PVD/J00F now only dj'ing from laptops

i say use whatever technology u can...

I knew that PVD's been doing this for a while, why not I say

if you can afford it why not. As long as they're not using traktor or any other shite to help them mix :evil:

I reckon they should be using whatever technology available to make their sets better, it seems daft having access to the stuff and not using it just to keep vinyl 'purists' happy. The only danger is that so much of it could be done in advance, on the plane to a gig. When does it crossover from djing live, to just turning up and playing a set you've got saved on your laptop?

Chris Liebing had his laptop and countless other gadgets hooked up when he played on Satuday and he was outstanding. Even with all the gizmo's he still played, technically, one of the best sets I've ever seen. Very talented guy!

Yeah i read that... was a shame... dunno why PVD never left the set up how he took to them Tiesto looked pritty pissed off when it happen'd... hope he's at the next N.E.C!!!

I am sure Tiesto will send you an email if he is

It was Tiesto who they had the fuck ups with, the story is in Mixmag when the two trance titans came together and again Tiesto had the floor wiped with him - apparently when he played Traffic the sound went all distorted as fuck and he went in the huff - Van Dyk was on after him and only used his laptop and had no problems at all during his whole set !

As for using laptops i say all the better, Van Dyk still uses records cos i have seen him use them in Amnesia and Sugarshack - the final scratch uses one anyways cos you just use the pitch and that as normal on a deck with blank record - if it saves hassle then its blatantly a success and instead of lumping loads of bags round just take a lap top in with a big fuck off GB HD !!!

Very credible source like....

I've seen Tiesto a fair few times now and thats the only time anything has ever went a little pear shaped... IMO a lot of PVD fans have jump'd at this oppertuninty to put down Tiesto a bit, like that was wrote in Mixmag about him knocking back a B2B with PVD, bullshit IMO... i don't think PVD would of even offer'd. I'd think PVD would have know'n that Tiesto does'nt use 'Final Scratch' + they both play a different style of Trance... i think PVD would of had to worrie as much about going B2B as much as Tieso would. I agree PVD played the better set on the night but if it was'nt for the technical fault we would have seen a much more enjoyable set from Tiesto.

Tiesto =

blue screen would be funny as fuck mid set.

damn anti vinyl scumbags

Considering it was a review and they compared the two i would say that it was actually !

Sorry its not a post on techno or magic

or one of those annoying window ding noises

paul van dyk was on before tiesto @ nec because tiesto was late flying over from ireland from playing for godskitchen so he swapped sets with scott bond, think it may have been the final scratch fucking up tiesto, and its a bastard it happened but you cant blame paul van dyk, i mean the soundmen and engineers there shud have known about this and had everything in order for tiesto surely? as for the b2b thing apprently it was proposed to both and they both said no because of the contrasting styles of trance.....its like asking dave the drummer to go b2b with fergie its a stupid idea imo! pvd and tiesto are both exceptional talents and great in their own right, tho ill admit im a pvd fan, and as for using lap tops, as long as sets arnt pre recorded, who should care if people use them? there wasnt this much fuss about using cds now was there?

solid as a rock!!
