Tiesto and Sean are both brilliant artists. Traffic and Psykofuk are 2 different genres and they are both awsome songs. Sean manages to creat this awsome trippy sound and manages to control it brilliantly. Tiesto manages to admitedly take the sample and creates another brilliant song in another genre. Tiesto knows brilliance when he hears it, and he just added his musical skills to it. Big ups to both of them !!

Guys stop the hate like comon! We all know here that Tiësto didn't create MOST of his melody but still, he used to have amazing producers (Hans-Willem Mallon & Dennis Waakop) who were working days in night in his studio to produce some tracks like Traffic. Both tracks are brillant but the original will always stay the original.

Tiesto stole it from Sean Deason. Tiesto stole God is a dancer. From DJ August 77 - Anne.

@TranceElevation I get that,but this track and Traffic only shares the same melody.The feeling is absolutely different.Traffic is an uplifting track with a breakdown with people raising hands and shit,and Psykofuk is driving,haunting,repetative,hypnotic and pretty sick track.This melody could be used for a lot of things,just like those drum kicks.It not the melody that creates a track,it's the arangment and combination with other sounds.

@djdon4u inside the first TIESTO IN CONCERT dvd box, has the tracklist and every song has the WRITTEN/COMPOSED , PUBLISHED BY and COUTESY at the bottom, and on TRAFFIC it says SAMPLE TAKEN FROM THE TRACK psykofuk by sean deason, thats who i found out about this video, in my opinion this track sounds like a loop, tiestos traffic has a build up and the melody changes

@Urban303Resistance sampling some elements to make a different track is one thing, copying the melody is another. Melody is the heart of a piece, the most creative part of a track, the thing that would make you recognize it, a trademark if you want... I have nothing against tracks like: "smack my beach up" which is totaly sampled. But in that case you got a completely different and unique piece.

@Urban303Resistance Not only the melody, the structure is also very similar with the main riff rising through the track. So as you see the main concept of the track has been stolen. But this is nothing new for Tiesto, he doesn't even produce "his" tracks. Copy is a copy.

@TranceElevation Fuck it,I still don't see it as a rip-off... But,the other thing you said is fucking true.A bunch of Tiesto's track were written and produced by somebody else.He just put his name.Now,that's a fucking rip-off! :)))

There is no such thing "Tiesto Version". There would have been if the title was not "traffic" but: "Psykofuk Tiesto Edit". It is not, so this is called a RIP-OFF.

@Urban303Resistance

@TranceElevation If you really know anything about EDM,you would know that there is no such thing as a rip-off.Our culture is based on sampling,remixing,and combining.He took the melody and probably added another samples too.He created another feeling,totally different from this.This is fucking EDM,it's not like Shakira took Brittney's chorus and put it on her song! btw. I have no idea why the fuck am I replying,because I don't like Tiesto,or Traffic or this mix 2 that much.Mix 1 is epic,though!
