I was reading the Schulz forum after his latest MOS solo set and (I kid you not) a 22yr old guy wrote 'when he dropped Sky Traffic I cried tears of joy' :rubbish:

I mean seriously! MTFU.

My reply was simply 'Really? You actually cried?' then I got slated by all the other fanboys!

This is why I hate Above & Beyond so much. Their floaty girly gay shite has turned grown men into big girls blouses that cry at songs warbling on about the sky falling down. :pinkman:

That is all... :whistling:

Wankers!! I mean, Ayla moves me when I play it at home, on my iPod, watching Kevin and Perry.

Though I do have a depressive illness. :rolleyes:

In fact I avoid listening to it because of this, even though I do love it.

If I heard it out I'd dance.

Now I dunno if that's good or bad.

My comment wasn't aimed at you in anyway.

It's the fact that this guy was 'crying tears of joy' so there is no real connection to it as there is with your track & even if there was I shouldn't be hounded by the others for stating that his reaction may have been a bit much!

No I know, but that's what it's like. You should see the Take That fans argue.

Anyway I know what your saying, did he ever answer as to whether he actually DID cry?

I actually fully agree with your (rant) post ;) unfortunately there's nowt can be done, as you mentioned Dubstep earlier, sadly all we can do is look on in dismay :(

EDIT: apologies for my prolific use of the word 'actually' today.

To be fair folks, we don't give him enough credit. Look at this beauty he wrote:

Ayla - 'Ayla' a fantastic track but the track has nothing to do with Tiesto!! :wall:

EDIT

Lol, I genuinely can't decide whether you were joking there sir!! Hopefully so - and if so, it was pretty funny :)

Of course I was mate, one of my favourite all-time tunes that! Have a read at some of the comments on the youtube page for a bigger laugh. Despite the fact that the mongs are on the internet while typing, and a simple google search will prove who wrote the tune, some still steadfastly believe it was Tiesto who wrote it, and will argue about it. Mentalists!

firstly, Tom Bailey is absolutely right. This #trancefamily thing is fail. The kids dont acknowledge what came before. Trance means nothing to me anymore, it's true, as you get older you prefer the groove to euphoric breakdowns. Anyway, i stopped playing trance about 3-4 years ago, going way more into house and tech. I've always seen myself as house dj who plays a bit of trance anyway.

I've always kinda agreed with Briggsy. He;s right. These days, tunes are quite weak because everything can be done in one DAW. No hardware or knowledge of how to use it is needed. People simply go on the forums asking "i want to make the bass sound that Porter Robinson or Skrillex use" and you get guys make half arsed tune using those sounds, i mean, look at Deadmau5, when "not exactly" came out, it was fresh, then for the following year or so , you heard endless 8th note ripoffs. Copying basically. Whilst this has always gone on, i think its now more prevalent, seeing as back in the day, copycate tunes probably got turned away at the demo stage in some record execs office.

My take on it is, labels now dont have to take the risk. They get a bunch of .wavs and put them out. It hasnt cost them anything in terms of promotion. No test pressing, acetates, videos or anything. Now record labels idea of promotion is to stick a hyped tune on some trendy blogs. Tunes now have a shelf life of about 2 weeks, whereas the late 90's and early 00's tunes had to be promo'd 4 months in advance to build the hype. You dont get that anymore either.

Another things is, as Briggsy said, everyone now has access to the same tunes. Which i suppose is why people now do re=edits or bootlegs, to try to be different.

When vinyl stopped being the main form factor for dance, i think a large part of it died, the grass roots if you will. I know that sounds old and snobby, but i think its true.

That's why i love it that i can produce as you can play material out that nobody has heard before ie. own remixes and own material :) and majority of my stuff doesn't get signed as it has a 99-2000 feel to it but i don't care that's what i love and will continue to make that :D
