i said producers who want to have thejoy of playing their own tracks and testing them out on the crowd also dj. Not every producer feels the need to do so, so other djs pick it up.
Im not going to respond to the Infected Mushroom thing because thats about taste not about dj polls you dumbass and i said i didnt vote for them.
And for what i quoted above, i voted for armin and above and beyond because the sets DO stand out to me because every track is fucking massive and there is no filler lame tracks. Your flow for a dj is different then my own.
And as far as IQ... dont start buddy. I wont even say what im getting a double masters in. Dont feel i need to honestly in a place like this.

LOL...."filler" tracks are just put in place to slow the set for example, doesn't mean its a shit track...it builds more intensity for later tracks...
honestly just like you said, you have different tastes and your entitled to that
just know the difference between what a DJ does and what a producer does

Educated does not equal smart or intelligent, and bringing this up doesn't really make you look any of the latter.

figured someone would try to be a smart ass. But there is no need to even post an iq score on a tranceaddict thread. Just dont be so cocky about beating me.
DJ Mag poll results leaked and fuck yea, astrix and yahel made it once again.

Must be fun living in a world dominated by instant write-offs, preconceptions and sterotypes topped with a lack of reading comprehension and arguing skills.
Well in.
