Heard armin van buuren - burned with desire on pump it or dump it, it got pumped over 95%. I wonder all your thoughts on this? good or bad

good for Armin...maybe it will inject a bit of decent music onto an otherwise p.o.s. radio station too.

we'll all just have to roll our eyes the next time some ingorant z103 listener asks "hey, have you heard of this cool new DJ Armin van Buuren?" :stongue:

I'm with MarkT on this one!
About time they learned how to play the good stuff on there :D
Now let's see how well they stick with his name hehe... i wonder how many mispronounciations of Armin Van Buuren they can come up with :D :tongue2

Um guys... hate to break it to you but AVB is top40 material in most of the world (just not north america)
MarkT
that's kind of the point...trance, techno, or virtually ANY electronic music has rarely been popular enough (ie. mass marketable enough) for mainstream radio. Euro and freestyle trash is about as close as it gets here...yet you can walk into a friggin' McDonalds in the U.K. and hear trance...mainstream radio here SUCKS ASS!

Prodigy, Crystal Method, Daft Punk...um...that's about all I can think of off the top of my head that I've heard on mainstream radio...it's pretty sad...and you get one or two of their commercial hits, that's it...lame.

I just don't buy the b.s. that there's not a big enough market anywhere in Canada...no one is willing to take the chance, that's all. I find it hard to believe that thousands of people hit clubs every week...yet there's no real radio or tv (don't even mention BPM please) presence for EDM. What's needed is someone with the balls (and $$$) to take a chance and a VERY clever ad dept that can secure sponsors and advertisers who's products would be well received and are relevant to the EDM demographic.

Gahhhhhhhhhhh not another one of these...

Yes AvB has been played on z103, same with As the rush comes (radio edit) and PvD - Nothing but you (radio edit). Joy. They weren't even the better versions of some of the tunes, they were the crappy edits or rehashes. Meh. Big deal as I don't listen to the station much anyway.
