He mentions that he spends an entire day of the week working on ASOT... He probably gets the impression that a lot of people believe that he's paid for his weekly show. |
that's what i thought, until recently..
he probably wants to get that misconception cleared up |

Great interview.

So I'm not going to play boring progressive or build my ego around your night. Its your night for Christ's sake, you're paying 40 bucks or whatever to get in, I want to make you feel special, you shouldn't make me feel special.” |

| holy poo armin is an awesome person. Has he ever said something stupid or made himself sound like an ass in an interview b4? Seems every DJ other then him has done it at some point. |

It's ok if he mentions it in his interviews... but seems like every time he gets the chance he starts going on about it... or maybe i'm just reading the wrong interviews or something.
anyway, i think this is too much: "Its even more important for me to stress that I don't get paid for a State of Trance, I don't get money, nothing, I don't even get money for gas when I have to drive to Amsterdam. I really do it just out of love for the music" |
Im not a huge armin fan, but i dont think this is too much.
We all complain about DJ's getting paid too much for 'playing somebody else's records", and maybe he is just taking a shot back at us critics.
Why do people on TA start their own broadcasts? love of the music. I think he is trying to re-connect with his fans, letting us know, that he is NOT above us, as too many DJ's have come to believe.
If i was called a cash grabbing DJ, and wasnt, i would want to set the record straight as well. nothing wrong with it. |

Actually, I came out of my interview with Paul van Dyk with an immense amount of respect for him as well. It was a different interview altogether in terms of answers and philosophy, compared to the Armin interview (which I feel was a wonderful interview and Suzan did a great job getting Armin to relax and just be real).
I also did an interview with Christopher Lawrence that sticks out in my mind as one of the most down to earth DJs I've ever had the chance to speak with. He has made it a mission to always remember where he came from, standing out in the crowd and looking up at the DJ, remembering how to be in total awe of the guy up there in the booth. I've seen Christopher stand out in the audience, cheering on the opener for his set. It's endearing. Christopher is truly a great guy too.
