| So my question is: How did ATB become #9 DJ in the world if he can't even mix? Too many fanboys? |

This was my second time at Spundae. I came alone but met some really cool people and even made a couple new friends while there so I never felt alone. Armin absolutley rocked. He had a great track list and even more importantly flawless mixing that kept the energy level up. I could't stand ATB. He should really just stick to producing music. He train wrecked through just about every track. No matter how good the individual tracks are a DJ should do more than just be a human juke box. The transitions should be seemless and complimentary in energy levels and keys. Every time he "mixed" a new track in, it was ubrupt and killed the mood. I couldn't take it for long and found myself in the other two rooms where the music and mixing were good. I came back to ATB every now and then to find out he was still struggling with his mixing. On second thought he may not have been struggling, I think he doesn't even try. He is that bad. Props to K. Sky. She was awesome! We really need more talented female DJs. The after-hours party also rocked. We partied till 9:00am which was barely enough time to sober up. Overall this will go down as an awesome night for me. The only other downside to the night besides ATB was that I somehow lost my digital camera. I also thought it odd that there wern't any restrooms inside the afterhours club and there weren't really any places to sit down like Circus. Thanks to Spundae for putting together such a tight production and to all the people who came in dressed in white to go along with the nights theme. |
Look out cause most people here will call you a jealous hater if you care about good mixing :p :stongue: |

You didnt really fix anything lol.
ATB wins though because in the end better tracks > mixing.
Although I like both...because then you go to a place called EDM heaven. |

Thats right. I dont care how good the mixing armin was doing (it was great), the shoddy track list and low energy set was enough to truely be disapointed. I dont think anyone on the dance floor even cared if ATB just played back to back tracks, cause everytime he did, id look around and EVERYONE had a HUGE smile on their face every single time a track was played, it was AMAZING energy. During armins set, everyone kept looking around and waiting for the energy to happen, and it barely did 75% into his set. Aweful. ATB Rocked it, well mixed or not. |

Maybe this analogy will make sense to some. Imagine you are in a Ferrari and driving down this beautiful windy road at top speed but every 7-8 minutes or so you either hit a red light or you grind your transmission during a shift. That's what ATB is like. You're having a great time cause the music is banging then suddenly the illusion is destroyed and then you're in sonic nirvana once again. The start-stop was just killing it for me. AVB on the other hand may not be a Ferrari, but is still a fast sports car that carries you through his entire set. A DJ set is more than just a bunch of great tracks strewn together. It is a story and the DJ is responsible for telling that story and changing the direction of that story. Sometimes the DJ leads sometimes he follows the audience. I am glad that a lot of you enjoyed ATB. I wish I could have too. I guess maybe I'm just too senstive to the bad transitions and it messes it up for me.
