Personally i couldn't care less if he was using fisher price toy decks to mix, so long as the result sounded good and i liked what i heard.
|
LMAO... If he did that, then I would respect him even more. =D |

Why do you say that, I am not for one minute saying he is the best DJ in the world technically. Sure there are people that do scratching and cutting and all that DMX stuff that PvD can't do, but i'm not into that so for me, the statement I made was true.
And my name isn't Richard, I was christened Ricky :p |

Perhaps. As Mikey Mike G pointed out, James Holden had produced a remix of Britney Spears' "Breathe on Me" a couple of years ago, and it was actually quite a well produced remix. Although I'm not familiar with his reasoning, I'm familiar enough with his production style and background to assume it's one of those 'ironic remixes' you're talking about.
Besides, PvD and Holden are not the only two major acts who have applied their touches to Spears- Leama & Moor also gave her the remix treatment, in addition to one of Avril Lavigne's tracks, and I would hardly accuse that amazing duo of attempting to sell out (Leama said their Avril Lavigne remix is one of the highlights of his entire production career).
As for PvD in general, I've always been rather indifferent to him. He's always been at least passable to me in terms of a DJ, though I rarely find myself fond of anything he produces- this remix of Britney Spears will change very little of my personal viewpoint on him. |

Titbalt: why would it matter who he remixes, all that should matter is what comes out of the speakers. if it's good, then it's good.. if it's not, well then it's not! |
I've never been able to understand your near-constant bile without the assumption of a behavioral disorder. |

He's a great DJ, it's just that his track selection has now diminished, like most DJ's he discovered the new flavour of electronic, that being minimal/tech? He needs to go back to his musical roots and to make himself aware of what made him and his music so popular.
He was great back when he only did Soundgarden and guest DJ'd on GDJB and ASOT. |

| I must say that although I agree that I do not approve the direction he has gone, even though I am not into trance as much as I use to be, i still go to see him b/c he is one of the few djs' that whenever I go see, always delivers. |

It is always the same, couldn't simply enjoy the music, always have to criticize everything; What is the problem with this remix? If the remix is bad, it's bad, what is the ing problem? PvD is a great Dj and "In Between isn't so bad...It is curious as although you like EDM, always speak pure about this... |
Is English your second language? It's ing atrocious - not quite as atrocious as PvD's new album though. |

Abelton doesnt 'mix it for you' - you still have to tell it what to do. By excellent mixing, I didn't mean he is good at getting beats in time - thats the only part that Abelton does for you. The exciting thing that PVD does is layer tunes over the top of eachother, giving them a different feel - again if you go back to the example of the Global set, where he plays "need's to feel" over the top of something else, and it just sounds way more energetic. Doing things like that on the fly impresses me more than tight beatmixing, which anyone can learn to do in a couple of years. |
+1
I love the way he works that Ableton.
Saw him a few weeks ago for 6 hours and it was absolutely great. He did play that Britney track and the only thing that was good about it was that loud ass kick @ Roseland.
It's not a track ppl should d/l, buy, or even play [unless you are paul]. |
