So a little backstory as to how I found this mix :lol:... I was actually streaming ISOS 3 on soundcloud while on the treadmill the other night, which I stand behind as a fairly engaging mix... but during my search found the essential mix... When Tiesto explained he was going to play tunes that he would listen to outside of what he's known for "uplifting trance" but rather deep house and techno, I gave it a chance. And guess what? It was pretty damn good. enjoy, troll, whatever :lol:

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Tiesto ..... Deep House ......... :roll:

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

His point was - just because over the years he's gotten paid to play his typical "uplifting trance," doesn't mean that's what he enjoys when he's just hanging out or driving or whatever... Clearly he has pretty good taste in music, as some of his older stuff is rather good.

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Maybe He found a new way to keep making money with all the deep house tracks around there.

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

I dunno if he needs any more money it's an entertaining mix though

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Tiesto is just another bandwagon jumper... i remember the funny story how his management has offered a booking of him to a local promoter here 6 or 7 years ago..And when the promoter turned down the offer with the explanation ''we don't book trance artists..only techno'' the answer from Tiesto's staff was ''Well he plays a lot of techno in his sets recently'' :lol:

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

You would be hard pushed to find a DJ that isn't a bandwagon jumper of some sort, including Digweed, Tenaglia, Oakenfold etc

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

i'm going to decline out of principal!

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

^Lol! I wouldn't put Digweed and Tiesto in the same sentence.

Chunky, is that you?

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

He seemed like a good dude when I met him in Orange County at the Area 2 Tour (with digweed) back in like 2003. I haven't really paid any attention to his new stuff since probably ISOS 3, but I'm open to him putting out something good to listen to.

As far as "bandwagon jumping" or evolving sounds as I would probably put it, thats a pretty common characteristic of every artist is it not? Sometimes changing = failure and sometimes changing = brilliance, either way there's no way to really know what's going through the minds of these dj's as they stay with 1 particular sub-genre of music... for all we know they are bored out of their minds, but know how to weave together a set or mix that still sounds amazing. It's not like we are discussing politics, but even then, if someone feels differently about something then why not have the freedom to change ones mind and perception?

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

ISOS 3 is still on my ipod, the only Tiesto mix on there lol... But this essential mix still sounds too mainstream for me....

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

All I was saying is that it was a good mix for doing cardio - to the extent that it wasn't boring. Mainstream can also mean catchy background noise, which is what I am looking for whilst running :lol:

Year 2002 everyone starts beating off about breaks. John Digweed quoted in Mixmag "a third of my sets are breaks"

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

He's a bandwagon jumper like the others. But you can't put Digweed and Tiesto in the same category.

Who ho actually thinks this story is actually plausible? I think it takes a dive at management offered a booking and never recovered.

Electro, minimal, breaks, tribal etc

That's a coincidence, John just happened to be playing that style when it was this years thing.

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Not sure why I gave this one a listen...but I did. And it was actually really good stuff. Definitely not the typical Tiesto tunes. Thanks for sharing floridaorange

“We’re Full Thanks” Deep House Tells Tiësto

The deep house genre has today come out and told Dutch trance and EDM superstar Tiësto that there’s no room for him to work in the genre claiming “we’re full thanks”.

“There’s already too many deep house DJs, most of whom don’t even really play deep house,” explained deep house spokesperson Huxley. “For a trance and EDM DJ to start playing deep house on a whim to seem relevant to the underground would just ruin the genre so for that reason we can’t let him in.”

“We need proper deep house DJs who’ve been committed to the genre for years and not just in the last 18 months since it’s become dominant,” he continued. “This genre ain’t big enough for the both of us.”

Deep house itself made a statement that it had already let in far too many DJs and it was currently at capacity but it’d put Tiësto’s request on file and get back to him if there are any openings.

“We’re actually just full at the minute, if anyone else jumps onto the deep house bandwagon it’s likely to break,” claimed deep house. “We’re already seeing a divide in what Beatport has popularised as deep house and what purists are considering is actual deep house. If we let Tiësto in then we’ll probably see full scale sectarian war.”

Tiësto reportedly was disappointed with the “no-Tiësto stance” imploring deep house to let it in as they had already let Tiësto Funke in to which deep house responded “no-Tiësto’s” are allowed in.

A lot of people are mystified by Tiësto’s attempts to ingratiate himself into the underground deep house scene claiming there’s “not that much money in deep house compared to cheesy trance or EDM”.

“If he really wants to start playing deep house then maybe he should play it out live at his sold out expensive shows rather than hidden away on satellite radio,” concluded deep house.

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Deep House is a genre, genres can't talk, only narcissistic cunts who think they are part of something.

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Maybe Jeff Mills should have told Richie Hawtin that the door was closed 30 years ago.

lol

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

I never liked Tiesto for one second, but i do kinda respect his hustle. I do think he's jumping on the bandwagon since it is so much outta leftfield compared to what he does. And that makes it cheesy. But a dj that doesnt move with the times becomes forgotten. Music is organic and evolving as a dj is essential. But switching completely when there's a "trend" is ridiculous.

All that said i did enjoy the EM...

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

So what other bandwagons did Tiesto jump on? Drum & Bass, Tribal, Minimal, Electro, Break Beat, Techno, House, Trance? I can name popular DJ's who jumped on every single one of them, but Tiesto isn't the first name that springs to mind.

Very plausible George or Lynne

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

This story is real,i know it personally from one of the promoters..Tiesto wanted at that time (2004-2005) to expand his gigs schedule and to include Bulgaria to his tour and that's why his management offered him to this promoter company..When they turned down the offer another promoter company took the offer and the rest is history..Tiesto played here 5 or 6 times already..the last time was just a few weeks ago here in Sofia..

''I do think he's jumping on the bandwagon since it is so much outta leftfield compared to what he does. And that makes it cheesy. But a dj that doesnt move with the times becomes forgotten.

+1

and this :

''“If he really wants to start playing deep house then maybe he should play it out live at his sold out expensive shows rather than hidden away on satellite radio”

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Kind of like like when Digweed jumped on that awful electro bandwagon.

Re: Tiësto - 2014 Essential Mix - 2 Hour Long Deep House / Techno

Sympathy for Tiestho at MS. Well, I never. Nowt wrong with electro (a lot of that electrahaus garbage was overdone, but there were gems as well).
