It's 2008 man, and imo, he hasn't done anything worthy of mentioning since the Bunkka album (I can overlook the album's obvious attempt to go more mainstream). So you caught him at a good time for sure. As soon as he abandoned his Psy Trance roots, he's become just another generic Trance DJ. If I knew he was going to play like he used to, I'd be right up front there with you. But he's just going to play whatever Armin has in his crate right now, and throw in a Southern Sun remix for the oldschool fans, and call it a day. No effort at all anymore. |
i guess when your rolling around with millions of dollars and you were already #1dj then I guess u don't have to put in any effort. I really enjoy his perfecfto on tour show, IMO he still plays like he used to. I bet u any money armin will get lazy and lay low ..as well as tiesto..once your #1 dj its like your in retirement and theres no pressure or drive to become the best. I'd like to mention paul van dyk is still #1 in my books and he is not settling down any time soon.
speaking of #1dj's i believe ferry will be next ..maybe markus schulz and sander van doorn following ferry. |

I think Ferry has already had his days of fame. Still popular but wont hit that "#1" status. i can see SVD being there with all the hype around him. But whatever its all a popularity contest. |

I still don't know any other DJ who gets away with more trainwrecks than Oakey.
Even Tiesto relearned how to beat match |

lol what? Who forces you to go see them anyways? If there is demand, and the DJ is booked, what's the problem? Ok, yeah more variety would be great, but IMO Toronto has had an immense variety of DJs make their way through in 2006, 2007, and lets hope 2008 will not be any different. So, if one very popular DJ is here more often than others, and you are clearly not a fan, save youself some money, stay at home. Or go check out another venue. There is loads of stuff happening practically every weekend. |
I hope you were kidding, but sounds like you weren't. I would strongly disagree and say the DJs coming to Toronto over the past 2 years have been FAR FROM an "immense variety". If by "immense variety" you mean mainstream EDM genres then I guess you're right. |

I would say there has definately been a greater variety of DJs over the last year coming to Toronto.....that being said.......places like Guvernment and TiL bring the same recycled international DJs year in and year out....now that may just be because of contracts with INK but I don't know.....I think places like Circa, MOD Club and Footwork have helped diversify the DJs and genres that come to Toronto. |

I will agree that there has been a greater variety of DJs coming to Toronto than years past, but it's still FAR FROM an "immense variety". Places like Germany, Switzerland, Holland, and Japan ... THEY see an *immense variety* of DJs. Even Montreal sees a greater variety of DJs come in than Toronto.
Clubs like Circa have improved the variety a bit compared to 2 or 3 years ago, but even Circa seems to be bringing some of the same names, or names that have been in Toronto many times already. |

Yes, for the most part there have been many many mainstream DJs. And by 'mainstream' I mean mostly DJs that are fairly well known and have large followings around the world. There are quite a few that spin much more specified genres that have not set foot in Toronto. There are quite a few down in South America that I would LOVE to see here, but alas no luck. However, it would be incorrect, IMO, to say that the scene in Toronto has not had any variety. Parties, GOOD parties, are there, with plenty of genres represented. Trance and House being as popular as they are, can you really be surprised that most of the DJs comming through TO represent these genres? Does that mean we have a dry scene? No. Plus with a fairly limited scope of the scene, maily centered in Toronto and Montreal, and a fairly small population (related to US and most countries in the rest of the world) I'd say we've had it pretty good. |

Toronto is the biggest city in Canada, so we're not that small. Even among mainstream genres like trance, there are still some BIG mainstream names that have never performed in Toronto. DJs like Alex Morph or Stoneface & Terminal for example are big names in the trance scene, yet they've never been to Toronto. Mainstream names of a mainstream genre (trance), and yet no Toronto performances.
Obviously Toronto has had *some* variety, like I said earlier. Toronto though has not had "immense variety" that you mentioned. |
