Wow, just by looking at what he played, that is probably one of the most uninspired sets I've read about so far. He wasn't catering to the Brits, he was catering to the Americans by slap-sticking the most recent popular trance songs of the past few years. It's a problem most people talk about; the big name European DJ's always seem to "dumb down" their sets when they come over to the United States. Their sets in Europe are so much more original and representative of their actual sound, or so they say. I guess this is a testament to how unopen Americans are about electronic dance music. Either that, or Tiesto is one hell of a lazy dj.
Tktran: Wasn't Sasha touring in Australia recently? Or is he touring there now?
Saw Tiesto on Friday night. Excellent set of uplifting and melodic stuff. I had seen him in Ibiza where he went more progressive to cater to the Brits I guess, but this is the Tiesto that I wanted to see. Highlights for me included the Tiesto remix of Southern Sun, his own Lethal Industry, the Gabriel and Dresden remix of Way Out West's mindcircus, and a personal old favorite of mine, Energy 52's Cafe Del Mar. |
