Rank 1 & Michel de Hey @ Aria (Friday 26th of July)
Just got back from Rank 1 - long drive back from Ottawa.
I will make this short cause I am tired and want to relax.
Got there around 2:30am, 15 min line up to get in and minimal check.
I have no idea what DJ was spinning but he played a few familiar tracks.
Rank 1 or should I say just Piet Bervoets knows how to spin but the other guy DeGeneji was there. Alot of people were shocked that Rank 1 - two of them were spinning and there was just one.
Cool set up from Aria - nice sound system and you can even watch the DJ spin and see what tracks is about to come up next. Also good crowd - notice more male to female population. I regret not bringing my Such as Life vinyl for him to sign. Very disappointed that Such as Life was NOT played.
Madagascar
Into the Night (coast to coast remix)
Awakening
Airwaves
Secret and Lies
line -if play with me I will play with you - my brain is dead - can't think of the title.
Didn't stay for Michel - I was watching him use the BE OS software and Flash Point Pro I think to beat match or atleast keep track of it. That's cheating!!
I had a good night and it was a fun way to start my bday weekend.
Will add more later when I get some sleep.

(one more week for WEMF)
got back from rank 1 and i had a splendid night
the last hour or so before rank 1 was excellent, i wasn't expecting that much from yaz
rank 1 ( or piet should i say ) kicked ass,trance music is too great to listen
but he played only 2h30 instead of three....
still all in all, excellent night there, people who missed it, too bad!! ( hey jpx!!)
I drove up from Ottawa with a friend. It was his first time at an afterhours and I really wish i introduced him on a different night. I thought the music was pretty cheesy. I dont know maybe its just me, but i think i am really getting tired of trance. I actually preferred the techno/prog from the resident before him. Anyway he still loved the club and couldnt believe what he saw compared to what we have in ottawa.
Biggy I dont know if it is just me but I have noticed a real improvement in the sound since the last time I came (armin in april). Nice job. One complaint though.. you promised a special light show for this event. What happened?! The sound may have changed but i didnt notice any change the lighting. I still havnt seen a lazer show at a party and I was really hoping to finally see one. Meh.. oh well.
Still had a great time as always. Might actually try to make it up for astral projection next week and definitely marco the following
woooo hooooooo what a good time
the track selection was cool and the mixing was alright, not spectacular
shoutout to all to the TAs: zing, fast, malek, congo, technofreak, rnakr, dmx
i didnt stay from 6-7am and i dont even want to hear about it, because im gonna be jealous if he played such is life
thanks biggy
What a CRAZY ass night !!!!!!
The music was awesome...
it was nice meeting some of you...
Fast, Zing, MasterCongo, the brother of The Rizzler (lol)
and some others that I don'T remember their names (sorry the music was to loud)...
Tracks I remember:
Sensation - Anthem 2002
Marc Archer - Je suis en Trance
GOURYELLA - LIGAYA (Rank 1 rmx) !!!!!
Madelyne - Beautiful Child (Hiver & Hammer rmx)
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Marco V !!
Moogwai - VIOLA (AVB rmx)!!!!!!!!! I went crazy on this one.
and lots of other that i don'T remember...
heheh help me 
I wish Rank1 came to Panama as well.
Only DJ's I've seen that have come to panama are AvB, Tiesto (twice) and Mauro Picotto! thats it!
Well, also scot project and cosmic gate but never got to see them.
Wow, wasn't expecting piet and michel de hey to play that well, but the tunes they dropped on us were perfect. I got there at around 4:30, had to wait for my friend bonnie because she works in a bar. from 4:30 to 8:00 am the music was superb, both DJs were spinning like crazy. Anastasia, i agreee with you, about michel de hey and his laptop, its not raw talent that is making him spin awesome, its more the technology. I was watching him a lot, and my god, must be really hard to learn to spin like that. I saw, as usual, a lot of TAs, such as Taha, Malek, Rnkr, zing, delstar, spoutnik (even though it was really short), and a few others. I still haven't met congo, charlie, anastasia, and others from ottawa. maybe next time (maybe astral projections, but not 100% sure yet, but definately Marco V and AVB). Also what i was very happy about is that there was a lot of room to dance, not like last time with oakenfold. And I didn't stop all night... Anyways, had a great time... All you TAs out there, we all fucking rock, I love hanging out with you guys...
