Pages (9): « 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 »

Tiesto also played Push - Journey of Life

Last thing I'd like to say is, nice meeting new ppl, and nice seeing previously met ppl !

Shouts out to RnakR, fastmp3, Zing, Malek, Alec, DjNacht, Spoutnick, sorry if I forgot any of you, I have a very bad memory lol.

And of course, I shall add ARMIN VAN BUUREN to this list ! Didn't expect to meet him tho !

What an amazing night ! There's no words that come even close to describing it. It was a magical journey into trance on board flight 643 !

[QUOTE
And yeah, djing is only about signing lil pieces of paper and clapping hands at the crowd! I remember someone didn�t like Sasha just because he didn�t sign a magazine�� [/QUOTE]

No you're quoting me wrong. I gave him a mag, and I didn't care at the end, but he didn't interact at all with the crowd, how can a dj give a good set if he doens't know what the crowd is doing. Its a mix of both.

Ok, my review: Tiesto, was good, imo better than Armin, I enjoyed alot of his set, Armin, played too much Techno, I'm sure Zing told him to play harder! As for Guy, his mixing was great imo. And he played the best set, untl I was forced to leave by my companions. Got back in Ottawa around 2 PM, ughhh!

Bug Thanks to Armin, he's a really awesome guy, willing to take time off to talk with his fans! Thanks to David for helping organizing and Zing.

MOFO's!

I still want my Aria shirt, maybe next week?

Oh and Tiesto I think had the worst mixing, at least guy was using effects in his set, and I thought he was interacting with the crowd sufficiently!

Comon man, that's not true, Guy played a very nice set. The mixing was simple but precise. Armin's mixing style is also very simple. And anyway, there is no need to make life complicated there, as long as there is a musical progression,... anyway.. Tiesto was very often off beat too, and? its "TIESTO" right?

I think it's all about the music and not "crowd comunications".

Yes, more air please.






I showed up to Amir, only to find out that AVB just left. DOH!

I said hi to some girls at Amir (one of them was a TA?) and told them to keep me a spot in line at Aria. But we didn't need it! wuahahaha! The longest proccess wasn't getting thru security, but going through the front desk --they had to search for the names of peeps who pre-paid for tickets and picked them up at the desk. We waited about 10 minutes in all, but we got in.

When we got in the first thing I noticed was "man it's warm in here". Someone was playing some prog or something (which some of you know, it's just not my style). But Tiesto didn't take long to come on --he was the first dj I've seen at Aria that started on time. That was a nice bonus. :-)

Tiesto played some stuff that I thought was ok, nothing too special. I stood behind the dj booth watching him do his thing. I thought we were going to have another PVD incident on our hands when the sound went out! hahahaha. It looked like he was getting pissed! But suprisingly he was all happy and dancing and shit after the sound was put back up. Apparently some stupid woman pulled a cord somewhere to cause this?

Then some chicks came up to me and wanted to get to the window at the booth. So I grabbed one by the waist and showed her in. :-) Then gave her a flick of the ass :-) for good mesure. They thanked me, but I lost my spot at the front when the left. No biggy since I'm tall enough to see around most people.

Then some girl looked like she was all phased out or something came over to me and asked me if I was DJ Tiesto? I was thinking to myself I should have said yes, but I put my arm around her and directed her to where Tiesto was --in the DJ booth. ROFLMAO.

I was sweating like a mofo, and I saw alot of TA's sitting down during the Prog/tech-something-or-other- portion of Tiesto's set. So I went over to join them 'cuz my feet were getting tired. By this time my pants were getting wet and my t-shirt was completely soaked. I look over and I see Taha in his long sleeve shirt and he didn't even break a sweat yet? He probably did more moving around than I did, and I was sweating like I had just played 25 minutes in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Anyway, the best part of Tiesto's set was his 45 minute encore. It was so good, in fact, that I thought it was AVB spinning) Alot of good tunes in there, and it kept my fist pumping.

Then AVB came on and I was sweating like a MOFO!!!! I passed in and out of consciousness. Armin would keep dropping the occasional bomb and I'd wake up and pump the fist. I barely caught a glimpse of him, as I was still on the couch. I was scared to get up because a) I didn't want to lose my prime spot on the couch, and b) I honestly thought I was going to die of dehydration.


