Tiesto has sucked from the beginning. The only good song he ever put of is Traffic and even now that's old. He hasn't dipped into any other genres, he's way to expensive to sign for any good events and just plays his own shit now.
Don't get me wrong I love trance. But for me the best DJ in the world skillwise is Mauro Picotto. He can remix anything, and he can mix everything. |
And this is the guy that said that the only dj he has seen live is Benny Benassi because he's underaged.
First of all, over the past four years I've seen Tiesto live over 20 times and Picotto live over 6. I've heard more trainwrecks from Mauro, no doubt about it. There are many techno djs more technically talented than Picotto (Varela, Beyer, Clarke, Liebing, Rush, Mills etc.).
Secondly, TRAFFIC his only good track???
And last but not least, Tiesto is the leading innovator of Dutch trance. Even suggesting that he doesn't delve into other genres is offensive. I recommend you search on the people's reaction when tracks like Flight 643 came out over 3 years ago. It caused a riot and threads like this one started ever since. Or when he started playing Gatex in 2002, or all of the Max Walder/Frank Biazzi, even Plastikman techno. Hells, he has even played acid like when he started with Hardfloor in Amnesia last summer. Breaks, prog, techno, you mention it. Tiesto is one of the most inconsistent djs ever, to say that he always plays the same style is a hugely ignorant overstatement, and just proves that you don't have a clue.
And people have a right to criticize his current stuff or after 2002 when his mixing started slacking off. But to say that he has sucked from the beginning? WTF. Have you heard Innercity 1999, Energy 2000, ISOS 2, Magik 1-6?
