Marco V No doubting he's a billliant producer, but how do you rate him as a dj? I've heard him play ok before, and pretty shit tbh. I hated his Bosh CD off mixmag aswell. I was having an argument with someone about him today, that's why I want other opinions. I don't hate him or anything, I just think some of the stuff he plays out isn't very good. Thoughts?
I dont rate him at all. The last few times he's played, hes been dull as dish water. He's made some awesome tunes tho and thats how he makes his sets imo
he's pretty shit like, seen him 4 times i think, loved him at Promises birthday but the 3 times before that he's been utter wank.
i've seen him loads of times and he has played more sets than he has i think he's awesome the last set he done @ promise and what i caught of him @ trance energy were truely amazing
Iv seen him and been blown away, he sounded ultra modern and techy but he was cheesey shite in Amnesia.
bollocks dan you talk an absolute load of cobblers its not about trance fans not wanting change, most trance fans are able to tell the difference between a decent trancer and a shitty generic one.... trance has become stale because producers have accomplished all they can do within trance without it turning out like house and having lots of new ones, i.e. bassline house, electro house, scouse house, funky house, deep house... you get me? The true trance sound will never change and marco v being a bit dink is more to do with peoples own personal opinions, imo i find his "hard techy" style quite boring and hitty missy. his production style is clean but again i find his minimal techy style v bland, like katana, another bland dj imo.
its the tried and tested route, it works and pulls in the punters time and time again, its what sells most of their records, your right it shudnt exaclty be that way but should you really stop supporting something just because its hit a dead end? contrary to what you say theres 2 or 3 trance producers who push the boundaries what i dont want is trance to start doing what house done with the rock-indie-house crossover pap, that would be a very sad day
It's not just about that though. Just because someone doesn't like him, doesn't mean they just love the big trance breakdowns! I like the techy sound aswell, but some of the shite he plays is just gash!
even though im a bit of purist........ i do agree with your point i just dont like marco v i winge about the good old days all the time!!
