What else would you call him?
He may be a clown but hes playing house and the crowd is digging the out of it. Musical credibility/douchebaggery aside, there were hundreds of people in there having the time of their lives. Isn't that a DJ's most basic responsibility?

Well, he is to House what Armin is to Trance. They play yuppie, poppy, commercial versions of it. And quite frankly it's not a great achievement to make people jump up and down like crazy and have a great time when they are already there to worship you to begin with.

as ty as he is, even he can't be tier than offer nissim.

I never said he was particularly technically skilled or that he plays great music, just that hes really good at getting people to come out and dance (ie: his job).
The whole dj worship thing is a really weird phenomenon but thats just how the electronic scene works, and I'm not about to let myself get bent out of shape about it. I'm happy for him that he's built his rep to the point where he can just show up and do his thing and people will have a great time.

Making people dance is not rocket science.

It's just really funny to me to see a guy who's over 40 still playing music that is essentially for kids. It's like Hannah Montana house.

To be fair, Raffi's like, what, 60?
