yep dumonde were awesome! Nice to see Helen there and meet Hyperdimension and Webmeister


We were all right up the front for Dumonde

Pics were taken, lookin forward to seeing em!


Helen you missed Memory that was a highlight for me, and I dont think they played God Music actually

anyways sleep for me, need to get up for the Peace rally in a few hours, doh! Then play a basketball game this evening, I'm sure gonna be in good shape for that

if i knew you were all there i would have met up!!!!! damn it! i just came with me dad (hehe) for dumonde then left.

Ok i dunno is it just me but i didnt think they were that good, yeah they can produce but there mixing was poor in my opinion.

There set had no structure, it was just straight out hard with no high points or low points. The sound was average (not dumonds fault)

There mixing wasnt the best, i heard a few mixes that just didnt go, like the first one. Most tracks wernt in key and just didnt flow with the next.

and finally there levels were all over the place, like a song would come in very low then all of a sudden theyd turn it up making it very obvious. In the middle on tracks the sound would go down.

It looked to me liek they were having troubles with it? i dunno

sorry guys just my opinon, great producers but average mixing i though.
overall i wasnt to impressed with them from a technicall point of view

Dumonde were indeed awesome!!!
I would love to have met up with fellow au.TA's but I had no idea that i would end up going. My friends rang me up to go @ 11pm and it was so sudden LOL

Ummm, the last song they played was:
Hi-Gate - Sexuality (Dumonde remix) ?

I went absolutely nuts when they spun Trauma...!

we got back @ 4:30, had to wake up @ 8 for work which is where I am now, OMG i feel soo dead..!


Posted by [ groovypants ] on Feb-16-2003 00:36:

*bump*

Hmm that was strange... I clicked back on the web browser and it posted the duplicate reply.. lol


EDIT V2: Just remembered, Dumonde also played Theme from Banging Globe (System F remix)... ^_^

What an awesome night that was!

Storming hard uplifting trance - nobody in the world does it better than Dumonde and they delivered on a massive scale!! I agree with wax that the mixing was pretty ordinary at times, Jurgen (JamX) seemed to be having particular troubles, but as I said elsewhere, when the tracks are that good, who really notices?

Props to all the TAs who represented: Phil (thanks for the ticket!), Helen, Romp (sorry dude I forgot your name :/), Bragi & Chookie as well

Other tunes that ppl haven't mentioned:
Hi-Gate - Saxuality (their encore track)
Michael Parsberg - Unknown (F8T recordings promo) - though it was different remix I hadn't heard before..
Dumonde vs Lange - Memory
Warrior - If You Want Me (might not've been Dumonde who played this, but I'm fairly sure I heard it during the night)

Funniest moment of the night: I dunno, but I think me trying to sing the lyrics to Trauma was pretty funny Listening now, I reckon even Japanese people wouldn't know what the fuck she's singing about

Transmission overall was much better this time around than last time. The sound was much better, less sniffer dogs, and best of all I don't think it was as crowded as last time... The VIP area was pretty OK was well, I was just thankful for comfy chairs and air-conditioning

Was good to meet Jurgen & Dominik as well - Dowlz you were right, mention TA and suddenly they're your best mates He actually mentioned you as well, Dominik said he met people from TA up in Brisbane on Friday as well "there are tranceaddicts everywhere"

I left the place about 5am - was extremely tired after 4 hours of going nuts without any chemical help , which reminds me - how good was PeeWee vs Nervous?!? I wasn't expecting much from them, just the typical hard house/borderline hard trance that is the Transmission norm, but they laid down an awesome trance set. Tunes included:

Cosmic Gate - Exploration of Space
Veracocha - Carte Blanche
Dumonde - Tomorrow
Signum - What Ya Got 4 Me?
BINARY FINARY - 1999 (PAUL VAN DYK MIX) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG
Taiko - Silence (Mike Koglin Mix)
Rapid Eye - Never Going Back - Phil this was the name I couldn't think of, not long after we got in

Can't remember many more

So yeah, Dumonde & Transmission gets a big from me

Don't Dumonde care about their dignity.

Posted by Az on Feb-16-2003 04:09:

I don't think they'd have played Zombie Nation after Global Gathering.......


Posted by waXology on Feb-16-2003 04:13:

they started well, i liked prodigy - smack my bitch up


Posted by Psygnosis on Feb-16-2003 04:21:

Nervous is a good song selector, but Bexta

I guess i gotta wait until Dumonde play again next time grrrrr.

I agree Bexta sucks, I mean she hasn't updated her record box in god knows how long, I saw her up in Queensland and she just sucked ! nervous anyday of the week, he played @Gas last week before Cosmic gate and it was a good warm up,lots of familiar tracks ! Nervous rules

Spewing I didn't go now I would have loved to meet up with you guys, can't wait now for TT and then the big one PvD back in Sydney ! Nick Warren next fri. night @Gas is also a big possibility


Posted by [ groovypants ] on Feb-16-2003 05:07:

Bexta is CUTE though!

I was kinda impressed by Nervous's track selection, but I didnt stay for long, I left when Bexta chucked on Zombie Nation... We were in the carpark and could hear the crowd singing along with the melody LOL HAHAHAHA

And Agreed, Smack My Bitch Up was very coool, it was the main reason why i stayed back, hoping that it would get more interesting, but it didnt really take off much...
