quote:

Helen: ...So how would you compare your own sound with other djs.?

Armin: Well i dont watch alot of other djs. To be honest, i haven’t heard another
dj set in its entirety over the past 3 years. I mean, ive heard the beginning of a Tiesto
set and the end of a Ferry set.....Ive never stayed on stage. I mean, ive heard half of Tenaglia's set at Space, Miami. I think that was 5hrs....and that is the longest ive heard Dj's, and other dj sets.You know, its just......I try to stay as uninfluenced as possible....and sometimes its really hard. One thing that strikes me the most is that my fans and the trance genre in general. Such as Trance.nu and Tranceaddict.com...the are nice people in general. Where as you go over to the GlobalUnderground website....Those guys....
They are all slapping you in the face. Its unbelievable!! (laughs and raises voice)

You should know that we Dj's talk amongst each other and i know i have the benefit of the doubt of the audience at the moment....but Tiesto has been hit in the face over the past few years..so hard ... and i think it is totally undeserved you know. Its the same for us djs....Its just like you guys. We are constantly trying to involve and trying to surprise you guys....and the audience, and with the message boards. You sometimes hear from others that they are not really fond of your productions. So your an asshole (laughs) That you made dust.wav and so on. So sometimes for us its really hard to cope with that,cause you know, when im in the studio its really hard you know....

If you go....you probably...like say both of you probably have produced yourselves, or try
to produce ..

Cameron: So you don’t like being labelled 'Trance'
Armin: No....no...Ill tell you why. Because i made trance before it was called trance, and back then it was called 'energetic club' or a huge amount of other names for it. I always say if you would name Sydney, the city...say if you would name it Amsterdam next year and the year after you would name it New York. Nobody would be able to find your city again...So i think the discussion about what genre we like is pretty useless. I think you can say its Electronic Dance Music, driven by melodies and euphoric elements.....


Hmmm... I think we can all learn from this.

That is the stupidest metaphor ever! Renaming cities? haha whatever.

He probably doesn't want to be pigeon holed as trance because it's the uncool thing to do.

H's right. Many times ppl argue about genres. What i call trance you may call progressive.
