You're dead to me boy, more dead than your dead mother...
00-innercity_2003_-_dj_tiesto_live_(idt_radio)-12-21-2003.mp3
This is with out a doubt one of the worst sets i’ve heard this year. This pseudo techno that tiesto is playing is horrible. If I wanted to listen to techno, i'd go listen to a techno dj who had some skill.
It’s not just been this one set either, I haven’t heard a really good tiesto set through out the entire year. You can say he going through a transitional period or make a number of other excuses, but he has been confused about what to play for a while in my opinion. You cant go from some popular progressive tracks, to some popular trance tracks, to some half assed techno stuff in the space of an hour.
I think i’m more than capable to judge this based on the live sets and cds i’ve heard from him this year. His recent cd he mixed for being the worlds number one dj, was crap. It suffered from what I mentioned above, imo, and the mixing was really average. Nyana was crap. Poorly mixed, average track selection. I was really disappointed with it and i'm sure many other people were as well.
Gone are the magikal days where you could download a tiesto set and expect absolute quality. Thankfully he stopped at magik 7, besmirching that series with the tripe he plays now would have been awful. No other cd i've heard rivals magik 6, it could be tiesto, it could be trance being made today, it could be, and probably is, a bit of both. But the tiesto we all knew and once loved is gone.
Tiesto's productions appear to heading the way of his sets. Blackhole is releasing a lot of music in that style now, and Tiesto - Traffic shows the way, which he is heading. I don’t think suburban train, flight 643, and magik journey calibur songs will ever be released by tiesto again.
If tiesto plays a sub standard set on new years day, then ill saunter off into the house room probably, and ill take the respect I once had for tiesto with me. Which is truly sad. Fortunately there are other guys, which will carry on my love for trance, armin for the most part. Tiesto should take a few notes out of his book. In my opinion armin should have number 1 this year. Especially when 1 and 2 were tiesto and van dyk.
Anyone else think the same way? |

sif. tiesto is one of the only dj's in the world (with the exception of ferry) that can mix up techno and trance and make it enjoyable to listen to. the best thing about him is that he isn't strictly trance!
ps ferry > armin:p |

Except he doesnt make it enjoyable to listen to, if you want to listen to techno, then go listen to a techno dj, who im sure you could appreciate being 100 times more technically skilled than tiesto.
and, no way, ferry has gone down hill too imo. Armin owns all trance djs at the moment.
Boogerd, i enjoy lots of different djs, and i could hardly think that my thought out and rational post was a flame? |

| hehe i agree with u in some respects if tiesto wants to play techno he should at least do something technically impressive. i dunno it's probably personal preference but i find armin's sets are "too" uplifting, i enjoy ferry's stuff cos he plays lots of random stuff from prog to hard dance. |

when armin was here for godskitchen in 2002, i agree he played a set that was too uplifting, my arms were sore. But two tribes this year, his set while uplifting wasnt constantly so.
I think his 6 hour set in january will be the perfect test. If he tries to play trance for 6 hours, then itll get boring. Hopefully he will mix it up, and you will be proved wrong. |

I was there during the set and everyone was dancing. You're only listening to a broadcast, a recording. A dj plays dor a crowd, and playes what that crowd likes, and he played superb! And the mixing wasn't that bad, have a look at johan gielen!
When you judge a dj, first you must have seen him live! and you have to have been there during the set which you are bashing or approving!!!

p.s: for him producing songs such as urban train: second tune was a new tiesto and his rmx of adagio for strings! |
