Which artist, label or deejay has completely lost the plot and why do you think this has happened

Armin van Buuren: From Basic Instinct to the ASOT radio show.
Anjunabeats: Without formulas, this label would have collapsed.

Two of the biggest offenders right now.

Armin van buuren- just boring and predictable
Paul van Dyk- Same as AVB

Dont know anymore! Lol. Start disliking artists/djs and then they do something that makes me think twice... Tiesto's 'Heros' track for the Olympics this year is brilliant! Cool breaks track, with that old Tiesto energy... Armin's interview with [i:Vibes] totally redemed himself in my books and proved he still has love for what he does...

Solarstone (cant beleive I'm saying this) are producing shit trance with Scott Bond now and djing fast, meaningless, generic trance. What happened to the 'Solarcoaster' stuff I'm used to!? Just my opinion I guess...

M.I.K.E.

The awesome days of Deep Sonar, Silverbath, Plasma and The Legacy, to name a few, have led to the current state of affairs with M.I.K.E., which in my books isn't a very good state at all.

Didn't know he was Active Sight - but I didn't like the Search for Freedom - pretty formulatic.

I'll have to admit PVD has lost it, but i still love his music, his music brings asense of style that i just don't see in other artists.

I feel that Above & Beyond has lost the plot lately with their remixes they seem rather plain and boring recently

seems like you only mention trance guys. maybe its not the artists... the genre is dead

steve murano is going somewhere he shouldnt... i mean for god sake.. scooter remix!

For sure I'd say Above & Beyond.
Far From In Love was excellent. All the early Oceanlab tracks (Clear Blue Water, Sky Falls Down, Beautiful Together) were excellent. But the second A&B track, No One on Earth, was only okay and I didn't like Oceanlab - Satellite at all. I didn't like the production and I hate the vocals.
So they've definately gone down-hill.

to the dipsh1t that sed trance woz dead id say thats about as bad a judgement that ive heard, theres loadsa good trance and ok not much is new but maybe itll pick up again, maybe someone will come out with a totally revolutionary trance tune thatll give the genre a whole new dimension or maybe (with a bit of luck) some crazed mad suicide bomber will park outside ur house 3- head

buckemyster17 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 04, 2004 4:41 am

well i think that judge jules has always bin a pants dj, his radio 1 sets are quite good but da rest of it is just commercial sh1te. also i heard dat when he played at blue in inverness he stayed 4 10 minutes b4 f***ing off which(even tho blue aint xactly another gatecrasher) is just frankly shocking that he shud more or less give his fans the fingaz

Marksu Schulz. Why? IMO all his records sound the same. It was a cool sound the first time you heard him but after awhile it is just boring. I prefer Sasha over this wannbe.

Armin Van Buuren. Why? IMO all his records are cheesy trance. ASOT is an excellent example of shit new trance. This radio show is hurting his image greatly. He either needs to rethink a different show or cancel it. Sold out in 2004.

Tiesto. Why? He cant pick good records anymore. Hes done alot for the EDM scene and that I respect. But as a DJ he sucks. In 2003, he could pick some good uplifting trance, now he picks badly produced trance. Oh he also sold out in late 2003 .
