ASOT 200 is just ridiculus, of course armin's mixing is good as usual, but over 50 played out tracks stuffed into a 2 hour mega mix :nervous: no thanks, plus if i have to hear andain beautiful things or motorcycle as the rush comes one more time im puking, its all requested tracks so it shows his appreciation to his fans, plus he always seems to have a connection with the croud which is key.
Oh yeah that whole acosta thing has been hilarious, i decided to fck with you guys because i can't stand it when bedroom dj's pick appart ones mixing style and track selection because you have your own opinion :rolleyes: guys like acosta, although not the best, have clearly paid theyre dues to be steadily contracted to play gigs and get paid top dollar on a weekly basis, are you at that position? didn't think so. Acosta has been mixing hard lately thats why i listen to his weekly sets, but as far as my favorite DJ right now, its Victor Dinaire, i think his sets are better than lost world and ASOT put together :) thanks for reading |
Sorry dude but thats bull...Tiesto is #1 right now and his mixing is , and his track selection is . I can name 100 DJs who would better deserve that spot. Alot of people like ty music, that can make a DJ popular in no time...but some of us here who know the music know who the real proffessionals are. |

Lol, do you not see that you're a ing hypocrite, and that you do the same thing to Armin? As for played out tracks, I mean, seriously, what does Acosta play? If you tell me anything but overplayed tracks you're blinded by his chins. He just mixes worse. And none of us ever said we were at his level, if I were in his position I'd do it for the money but I'd much rather be a respected DJ. I mean, when Hybrid has in their album notes "aboslutely no thanks to DJ George Acosta," that shows he isn't even respected by others in his own ing industry. What does that tell you? I'm not gonna ride Amran's jock or anything, but 200 was bar none the best thing I've heard from any trance DJ in quite a while (granted that's not saying much...)
But I guess we can agree on Dinaire, lol. Aside from ASOT 200, that has been boring as IMO since like, epi 100 lol. Jon O' dropping Frenzy and the Mesh remix of Symbols for the first time ever was the !
Oh yeah, prog is still where it's at ******s! |

Man...seriously. How has Sasha or Diggers not taken the top slot in the last few years? Or any of the handful of ing great prog jocks, for that matter. is mind boggling. |

I could care less who's pro or not, and i agree with you about tiesto, i don't like his sets or his productions, the dj list is just a big popularity contest.. it meens nothing, Although PVD and Ferry deserve to be up there. It all comes down to personal preferance, plus i never said Acosta was pro, i know locals who put him to shame, i just enjoy the hard he plays, and yes there are MANY small time dj's who put guys like tiesto to shame, but guess what? the small timers care more about the music rather than the popularity and money. |

I'll give Acosta one thing. He produced some great tracks, in the old days, but I can't stand his monotone hard trance sets. Every track sounds the same and there isn't an inkling of set progression/degression. His mixing is actually alright, and he certainly mixes better than Tiesto, but he's a ing , so him. I have no respect for a dj that thinks he's larger than life. I could play the same tracks as Acosta, better, probably 95% of the time. And I'm not a superstar, but I'm far from a bedroom dj, so that argument is e. Sasha should be the #1 dj in the world, based on his mixing, production and innovation. The guy is constantly stepping it up to the next level. It's actually absurd. |

Ha so true about acosta's sets, always starts melodic then all of a sudden he matches a throbbing baseline in the transition, your also right about his early productions vs new. Just compare something like the reaper with his new junk with jon secada yuk. And about him being an ass, well when the poor guy lifts his arms up in the air he probably thinks his croud loves acosta as much as acosta loves acosta but in actuality the kids are just scketched out and etarted beyond belief, which is cool. The guy seems cool and laid back whenever ive talked to him, he's just got the ego, maybe its short man's sindrome who knows. And yes Sasha is always stepping it up, and ive always loved seeing him spin, he deserves to be up top. |

When I said old productions, I meant way prior to the Reaper, although I like the track. I'm talking about the old acid house he used to write. I believe it was "Set U Free" that he was integral in writing, which I found hard to believe, but it was verified. |
