I seem to remember exactly the same arguments last year about how PVD kept playing the same sets over and over again. DJs play for the people in the club, not the people on the internet.

W3RD!!!

the shorter armin plays the better. When he gets into thoes longer 4-6 hour sets he has problems. The problem that i have with armin is that i can walk 3 feet over to my decks and play the exact same set. Yea my mixing isnt as good, but big deal.

you left out one key element....location. we can't just get up and see him when he comes to town if you live far away...listening to sets is like going to see him in my book. it's all about the music. unless he knows how to do amazing backflips and shit while he's onstage

the shorter the better? maybe if you want a cookie cutter set of anthems.....and thats when i dont get much satisfaction from a set....longer sets make for creativity....and a journey...instead of trying to play all your fave tunes mashed into two hrs......but that is what you going to get on a normal tour date/clubnite in smaller cities where 2-3 hr sets are the norm...i crave extended sets and lucky for me, i live close to a club that can offer them on a regular basis (Space) thats why im always talking about how bad i want to see armin play there instead of other venues in miami.

curious: have you SEEN armin play 4-6 hrs? i have....

lol you think i want cookie cutter anthems 100%, well you are wrong. Ive seen 2 5 hour armin sets(nyc), and 2 2-3 hour armin sets(boston). The longer sets have sucked and have been boroing. I wanted to leave after 2-3 hours. Imo armin can not hold energy for 5 hours with the style he plays, because all he does ie play

quote:

, he doesnt vary his sets, he may drop a single house track, or a single prog track, then play of hard track like mark norman. I love 8 hour sets, just not from armin.

This reminds me of another dj that used to/still does only play 2-3 hour sets...hrm who could that be.

Oh man... you hit the nail on the fucking head...

I couldn't agree more.. I have like 2 of the 150 ASOT sets.. Armin is a amazing DJ and I will never take that away from him.. I always love what I hear him come out with...

Originally posted by ziddy Yeah, sure he's nice but a little more variation in his sets would make him a little more nice in my opinion

Variation, I only want one kind of music, "good music"... I don't care about no stinkin variation.

i think the only track that hes playin right now that i cant is that new tech track he made with mike. And I dont think his djing skills are better then any other djs ive seen.
