Uk, 21, I don't listen to stuff that is particularly hard. I DJ pretty much anything from rock to hip-hop to house to breaks to the more melodic end of DnB from anywhere from the 50s onwards.Khazul wrote:Im just curious - all you tiesto haters - where are you from, and roughly what ages?
Maybe its something that just still appeals to use europeans who are probably in our 30s now and did the Ibiza thing alot 5-10 years ago?
Your right though - the music is mellow etc by todays standards - TBH I tend to think of it as allmost chill out - its actually good music to stick on in the car too/from work and yes - its very stuck in that 1997-2002 ibiza era.
Its not something I would normally choose to for a clubbing night (electro house tends to be my thing for that) but his shows are good and he knows how to pace a long (6hr+) set. I did enjoy his london gig earlier this year.
I dont think he would be a good club DJ anymore though. Who knows though - that last time I ever saw him in a club was a long time ago now.
Funny enough I can see the tiesto/pvd/ivd kind of music enduring in the way 80s crap does just because it represents a place and time for many people who lives have since got bogged down in work/mortgages/families etc. The world has moved on - tiesto hasnt - and maybe thats his appeal to many?
You need to have a word.
