A dj's style is what defines them as a dj at least PARTLY. The other thing that defines them as a dj is track selection and mixing (OBVIOUSLY). Tell Mauro Picotto to stop spinning the same techno tracks? Or James Holden to stop using the same tracks with the rolling bassline that he love so much. Or Sasha with his melodic atmospheric beautiful progressive music. You can't do it because then that dj wouldn't be doing what made you like them to begin with.

TRANCEADDICTS, UNITE! THIS IS NOT THE FORUM FOR BASHING VARIOUS TRANCE ARTISTS AND WAR, MUTINY WITHIN THE GENRE. WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPECT THOSE GREAT DJS AND ARTISTS THAT MAKE ELECTRONICA A GREAT AND RESPECTABLE GENRE IT IS TODAY.

BASH ROCK, METAL, RAP AND OTHER JUNK, BUT UNITE AGAINST THOSE WHO BASH ELECTRONICA, WHO SAY THAT IT IS "THE MUSIC THAT ONLY GAY PEOPLE LISTEN TO"; "ANNOYING AND REPETITIVE"; "NO SKILL" ... THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO BE BASHED. CAUSE THEY DONT KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS REALLY ALL ABOUT.

... THAT is unless some of you people have nothing better to do that to instigate these useless inflammatory threads ...

ooo neat thread, might as well plug in.

*smacks PVD with large trout*

That is why John OO Fleming is so awesome, he specifically tries to never repeat his sets when he plays gigs, that way you keep the fans on their toes as to what is going to be heard on the next track in the club. Unless PVD ditches his entire laptop and goes oldschool or plays selections from other artists, what is he to do. I don't mind hearing ATRC or NBY as long as it is blended into the set properly instead of listening to it as if it was off his CD, by this I mean have some of his earlier album songs sandwiched between them.

Originally posted by gatecrasher I would not class the stuff he is playing recently as shit, I would be complaining if he was playing a repitive set which was crap but it is playing top quality stuff at the moment

most of the songs he plays, i have liked for a while and was excited about when i first heard them. but it is unlike pvd to repeatedly play the same entire bunch, and thats why people like me are sick of it.

Originally posted by Busy Child i would like to see him stop playin PVD reworks and remixes. Its getting to a point where i starting to believe that he plays a lot of reworks for mixing ease.

very silly idea

Originally posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 LMAO @ this thread! Before the DJ Mag results came in all of you were like "PvD is #1!", "PvD is God!", "PvD is a fucking amazing producer!". Now he doesn't win and you begin to realize why. I guess it's time for most of you to jump OFF the bandwagon. It's about damn time.

well, one of us ******s, still things he is amazing. that doesnt mean one is blind to the obvious truth that he has not been mixing it up for a couple months. he will come around, and blow everyone away all over again... its just a matter of when he sacks the playlist. i went to see him twice in august, and im going to do it again this month.

as for you, you don't need to be blown away. u stay on your top quality production from dumonde bandwagon. you'll be happy there.
