[pinkrabbit]

not sure how many of you in this place actually listens to trance and so you probably dont know who DJ Tiesto is, the number 1 dj in the world is playin in my town but its a no minors show.........im so pissed off, i even have 3 tickest reserved for me and my buddy and this guy that is 22 that we know, i have till friday to get a fake id ^^. i mean , this guy is ranked ahead of paul oakenfold, and you have all heard his work cuz he did the entire soundtrack to swordfish and i think is ranked number 5th, and another great DJ Timo Mass is ranked 49th. anyone else here besides me listen to trance / rave / house / deep house/ electronica??? or am i standin alone? ^^

Yeah I know Tiesto. I don't lkike DJs though, they call themselves musicians when 90% of the time they only play other people's music.

thats the low class wanna be DJ's, and you dont get to be Number 1 without having some pretty amazing spinning skills. and you could say that for most other kinds of music to me when i hear default and other gay bands it all sounds like the head gay band, nickelback and when i hear backstreet boys, i hear n sync or some other gay boy band.
its all the same trash.

and what do you think of Tiesto btw?

[J.Rai]

A song is a song, written from original material. Playing someone else's composition is just playback, requires no talent (yeah yeah, "mixing is hard", I was a DJ for 3 years and no it isn't). It's totally different.

I'm not saying Tiesto doesn't write his own music, because I don't follow his stuff very closely, so I can't say. However, DJ culture is centred around giving people credit for their TASTE in music, not compositional skill.

If I wanted to go for a drive or something I might pop a Tiesto disc in my stereo, it's fine for progtrance, but I'm more likely to listen to the Crystal Method or Roni Size or better still, The New Deal. Now THEY'RE musicians.

like an actual DJ? you went spinning at clubs with a bunch of ravers on X freakin out wavin glow sticks hardcore?

thats intense , why did u quit?

[Anonymous]

err...DJ's don't just do raves pinkrabbit :wink:

[J.Rai]

I did, yes. This was back around '97, ecstacy wasn't really the drug of choice at the time but that could've just been the scene I was in. A friend who I spun with did Hard House btu I hated it, we did a Tech-Step and Breakbeats set, then when we tried to incorporate live music into it the cadyraves started getting popular, so work was harder to get (but you didn't really want it anyway with those freakin' kids)
