, but ofcourse not in a way with the aim to compare/contrast for example 'how bad' tracks were in history and 'how good' nowadays. But I'm sure that's also not what you mean!

It's also nice to set old tracks in the spotlights which never have been there before .

There's too many trance/house to know all by everyone, also from before 2005, so there's enough variability possible

But ofcourse not every set has to be filled with oldies, it can be more i.m.o.

Summary: Yes, it's nice to have (not well known) old tunes in a set, but if you want to use them, use them in a good way, with respect for the founders of Trance

Some classics, yes. Generally though, no.

Back in the day, I hated seeing Galaxia on so many mixes after I'd already heard it a million times when discovering it on the first couple of mixes that I heard it on.

Great song? One of my favourites. Classic? Yes. Do I think it should be on an already incredible mix, sometimes bringing in the insanely unique feel of another mix, one of which does not fit in the current one?

Not always, to say the least.

why the henry not...if it fits then who cares RrrrrrRrright !?!!?

[Woozya]

Yes, it will be really good
cause there are many amazing classic tunes in trance music
I think we didn't hear many of them
And when Dj plays old good track it is very speccial

Always.

Well it doesn't really matter what tracks you play - thats all about being a DJ at the end of the day! :-)

sure! im happy when i hear something classic a classic always makes me and im flying back in that time when i heard it first time

I agree with statements saying the DJ "can" use classics rather than "should" use classics.

In my opinion, if I'm mixing I love to drop a classic or 2 as long as they last the tst of time, some songs sound dated and don't fit in well, but many tracks still sound good when standing up to newer (possibly improved with extra years of production knowledge?) tracks.

I saw Ferry Corsten at Gatecrasher's 15th birthday last September and he was playing some classics, I remember Moonman - Galaxia and the Violin Edit of System F - Out Of The Blue and they worked an absolute treat and fitted perfectly into his set!

[apocalypse_now]

Cant beat the classics

A BIG YES TO ALL OLDIES!!!
I really feel happy listyening to them in new mixes and feel good when i can guess the nbame and artis of it-))
Really makes me feel better and reminds me of old good times when i was young...

In my opinion, a DJ should not forget about older tracks. For example, I hate that DJs are not playing often a tracks from 2008 (there are not classics but it is an example) or all the radioshows are presenting latest tunes? Anyway, a DJ must mix some classics in his set. We can not play only the music that is new. We must reach for some olders productions, this is history.

I am glad when I hear some classics that I have not heard yet.