Then Guy came on. OMG that was good. That was the best part of the night. The crowed started clearing up. The heat was bareable as I found a huge-ass fan beside the dj booth. Guy was dropping bombs! OMG!!! Less heat, less people, and more trance. But I was sooo sleepy (lack of sleep over the past 3 days). I was pumping the fist, and nodding the head. Hell, I did more dancing in the first 45 mins of Guy's set than I did the rest of the night. But I was passing out while I was standing! My head was bobbing to the beat, then I'd pass out, then I'd wake up realizing that I was dreaming about something that I was nodding to (yes sir/ no sir). HAHAHA.



Conclusion:
There was the right number of people there -croweded but bearable. But it was too hot. Actually it was too FUCKING hot. D00d I think I lost 15 pounds in that sauna!
I didn't really enjoy myself that much (at least up until Guy came on) because of the heat. I would have been more active for sure had it been cooler. Guy was by far the best part of the night. I'd go to Aria just for Guy if he would play another set like that.


TUNE OF THE NIGHT: Laura Turner - Soul Deep (Signum Dub) from ASOT 100. Way to go Armin!!!

Really? Armin played techno... man, you really have to review what is the difference between trance and techno

all i can say is that i had a blast!!
sure the heat bothered me but what can you do...
tiesto was better than armin this time imo but you have to remember that tiesto played a lot of the tracks that armin would normally play so armin couldn't go on and play the same ones. he had to switch it up a little and i think he was awesome as well.
i only caught about an hour of guy's set, and from what i heard he was pretty good as well.

overall and amazing night, one not to be forgotten!! thank biggy for putting this together!!

i just stayed for the first hour of Guy's set and was disapointed compared to what he did back in november....should have been there man, he owned the place way more!

i dont know who said that guy had the best mixing skillz but damn....

he entered each and every tune wqay too quick and off beat

its true that tiesto was not perfect but guy was like a kid compare to armin and tiesto

IMO Tiesto was boooooooring before the sound cut , actually he got better after it

man i'm still pissed i missed Armin i just hope there's going to be some massive ventilation upgrades because as you all said there was the right amount of people (i've seen worse for Oakenfold) but there was a massive lack in the ventilation

i heard that the ac wasn't working at all. apparently it broke down the day before...

i don't think so Nick

funniest moment goes to Greg for the girl thinking he was Tiesto and Malek for telling STFU to that bitch

best moment : there was this girl sleeping on my arm for 45 minutes *wink wink* she was a hottie and she even tried to sing "as the rush comes" with us hahahaha

night rating 8/10
tiesto 10/10 <-- awesome, one of the best sets i heard him spin, he ended his set beautifully!

btw does anyone know the track he played before flight 643? or does anyone even remember lol... it had some really fucked up noises/synths going then a REALLY HEAVY bassline.

highlight of the night: coming back from the chillout room just when As the Rush Comes was mixing in... it was just my gf and i (everyone of my friends stayed upstairs) ... it was soo incredible... almost had tears in my eyes when it was played.!!

we left shortly after armin started his set... the heat got to us

one thing i regret is not going around meeting the fellow TA's, lol i came up from ottawa and my friend brought 4 sailer hats, so some of you probably remember them.

btw ... i wonder how pvd would react to the sound cut? concidering how he got all pissed off from one skip 2 months ago

After swearing very loud in german, PVD would end his set right there and leave!

armin also played the great tune by vincent de moor

Questia - Nexus Asia (he gave out the vinyl at the gathering) great tune

Dood, a few more minutes asleep and her tits would have been out of her shirt!!!

She was a cutie! And yes, that was hilarious when you guys were singing. She was all happy all of a sudden and tried to sing. ROFLMAO

ahahahahaha

where's alec ? i'm sure he wants to choke me cuz i kept on asking for hip hop or "techno music"

Amazing night, the heat wasn't that bad I found, but there was just such little air circulation that breathing became quite difficult.

Now I understand why Tiesto was ranked # 1 in the world. His set was, as my friend put it, "like a piece of art". It had such diversity with so many different styles. His mixing actually impressed me, except for 1 early on.

Armin tore up the club with massive trance stormers, anthem after anthem. His set was also amazing, but not as diverse or organized as tiesto's IMO.

And what's with all the shirtless muscle men? Some weren't even dancing, just flexing the entire night

Here's a couple songs I remember from the night that haven't been mentioned yet:

Tiesto:
DJ Ton t.b. - Electronic Malfunction
Nalin and Kane - Open your Eyes

EDIT:: Edited to add songs I later remembered and remove a track I mis-ID'd

Yeh I remember that one... But it wasn't his fault. CD skipped.

I dont have anything to add to all the reviews, just one minor correction to the tracklist.
AVB was the one who played C:/del*.mp3, not Tiesto.
