Lemmiwinks Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 So lately there was an interview on Armin Van Buuren asking him what he was currently listening to on his iPod and he replied... OTT, bet you didn't see this one coming (OTT himself didn't see it coming either lol). We might actually have an Armin in Dub album in the coming future! Well, I’m a big freak for ambient. And I’ve discovered this new guy called Ott; you should check him out. I found him on iTunes, and I actually found him through Spotify, and I just love his stuff. It’s kind of ambient dub. It’s really weird but it’s a lot of electronic music and I really like what he’s doing. It’s kind of completely weird but it reminds me a lot of the Delirium productions and Conjure One and that sort of sound – the sound that I really miss. A lot of dance music is pop right now, and it’s not a bad thing necessarily but my heart is more with that sort of stuff. full interview here Quote
desysko Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I don't care too much about Armin since he is one of the reasons why trance got bastardize into the big room stuff that is popular. But that's an interesting thing from him anyways. Delirium and Conjure One did have good stuff back then. 1 Quote
Padmapani Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 And I’ve discovered this new guy called Ott i wouldn't exactly call ott a "new" guy Quote

johnb820 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Awww, maybe he even secretly likes Shpongle too! Quote

We might actually have an Armin in Dub album in the coming future! full interview here The music selection is nice, but the player surely isn´t. A wealthy and popular music producer shouldn´t listen music through a crappy Ipad by any means. The Ipad is a really crappy mp3-player compared to good music players. I guess they used Ipad as a term because it is "cool" or "common", but in reality he uses a different mp3-player. Anyway I find it great that he listens to Ott and Ott really produces very good music that is one of the best in it´s genre. The man itself is very nice and he thanks people when they say that they respect his music. I told it to Ott and he was pleased to hear it. Therefore he is a nice man and an impressive producer.

Penzoline Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Armin became big during trance era, pushed it forwards(To somewhere at least) and what does he do now? House. Why? Because it's in. Pathetic. His opinions ain't worth shit. Ott and Sphongle are also like the easiest relatives to psy to chew through, really. Their music is very approachable by anyone, which is why they are so popular compared to many acts. 1 Quote

technosomy Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 so he should!!! pay respect armin van bitches!! Quote
Penzoline Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 That, and their music is good in general. Well yes that adds to it. Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted August 29, 2014 Author Posted August 29, 2014 hmmm well ok, Armin is playing house music just to be in but hey, has anyone taken a look at the psy scene lately? I've been to 2 (rather) large festivals this summer and I couldn't get ONE track that really impressed me and that wasn't already released years ago... it's all turning to shit IMO. Quote
desysko Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 The Future Ducks of London are amazing, haha. Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 It's just like OMG that's EXACTLY how 99% of the tracks played at big festivals sound! lol Quote
Tom! Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Armin became big during trance era, pushed it forwards(To somewhere at least) and what does he do now? House. Why? Because it's in. Pathetic.

Their music is very approachable by anyone, which is why they are so popular compared to many acts. err - no he doesn't. He still plays trance. Most of the stuff in the first hour of ASOT is very trousey and utter rubbbish but the 2nd hour is always brill. He dedicated ASOT 666 to Psy and other darker sides of trance as well. Armin is the only one out of the big DJs who has stayed true to his original sound. Quote
desysko Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Haha, ok I'm gonna call bullshit on that. Armin has changed. Saying that he has kept true to his original is a joke. Compare his released from 5 years ago and now, if you say that they are the same then obviously your definition is quite broad. But whatever, I've already dealt with numerous people on this topic of Trance and its direction now days that I'm not gonna bother with it. Quote
Ilgaz Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 the last time I listened to Armin's stuff was in 2004, Universal Religion album and that was full of Progressive Stuff : ) I dont consider him as for this genre anymore, pop DJ Quote
Tatsu Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 hmmm well ok, Armin is playing house music just to be in but hey, has anyone taken a look at the psy scene lately? I've been to 2 (rather) large festivals this summer and I couldn't get ONE track that really impressed me and that wasn't already released years ago... it's all turning to shit IMO. I had the same feeling during the last few psy parties I've been and it's one of the main reasons I prefere other music now. Thje last really amazing party I've been to was with Crossing Mind and Cosmosis live, and that was at least three years ago. I was able to catch Ticon live maybe two years ago and that was cool too (besides the fact that the rest of the music was not really fresh and he is more progressive than psy). The rest of the DJs I heard lately were playing tracks sounding nearly all the same, lacking really psychedelic elements. Because of that I think it's kinda funny if people bitch about commercial trance acts like Armin von Buren. As if the psy scene is not getting more and more commercial and as if the psy scene is still blasting with innovative sounds (of course some artists are, but the general outbut is sounding very similar within each sub-genre)... I also think it's kinda funny that one hand we bitch about Armin's influence on the commercial trance scene and blame him for the decay of it but he mentions he listen to less commercial artists like Ott people still diss him. I mean ok, he is a big name so no matter what he does he is an idiot anyway. Very open minded we are... Quote

Tatsu Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Oh yeah, I forgot: if you are in the "right" scene you can bitch about the others. How could I... :d Quote
