That's probably in his own little 'cistane' world.

it is right not to start any wars between listeners of every dj...anyone can like tiesto or pvd or any dj...but i also worry about the dj charts? Why does he always keep holding place number 1 then?

why is hip hop the mainstream music in america? ...and I find it hard to believe the "dj charts" are a true testament to actual dj skill

does it matter how many autographs a dj signs?
does it matter how energetic he is behind the tables?


Most important thing is this:
does the dj make you dance, smile, party?

If he can it doesn't matter if he does with it dodgy transitions, but amazing crowd-reading like Tiesto. Or 3 turntable dj-ing like carl cox, or albetoning like Sasha.

I agree with you

Which dj do you think is the best from United Kingdom?
Carl Cox, Sasha or Digweed?

When I started listening to Tiesto I thought he was fantastic. I adored his productions and remixes in 2001 and I never thought he was gonna be as big as he is today. A couple of years ago tiesto gave trance a huge boost. His productions really shined and his remixes became floor stompers. His remix of silence rocked EVERYONE's world, everyone on this board liked it, don't lie and say you dont. Tiesto paved the way onto becoming a big time dj, up there with names like Digweed, COX, Sasha. Just before this time, everyone liked tiesto, all of you on this board liked his performances and productions. It was not until tiesto (and trance) went a different route a couple of years ago. His "sound" changed, and trance was evolving.

I think the "main" reason for people hating tiesto is his status as a big time DJ. When most people say "I hate tiesto because of his music" It means "I hate tiesto because he is commercial now, and im gonna be a real "tranceaddict and hate commercial stuff. It got to the point that trance was getting popular, Tiesto was the height of his game, and he was getting more commercialized. ITS A KNOWN FACT - If alot of people like him and his music becomes more commercialized, people will eventually hate him. People like dj's/music that's more "unknown" or "underground" or "not many people have heard of" Even if the artist still has that touch, people WILL hate him because of his commercialized status.

I think that is the main reason. Dont argue with me saying "SASHA was huge and people dont hate him at all". Sasha was the biggest dj in the world for a while but he never "sold out" as you all say. (by the way, sasha is amazing.)

Tiesto brought trance into a stage where it was becoming more well known and commercialized. As a senior in high school, no one know shit about tiesto and confused genres alot. By the time i graduated college, everyone and their mother knew tiesto, whether you liked rap or rock or whatever. Now people hate him because of that. Thats why when you read retarded posts, you see stuff like "OMG tiesto SUXORZ" And "TIESTOR SUX BALLZ HE IS TEH WORST DJ EVER". People are just going along with trend, going with the "I hate tiesto" flow.


BUT there are other reasons people hate tiesto!!!.
People who actually have standards might stray away from the trend of hating tiesto, and dislike tiesto for his performances and abilities. I have to say that in the passt couple of years, tiesto has dissapointed me a bit. I think the last track that I liked alot from his was flight 643. After that, his productions did not do it for me. Adaigo for strings did not impress me that much either. Its not tiesto though, its me. I have been listening to alot of prog house lately, so my style is changing. To tell you the trush, when i saw tiesto play in nyc, he was incredible, his mixing was off a bit, track selection was predictable, but he got people moving and the energy was unbelievable.

I don't hate tiesto. He is a good dj. I do enjoy listening to him a bit. To tell you the truth, i did somewhat fall into the "I hate tiesto because he got commercial" group for a bit, im not gonna lie. But the real trush is that over the last couple of years my style of music went from trance, to tech-trance, to progressive trance, to progressive house.

So this is my OPINION on this situation, it is what I SEE as facts in MY eyes. Please... and i beg of you please.. dont assault this post.. just read it a bit and see my point of view.

Thanks,
Damien

Dear Damien,
It was really perspective and useful for us to have a comment and write like this in this forum..because almost everyone thinks like you but since they want to be on a side, the either choose to Hate and blaim Tiesto or defend and respect him...I am also in the situation as you..The popularity and attraction that Tiesto has made can`t be ignored but it is changing..the world is changing...Anyway, I am really wondering about this year`s best dj award!
