To me he is not even close to bringing a theme in his sets. And Cyrus King, you forget that the DVD was shot in 2001, its 2004 now. Tiesto was much better in those days. You keep on bringing up that eventho I may not like Tiesto I still dance to the music. I was at that party to see Moby and David Bowie do a live preformance. Seeing Tiesto, Digweed, and Carl Cox was just a bonus! The fact that they video taped me for the DVD was even a bigger bonus, but when I actually saw Another Day At the Office, my opinion of Tiesto changed for the worst. You can tell that he is all about the fame, the money and the awards. Way to egocentric for my liking.

Come on, we saw you smiling at the camera in glee as Tijs was spinning.

And whats wrong with striving for success? He's already proven his talent in this field, so why not take advantage of his growing popularity and make the cash he deserves?

P.S that video was shot about a year and a half ago... in the summer of 2002.

bring that muthafucka back

though i'm more into house and tribal house nowadays, i still love my collection of 45 tiesto sets. the sets he's laid down over the years...epic, just epic.

Not at all.
What I'm trying to say is that to be number one in anything it takes a lot of practice and screwing up.
The fact that 'someone' might have heard Tiesto screw up shouldn't be surprising; why should it be?
And just because he screwed up once or twice doesn't make him not deserve 1st place.
Sure there a elitest out there that just sit in the middle of the dancefloor just to critic the set (and that's you, I'll bump yea ) and lay claim they could hear that bad dog's ear frequency change but really, who cares about that?
He's number one for a reason.

Meh. Tiesto in 2001 and prior untouchable, Tiesto after 2002...meh. I was at that party in June of 2003 @ the Docks even though I wasn't going to go. Hix mixing was the kind that I've seen better from him, his track selection was good in that the tracks he chose were good ones but they didn't flow. He started off with a proggy house tune (Junkie XL - Red Pill blue pill) as his first tune and then drops nothing but trance afterwards then goes to prog again with Dirty sticky floors and then plays more trance then techno towards the end? I mean it makes no sense because he's just randomly switching between all the genres, there is no flow. Armin and Ferry are much better at keeping flow than Tijs is. When I saw Ferry @ Ultra Spin 2 he started off by dropping a proggy breaks tune because that was what James Holden was finishing off with and he kept it going...for a few more tunes until he slowly switched it up to his style and then he killed it. THAT is how progression should be done within a set. But if Tiesto makes people happy by playing any random tune thrown anywhere in a set then so be it...but anybody can do that no?




P.S Tiesto IS the one who got me into the music (Trance Energy 2000 and Innercity 2000) both sets are REALLY GOOD. So to anyone who says I don't know what Tiesto's style is about knows nothing about me.

Ive seen tiesto 7 times since 2001, and everytime he gets progresively worse. (track selection, mixing, interaction etc) with the exception of one show.
the sad thing is, Ill go see him again, because for all that I hate about him, he still does play pretty good music that I wont here on a big system for a big crowd for a while after that.
If tiesto were here one week, and another trance DJ the next, I would have no problem skipping Tiesto. but its a lack of real trance parties that keep me coming back to his mediocrity.

I think since his D.D set of 2002 he has gone down considerably. He just seems to have gotten too comfortable being recognized as the "number one" dj in the world, and thinks he doesnt have to try or be as creative as he once was.

Tiesto is not the only big name DJ who's been screwing up lately, you know. Take Oakey for example. I'd say from 1986 to 2001 he was UNTOUCHABLE. Since Bunkka, I question him in almost exact same way I question Tiesto. Consider yourself.

I got an idea.

why not try to go to a party with a open mind and try to enjoy it??

Instead of worrying about track flow and how this progressive song does not mix well with the next techno song, seriously.

Its sad to see a lot of these topics lately
