so you know this for a fact? are you aware that you are saying that the most people into electronica are being brainwashed, and you are aware that your statement sounds completely elitist, right? e. and WHO decides if Tiesto is quality or not? certainly the listener, or not?

when everyone plays tiesto at a party, you obviously made the wrong choise of party (unless you like Tiesto of course)... not an argument. I know more people that love Tiesto than people that love OOOD... and they Genuinly go to all parties he plays on...

Utter crap. Then we should ban every dj for posting their top5 of the year or whatever. TASTE TASTE TASTE, I can not mention it more, its about TASTE... and THIS little Chart/Top5/Whatever, is a SUMMARY of what the people here like the most. There will be a FULL chart of every single release voted on etc etc, noone will be forgotten, noone will get deleted... TASTE people... Can you say it?!

Very cool thread, I will post some screenshots as well later on

I think it all depends on the track of course. and of course, it depends on the sample used in the track. the sample that you describe supergroover, sounds very infantil to me. however the samples in oood's marihuana track are also drug referenced, but made with humor (imo) and is not as infantil as this one you describe.

but then its not a hippy life-style anymore

I made a topic some time ago, talking about new-age-hippies. people that look like hippies, but live like yuppies... seems there are many of them in "our" scene.

Since you seem to be into the same stuff like me, I would like to know what this is!

because it IS a top5 of what the users of THIS forum liked of 2006 Whats the big deal anyways?

I am too listening to this very recording I like it so far

lol

even more of a reason to get gigs there, i could earn a shitload of money! *runs to create that account before dj pr0fane does*

www.soundonsound.com good tutorials

Tha album to that Broadcast is ISDN, and me ze likes!

A lot of what you hear, is made up as they go though... (ME thinks), cause its like that to me. Inspiration for me doesnt begin with a sound in my head, it begins with a feeling of doing music.. an urge that is way harder to please than other things

damn, work has blocked deviantart

I see a chance in becoming a famous dj....*signs up for 2nd life*

Hmmm, I think anyone can learn how to produce, if just tought by the right people. I however dont think that you can teach anyone to make a killer track writer. Why you ask yourself? Well, techniques are easy to learn, its like math or anything else, you just need a brain to memorize the stuff (of course this is my opinion only, i know others totally disagree with me here! ). I mean, there are laws in producing, and people follow these laws very acurately, however, its the ones that go beyond those laws, and experiment with the sound, that often make that so called killargh! Another factor is Simplicity, the one that makes something very complicated/melodic/driving with just a few simple sounds. (See Plastikman). So yeah, talent and also the ability to learn are factors. The BIG question though is, how do you find out that you are talented?! How do you bring out the talent in a person... we can never know for sure. I mean, Radi migth do a track today that to us sounds like crap, but in 2 years maybe that will be the new style of PSY (Im not joking here!). Does that then make him talented?! WHO decides who is talented? Nemo

No, we use monitor speakers to ensure we dont damage your ears

why do you have to say fucking? it destroys the charm of what you are writing... Actually I dont know any fucking dub tracks that are as spychefunkish like this... Or yeah I do, but I forgot the names right now

Where is my Promo?! GRRR!

I wouldnt mind, if it will be as good as, or better than the previous ones. hopefully not like the last, but I would still get it

ahhh, sounds interesting!! I like to listen to Pete Namlook (Any actually), same there, floating, pulsing, breathing....

Yes, and that means we are back to square one, which means: DO YOUR DAMN TOP5!

-1 -1 +2 I totally and fully agree with you Moni. Very well written!
