I'm becoming less motivated to care about what Tiesto is up to as well. Why?
Quite simply the DJ i was supporting c.2001-2 playing 6hr solo sets in clubs with a broad range of prog- tech- uplifting- trance has become obsessed with marketing and big room stadium gigs.
Thats partly the demand that lets him get away with it. But he could also wake up tomorrow and decide to go back to doing intimate venues again.
As PatmcGroin wrote on first page. 5 times a year he really kicks ass. The rest of the time is on auto-pilot playing tracklists that half resemble a hit parade, the other half a slap dash run through of recent "trancers" and a few "alternative tracks".
Club Life at face value is the same as the rest, but at least it has a second hour of interesting club music... the fact they choose to only podcast hour 1 (the uplifting vocal trance pap) proves the direction the Tiesto bandwagon is going in... and its one i'd rather jump off than head into some third-world-tour.
Trance Energy may have been an excellent showcase... but how can he translate that style to an 8 hour concert event? The truth is the big shows never work, they're just money spinners and hype mongers. If he would choose to balance his touring between festivals (playing trance energy/museumplein type sets) and some intimate venues (playing his wider style) then i would love it.
The issue is the rather large middle ground. Where for every 1 or 2 festival sets a year, and the 2-3 private afterparties, there are 125 tour events where Traffic and Adagio are belted out for the 200th time. Or the party has to fall under some kind of "brand".. EOL or ISOS, is there even a difference. Gone are the days where he's just turning up and playing music. Its all "set patterns" and "pyrotechnically correct" setlists... blabla.
Its not like he is not aware of it either. Did he dare play Adagio in holland last week?? No. So why do it everywhere else in the world then?? Grr its frustrating. And so many "older" fans who were there in the really good period 2001-2 have left him because of it. |

Yeah, like when he plays a song, and then he plays another song right after it, and then when he jumps up and down while the pre-recorded song is playing...yeah, that's awesome. No one else can do that.
Metaphorically speaking, you are idolizing someone for their ing air guitar skills. Grow a ing brain. |
