We started off the night by going to trancechaos's house and b-day man cale (vertigo) got alittle wrecked lol. Thanks for having us baki, wicked times for sure. Next time i'll hit that shit lol!

We got in before 11pm i'm pretty sure, but I dont really remember the time lol. Saw those crazy statues that some girl thought wernt real, which was a person, and when she touched it, she screamed lol.

It was nicely done inside kool haus, always a cool theme, and lots of room to move which didnt last long haha. Place got packed and it was a huge party! Even before the offical TA meet up time and spot, we met alot of TAs at front corner on the right of the stage.

I liked nick warren he got me pumped! Nu-NRG was nuts!!! LOVED THE BEATS! Getting some faster stuff in to pump everyone up alittle more.

Armin was wicked! He played some crazy mixes of songs! Amazing stuff! Alot of songs I dont even think i've ever heard before! Armin is always my favorite dj forever. Hes just so with the crowd the whole time and massive smiles 24_7. Anytime heres around spinning, I will always go.

That was just a friggin awesome night. With all the stupid bad luck crap thats been happening, this was just a great night! I met so many TAs! NEVER EVER met so many in my entire life. All of you are just so wicked! All so nice and easy to talk to, funny, and its always good times.

The last two hours I was there I just friggin lost it dancing hahaha! I dont know who was around me, or what anyone else was doing, I was super in the zone! The music was fackin amazing!!! I just started going crazy! Could NOT help it! I was so PUMPED! hehe! Loved it sooo much!

Hope you had a good b-day thing at guv Cale. I dont think you could have asked for a better guv event for that haha. You drunk mother fack LOL! Karen, thanks for using your car to cram all our asses there, and driving back. I've always had awesome times with you, and your always so nice! Remember to put your hand in the air straight out to the beat LOL! Steve man, your coming out more, its awesome! Mr. Sober himself, staying till the end somehow, and sleeping in the car in the FUNNYEST ways hahaha! I nudge kelly "look look!" your heads down, body forward, but the seat belt was holding you in place LOL! Kelly, were friends forever, and i'm hearing "your wedding song" at your wedding LOL! we've had massive good times, ups and downs, but were always friends. you opened me up to alot of different kinds of music, and got me going to different places. one day you will have the entire set of carebears, and somehow get one made, called a kelbear lol!

Cant wait for the next big event! LOVE IT!

It's sunday night and all i want to do is live the whole party over again.

The vibe in the kool haus was amazing. Usually I am a wanderer and walk through all the rooms all night, but for this party i didn't want to miss a single track that Armin played.

I thought Nick Warren and Remy were good, but not spectacular. A little bit slow if you asked me.
Nu NRG was good though, they had good energy and were fun to watch. I love that they played born slippy, and liked the u2 remake that they played.
As for the man himself. The only thing that happened that night is Armin further cemented himself as the greatest dj in my books.
He lived up to every expectation I had.
Even though a lot of the tracks were older tracks, I didn't mind it at all because a lot of them I had never heard played at a club before.I thought they went well with the feeling of the night and he was interacting with the crowd like crazy.

Track of the night for me was Find, I love that and almost killed myself dancing when it came on.
The only thing i was disspointed in was his encore being nirvana, something about that track doesn't feel authentically armin enough to me and he has closed with it the last two times he's been here.
But it was still one killer set.



Great meeting a lot of you guys. Sorry I don't remember everyone, but Jem harder, Player 24-7, Lil Poonz girl, Katy, Stingray, TheVrK, RabbitJoker, Durafei, TranceChaos, StereoPrincess, PreppieChick, HouseConXion.
I know there were more...sorry if i forgot

First I'd like to thank you and rabbitjoker for IDing U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name" track remix for me. Hearing this track was certainly the best part of the evening for me at the Decadence party. I started getting really pumped because I was having my U2 concert flashbacks--If anyone's ever been to a U2 concert they'll know exactly what I'm talking about. When the fans just start to hear the opening notes to "Where the Streets Have No Name" the live crowd explodes into total mayhem. It is this very tune that creates the pinnacle of the evening for those amazing concerts in stadiums and arenas around the world. Personally, I feel no other U2 song heard live gets the crowd into the best vibe than this one!

I was in such a good mood when I heard this tune because it was only a week ago that I scored tickets to all 4 sold out concert shows for U2 in September. Fucken amazing seats I might add...

stuff of legends
this party was hands down one of the best guv has thrown ever...

