I'd say it is.
Not everyone likes the same things, so why would he just want to bring in trance DJs? My policy on music is laid out in my sig.;) |

lol, actually opinions on music are just that... OPINIONS. you don't deserve to judge me just because I only like trance just like I don't judge you or anybody else on what genres they prefer.
the only reason I'm responding to this post is because NOWHERE in any of my comments to liquified did I say anything about only wanting them to bring trance shows. DaveSaenz just TOTALLY pulled that out of his ass. if anything I wish liquified would stick to the house/prog/nubreed and AWAY from trance. :tongue2
anyway, I'm done. I said my peace and apologized to Devin for overreacting and I already hate myself for dragging down an Armin themed thread into useless bickering. You won't hear from me again on this thread, I swear. anybody has anything they want me to read PM me. |

liquified, if you're still reading this thread, why did you feel the need to justify yourself so much to somebody you don't even know? :P

I wasn't commenting about anything personal about you so it doesn't matter if i know you or not. The only thing i said that was remotely directed towards you was the comment about only liking one genre and i thought that was closed minded but that was a genral statement and not directed towards any one individual. I never said one deragotory statement about you in the thread so like i said it doesn't matter if i knew you or not. What i did feel that needed addressing was the broad accusations that you were making about Liquified without real facts to back it up, and i have those real facts which you obviously did not. So i thought it needed addressing.
I'm done with that conversation though, but i am very up for the conversation about music and only listening to one genre if you are still up for some musical conversation. |

| My friends from atlanta tell me that you have not brought any good shows to that city except tiesto for yrs. They complain to me that they don't get good trance dj's and could you please make them stop damnit because my ears have taken enough abuse, I tell them to visit toronto because we get better dj's imo but that won't stop them, so bring quality trance dj's to shut them UP!. |

LOL torontotrance. Your friends are all right... which I think was one of my points that got lost back in the shuffle. I was all set to forget this thread then someone linked me to your post.. nice one :) but we want him to NOT bring trance shows and let the good promoters get them ;) "A" for effort though
:haha:
devin you're full of crap. I tried to make nice but there's absolutely nothing wrong with preferring one genre of electronic over another so there's no discussion there. We all have our preference. my "broad accusations" were based on the "fact" that you haven't brought for trance events in YEARS (obligatory 'except for tiesto') and I sure as hell haven't seen one on a weekend. Put your money where your mouth is and quote my challenge to bring a decent trance event on a weekend.
I was wrong before. this flaming stuff is fun I can see why some people get into it. :disbelief and all before my second cup of coffee too :thepirate alright I have a station to run I'm out. |

I was done with it, you asked a question and i answered you. If you really thought it was over like you said you would of taken my words as it being over. Because it was.
I thought you might possibly want to have an intelligent conversation about music and your opinions on genre specific listening. I was not trying to start any flame war or anything, i was looking for a decent musical debate on a subject that we both belived in but we were on opposite sides of the fence on. I guess thats not possible, so oh well. |

I don't even know how this got started or where this discussion is going anymore, but I know it had to do with me saying that liquified hasn't brought any decent trance shows to Atlanta in the past few years (except Tiesto) and the fact that now that there finally are going to be some, they're on weekdays.
just for the record devin, at NO time did I ever mention anything about wanting you to be a genre specific company... I'm not stupid. No production company anywhere could survive especially as long as liquified has if they only did 1 genre.. some other guy brought that up.
all I did was mention that for the past few years, Liquified hasn't brought any good trance it's been all OTHER genres except trance... and a big ol' THANK YOU FOR PROVING MY POINT by posting that list... not ONE single trance DJ. even on your upcoming list which should include Scott Bond, Armin van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten.
but at least we're all in agreement now :)
my apologies if you misunderstood, I wasn't looking for a musical debate. I know what music I like and I'm completely happy with it. Guess we were totally both on different pages. no big deal. all I would like would be some decent trance shows, in Atlanta, and on a WEEKEND for a change, which apparently Liquified isn't interested in even though it would have been nice for us fans that have normal corporate jobs. Not every raver is a candykid with nothing but time on weekdays. :clown: |

Actually there are other breakbeat djs, Hybrid (dj set) play breaks and we also had jonathan lisle hear and he plays breaks but i forgot him from that list. Steve Gerrard was supposed to play for us recently but the venue was double booked so we had to back out. We had Uberzone right around my original time frame of 12-20 months as well.
Adam freeland was just here for our friends at the crescent room, suprisingly the turnout was low. Adam freeland is bad ass and Liquified was actually the first one to bring him to Atlanta a few years ago.

Nah, i don't mind if you dissed icey, there are a lot of icey lovers and there are a lot of icey haters. Thats just the way it goes i guess. Icey has done a lot for the US scene in terms of breaks though and he's playing a lot of nu school these days. But thats just a matter of opinion.

Oh atlanta gets a ton of diverse talent, that list was just who i have brought recently, not the city as a whole. I mean the amount of talent that comes through atlanta is huge, every week is packed with a variety of talent. |

Show me a good venue on the weekends for the shows that will allow us to do 18 and up? The majority of the fan base for Trance events are 18-25 with a large amount of that under 21. No club in this city will do 18 and up on weekends, except for Blu and i am currently waiting for them to finish the construction of their new bar, "wet", before we do anymore events there. |

Seen Acosta a bunch of times, seen Icey a few times.. Icey even played some good trancey breaks sets last few times I heard him... those would be the kickass Mirage parties that I referred to earlier.
anywho,
I hear your point on the target audience.. and even though I prefer 21+ shows I have two venues for you since you ask...
The Riviera
it's even open later than Eleven50 isn't it? I very much prefer it over Eleven50, if only because the DJ isn't sitting 50 feet up in the air away from the audience... and I KNOW Armin likes to be close to the audience. Does the term "people's DJ" ring a bell? it would if you're an Armin fan ;) He even comes down INTO the audience and dances with the crowd when he's at Glow in DC (and I've heard about him doing it in Israel and elsewhere)
and the Dekalb Atlanta Center
I know it's huge but then again we ARE talking about Armin (and Ferry), 2 of the biggest DJs in the world.. and I seem to recall Liquified throwing parties there before? maybe not |
