Review: CONTACT w/ Rank 1, B&J, Menno, M.O.R.P.H. @ Guvernment
Anyone find a camera? 
The answer the question will highly influence my review... 
lol!!
Holy trance, Batman!
Rank1 - why first? Great set. I can has Airwave. Crowd was really into it.
B&J - should have opened or closed. Wouldn't have had to endure it so long...
Menno - Menno is Menno. Really enjoyed his set.
Alex Morph - I found the vocal trance at the beginning off putting. Got a little housy, then opened it up for some ripping trance. He should have been on right before Menno. His set was coming along by 6 or so, but by that time the place was emptying and my heart wasn't in it. I'd certainly see him again in a more desirable time spot.
OOOOOOOOOO GODD!!!! Three great moments of the night for me!!!
Two of them for Rank 1. Luvstruck( What a tune!!!) left me amazed and when the AIRWAVE came it was only me, the music, and everything stopped for the length of the song. I was floating, I just felt the music, the same way I felt it when I first listened to it back in Spain.... I could fly with that song, ...If I had to define trance with with a song it would be this one....WHAT A MOMENT!!!!!!!
AND THE MENNO, decided he would "meet her at the loveparade...wowowowow!!
I LOVE TORONTO!!!
just got back.. alex efffin MORPH~! wow
menno.. meh ( I mean come on! don't play Chakalaka twice after b&j played it even though its mixed just a little dif) took off to gallery and caught the end of his set....although alex did the same thing! ramsterdamn twice! thats two dj's playing the same song!
rank1 ...very pleasing ...good track selection. Joee Conns gets a mention too, loved his set in the gallery!
all in all impressive night at guv. Tune of the night for me... Every other way (alex opened with it)
iluvtheguv!
Wicked night! Thankfully we had a table this time so we didn�t even have to wait in the line up. I�m glad we gave Guv another chance after Deadmau5� there was plenty of room to move around and dance, so no complaints here.
We got there in time to catch the second half of Rank 1�s set, everyone was into it and it was a good warmup. I hadn�t heard B&J before, but my first impression was a good one. Menno�s set blew me to pieces! The crowd loved him, and he clearly was having an awesome time up there. I also caught one of those CD's he was chucking at the crowd, I haven't even looked at it yet so I'm not sure what's on it. Morph started out a bit nervous (it looked like it anyway), but that quickly changed once he eased into his set. Great music all around!
Don�t think I met anyone from TranceAddict, though. At one point I thought I recognized the girl who seems to be making her way into everyone�s avatar, but I wasn�t sure� where do you all group together? We were mainly up front, although I checked out the back near the speakers every once in a while for a change of scenery. The name is Ben, asian dude with glasses, dancing like a jackass all night long. Say hi if I met any of you! 
Anyways, we drove 2 and a half hours to Toronto, danced for 7 hours straight, and then drove 2 and a half hours back to Kingston, all done on no sleep since yesterday morning. Since that more than likely has some sort of detrimental effect on my general health, I�m going to call it a night and go to bed. Awesome night!!! Ciao
For me the tunes were 50%...
Mark was a short set so not much to say. Too bad he didn't see my sign....
Rank 1 was pretty good...

I actually made it to the event i got a text from a friend of mine around 11:45 letting me know that
Alex is going to go on earlier than planned i dunno if they were joking or what so i confirmed with
a few of my other friends and they told me the same thing so got ready then off to the guv i went!!!
Got there around 12:30 or so wow the guv was pack Rank 1 was on the decks and he was ripping
it up only got to hear 45mins of his set and have to say the 45mins were absolutely amazing!
Blank And Jones
It's been a while since the last time i saw them and there style never changes i guess thats a good thing!
They had the crowd pumped plus they had the best time slot imo they played a few great tunes Only
Love (Jerome Isma-Ae Remix) i really enjoyed the end of there set was EPIC to hear there olders tunes 
and a few other ones!!!
Menno De Jong
I know people did not like his set imo he played better then he has in the past this
time around his set was good! took a while for me to get into it the last hour was
great one track that i'm not a fan of Ramsterdam (Jorn Van Deynhoven Remix)
When you hear this track live its a hole different story i think a few djs played this tune 
i would have to say my fav tune that he played was Last Light Tonight holy shit
great set Menno!
Alex Fucking M.O.R.P.H.
