without a doubt ... only saw gareth at EZ and he threw down a good set to open the weekend and his new cd is pretty good. I am sure if you were in NYC you would go check him out at Cielo a week from today. And tiesto is tiesto he sells out stadiums and arenas all over the world.. how is that not talent, he doesnt make all that money for no reason? And i am sure you saw him when he was down in texas in the beginning of last year. Maybe hes not the same guy back in early 2000s but thats a different topic.. Saw him 4 times this year, i mean his set was nothing like NYE at roseland but still had a great time.
BTW .. who would you consider tallent then? |
Ermmm... just because something is popular does not mean its because of talent. Tiesto produces very few of his own tracks, for starters. There is nothing to his music... its just dull and unimaginative. Look at Madonna, she has ripped people off her whole career and is filthy rich and successful. Tiesto makes money because most people never get more than an inch deep into electronic music, never grow or expand their tastes or listen to something interesting for once.
Lets face it, most people get into EDM through people like Tiesto not because he is an amazing dj/producer, but because he makes himself accessible to the masses.
As for Gareth's cd, the annoying stabbing synths and horrible female vocals ruin it. Metropolis was a great track, because it was subtle, progressive, and creative. None of those traits are present on the album.
Who do I like you ask?
DJ's who play real trance/progressive music and have not conformed to playing the exact same sound as everyone else.
Guys like John 00 Fleming, Michael & Levan, Kay-D, Way Out West, Moshic, Airwave, Miika Kuisima, Christopher Lawrence to name a few. |

I agree with you about tiesto but I am still a fan and if he had a gig in NYC i would def attend. And with his tracklists you cant play 40 straight songs that are your own but they have always been like that...
I am still kind of new to the scene so havent been around the block to see many djs. I havent even seen those names come up on the NY thread for gigs but if you have any sets u recommend please send them my way. It seems like what you may seem as talent someone else might have their own opinion.....
And for gareths cd, it definely a different sound but thats a good thing for him... Everybody loves something a little different! Dont get me wrong id rather cut my ears off then listen to the cd version of sanctuary but Sean Tyas (my fav dj/producer) remix is a bomb |

I respect your opinion, and when i first got into trance I thought the same as you.
Recomended Mixes:
John 00 FLeming - Essential Mix 2010
http://www.filestube.com/049a95eec4...eFiles-net.html
Christopher Lawrence - Live in Beunas Aires
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=htt...mp3.zip&h=a74fe
Airwave - Progrez 5 Year Special
http://www.filestube.com/96fyb9Dhjb...ar-Special.html
I recommend you start with airwave, then lawrence, then flemming.
Might open your eyes a bit to what is possible with trance :) |

EDC and Nocturnal Texas brought a lot of good talent. Andrew Parsons has some nice shows going in Austin. Jeremy Word and Jayson Gold have good shows up in Dallas. This year brought a lot of new talent, maybe you just need to get out of Houston =/
...And we will always have the "washed up talent" coming because they make the money and help keep this scene alive for us.
Damn TA has too much negativity...and you guys wonder why it is dead. |

Heh, well Houston is pretty much dead my friend. All they bring in are washed out tallent here, so you cant say they are supporting any kind of respectable scene....
Andrew parsons defintiley brought some good stuff to austin :). Hell, why doesn't anyone in Houston book anjunadeep artists?
I thought EDC and Nocturnal's lineups were pretty awful myself.
People are negative because the scene today is in awful shape, dominated by dutch trance jockey wankers who have not made anything good since 2001, killed by the ego of their own success. |
