I agree with Wickedneo on this one. I also agree with the spaming on Tranceaddict.com. Thats is the reason why ETN created a forum just for the spammers and discussion.

I remember Armin van Buuren once said, "Trance use to be a cool word." Whatever happened to it? I guess its the flaming and just down right ignorant users whos not pleased with the big boys productions. These flamers wants more and more and more, even someone like Ferry Corsten who did a remake of Galaxia gets flamed. I just don't understand anymore. This is reason why attend to stay away from COR or the Music Discussion board, because its flamers who are literally fucking up Tranceaddict.com

Originally posted by Wicked Neo ETN right from the start was attracting 500 plus listeners daily, where did you get your listener figure from? Question: if you was booked into a club and only had 25 ppl in front of you, would you just stop and leave the decks or would you carry on? As for ETN it was not as if you was doing your set live, for all we know you could have been playing your latest demo cd but thats not the issue, surely playing for a station like ETN, your purpose is to entertain, even if only one person listened to you and was entertained, then have you not accomplished what you set out to achieve? Your role as a producer and a DJ is to entertain and the amount of ppl you entertain should not come into it I am sure also that you intended to use ETN as another way of promoting yourself, to get yourself more widely known which is not a problem as a great many DJ's including myself also use ETN as a way of promoting ourselves, BUT remember this, it was a FREE way of promoting yourself, all you had to do is give 2 hours of your time once a month or week depending on your schedule, not really a great price to pay for a bit of free promotion eh. A great many more DJ's and producers that are on ETN that are more succesful than yourself, have no problem with the station or others of similar ilk as its a way to express themselves, entertain those who listen to the stations and the added bonus of free promotion. It's also a means of communicating with those who PAY to go see them DJ or PAY to buy thier productions, they get great feedback from those who listen to ETN and it's not all arse kissing, they get a lot of constructive feedback which helps to ensure the future of trance and also to explore new dimensions of trance which helps keep it fresh. ETN who provides a free service to all those that listen provide quality programming for little or no recompense, the staff and DJ's of ETN do it purely because they love our genre of music and without stations like ETN, trance and it's subgenres would not be as diverse and as popular as it is.

i dont think its on to have a go at me for not continuing my show. no where did i sign a contract saying "i, mike foyle hereby commit to entertaining the nation, this is my purpose in life." All i said was I didnt feel it was worth my while. I would rather do the odd guestmix on stations like DI.fm. Also the reputation of Internet radio djs became so poor that I didnt really want to get too involved. you can tell by this thread alone that the perception of internet djs is "bedroom djs" etc etc. whether or not that is true i would rather not be thought of as one of them. promotion isnt an issue at all either. there are other ways of promoting music and while i think its great that etn is a free service and has good interests in mind, it was not for me, so what?

I disagree on this point. I'm fed up with those fu**ed Arminish tunes we heard every thursday night, and 1 month later, on the bags of every DJs...

Some of the best tunes i heard last year were played on ETN show by the likes of thomas datt, georges hales, luke terry, and this year i'm in love with sean tyas show on ETN

So what? Should I only go to clubs with Armin, ferry, PvD.... ??? I'll kill to see guys like thomas and georges in a club, bur for the moment, the only way to listen to their sets is to be connected to ETN

i've also met some guys from the crew @ some event, and i'm proud to prefer ETN to DI.fm

keep on listening to ASOT if ya want some average tunes, try Sonicvibe, t Datt, G Hales and L Terry's shows f you want some massive tunes who, unfortunately, won't be released since they're not armin playlisted

im not saying i agree with it, far from it. im just saying thats the perception generally. and like i said you can tell just from reading this thread. i dont want anyone to think im criticising the djs on etn at all. im sure most of them are great djs.

I think most of these DJs did themselves a diservice because if you notice. ASOT has stopped doing XL shows because everybody has their own show now, so it made no sense to have them also as guests on ASOT. ALso GDJB used to have 2 guests per week. Now they only do guests every other week and I also have noticed they dont book DJs who have their own shows someplace else.

It seemed like when DJs were booked for ASOT or GDJB they would always bring a great set. You could tell that time was put into making it something special. Now it seems like these guys are just throwing something together to fulfill their comitment to ETN.

Will on the ETN page *UPDATE: The closer we get to the end of June, the LESS likely it looks that ETN will close down. It WAS a POSSIBILITY and still is, but "possible" and "certain" are two very different concepts. Looks like all the ETN haters started the celebration a bit prematurely, as fools often do. I'm tempted to have a little grammar lesson but it would probably just be a waste of my time

Good news for ETN, sad news for all the idiotic ETN haters... Still check this thread for meaningful comments, a few have been posted...
