How would you guys categorize Johan's genre of music? would you say he plays strictly Trance or harder Trance or neither or both or something else??
Let me know people!!!
Thanks,

Is this what the majority of people in Holland think of him? As cheese? After all Holland is his home town and if he isn't considered good there then he shouldn't be considered good at all!! |

Not everybody hates him, but the hardcore trance people dont like him
I have seen him once, he sucked ass in terms of mixing and track selection. He played full out cheese the whole night, he even played barthezz
I personally think DJ jean is better than him ;) |

| I like him!...um, yeah. I think he doesn't play just 'cheese' as people are calling it...he actually has cool mixes of both really heavily played songs like the bongo song, and obscure ones like Fiocco - the crowd is moving which came like 2 songs before the other one on a club eau set. He also uses a good speed for dancing... |

I am not really a fan of Gielen the DJ, but he has (together with Svenson) produced many tunes worthy of mention. I guess I liked his style better before (since I'm more into harder stuff today) but I can probably list at least ten tracks that are really good (mostly remixes). Most are a couple of years old though.
That's my opinion.
Oh, and I would define his style as a-bit-clubby-very-happy-&-quite-uplifting-melodic-trance |

| As for the original post...from what I've heard (I haven't heard all his live performances or anything) but in tons of his remixes, I wouldn't call it hard trance...it's way too 'light' sounding for that...beats very bouncy and not very imposing... |

| Gielen definetely plays uplifting trance! |

| k.k.d. |
| I like Gielen... Almost every Airscape tune or mix is very good, and I kinda tripped hard on We know what you did... :p |
