Paul Van Dyk & Sander Kleinenberg @ Sensation White 2004

This is just an insanely amazing DJ set from PVD and SK. Don't know about the withering dancers though.

Wow! He can really twists some nobs and put a record on a turntable! Must have taken him minutes to learn that! And the way he makes it sound exactly like everything else out there, amazing.

Those losers spending years and years to learn a musical instrument have nothing on this guy! DJ's have so much talent they don't have to learn an instrument or have any musical theory knowledge at all. As long as that BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM back beat keeps going, they could fart into a microphone and the Ecstasy drunk crowd would think it's genius!

If you think doing this is easy, you've never done it. If DJ'ed at 3 pseudo-raves I organized (I say "pseudo" because we blocked out all the drugs and such) and it aint easy to get people going. Once you have them, they-re easy to read and putty in your hands, hehe, but getting them going is a challenge. Plus, the second song was written and produced by Van Dyk. How many hits have you produced? lol. It aint as easy to make this stuff as you'd think.

Anyway, I've taken a number of very skeptical people to raves and they all loved it. They start out saying "it's just boom boom boom all night" then it's "this is kinda cool" then its "this club freakin rocks" then it's "where to next weekend?" Trance is a music style based on long, long, long builds and explosive, emotionally driving climaxes ... followed by smooth, groovy cooldowns and lead-ins to the next drive. The "Knob-turning" is an effort by the DJ to make that build and that climax as effective as possible. It's very subtle, but in trance, quality is subtle. Its music for patient listeners, not pop-radio snobs. Its ideal music for hours of dancing and plain losing yourself. No where can you dance with as much enjoyment and as little self-consciousness as at a rave. and honestly E-tards, though tragic, are entertaining and excessively nice as opposed to drunks at "normal" clubs.
This makes me want to get out my decks again. Sounds like fun. ::plans weekend:: ::warns neighborhood::

Anyway, lol @ Paul's shameless self promotion flashing the Vandit label to the camera. hehe
I gotta admit though, the most impressive show I ever saw was Bad Boy Bill, and I don't even really like House. He showed up 15 minutes late, took off his coat, threw 2 records down and immediately tore the crap out of that place for 3 hours. I've never seen anything like it. As much as I dislike his style, he's the most skilled DJ I've ever met. Unbelievably skilled on the decks.

Great, so he builds up and has "skill" at the decks...it still sounds all the same. Just so long as there is that BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM going it's "music". I guess it's just background noise for people dancing. I mean, you wouldn't go sit in an audience and see a DJ in "concert". Besides, who knows what he's doing. Probably has a MacBook sitting up there where he hits a button and all the "music" comes streaming out...then he runs around like he's doing something. Who would know? Who could tell the difference? The end result would be the same.

Does he also do "The Chicken Dance" and "The Hokey Pokey"?
