I think its unfair to judge a DJ from a recorded set. After you see him over the new years, it will be interesting to see if you have the same opinions.
Personally im loving the tiesto of late, maybe its because i have a diverse taste in music, i love prog and trance but i also like my techno and tiesto covers all of these.
The techno he is playing isnt even real techno, you would rarely find the tracks he plays in a techno set, he plays tech trance. I think its great how he is playing out of the norm, he is trying something new mixing up a few genres. It might not sound the best in a 1 hour set. But if you were there live i can guarentee the room would be going off.
I lost interest in tiesto end of last year early this year but then i saw him 3 times in Europe and i was just amazed at the enegry he created in the room, it was then i realise why he was voted number 1 and i think he deserves it. He truly knows how to read a crowd and i think that is the most important thing as a DJ.
I mean its only a small minority of us who can pick up the technical aspects of a set most people who go to these events dont have a clue about whats going on, they just know the tracks they like and go a long to have a good time and tiesto dishes out this in the best possible way.
Saying PVD is spot on every set is not true, i dont like his mixing style at all and he fucks up a lot of his mixes also. DJs are only human and its pretty easy to stuff up a mix, most of them wouldnt be noticable when your out but so easy to pick up when recorded.
Escee this is your opinion and thats cool, looks like this thread has gone a bit nasty tho
Oh and one more thing, this thread reminds me of one of J00Fs (this man rocks hard ) colums where he comented on recorded sets can be a good thing in that people listen to their fav DJs were ever they are in the world, but also a bad thing cause people change opinions on a DJ over the recorded set when really it could be totally different live.
