wow that's a tough selection to choose from. I'd choose Beats Antique and Ott though but only because I've never seen Beats Antique live. Derrick Carter always plays good sets though so you can't go wrong with him.
 
Dammit, my onboard sound just died because I tried to hookup the frontal audio on my case. So I can't check out the "Rate the track above you thread". Well at least my new Asus Xonar sound card is being delivered today. =D
 
anyone have a good solution for a broken thumb drive? its just the casing, but im afraid to glue it cause i dont know if ill mess up the electronics inside, which, for now, are working fine
 
BUMPING this sorta... also.... I will know by 5 pm for sure or not but i should be on the fm radio in Wilmington, NC promoting my beach electronic music festival.. .(really was a party but has gotten so large i call it a fest now) I should be on tomorrow at 10:15-10:30 eastern standard time and there will be a stream available if you guys want to support me and tune in. We will be having a short discussion about the event, electronic music, and the electronic dance music scene in my area and how events like I am throwing ... are really starting to get people back into the scene as well as draw younger new people into it... afterwards a short electro micromix may go down. I will be with 1-3 other djs that will be playing at the party but I will primarily be speaking and I am the head of the production company ... so.. wish me luck... ill update later today guys
 
I just went Global Gathering Ukraine last night. I wish I had some rolls, but it still a very enjoyable event. DJ hype played some mad tunes and Dubfire was also pretty sick.

What ticked me off the most was the headliner: Armin Van Buuren. Now don't get me wrong, I really don't mind the anthem vocal trance too much, it's not the best music out there, but I think it has its place. But the way he was acting and the media being played on the screens on stage was awful. They had short videos portraying Armin sitting in various "cool" poses and another video portraying Armin as a godlike figure. He would also get up on the speakers and spread his hands to signal to everyone to copy his motion.

It's kind of ironic that his show is called "A State of Trance" because this was pretty damn far from a state of trance. Trance music is about zoning out into a trance not worshiping the DJ like he is some rock star or something.

What I really like about electronic music is how it naturally focuses solely on the music and not on what the artist is doing on stage. Armin's performance totally messed that up. It's hard to enter a state of trance when you have the whole crowd waving their hands for the DJ for half the damn show.

Now on the Drum & Bass arena, it was a whole different story. When the drops came, the whole crowd would go nuts and start dancing like crazy. None of the "I want your baby, Armin!!!!"

It's alright, nothing too innovative. We have some decent house producers, a little bit of Drum & Bass and a few psytrance producers. I'd say the best Ukrainian artists work in genre's other than EDM.

Here is a video of "DJ Beauty" she is probably one of the bigger DJ's in Ukraine. Her tracklists are usually pretty sick, although she is more famous for her tits than her mixing skills (which aren't bad) lol.
