They might be alright for 16 year old kids who have just graduated up from Lasgo, but not for anyone with at least partially developed taste. |
It's so f*cking good to see a DJ / Producer who isn't in denial and doesn't have his head in the sand. Much respect GTR

f*cking sweet! that's what trance needs, not the same old bull formulas, the scene needs imagination and innovation, it needs to look at other genres for inspiration (like other genres have looked to trance in the past for ideas) rather than making another 2006 remix
| quote: | | Clubs should really work out if a producer’s any good or not before booking them as a DJ, but sadly most trance clubs just book flavour of the month producers on name alone without even checking out a set of theirs. That means you get loads of producers who turn up at a club, play a pre-planned set of all their big hits plus a few tracks done by mates of theirs, all mixed with zero technical aplomb, and they end up giving a bad name to all the other producers who know what they’re doing behind the decks.” |
very important point. nothing is worse than a DJ who is touring the world because he is a famous producer, i'm so sick of seeing these producers playing boring as bat sets, anthem after anthem with no concept of set progression and set structure and the other techniques that turn a set into a great set (key mixing? :p )
Solarstone, and MIKE, are three f*cking good DJs i've seen who've become famous because of their productions but also worked very hard at developing their DJ skills. There are others but they are few and far between the producers come DJs that have diluted the scene
haven't heard a set from GTR since his tastey April 2004 promo, will have to downlaod some from him to find out what his current sound is like :) |

i opened this thread to tell tathi he was a cockhead, but theyre all pretty valid points. just a few comments;
95% of all music is . if trance looks to house for inspiration thats cool, as long as it doesnt end up sounding like house coz that 95% figure will shoot up to 100% :p and, i hate to tell you elitists but some of us enjoy a good set full of anthemic tunes (tho not necessarily anthems).
oh, and key mixing is yummy :) |
