Ah, I gotcha.

I concur

Indeed, reason why this following quote...

this thread inspired me to go buy sandstorm and zombie nation on vinyl. seriously, because they WERE and still ARE good tracks. I think most of you are just worried about what people would think if they heard you listening to sandstorm. Think for yourselves. if you dislike a song just because it's mainstream or just because everyone else thinks its stupid... then your disliking the music for the wrong reasons.

Darude? "deejay"? gross

agreed

Never heard Darude spin. but i have been at alot of parties where so called cheese tracks that i wouldnt listen to on my own were put in just the right spot in a set and they sounded amazing. the quality of a track is one thing but if its dropped propperly it can make a seemingly crap song sound amazing. i think thats why peoples oppinions of sandstorm dwindled so quickly. hell if i went out for a good night of drinking and heard Kaycee - escape or Signum - what ya got 4 me come on after 50 cent piece of shits - in da club. i would probably hate those tracks too. it has alot to do with the context with which you hear the track. for me sandstorm was way overplayed in the crap clubs and bars across north america... but i really really liked music. and even back in the day, sandstorm.

Originally posted by MoneyAddyct In looking over the Top 100 DJ's according to DJ Magazine, I am surprised to find that DaRude isn't on there. Did DJ Magazine make a grave error, or does no one know who DaRude is? (www.darude.com.) I had the opportunity to see Tiesto and DaRude last Fourth of July and although Tiesto was very good, I think DaRude stole the show, by far. Does anyone else agree that he should have made the list? MoneyAddyct

Dont be a twat, they arent even in the top 250.

Well I don't know if you guys have been to a darude party before but from my first-hand experience and first impression of him, I reckon he was a pretty good dj. He interacted well with the crowd and he even came down to the dance floor, and overall it was a good night out.

As for Sandstorm, face it... it was a hit back then. A huge ass hit.
In fact, its hits like these which grab the attention of people who dont listen to trance. Catchy music. This was one hit which made non-tranceheads go 'hey that tune sounds pretty good'.., and perhaps opened the door to trance for many others... followed by top 40 appearances... thus turning into a 'mainstream' tune.

My point being ... dont diss a tune just coz its old and has been heard by everyone, or coz of how people look at it over the years.

Sandstorm was an excellent tune, you can't change that. And you would still be hearing it had it not been overplayed over the years.

Peaceee

none of you have seen darude live. he actually is a very good dj

Kaycee - Escape & Signum - What Ya Got 4 Me are not even in the same league as "sandstorm" imo...

(kaycee & signum are waaay better)
