Your Best Clubbing Memories.....

just wondering what r ur best party memories, best stories, best clubbing moments.......????????

i really gotta think about mine because there are so many, will update soon

awesome thread, lets keep this goin guys


for me i really just love dancing with my gf whether its just the two of us or in a circle/group of really tight friends.. i love just full out going crazy with my best friend also we get really silly on the dancefloor... i love buildups and getting goosebumps and right when theres a buildup during a set and i know its the track is gonna drop hard (assuming im not too fucked up) ill kiss my girl ....


shit i dunnno if i even answered this thread correctly im really fucked up atm smoooked waaaaaaay too much

3. My friend and I went to Seaside about a month ago because we were bored. We were at Bamboo, which is like a club/bar thing. The crowd was real young. We felt sorta out of place. But, by the end of the night, we were pleasantly drunk. They were playing the worst music I've ever heard out. Instead of just leaving then, we stayed till the end and danced like madmen. We were dancing slow to fast songs and fast to slow songs. We owned that place for about 20 minutes. Awesome!

2. Last year. James Zabiela at Crobar. Dude killed it the whole night. Real close to the end, he played Blur - Song 2 (Ivan Gough & Grant Smilie Mix). John, Sal, and I were just jumping around doing Van Halen kicks and stuff. Then... he played the PERFECT encore. At the time, I had no idea what the hell it was. Found out it was Mylo - In My Arms (King Unique Mix). Awesome ending to an awesome night!

1. Last year at Ultra. The whole day I was on a breaks kick, yet everyone else wanted to see the usual suspects. Boring. So finally, at the end of the event (again), Flo and I head over to the Breaks Area. We catch whoever... I forget who it was now... but anyway. Last DJ was Adam Freeland. Played a dope breaks set. On comes his remix of Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit. Flo and I dance and dance and dance. The breakdown comes and we just sit the bobbing our heads, waiting for the very disappointing drop that track has. But... the boring drop never came. He mixed right into the original SLTS. We just looked at each other which two HUGE grins and went BERSERK. I don't think I've ever gone as crazy at a club/party/whatever, as I did then. The perfect ending to Ultra last year!

wow, I've had a lot of amazing times over the years. Although they're kind of a blur at this point, my favorite nights ever were the PVD nights at Roxy. That was really the perfect venue for him.

And as much as I hate to admit it, I had some of the best nights of my life at Exit in the winter / spring and summer of 2002. I don't know if anyone on here will remember this night, but Tony Draper's "back to the Future" party is probably my most memorable club night ever. First time rolling in a club...i was totally blown away. My tastes have changed drastically since then, but damn those were the days.

howells arc closing party


Chris Fortier on these Docks of this bar/club at 6am... It was magic to be sitting on the edge of the docks over the water watching the sun rise, as fortier is playing one of the sickest sets ive heard......

Definitely the 1st time I saw Armin, at Ice in Vegas last year over Memorial Day! The night was insane, great place, music, friends, had a great time! Didn't leave until he stopped at about 6:30 or so then went to Voodoo Lounge for afters....crazy night!!!

Sander K - WMC 2005 at Space.....watching him and Nic Fanciulli on the Terrace....after trying to get in earlier with our space pass at about 5:00, left and ended up going someplace else and on the way out went into Space at 8:00 am - stayed until about 12:30 or so when he was done - words can't describe how amazing that night turned out to be after not being able to get in earlier!!!

Sander K - Space Miami, 4/23/05.......another amazing night.....him giving all of us by the booth strawberries and champagne, talking to his brother....amazing night of music!!!

Lawler in Chicago last October and Lawler at WMC at State this past March - the music was insane!!!

1) Howells at Arc closing party last year

2) Howells at Spirit this year

3) Lawler at Spirit this year (just seeing Lawler live for the first time= )

4) PVD at Roxy November 2003

5) Sasha & Digweed April 2005

tiesto @ world (not nye party) he dropped rapture and cut the music as the whole club sang along. needless to say it was harmony since like half the people had their eyes closed and their arms up in the air.

underworld @ hammerstein when they dropped but of course the one n only born slippy - euphoria baby

plenty more but those round out the top

Border Community Night @ B.E.D. Miami!!!!1111

Wow what a night.
To drink:
3 Heinekens
1 Shot Bacardi Gold
1 (2?) Shot SoCo & Lime



I was sooooo happy that night, but was still thinking clearly. Waiting in line, I had no idea what I was about to experience.
We (my friends from t.nu) go in, have our drinks, meet a few people while grooving to Holden.

As the night goes on, and I get progressively more alcohol in my system, Nathan Fake gets on the decks.
First tune, "The Sky Was Pink" with the intro stretched out for at least 5 minutes. The whole club (including the shelves bottles of liquor were on) turned pink. The whole atmosphere was indescribable.
Ambient tune, just surrounding us, and occasionally a teaser of some short really THICK bassline would cut through and knock us even more into a state of utter astonishment.
God damn, what a night.

PvD at arc, Monday night Nov.4 , 2002....NUFF SAID.

The night Twilo went up in flames. Digweed on the decks...Bindra gets on the mic and tells everybody to leave the club because there is a fire upstairs but we should be allowed back in...everybody leaves the club through the doors in the back in an orderly fashion...fire trucks and 3000 clubbers lining 27th street...hanging out near the parking lot across the street...down rolls a BMW with a tricked out system blasting the recently released GU019 Los Angeles...thousands of people going mad at this point...dancing on top of delivery trucks, in the street, you name it...FDNY gets everything under control and after 45 minutes to an hour we're allowed back in...first track Digweed drops, James Holden_Horizons...never have and probably never will see a club erupt like it did that night

Have plenty of other memorable moments but this one was just plain bonkers!

