R: That's another big, thing: a lot of people say that you're a risky mixer. You take a lot of risks in your mixes, rather than making it smooth. Do you see yourself as a risky mixer?
T: Yeah, I see myself as a risky mixer because I think if you mix very clean, that's great for like 3% of the audience, but the other 97% who don't have a clue about mixing tracks, they want to hear the mix. So, I like them to hear the mix, so they know there's a new track coming in.
R: Do you do that for yourself as well? Because staying on the edge is more exciting than doing the same, smooth mix?
T: Yeah, I like to mix like that. And I make mistakes, you know... every night. Every night I play I make, like, three or four, five mistakes.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
They book him not once, but twice at Crobar in the next weeks. :conf: |

He's a ing hack end of story. His mixing sucks and he makes up some bull excuse as to the crowd likes it better that way. Bad mixing ruins the vibe on a dancefloor. I always thought it was cool on the dancefloor when some dj trainwrecked NOT :whip: :whip: |

i can sorta see where he's coming from with what he saying about risky mixing, which can entail harmonic mixing, mixing out early, dropping in tracks like in an instant, changing the mood drastically.
and making mistakes doesn't necessarily mean trainwrecking. i constantly say to myself that i'm making mistakes, but they're mistakes to me and most other people can't even hear what the mistakes i'm making.
of course.... pvd can do all that "risky" mixing without hardly any mistakes, so that sorta just kills tiesto's arguements.
*edit*
also i need to add that even though i don't really like tiesto, i've heard a bunch of live mixes from him that are great. not quite as consistent as others, but he does pull through. on top of that, no one really complains about ferry's abilities, but i can honestly say that the last 3 times i saw him at crobar, his mixing was VERY boring. he would play a track, wait till the bassline is gone, then start mixing only the kicks and intros/outros. to me the energy dies when they mix like that. several other dj's such as markus or g&d do very similiar type mixing.
i always try to follow pvd style mixing which is continuous bassline after bassline, melodies overlapping, hearing one track ontop of the outro of another. its hard to always pull this off though, especially live but it definitely keeps the energy level way up and the flow going.
*edit*
read the interview... thoguht it was decent. |
