I've just listened to the original and sorry to say but it's not exactly my style, I find it a bit monotone, without any color. I love edm and most of my favorite Dj's are Dutch, but this track is different from what I like. However, this remix is more interesting


I could not listen to the one on Spotify as I'm not using the app and don't have time right now to create a free account.

Regardless, I'm amazed how you were able to use Shazam to find out which track is playing and more amazed that the app could identify it from that distance.

We could exchange music once if you are interested. Dutch are famous for their Dj's, last year 5 of the firsts 10 were Dutch. This year is different due to covid-19, all the concerts and tours were canceled, so i guess we won't be voting for the best Dj of the year :)

Maybe will be voting for the best online set, so many of them, either initiated by the artists or some festival or club promoter moved their events online. Many of them in NL and also Germany, like HYTE.

Unfortunately the usual suspects in the top x DJs of the world play EDM style, something I never was able to like. I go for much more the underground styles. But yeah, my taste in music is 360 degrees so yea we can surely exchange more music (in the footer of my post you can find links to two posts incl music of at least 200 artists from all sorts of music genres; almost all I really like). Since you seem to like the more melody in track I understand the remix version you posted. I think I like that one more than the other remixes, although the sound crawls further to trancy. I'm still with the original that does something to me while all the remixes is kinda owww ok :)

By now Shazam has a lot of fingerprints in their database, lots of electronic music. In NL the license authorities use track recognition systems to verify DJ track listings. Mostly only at the major events, but still. Not sure how this is in other countries. For sure, when the authorities using such system, it drives to growth of the finger print databases. If Shazam is cleaver they work together with these parties, and probably do :) The distance was not more than 20 meters I would think, and the volume was club level, 100+ dB...goes pretty far such volume :)

Give me a few hours and I'll tell you. Lucky you to live in a place like that. I spent a day in Amsterdam a good few years ago but would go back anytime and I will one day.

Owww yea, Amsterdam is a pretty nice place to be :) Let me know when you'll plan to come again, I can give you some tips here and there. Looking fwd about the thumb: up, down, or sideways :)

Holland has some of the best cities in the world. I love Utrecht and Amsterdam so much. Plus the Capital has one of the best vinyl markets at Utrechtstrasse. I bought a Duke Ellington double live LP for just 4 euros! They had lots of turntables at the store to try the used vinyls out but I said "come on...in the worst case I'll just hang it on the wall". And it sounds great too!

Aha super! Yea, we have still some good vinyl record stores in Amsterdam. I think this one you've been to is Concerto. Next time when you are in Amsterdam, also check Rush Hour. Boudisque is another one around for decades, not sure how good they are in vinyl these days.

I can't recall the name of the store but it had ground floor and basement as far as I can recall, kinda big with lots of turntables and huge collection of vinyls. Lovely city. Lively but not too noisy, neat but not neutral. I spent my birthday there 6 years ago and you had the warmest November ever. Almost +20C sunny days with cafes flooded by people soaking the sun. A friend called me and he thought I was still in Greece listening to all this crowd outdoors on the phone :) I couldn't be luckier.

WooHoo, you had the best experience of Amsterdam I think! Such weather at end of autumn is rare. That said, our major back then must have arranged something special for you with the weather gods hahaha I really like quite a few cities around the world, but I still have to find that one city I would exchange Amsterdam for. San Francisco I really liked, I would be able to live their for some time.

I did the same comment haha. It was like I took the weather with me from Athens :)
I've never been to the States but I'd love to. San Francisco must be so nice undoubtedly or at least excluding its high humidity and insane real estate prices.
