| In my opinion, PvD and Tiesto set the bar in their tracklist selections, and mixing skills. |

Many Greetings,

:) I loved it too!!!
And when I listen to sets of around 2000 I think his trackselection is just a little too melodic! No surprises there!
That's why I love PvD :) Whenever you witness one of his sets you become part of this yourney, and it feels as if you're walking over hills, going up-and-down, and through the woods, trying to make your way throught all the broken brenches and fallen leaves etc...and at some point you come to that open area where you see birds and flowers and stuff :) hehehe (wow, i can join the looney tunes :D)
What I'm trying to say is that the tracks he plays are sometimes so different that alltogether they tell a tale which makes you wanna fly :D
Wooooooooo :) |

No way, PvD still has it!
As a lot of people have already said the Rosenmontag set was awesome, with a large variety of 'electronic dance music' but never getting boring.
Plus I think his Autumn production is pure class :D |

| I must agree he is losing his touch a bit! He is stil one of the best DJs in the world no doubts about it! And the best Only Trance DJ. But lets just hold our thoughts until he releases his new Artist CD! This may change a few of your minds. He may be losing his touch but he is still better than Tiesto!:D:D |

i dont think he's ever lost it as a dj, he's always been class and still is... he's just changed like everyone else has. things have to change else they get boring :)
he lost it as a producer at the end of 99 IMO anyway... |

| I guess he i taking a break from the DJing and concentraing on his music production , look at Carl Cox for instance. DJing at a high level is very very tiring travelling round the world every week. plus you have to be on form, look at carl cox round the world in 24 hours wow |

You simply have to evolve to stay around for as long as he`s been. The oldest song I have from PvD is from 94 or even before. To stay around for that long you have to try out new things that not everyone appreciates in the first round but that`s what a pioneer is.
PvD is one of the pioneers in trance who sets Benchmarks for the future not only for today.
Cheers,
Sir. Lunchalot |

i know im going to get slaguhtered here by all the pvd addicts..but its not meant to be an argument..just an observation :rolleyes: |
i would have said exactly the same thing. he's sets of late have been bland and uninspiring - right up to Rosenmortag (spelling ??) but that set blew me away. |

| PvD is my fave dj. I have seen him live around 11 times, mostly thru his 2 yrs as a resident @ TWILO as well as other parts of the U.S. and in Europe and I must say his style has changed quite a bit in that time. His sets from 98, 99 were much more "trancey" and melodic, very synth oriented. If you look at a lot of his sets over the past 2 yrs or so esp the past yr, in contrast, it is obvious that his sets encompass the entire gamut of electronic music. I think he exemplifies what he constantly reiterates--that he is not purely a trance dj, but an electronic music dj. He drops such a variety of tracks, everything from melodic and hard trance to breakbeat,techno, tech-house, tech-trance and prog house. Lately his sets can be swift, fast-moving while at other times they can be deeper, harder yet with all of the PvD energy. I still believe, after seeing a number of longer sets by PvD (6-7+ hours mostly at TWILO) and other shorter sets, that to see his mastery you must see a 4+ hr set where he can experiment and control the crowd on a journey. He has a style all his own and I love it. My 2 cents. |