Armin was gold...i loved his set...possibly his best ive heard him play.
Didnt see enough of coxy but really if it was anyone other than armin...there was no way i wouldve been able to leave that main room. The man was insanity

Add to the track list this tune, i believe it was track 2 or 3 that he played

Peter Martin - Simply Blue

I just finished reading this thread all 26 pages!!

I can't believe that I missed out on this.

Having been to Decadance I and II I'd definitely say that II was by far a better night. It was just the overall night that made it awesome for me: from the crowd, to the music, to the DJ I couldn't stop moving for alot of the night. I love dancing but usually when I'm at Guv or Systems I tend to be a social butterfly and just talk to everybody but on Thurs I found myself dancing non-stop from pretty much the moment I walked in to when I left.

I was able to catch a bit of Remy and Warren's set, they definitely started off my night on the right foot. What can I say about the man they call Cox except he is unfuckingbelievable. I remember being front in center in the Guv and that man was just dropping some awesome tracks, the ones that definitely did it for me was when he dropped Just Kick and Murder was the Bass. Being a house fan and all those songs I rarely hear anymore and when he dropped those tracks I just went completely nuts, my feet never moved so fast in my life. (And for those that know me, my feet move pretty damn quick when I'm in the groove)

Went back to KH around 6:30 to catch the last end of Armin's set and I never heard him drop more harder tracks than he did that night. Alot of you guys were saying that you didn't like all the techy shit he was playing but I for sure was loving it. The songs that blew my mind away that Armin dropped were Burn With Desire (love that song) and Need to Feel Loved.

Thanks to all the new TA's I might that night as I am new to the forum, it was great partying with you all. I met alot of TA's that night but the only ones that I could really remember are trancechaos, preppiechick, jem_hadar, stereoprincess, Shanny, endlesswave...sorry if I forgot anybody.

Till next time which will hopefully be soon

Wow just got through all the posts...can't believe you dedicated TAs were posting so soon after the event!!!!

I had to wait until I recovered (NOW!!!!)

Actually, walkindude and I left Decadence at 9 (after the whole coat check fiasco) to drive to Montreal...what a TRIPPIN experience!!!! Just blasted AVB, put it on cruise, and took off! Nothing like TRANCE for breakfast!!!!! LOL!

...wish we coulda stayed for Tiesto last night...

Like I said in the original Decadence II thread, I'm a totally new raver so I'm enjoying EVERYTHING, no complaints at all!!! But Decadence II has been the best so far because of all the TAs I met!!!!

Loca and Loconet....it was SURREAL soaking up AVB front row, right at the stage!!!! So nice to meet you guys; LOVED the signs!
There was another TA I remember, a TOTALLY RIPPED DUDE walking around without a t-shirt...can't remember his name.

Cam, EXCELLENT PICS!!!! Nice one of walkindude, his girl, and me. Very nice to meet you after at walkindude's place!

Can't wait till the next event: FERRY on APRIL 16!!!!!!!

P.S. DJ Celica, GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS AWESOME PIC!!!!
http://djcelica.soundonearth.com/armin3.jpg
I'm right there, front and centre!!!! If you look at the "V" frame next to AVB's left leg, you can see my goateed face, arm up, eyes fixed on the CHOSEN ONE!!!!! LOL!!!!! )))))))

Oh man, i CANNOT WAIT till I get to see Armin again... man, I know I just saw him on Thurs., but honestly, its already too long!

I wanna see him again already! His energy is so amazing! THE CHOSEN ONE owned me so hard on thurs. night!!!!

I cant believe I forgot to comment on this (well, it was bc I started to write the review sat. morning the second i got in, but then passed out. and so on sunday night I had just copy-pasted whut id written down before id passed out!)

Baki, you're da man! Thanks for having us TAs and non-TAs alike over! It was great times with old party amigos and newly made friends!! It was so good to meet some more TAs in such a chill and personal environment as ur pad. (Just wish id brought more freaking beer than only the 2 i thought id have time for... i could have kicked back AT LEAST 6 more... ah well )

And i think everyone who was there will agree that ur place an ideal location. So close to downtown and your room is so damn chill and nice!! Our sessions on thurs. night were awesome and it was just such a great way to start off the freakin' night!!!

Going back there on fri. morning was awesome too. Honeslty, nothing beats going back to ur place with some peps and just lying down (or in my case dancing around, i just coudlnt stop moving, i was still feeling the music man!!), soaking up some more chill music and reliving our highlights of the night. Its so good to spend the morning after a massive party with the ppl u rocked all night with!!

