@suddenlyitsobvious You say its "junk-trance for the tasteless" Well since Im obviously tasteless, I must ask you only two things. Do you think that just cause a tune only have a few patterns and sounds its junk? and if so, how come you like Alcatraz - give me luv for an example, that tune has even fewer patterns and sounds.

[xRiica]

Love Armin, he is the best! I met him in person and he is nice!! Such a down-to-earth guy.

@suddenlyitsobvious You sir are an ass. I am not talking to all youtubers, I am replying to your ridiculous breakdown of Armin and now me. Fitting that all your videos are long, dry, drawn out, breakdowns as well. Lets put it this way: You are a negative Nacy and no one cares what you think.

[whitelabelfilms]

@suddenlyitsobvious What do these statements have to do with music? " I've seen a doc about him and hes got a team around him of managers and organizers an entire vibe that doesn't even REMOTELY spell: creativity. I say it's cleverly promoted junk-trance for the tasteless." You're talking about whos around him and insulting anyone that likes him. You analyzed his sounds, energy, format. Tell me that doesnt sound like someone that thinks he KNOWS trance music. IM the one mixing things up?

[suddenlyitsobvious]

@whitelabelfilms

...ANOTHER misrepresentation of my words:

I DID NOT SAY I don't like trance.

'bashing an artist and music you don't listen to'

I have heard trance regularly and quite like it if it's good. Do you always lie all the time? Strange.

You are obviously very biased. So you like Armin's PERSONALITY that you met PROFESSIONALLY.

Well what is that to us, to youtubers?

IT'S ABOUT THE MUSIC.

Let's put it this way: I've heard FAR BETTER.

[suddenlyitsobvious]

@whitelabelfilms

I am sorry but you are mixing several things up. The fact that you had a nice interaction with AVB while filming him is completely off-topic.

I said I don't know much about trance because you just accused me before of pretending I DID know a lot about it, so it's rather bizarre that you are now taking my honesty and slapping me with it, saying:

'You basically just said you dont like or know anything about Trance music.'

In this short sentence of yours there's yet...

'

[whitelabelfilms]

@suddenlyitsobvious I thought about finding some examples for you but then again, whats the point? You basically just said you dont like or know anything about Trance music. If you were open minded rather than bashing an artist and music you don't listen to, I would certainly give you direction to a style of Electronic you may like. You wont see me commenting on Hip Hop videos and preaching to everyone about how its not real music just because i dont understand it....

[suddenlyitsobvious]

@whitelabelfilms

I am not judging him or talking about his social skills around film crews. I was really talking about the music. I don't know much about trance at all nor was I pretending so. I find it is simply noticeable that his music isn't that good at all, but I'll give it another shot.

Maybe you can recommend a youtube vid with his best in your opinion?

[whitelabelfilms]

@suddenlyitsobvious These are some harsh words my friend. I've filmed nearly all the top DJs and Armin has always been the most accessible. Many DJs dont want cameras around and wont do interviews often. Armin on the other hand, has done interviews with me even when he's sick. For someone that knows so much about "real trance" I'd think you'd know something about the trance scene in terms of good vibes, respect, love and not misjudging others that you know nothing about.

[suddenlyitsobvious]

I've seen a doc about him and he's got a team around him of managers and organizers, an entire general vibe that doesn't even REMOTELY spell: creativity.

I don't know him that well but the few tracks I've heard lack energy as far as I'm concerned, and they certainly lack body.

It's like he's learned a few trance patterns and sounds and just hushes it together without the mix taking actual body and forming a cohesive whole.

I say it's cleverly promoted junk-trance for the tasteless.