See ya next time 
TechnoFreak
btw, Biggy, I was looking for you all night, I really wanted to see you, but couldn't find you, hopefully next time...
Thanks a lot Biggy for an awesome night 
YO YO du getto!!!!!!!!
Excellente soiree au ARIA hier !!!
jsuis arriver tout trempe mais po grave HUhUEHauhe
C'etait juste parfait, du monde, pas trop chaud, et excellent visuel...
c'est nouveau le 2ieme ecrans et le booth des VJ au centre?
Ca fesait 2 semaines j'tai pas venu au ARIA heheh
Le set de RANK-1 etait FORT, du bon trance progressif, et vraiment, j'ai trouver qui buchait a certain boute, pis j'ai vraiment aimer plus RANK-1 que Johan Gielen.......et de loin! :]
Y'avait des grosse montee de progressif ici et la... fort. :]
j'ai eu aucune idee si ya jouer LIGAYA la nouvelle de Gouryella (FCorsten)
Domage parcontre, il manquait un des gars de RANK-1, et celui qui spinnais est venu tout seul avec sa blonde...
Jai ecouter une bonne partie du set de Michel de hey, c'etait un peu du genre a Yaz peut-etre moins hard... il a jouer avec le systeme Final Skratch avec son portable sony (Tu joue des mp3/wav sur les vinyl encodee toute ca branchee a l'ordi)....
ya eu une coupe de fois que ca a accrocher parcontre....final scratch est pas encore parfait on dirait LOL
Je vois ca de plus en plus parcontre du monde qui utilise ca
Aquaviva, Hawtin, Dj Craze etc......
en gros, bon party, vous avez manquer de quoi amateur de trance si vous etiez pas!!!
HEaheah
Ha oui, ben content d'avoir vu Malek et la gang de TranceAddict.. :] !!
well i got there like at 1 i saw le castrateur at the lineup and after getting in a was just moving around, started dancing almost at the end of yaz set just before he put mi casa es su casa by latin loopworks (aka tomaz zzino and filterheadz) he also spinned sharpside spacecruisin, some ben sims tune, and acording to zing some marco carola and marco bailey and for the 6 week in a row la la land (tomaz zzino vs filterheadz)
then i saw piet inside, and anastasia i dont know if you are wrong but i didn't saw benno, and i don't think he was there cause it would have been a waste of money for biggy to bring him and pay hotel, plane tickets etc. if he doesnt spin, i did expect only piet to show cause rank 1 fans should know that piet spins and benno is the master producer, for people that don't know much about benno he's behind kamaya painters (with tiesto), benicio, etc.
anyway why they call us tranceaddicts?? cause of this hehe
tracklist
art of trance - madegascar (push remix)
nu-nrg - dreamland (rank 1 re-edit)
gouryella - ligaya
m.o.r.p.h - consequences (benicio remix)
rank 1 - airwave
frank trax - nebuchan (organ remix)
moogwai - viola (armin van buuren remix)
rank 1 - awakening
4 strings - take me away into the night (coast 2 coast vocal remix)
Madelyne - Beautiful Child (Oliver & Hammer Remix)
sensation - the anthem (the only cheese tune, i hate this allready) 
dj tatana - words (cj stone remix)
matrix - the matrix
matanka - lost in a dream (push trascendental remix) 
minimalistix - a forrest (one of the new remixes of 2002)
rapid eye - crica forever (rapid eye remix) i love this tune so much!!