Thats a memory I wish I could have been apart of...I know so many people that consider that night the defining moment for them as to why they were in the clubscene in NYC...that story is legendary...

I told my roommate who is an independent filmmaker, that I want to make a movie about clubbing..not like the shit that is out there like Party Monster, or Go, or Body Shots, or whatever else there is...and I want that scene in there...people in the streets, Digweed on the decks...and of course a scene or two involving the Twilo ambulance...

OH MAN�.Born slippy. I can only imagine what that was like�.

3) My first experience at Vision. It was with Blank & Jones. I will never forget my first time there. I was amazed. I�ll never forget standing at the bar. Suddenly I heard the transition into Southern Sun. I look over my shoulder towards the dance floor to find oxygen being poured over the crowd and nothing but blue lights lighting up the club like it was underwater. Right as it hits the main chorus I hit the dance floor and find myself swimming in a sea of pure ecstasy�.

2) ATB. I was standing right at the entry to the booth when I see a swarm of security people coming towards me. I know it�s him. There he is standing in the middle. I scream �ATB ATB!� He looks and smiles right at me and I start jumping up and down. He enters the booth and starts his first track. Expecting something fast paced, he starts off with his more chilled track Trilogy instead. And I kid you not I start to cry! I remember standing there eyes closed not believing that ATB is less than 3 feet away from me. Suddenly I hear the beginning of his track �Ecstasy� start to cut in. Straight euphoria from then on�.

1) Gabriel & Dresden this past June in Chicago at Vision. Enough said.

Pictures from all three and more.

NYE with PvD because it was my first ever real clubbing experience for trance music. I also had never been to NYC before so the atmosphere, being up there with my good friends, getting totally trashed and dancing the night away to awesome trance in an awesome club was just AWESOME!

Also, this past Saturday was a great time for me as well because I was finally able to drag a friend of mine out to see his fav dj. He has been to Spirit once to see Alien Project but because of people we were with and the scene he didnt seem to enjoy it. This weekend though was awesome cuz it was just him and me and Ferry. Was an awesome night. Never been to Fur before and I definitely enjoyed it more then Spirit and it comes pretty close to Crobar, for me.

1. Paul Van Dyk at Ministry of Sound Bangkok, Thailand (Nov 2002)

Easily my favorite memory because I flew in a day early just because I heard about this event. It was insanely packed as you can see from his Global DVD. I was able to stand like 2 feet away from him the whole night while he dropped bomb after bomb of hard hitting trance. Then, I met my biggest love of my life (my ex-gf who I came thisclose to eventually marrying) that night. I will never forget the moment of even approaching her. A little sappy to say the least, I know....


2. Paul Oakenfold at Home in London (March 1999)

I traveled with my buddy for the first time to Europe and I was during the time when I just started liking trance music. We wanted to go to London because we were just insane Oaky fans at the time. I paid 30 lbs to get in and it was difficult because they were slinging us some shiate because we were American. But we eventually talked these girls to bring us along and we were in. He laid it down something thick. Tough to beat seeing Oaky in 1999, the year he was king.


I've had some great nights in NYC but nothing really comes close to these times.

I've always thought that was the coolest looking party in that DVD. The spiderwebbed lasers looked amazing.

1. Roger Sanchez in Napoli (not sure club name) July 2000 - First time went to a "real" club I was only 13 but the music was awsome so much better than the teen nights I had been to before.

2. Oscar G & Joe T Vanneli @ Full Fashion Milan 2004 - Just great house music and great women! A great night

3. Tiesto In Concert 2004 -

Aw Shit YEA!!!!!!! i was supposed to drive back up to college in RI and i heard about this party from some friend on my cell and i was like STOP THE MUTHAFUCKIN PRESS!!!!!!


LoveParade 2002! I cant forget that..never saw such mass pandemonium in my life.... absolute anarchical chaos... seeing all these insane people from all over the world dressed up as all these crazy things.. i was so normal compared to most of the attendees LOL. when sasha dropped CowPander.. ?!? AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the earth shook man. I never walked home so tired (sober) in my entire life, i couldn't make it to the bed at all.. i just collapsed on the floor! rofl.

Also... PvD's release party of Out There & Back in TWILO....JUNE 2000.....pouring rain outside... i was like complete awe of the place, it was only my 2-3 time there... he dropped every track from OTAB album, it was PURE FUCKING euphoria... with the neon lights shining thru the smoke machine that put out so much shit you couldn't see the person next to you!! hahahahah omg!!!! *shivers* wow... i think that was the first time i actually cried in a club, it was so incredibly beautiful hearing Tell Me Why, The Greatness of Britain and Face To Face in such a setting.....

Favorite party has to be:
June 13th, 2003
Aria Montreal
Tiesto and AVB
UNFORGETTABLE

Definitely worth coming up for that one night with my best friend for the amazing time that was.... Definitely the best clubbing memory I have

Up there also is Armin's visit in October of 2003 to Boston Avalon...

a couple of others to mention that were definitely up there:

Bal en Blanc 2005 (March 27th I believe) with Preach, Tiesto, Benny B, David Morales, Peter Rauhofer & Deep Dish!

Cream 2004 (Labor Day weekend of that year) with Desyn Masiello, Digweed, Ferry, Sander & Deep Dish... musically it was ridiculously good but the crowd was ahem... tripped out and shirtless and mostly gay... so it was a wee bit awkward as it got around 9/10 am when deep dish were really going at it that night...
