Do you DJ with CDs or vinyl?
I used to be a vinyl freak but, with new CD players, it feels like vinyl with the way you mix and scratch. Plus there’s no rumble and records don’t skip, so they are very stable. The next level is laptop but then you really lose touch as you choose the records on your laptop and they are mixed automatically – so that’s losing the art of mixing. It looks like a DJ is checking his e-mails. |
Mixed automatically? |

In the 9 odd years I've known of Tiesto i don't think he's ever scratched once? :conf:

Laughable! :disbelief :nervous: |

Trance is hugely popular yet is considered ‘uncool’ and much derided. Why is that?
I think trance is really wonderful as people can let themselves go, which you can’t do with cool music because the people are too cool. They don’t smile too much, they are with their own friends and are very arrogant – it’s a different attitude. At Tiësto parties, everyone comes to have a good time and talk to each other. I’m proud of that. If it’s called cheesy or rubbish, that’s fine but I think it’s better to have that instead of people who don’t look or talk to each other, drink champagne and go to the toilets every 20 minutes. They have no connection with the music – they’re just hanging out there because it’s ‘cool’.

I do too, however, there is a fatal irony in his words... in that at least 50% of his concert audience are now there to be 'cool' as well. |

I really have to disagree. There will alays be exceptions but dance music events in general are pretty much always focused on the music. Hardly do you see people dancing in pairs but jumping around by themselves in a way only they are feeling the music. It's a very unique experience for everyone yet at the same time, everyone is enjoying it together. I completely agree with Tiesto on this one.
