Actually Armin prepares his set beforehand, he knows what he wants to play and when, not saying there is no 'improvisation' in the set, but it's pretty much pre-planned. |
It's given that a lot of DJs have an idea what tracks they want to play in a set
But Armin is too good technically to not know how to play for the crowd.
I really don't think he got to where he is now because he doesn't know how to read the crowd. A lot of DJs know how to play the popular tunes, but not many DJs know exactly when to play certain tunes like Armin does.
PS: Man, it really bugs me to say good things about Armin :p |

Hmm iuno about that, I read in a recent interview that he usually picks the first couple tracks to play then go on from there... |
hmmmmm...I'm more inclined to agree with 8Wonders. I'm pretty sure Armin pre-programs a lot of the elements in his set.
Pro: you get more complex, interesting mixes, effects, etc. and DJ interaction (since they don't have to have their head buried in the decks).
Cons: you don't have a DJ working the decks hard, you lose some spontaneity, etc.
personally, I more respect the skills involved with working the decks live...but then again, as a club patron, I care about hearing good music, not just witnessing technical wizardry :) |
