"Thanks for your mail to Staneflow Records!
Don't worry Stanley Matti maliciously joked for what and will be punished."

-What does that even mean???

[deamon]

I think it means they sucks..deeper sense

[thijsje]

samples are both offline by now

anyone who ripped it?



Anyway, I think piracy is a bigger treat to the music industry than ripoffs.

That's what Stoneflow Records replied:

lol

Joke or not.. The label should have checked it, before releasing the track.. Since this is released on Armada, everybody who have been familiar with new trance for the last months should most likely know this track..
So I really don't understand how they can release this track, without already having heard it (with the real ID; Sebastian Brandt - 450)..

Ripping a track with millions of views = fail.

The new track by diplo and tiësto is a cover/ripoff of another song, but I don't recall which one, what was it again?

[Rodri Santos]

could be any song, tiesto is the master of rip offs, something enhanced by the unawareness of the people who thought that the tracks that tiesto played were made by himself.

mmh, I don't think that's more jealousy than the actual discussion... I still don't see where he stole "In My Memory" from.

I see inspiration not as stealing. But Tiësto did some indeed. Not going to mention Traffic there , as Traffic is licensed. Here a few examples:

Tiësto - Olympic Flame VS. Rah - Pole Position

DJ Tiësto - Theme From Norefjell (Christophe Chantzis vs. DJ Jan Remix) VS. Tiësto - Coming Home (Coming home sounds more like the remix than the original so he ripped the additional producing by Christophe Chantzis vs. DJ Jan)

DJ Tiësto - In My Memory (Airwave Dub) - DJ Tiësto - In My Memory (Tiësto Remix) = Same trick.. he ripped theadditional producing from Airwave

[aki]

still i like airwave instrumental/dub better than tiesto remix. much better just about same level as rank 1 airwave..
but anyone knows where c'mon comes from?

[thijsje]

but anyone knows where c'mon comes from?

I think it's more the simple, catchy melody that makes it recognisable... but doesn't say that it's stolen