Good times before and after Decadence II!! Thanks brother...

and CHEERS! You know we all had a blast!

I wholeheartedly second that notion!

That remix that Armin played of Adagio for Strings could have been --- Tiesto - Adagio For Strings (DJ Danjo & Rob Styles Remix) --- Tiesto has been playing this himself as of late. Sounds similar but I'm not 100% sure.

Great event.
Came by the TOTA meetup looking for a few friends. Nice to see so many of you getting ready for the eve. Found my friends in the Guv bar area.

Armin was great. Thanks all for the track lists, I usually only remember 2 or 3 for the night. I will have to find them in sets so I can hear them again. Stayed till Armin was finished, loved his opening tracks and the ones at the end.

When I get the entire collection, I'll zip and set up a torrent.


Karim

Wow... finally i've recovered enough to make a reply.

What a night! I was extremely hyped before going, remembering how good Decadence I had been, and i was not disappointed at all!!

Walked into the KH at 11, place was still filling up, not too many people yet. We milled around for a little bit met a bunch of TAs (names to be mentioned in the shoutout), and started enjoying our night. DJ Remy did an awesome job, had never seen him before.

Met a whole bunch of TA's when Natalie and a bunch of others decided to go to the meetup. Kinda cool but i didn't know so many! I felt kinda old lol So we didn't hang out there too long. Went back on the dancefloor to tear it up to Nick Warren. Have to admit i was a little apprehensive... i thought he was going to be playing prog all night, but the guy was really awesome. I'd definitely go see him again!

On came NU NRG! And WOW! Even though i can't say i'm the biggest fan, those guys most definitely tore it up!!! I don't really know any of their tracks but i most definitely heard that Born Slippy teaser! Loved it! Towards the end though all i was waiting for was Armin... and finally he was there!!!

If there's any DJ i am likely to go see it is most definitely Armin. The guy never fails to deliver. At the beginning of his set though, Carlos and i thought we'd take a small trip to the Guv while Armin was warming up.

So off we go to the Guvernment. We get in there, the place is pretty packed but man! Carl Cox was laying down the most energetic set i've ever heard in my life! I'm no fan of techno, usually i think it's just way too hard, and the beats sound too repetitive, but Mr. Cox changed my mind! It was hard as hell to tear away from the Guv to get back to the Kool Haus!

Back to the KH we go, this time coming in i start noticing the ceiling is most definitely dripping sweat rain all over us, but who cares?! We manage to get a place right at the front of the stage next to fayraree and walkindude's girlfriend. Right at that moment, Yahel ft A-Force - Behind Silence! Tune!!! Up go our signs! Hahaha it was awesome, every time we go see Armin the signs are there as well hehe.
Highlight of the night for me though was most definitely hearing Burned with Desire! OMG!! I love that tune!!
Rest of the night was pretty much spent up front, after having gotten Armin to autograph my sign (as usual haha).
Unfortunately right around the second last track i started getting siezures from the damn strobe lights so had to hide out next to the doors while Armin dropped Smells like teen spirit and his encore!! ARGH!!!

Eventually he finished up, and as he was leaving, caught him on the way out and asked for a picture which he happily obliged to! Oh, and i'm grabbing an empty shirt in the pic... it's not like i have a death grip on him hahaha! He's such a great guy though, every time i've seen him i got a pic with him! Yay!

Shoutouts... wow! So many of you!
loconet of course (partying would not be the same without you ), tordan (partner in crime ), my non-TA crew!

People i hadn't yet met: Jem_Hadar (your friend Katy is awesome!), dancingqueen, karim (you are one TALL guy, holy shit!), fayraree, walkindude, amb_, house_conXion, MaxTO, VividBoy & RodRico (finally!!), dance2dabeat (with the wild flailing arms that hit my boyfriend... nice), Shanny, VERTiG0, Playa24_7, starsearcher, RobbyG., TFT-Productions, Spam, iliya (haha your face was priceless!!)...

That's all i can remember of the new faces... eek! I thought there were more... i may have forgotten some people!

As for the usuals, nice to see: Ub3rTrancer, preppie chick, stereoprincess, gamma, tatgirl, endlesswave, e2ekiel, rabbitjoker, trancechaos, samhouse, tully, charmscars and matt vagrant, irishgraham, the highroller, cono_sur, cereal3825 & his gf, partEgirl and probably many more but right now i'm blanking!

Night: 11/10
DJs: 10/10
Crowd: 10/10
