded his EM set from Amensia, absolutly terrible. His track selection is nowhere near what it use to be..... If he's voted the #1 Dj again then people should be really venture out and listen to some other dj's. If they did, they'd realize Tiesto isn't the world's best.....

The amnesia set is the one I'm talking about that was so awful. I guess he's very hit and miss these days. When I saw him in May I had fun, but it was not anywhere near his level of a few years ago.

That's also what I'm trying to say about listening to other DJs. There are many better ones out there who can give you the same feeling you crave.


-Let me also add I'm not trying to be like those people that just slag him for the fun of it. I realize I've done that to a small degree, but I will only make constructive posts (like this one) from now on.

Exactly. Tiesto is my #1 dj. Armin and Ferry don't even make it to my Top 50, they are just not artists of the calibre that Tijs is. PvD is very high up for me because of his mixing, but I'll take a Tiesto set over a PvD one any day because I prefer the Dutch sound.

Dave, which Amnesia set are you talking about? He plays there every week. Please don't tell me you're talking about the 7-27 one, that set is a masterpiece.

edit: yeah the EM is not that good, but mainly because of Radio 1's bad quality recording. That set is not as beautifully constructed as the 7-27 one, with those breaks at the beginning and all.

Originally posted by YaleTrance i don't agree with that at all though. i think tracks such as Nyana, Barber rework, Radiohead and Skin remixes, and even Traffic ( a track he did for 'fun' )etc. are some the most interesting, unique and forward thinking Dutch trance productions that have come out this year.

If only they had all actually come out

You have got to be fukin shitting me!!!

armins done so much like wot?????

hes played on an internet radio show every week and done some livesets??

his album was ok nothing special, i mean dont get me wrong i think armins very very good but i dont see wot all of you are talking about when u say hes done so much.

maybe just my opinion but i find him and ferry really really boring now. they play a couple of tracks then a few more that sound exactly the same(not literally but u no wot i mean lol) i mean yes when i listen to some of tijs sets i think ohh i wudnt have done that or played that track there that belonged at the start or wotever but it suprises you gives the set a slight change in direction.

i think this year tiesto has definatly been the hardest working, best producing(i no its a dj poll, not a producers one!) and has mixed some of the best livesets of the year dont forget about the hundreds we never hear like the one in amnesia where he finished with andain beautiful things(photon project remix) my friend was there and he said it was the best live set hes ever heard and he doesnt even like tiesto that much hes a big pvd fan! he said tijs blew pvd away!

so to cut all that short i think tiesto definatly does deserve no.1 again this year for all his hard work, his hectic schedule that in the summer saw him almost collapse at the space afterparty! thats dedication!

That made me laff too.

In fact I'm still laughing.

(This is why I come to TA)

No wonder that TRAFFIC was made by mistake ! sounds like a 2 second production and now i understand why ! the worst tune of the year IMO and i think ppl "LOVE" this track only because it was made by tijs !! If it werent his no one would have noticed this garbage !!! Thats my opinion anyway ....

i would bet my whole life you would never make a tune as good as traffic in 2 seconds or by "mistake"...just my opinion
