o'bir's quite good at what he does but his 'window' to dj-ing stardom closed a few years ago and it's unlikely to open again. shame.

I need a hint. it seems he just took the track from Amnesia and worked some knobs.

Bir is an amazing DJ. His tune selection is second to none as is the flow of his sets and imo they are the most important things. When you top it off with the fact his mixing is like a submarine door its a scandal he hasnt got as big as he should have

he's definitely the best 'standard trance' dj i've ever seen. i guess with the music he plays his track selection will never be truly exciting/innovative, but his consistency in creating a solid flow is second to none. i've not once heard a mixing up from him either. really down-to-earth guy too.. it's a shame radio 1 & godskitchen dropped him :(


He's from Nottingham too you know.

I remember the days when he was on TA, fair play to him for getting far like he has. His track selection was good at the beginning as he played a lot of TA producers tracks and got bigtime exposure for Haak, Nickson etc. Nowadays though, I feel his track selection is getting a bit generic like all the big DJs.

Edit: Anyone have a link to that vid where he dropped the break of Xpander right on the dot of 12 midnight at a NYE party???

please go listen to ASOT.

Anyway I'm not too familiar with his dj'ing abilities but he's definitely a decent producer. Anyone would like to upload a set?
