In my opinion I think you guys are alittle exagerated. Tiesto isn't all that bad, and he definitely spins plenty of tracks before anybody else does. Whether you like him or not he is still one of the most "POPULAR" djs around, and your telling me he does't spin any new stuff? Could you imagine how many promos this guy gets before anyone else. Of course he's always gonna spin some of his records cause that's what people go see him for, that's not all that difficult to understand, or is it? I do agree about the trainwrecks but I guess it usually isn't enough to ruin a set for me. Now this whole Sasha ableton thing is a little rediculous, I mean come on sasha's style is so different. Mixing at 115 to 135 bpms is so much easier than mixing at 140 and above, not to mention that usually there is so much more going on in a trance track compared to a prog one. If you ask me props and respect to both djs for all of what they've accomplished and for all of what they've done for electronic music.

dont listen to tiesto then, if he is so bad, why?

I don't listen. Well, that often. I stopped listening to him around 2003 after Nyana came out. Nyana was his last good record. Every now and then I catch a set by him, and it's pretty much the same as Just Be, just with a few other tracks thrown in. And I have seen the Tiesto In Concert movie which proved to me that he takes music secondary almost. Like background music to a circus or elevator music well... an elevator.

As much of a Tiësto fan I am, this wouldn't work. It'd be like trying to teach an Amish person to program computers. Tijs has all his talent in track selection and working the crowd, and theres nothing wrong with that. Good idea though.


Btw, its amazing how overrated Live and Tiësto both are. This is a nice example of how haters can ruin a thread.

Before you say something... yes, i use Live everyday, and most likely was using it before all you Sasha addicts did.

ha ha ha ...
tiesto threads are more interesting than watching WWE ...
bashing and bad- mouthing .... Tiesto is like HHH (triple H) ...
No good but Always a winner ....

Note:- PVD is "The rock" - People's champ.

Tiesto should try ableton .... if he likes it he shud use it ... or else
he wakes up in the morning just to find new vinyl boxes on his mail daily.

I find the idea of superstar DJs offensive. They all suck. Some more than others. But generally they are just half arsed producers peddling their own tracks and remixes to a crowd of fans who see them as some sort of god.

Fuck, its not even like mixing trance is all that technically difficult compared to breaks or techno and our number 1 ambassador cant even get it right ffs. Dont even start with the mixing in key crap. Most big jocks use CDJs with pitch control anyway. I suppose theres always the fact that 'tiest0r gets teh partay started right now' eh? right!?!!11 *sigh*

We need more live acts like NuNrg to take the stage. Trance is about a rackload of synths going spastic. I want to see a virus, JP8000 and giant fuck off mixing desk up there and feel the music penetrate the back of my skull. Fuck knows how it got to be this versache parade of eurotrash-posterboys.

I wholeheartedly agree on this..

While I don't mind DJs getting some recognition for what they're doing, I find it appalling to see to what extent they're glorified nowadays. This does not just go for trance DJs though, it's more about DJs in general.

It's good to see there still are enough quality DJs that have some kind of modesty in them left though.. DJs that can get a party started without trying to be the center of the universe.