Energy 52 - cafe del mar (cafe del marco remix )
dj frost - poison (gray and frost club mix) call me poison!!!!
ok guys fill in the blanks :P
anastasia are you sure secret and lies was played? cause i have the blank and jones original cd and that tune was not pleyed by piet. unless it was the airwave remix wich i haven't put much atention to.
and michel what can i say? whoa!!!!!!! hard hard and boom boom !!!
malek was telling me that it was nothing like the sensation set cause that set was like house music compared to this one and well i requested los hijos del sol by latin loopworks and he played it!!!!
he also played lalala land (dave clarke remix) and some familiar tune at the end that zing will give me the name :P really good set. and well never trust computers haha final scratch crashed on him once but it was all good after all, first time i saw someone use it, (i know richie hawtins the master of techno , john aquaviva and chris cowie use it also) and i dont think he was using a beatmatche since with the wave thingys that show the tune on the computer (how you call it? wave??) anyway you dont need a beatmatch since you can see there the kicks etc. i think it's inovative but also i don't trust the computer, but the good thing is that you can keep mixing normally with vinyls if anything goes wrong like michel did :P, great night probably the best i had at aria since i really enjoyed the sets.
i think it was the night with the most trance addicts i have seen, kudos to malek,zing,fastdj,discojoe,dmx (the only one who can handle dancing :P) deli, rankr, le castrateur, charlie!! , el-see,spoutnick nice to have you backa nd the lights!! and the guy with the sensation dvd (technofreak?), i never heard your name good nice meeting you all. also i saw only the back of eli 
when i arrived he was leaving, and for what i heard he was having lot's of fun
anyway anastasia sorry we didn't meet, maybe next time.
anyway that's it
im out to bed :P
zing i waited for you outside time,

hahahahahah
sorry guys but i enjoyed it pretty much cuz the djs made me enjoy it and enjoyed it themselves.
Piet was ok in mixing, but cant say he's good at it as much.He asked me if he could play harder, so i said yes and i see u all getting tired suddenly so i had to tell him to switch to classix! u hores! shame on u! i was jumping for nothing!
Ligaya (Rank-1 remix) ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) (cheese free)
Michel De Heij, upclose and personal about his mixing & his life... final scratch is simply a modest software and i found it harmless to the Dj gear since it just provides a small minor thing, clear mp3 mixing using vinyl and visual equalizer, but if u know how to mix its fuckin easy.
Other than that reviews will be posted soon
u get to know lots of things about rank-1 and michel de heij
You know guys... Classix is a must for us...
It gave me a boost u know... I was jumping like a kangooroo
but i admit it would have been interesting to hear some hard stuff from Piet.
a perfect night for me , except i didn't get to meet anastasia (i was dying to see her)
as usual it's good to see all the MTL TA team , you guys rock , keep up the good work (i like this quote hehe) , big up to Eli for a great come back and i was happy to meet those i haven't seen before
Piet was a nice person , his fianc�e too
now some funny moments of the night :
-Piet steps in the dj booth while Yaz is spinning , Yaz shakes Piet's hand and says "hi , i'm Yaz , are you Rank 1 ?" then Piet answers "no i'm Rank 2 , Rank 1 stayed in Holland" ok guys this one is not true , yes they were speaking but ZinG and i thought of this
-Piet is getting ready to play , he already cued 3 vinyls , but Yaz is still spinning , takes one more record and says to Piet "ok this is the last one" . 5 minutes laters Yaz takes another record and plays it , then Biggy kinda pissed off comes to him and says "Piet has to play now" and Yaz had to stop suddenly in the middle of a track lol
-During a moment before the end of Piet's set , a hottie entered the booth , took the main position on the left and started raising her hands to warm-up the crowd . Malek as innocent as he seems (woahaha) asks me : who is she ? then i answer : it's Benno he just came from the hotel ... AND GUESS WHAT ? Malek thought i was serious woahahahaha he was like "WTF Benno is a man not a woman"

u wrong Ligaya Rank-1 remix is different
not that diffrent, if it was i should't have recognized as easy. rank 1 is makin lazy remixes let's hope for a transa one better and see if it can top the tenshi one 
don't let me crush u like a bug
Secret and Lies was played around 6am.
I went up to see what track was spinning and I saw the vinyl case out..then I tapped on the window and he pointed to that..so that made me 100% sure. Then I smiled, ran over to my bf to tell him I was right in the first place becasue he second guessed me.
Then I listened really closly and heard the words.
then when I got to the car I played the track and he did play it..I remember singing to the words at the party..
Off to eat now, just woke up..
