id like to see porter robinson but tiesto sucks and is a fag (not NEARLY as much as skrillex tho)...i just think tiestos music is too girly
but yeah OP, ingest as many as you can, cuz ur gonna need it in order to have fun at the show
i agree I'm going for Porter...I saw him once at a festival and he absolutely killed it!
while I'm not a huge tiesto fan I have heard he puts on one hell of a live show
yeah last time he came around he was supposed to play with Kill The Noise, and donald glaude, but they changed porters set from that show to the afterparty at some shitty overpriced club in Providence...and i ended up not going at all, a friend had an extra bassnectar ticket so i went to that
but i was def disappointed i didnt get to see any of those 3

Skrillex is a great producer but I really don't rate his DJing skills. I've seen him perform live a handful of times and not once has he ever really impressed me. On each occasion, I've been filled full of MDMA so it shouldn't have been that hard to win me over.
Don't get me wrong, we all have different opinions. You might really enjoy yourself. Anyway, I'd recommend MDMA to help with your night. Maybe a little ketamine depending on how brave you're feeling? I'll leave that decision with you!

damn why do the haters come out so strong for DJs? You guys don't get it! They press play on LOTS of buttons and have to coordinate them to the energy of the crowd. You gotta be a fucking beast. Especially to MAKE the music which is a titanic accomplishment all its own.

i agree. DJing well takes skill. Skrillex does not DJ well.
*press play* *light cigarette* *make sure EQs aren't accidentally turned down* *move hair out of glasses* *talk to hipster friends* *check EQs again* *make hand movements to the crowd* *triple check EQ knobs* *adjust alcoholic beverage* *dance with hipster friends* *move hair out of face* *more hand movements* *yell in mic* *drink, smoke* *repeat above steps 3 times* *RANDOMLY TRANSITION TO A TRACK THAT IS ALREADY HALF WAY PLAYED WITH NO MIXING WHATSOEVER* *randomly cut power, music stops* *CROWD GOES INSANE!!!!!* THIS IS THE GREATNESS THAT IS SKRILLEX
thats so funny

TRUE STORY FROM MY DAY: my co worker said he's been getting into drum and bass recently, and really likes skrillex because that guy is amazing (uh? skrillex is drum and bass?)
so i asked the middle school kids that come into my work if the kids at their school listen to bassnectar and skrillex
"oh yeah i love skrillex"
so i said: "and alot of kids at your school listen to him too?"
"yeah, i mean it depends on the person".
I acknowledged this with a stone face then stared vacantly into the future laughing to myself.

Indeed, Ott has some incredibly funky moving beats.
I haven't seen Skrillex live, but I've heard from many people that mention he does exactly as you described. With the whole cigarette thang, moving his hair, yelling in to the mic, cutting the music for a moment, everyone goes nuts, the drops into another song, lighting up another cig, and repeat.
I know I've said it around here a bunch, but I can't take him seriously, he's a huge joke among the bass music community, seems like he's just trollin' the bass music thang and raking in the $cash monies$ because he knows everyone will go crazy over some catchy generic sounding beats....I mean I'll admit, yea some of his stuff is definitely catchy, but that's a bout it.
I've seen Datsik and Excision live and they weren't any better either, more specifically Datsik. I've seen him live 3 times now and it's been a disappointment every time. His sets weren't mixed well and didn't really have flow to them what so ever, track plays, drops, plays for a while more then he cuts out the music, people go crazy, drop again, cuts out, rewind!, ohh shit!, drops again... . I straight up walked out and left in the middle of his set.
