For me when im DJing its about playing good tracks not about following the trends and playing whats hot at that time. I play what i like. If its a new track great, if its 10 yrs old thats fine too. If its good music i will play it. Simple as that reallu.

classics fit so well. just as long as its one or 2, remixed or not. just because its been played before doesnt mean it shouldnt be played again. they are called classics for a reason, because they spank clubbers across dance floors!!

2004 was a very good year. That was the year I began to listen to Trance and that was the beginning of my liberation. Trance set me free and saved my life. Olden is golden. There's no getting around that.

play classics - absolutely, love the girls going wild (not only Mary) also sometimes unavoidable with some annually recurring remixes.

As seen and heard in EOYC it is quite refreshing as well to have a full-on classic set in da mix

Classics can really get your heart pumping like no other. A new hit with a great beat will move your body, but a real classic will move your soul. One or two in the set is good for me.

Old classics is a must! In my opinion it helps to change up a set, creates a mood and in some cases reminds us of its brilliance that has made it a classic

It's all about good/great music, so why shouldn't the DJs play classics in their sets? They are called classics for some reason...

I give a great detail to the tracklist, to the storytelling, how the set flows from the first track to the last one, if the next music has some kind of connection with the previous one, etc. If a track has 1 or 10 years, I couldn't care less, as long as it fits nicely in my set, I'm ok with it.

hell yes. theres nothing better than hearing a classic being blended in to a current track in a club. even more so if the dj in question is playing one of his self produced classics and seeing his reaction to the reaction he gets from the crowd on their realisation of what is comming next.

its the unexpected gem, the goosebumps, the dancing extra hard just because you know exactly what is comming.

man i need to go clubbing. lol
