Never was really. I don't think anyone in their right mind at any point in time thought "I'll make tons of cash making trance". Like no that has never been even a thing. There's a huge difference between dance music today, and 10-15 years ago. Check billboard charts. The only dance tracks that made it in the early 2000s were by people like Daft Punk and some odd ones here and there. Now half of it is pop edm by avicii or SHM etc. just compare 2000 : Green Velvet - Flash 2001 : Modjo - Lady ... 2015 : Axwell & Ingrosso - something new 2016 : Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike featuring Ne-Yo

I thought that. The point is that I see a lot of people saying "commerical music is shit" and it comes from people that are listening to something which is far way from that. I don't want to compare music genres in general, it's 100 people/100 kinds but to me saying "commercial music is shit" just because it's commerical is plain wrong. i.e. I like couple of older Tiesto songs but I also like his "new" production

I didn't said commercial music is shit, i was reffering to Tiesto and the SOUND of his music, how he was back in the days and how he is now, i like most of Tiesto older songs/mixes aswell but i don't like his new abordation.

tbh its true they do it for sake of partying under a tent, sometimes dj's are behind trucks you can't even see them. It's not like clubs dj that sucks and that are on a stage all they want is ppl looking at them a rave dj would know how to build walls of speakers, they got a lot of knowledge and usually mix on vinyls while most "known" dj are using their mac and crappy controllers.

2016-05-12 22:28

Define 'best DJ'. What is a good DJ? What you just said is a load of horse shit. Apart from DVBBS, I dont know any other DJ that uses their mac to mix. besides it's about your own music production, image, looks and entertainment elements during your set anyway. Can you imagine you going all mad on Tomorrowland on this shit? youtube.com/watch?v=rF_P0eiaZLQ Exactly. It's shit and not suitable for raves. Only good for youtube videos PS: Mixing on vinyl or mixing on CDJs, doesn't matter. Nobody cares about that. Is it easier on CDJs, hell yeah. But really would you care if you were on a huge festival?

2016-05-12 22:38

3 replies

Well check youtube, there are loads and loads of DJ's using macs with controllers, and I can also approve that from my personnal experience. I've been to loads of festivals and clubs and often they are using a laptop. To me DJing is about the music and the transitions, not about the image/look/entertainment elements (which are quite bad everytime tbh) About transitions, i've been to loads of legal parties and to loads of rave parties and the transitions were always better in illegal parties. Btw, a standard DJ in a festival can do a 1h30/2h set most of the time, meanwhile in raves you could very well have a 5/6h set. Nobody cares because in the end you hear the same thing, but we're talking about the best DJ's, so the DJ's that have the best skills. And mixing on vinyls is way harder than on a laptop with a controller. Their spirit is also better, they don't do that for fame, they do that because they love it. They take risks doing a illegal party, they got very good engineering skills to build walls like this : i.skyrock.net/8367/77558367/pics/3124931.. That being said, it seems like we both have our own way to see whats a good DJ, so i'd like you to respect my thoughts like i respect yours. What i said isn't "a load of horse shit."

2016-05-12 22:57

2 replies

I can only confirm the part about most top DJs using laptops is horse shit. Like I said, DVBBS can't mix. Armin has a laptop for contact with FoH and sometimes in small clubs some artists have their VJs near the booth. Also not to mention a laptop must be used (and often set up on the booth) for if the artist wants to sync their visuals with the tracks. Just because you see a laptop, it doesn't mean they don't mix. The rest however I do agree, is personal taste. Currently it's that evolved that entertainment elements are very important during a set on mainstream festivals. Think of "Hey Hoo", "clap your hands", "turn on your lights", "sing along" or bunch of fireworks to elevate the general experience. But like you mentioned, we both have different thoughts about it. Imo it's about the complete picture. Own music production, mixing, visuals, SFX, other entertainment elements, track choice and how you present your set towards the public. Whenever I see a DJ looking down on his deck for hours and not even looking up once to communicate/connect with the crowd, I don't see that as a 'skilled' DJ. You need to have contact with the crowd somehow. Otherwise you might as well play a mix cd of some sort

2016-05-12 23:07

1 reply

I didn't say they can't mix if they use a laptop, they still have some talent but it's just easier than with vinyls, and less genuine to me. Hahaha ok I see what you mean, but its just that im more of a raver and we just dance near speakers thats all, everyone is in his world.

Shit, I don't know. Being that the majority of people here can't even tell the difference between a DJ and a producer, I was doubting you had enough brain cells to comprehend that EDM is electronic dance music, so anything that is electronic and is made from dancing is EDM, no matter how terrible the stigma of EDM is atm.