This is the reason why i came to find out around 1:30 that he will be closing i was pissed
i'm like fuck it seeing how i'm already here will make the best of it to be honest i'm soo glad
that i stayed to hear his set IMO he OWNED!!! I could care less what other people think
you know whats soo funny is that the tunes that Alex played last nite we heard some of them
at vola last friday and people say that it was the best trance set that they have heard in a long
time 
Like for real you all need to make up your minds you like or you dont 
anyways thats enough
back to Alex set he open with some kind of intro with every other way which was pretty kool
was happy to finally SEE a new dj at the guv and i hope to see Alex back really soon!!! Be for he
went on he came on the dance floor to say hello to his fans which was nice of him to do that!
I ask him what do you think of The Guvernment i love can't wait to play for everyone!
One tune that i was surprise to hear Casa Betelgeuse (Barnes And Heatcliff Remix) EPIC TUNE!!!!
It kind of suck that the club was slowly slowly was emptying out i understand was getting late
next time PLEASE dont have him play so late the tune of the nite for me was
Healesville Sanctuary (Roger Shah Mix) 
I give Alex's set a 8 out of 10 b/c i did not stay to hear the hole thing had to get home!
Great nite all around was good to see everyone videos will be posted tomorrow sometime!!!
so I guess you could go.
Wow,left at 6;15, found out that there aren�t mcdoubles at that time but only breakfast mcdonalds, and went to sleep at 7:00am.
Got up at 11:00, seen my favourite Spanish soccer team win and uploaded a few videos with great moments of yesterday... I wont forget the Airwave moment... Last friday, yesterday..I love Toronto!!
Sorry about the quality...now it�s Siesta time!!
rank1 took the cake
menno was also good, lovee paradeee haha that was soo sick
didnt catch much of morph still
who was in the orange room last nite
Rank 1- Expected more. I have heard such great things and although he delivered, not exactly what I wanted to see. To give him credit though he did open and its hard to get crazy when the crowd isnt at its max and you've got 3 + DJ's to follow
Blank and Jones - better last time I saw them. They should have opened and then let Rank 1 do his thing.
Menno - MENNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Morph- only saw 30 mins of him. Pretty good to follow though.
Orange room was good also - normally not the type to venture to that neck of the woods but it was pretty banging. and i second Polkaudio's request to know who was in there? Event posting has been taken down.
All in all Fab night! great music great people
PS- Chakalaka was played at least twice if not three times. Won't lie though i didn't mind!!
COXX "I could care less what other people think
you know whats soo funny is that the tunes that Alex played last nite we heard some of them

time
I agree, makes no sense.. Doesn't surprise me in the least. Guess its all in the chemicals...
i got there half way through rank1's set, didn't do much for me until airwave.. from there on the night as rather one of the better guv nights.
THE NIGHTFLY!
security sure had their hands full kicking ppl off the booth, all in all A+
IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE!!! The best Contact I've been to so far. I was impressed with all 4 sets, each in a slightly different way. Rank 1 wins I think for best set of the night (even though he was opening!!). Some serious tunage played, especially for a time slot beginning before midnight.
Blank & Jones followed, and they played pretty hard. I was honestly expecting nothing from them after last year's "hi, we don't like to structure our sets properly and suck at set flow" fiasco. But I definitely think they played a far better set than last year. Nightfly will never get old!!!
Next was Menno (who I was obviously looking forward to most) and this is probably one of the best I've seen him. To be honest, I wasn't feeling the start of his set too much (maybe because of Chakalaka, for the love of SWEET god please retire this track for a couple of years) but that very quickly changed. He played absolutely amazingly, and I couldn't even come close to stopping my grinning face during his set. One of the reasons why he's one of my favourites. <3 And I definitely agree with you Petey, Last Light Tonight was probably my fave part of his set. What a tune.
Alex M.O.R.P.H. closed out the night really well, although I could have done with a few less vocals and a more driving sound for that time of the night. But I'm super pleased with his set overall. A good chunk of the non-vocal tracks he played had such an epic feel to them. Serious hands in the air moments. SOOO nice seeing a fresh face in the Guv. He seemed really genuinely happy before, during and after his set to be playing in Toronto. The tune of the night for me was played by him too: Gaia - Tuvan (Original Mix). <3
Ugh I'm just so happy right now, I love 2010. Keep 'em coming Toronto!!!
