As far as deep house goes, yeah what people call deep house these days is totally ing different than what I know.
for instance this is what I would call deep house

Of all the new stuff out there called deep house, this one actually is, down to the diva vocal and super gay lyrics.
A house classic:
Been going through old music today... ah, memories...
edit: or how about this:

if the line-up stays something like this i think i might go one year down the road
plus youre in mexico...relaxing vacation...like party all night wake up by the pool in your own villa with coke sluts passed out, take a trip to the ruins, charter a boat to do some fishing, you know all that type of vacation
oh yea, and then party like a rockstar with richie and crew
cash me in right now...that's a COMPLETE EXPERIENCE FOR ME - just need to make sure the crew in tow isn't full of any drama creation, need real G's on a trip like that...peeps that know how to get their done if they lost in a rain forest on the way back from some brothel and ain't afraid to pull a heater out if you're ran up on
it's the region where you can do the you want to do and hold yours if you need to, no whiney bitches in my villa

I'll be at BPM this year, that's for sure! Tried going last year after seeing this line-up & events..well, I was more about the other events rather than the festival bc that itself is just mediocre at its best. Unfortunately, that didn't fall through bc I slept on airfare which jumped from $400 to $1000 in a week. Of course, not only the events had me drawn but the destination- Playa del Carmen. Call it a "tourist trap" all you want but aren't the best places in the world like that for a reason? If I had a choice to die anywhere in the world, it would be San Andres, Colombia. And that place is a TREMENDOUS tourist trap but shiiiiet idgaf- btw, there's no music scene out there just to give you an idea of the point I'm trying to make.
Anyways, I believe it's more of the location which draws such a mass of attention to PDC. Srsly, beautiful clear blue water beaches, palm trees (I'm a sucker for these...anywhere present, I feel like in heaven), great climate/ambiance, surrounded by beautiful people (not just physically but personally), and the fact that it's tied to ancient history- Mayan ruins, caves and, my fav, cenotes (google that for your own pleasure)- only minutes away, makes this place a perfect getaway, IMO. That's how I like to plan for my festival experiences abroad, by making sure I explore not just the music but the location in which it inhabits (I give myself a few extra days to do this when traveling). Of course, if the festival sucked, I wouldn't be interested in the first place. This approach between destination/music is balanced from time to time. But, overall, it all ties together to create something special, an experience to never forget.
Personally, I'm content with the line-up. It's not 'omg, just this line-up will do' to fly out there (DEMF & ADE has had that affect thus so far) but it holds names, perfect for the setting, that I'd care to see, such as: carlo lio, cedric, lazarus, sneak, droog, gaiser, heidi, jamie jones, burridge, carola, nina & hawtin just to name a few. And this is just the festival line-up, day/night events are yet to be announced. I'm really bummed that Hernan & Paco aren't on that line-up but pray that they'll be else where on the island during the period.
For me, this one is more about the destination filled with activities- can't wait to hit up those cenotes! Throw all this into a caldron with a zest of underground flavor and I'll start making room to add it to the books.
This trip can be done in 10-15 days. Whereas Kazantip, you would need at LEAST 2 weeks, so I figure. This, I have in mind to do the day I plan to invade Portugal but not for that long. Perhaps a week or so but, unfortunately, I don't think that's anywhere in the nearby future. Everything has it's pros/cons but I believe there's a LOT more to do in PDC than Kazantip, other than party, which holds more leverage.

That was the 2012 lineup I posted btw. The lineup for "this" year, 2013, hasn't come out yet. I have never went, but a few of my friends have, and say the coolest part is that a lot of djs make it their personal vacation. So you'll see them just chillin on the beach, at other parties or chillin on someones roof at afters. I hear the vibe is great as well.
But yea, it looks beautiful. Some of these Villas look amazing. I would be ok with this back yard :D

correction: that's the year (2011) which I than became familiarized with the event at first hand. Later that years, I began researching about it and the lineup which you posted was the year I was supposed to attend- I knew something didn't make sense bc I remember flipping out when I saw Nina on the lineup and I was all about her ATM :haha:.
But bc of the jump in airfare, I just couldn't make it anymore and was completely bummed out. Sucks bc I remember clearly seeing airfare, from like Oct/Nov, around 400+...now, mid July, I'm seeing flights starting at 500+
Werd, waking up to that sight would be priceless.

Yeah I think they'll go down a bit in the next couple months. Just gotta wait it out. They hit 430ish for a few days then went up. Just gotta wait for more flights to come out...

I don't hate him. I actually used to like him because he was original in the beginning (ie his first EP). I just see him as a one-trick pony and his trick just got old very quickly to me. Whenever I hear a dj play a Maceo Plex track, to me that's a dj that didn't do his homework and downloaded what beatport and RA told him/her to.
Even his Maetrik stuff sounds like Maceo Plex now. I'm officially bored with him and all of his aliases. And I used to ing LOVE Maetrik.

Word. I think ppl just get lost on the way to the "boring k music" thread and decide to just pile it on over here. Wasn't this the techno thread? Why must we be subjected to this music? And where the is Taurus? He should be defending his thread, wtf.
That is banging yo! I dig.

Anybody been feeling Markus Suckut lately as much as I have?
