curious about this guy's status/reception across the usa..

i generally prefer every other side of electronic music to "non-stop bangers".. so i don't pay much attention to the electro house scene. the fact that he's :ohcanada: & has won multiple awards here counts for something.. but i was still a little surprised about his reception in vancouver this weekend.
he dj'd a free outdoor olympic concert on friday & a near 10K capacity was full hours before his showtime. the fact that it was free accounts for something.. but i was still taken aback by the crowd size (and apparently close to another 20,000 showed up and were turned away :ohsh:)

is this guy even anything more than just okay? i'm not too familiar with his work.. but what i've heard was sort of like justice but not as good.

he's horrible. Not even the Erol Alkan fashion house brigade takes him seriously.

I think the answer is that he's very popular, we just can't figure out why.

^Yeah, he caters to the same audience as Pryda, Fedde Le Grande, Tiesto and the Swedish House Mafia douches, which will almost always quarantee you huge venues.

He's overwhelmingly popular here. The faggot sells out Mansion every time.
