DJ mag no. 1 DJ....

DJ mag no. 1 DJ....

Judging by the Matt Hardwick board, its looks as if Mr Buuren has won the number 1 DJ spot this year
Good on him i say, love him!

gutted hes poo

actually i really cudn't give a shit lol but he's still cack.

He's not man, always a good night be had when Armins playing.
Radio shows alone are class!!

Aye it was Van Burren.

I never forgive him for killing the atmosphere at NEC 2003, he was so boring lol

Has he ever won it?

PVD's been shambolic this year and for a while so deffo doesnt deserve it and as far as others go i cant think of anyone that stands out - Tiesto's just same old same old as well.

Saying that i am only naming Trance DJ's there probably cos i dont really follow any other genre as strongly.

Who???

Shouldnt it be someone who has a mint record collection, can play more than one sound all night, can read a dancefloor and actually makes more than a few trance lovers dance?

Dont be fooled Rossy mate, I shared the exact same veiws until seeing him @ Armarda, the guy is absolutly banging.

Armin ended on the Coldware remix of communication having the crowd absolutly in bits. On steps Schultz to which i thought: "here we go,an hour & a half of send me to sleep"


...2 track in SVD's remix of Direct Dizco, it only got harder from then on LOL.

I can see where your coming from tho, his radio sets are proggy, but live it's as if he's a different DJ:spangled:

ive been impressed once by armin in over 6 year no matter how bad van dyk is he still better than mr van boring

he just doensnt have in his ability to change aset like tiesto or van dyk they have that charisma.

just take van dyk album been slated did anyone actually listen to armin shivers album

errr

I totally agree, im very unbiased these days because trance means nothing to me unless its psy, but pvd pisses all over armin.

Ableton has killed PVD, for other DJ's, I.e. Hawtin, Sahsa etc... these use it how it should be, as a tool to enable them to do so much more bringing something new to each set. All it's done for Van Dyk is gave him the ability to play tracks where ever he wants, regardless of BMP or tempo, in turn creating ropey sets that are like a roller coaster of a ride in regards to building like he used to do untouchably a few years back.

For me Van Dyk is a bit lost these days in reagrds to music genre, there was a time he could do a mix packed with every track totally unknown to me & all absolute bangers! now, it's a bit of house, electro, trance, old classics?
He can blow me away like he did at Crasher a few months ago, but dissapoint me 2 summer seasons in a row? you never got that years ago.

I was just listening to his essential mix from the Casino Berlin in 2000 this afternoon & cant help but think - WHAT WENT WRONG

Yeah but imo the calibre of trance itself has dramatically dropped since then, you can't play sets as good without the tracks being available, it's all too samey nowadays.

Nar, I disagree.
Trance has never been so good, production quality & so frequently released since around 00-02. Granted styles may have changed but theres a shit load of quality stuff out there.

Look at it this way, Van Dyk must get sent just about EVERYTHING from just about every producer on the planet, he uses 2 laptops most probably packed with most saught after tracks you could want & still manages to dissapoint, it shouldnt happen. When years ago would he ever think of releasing some of the tracks he recently has man, Justin Timberlake.....?

The past 3 years iv'e never been dissapointed with any of the following trance DJ's: Halliwell, O'Callaghan, O'Bir, Tyas, Askew, Armin, ....... theres the goods out there & availible, it's weather you choose to play them really?
