btw was oakey on some substance last night? me and my friends thought so.

wow, best night at guv in a while.... really impressed with oakenfold...although his mixing could still use some more practice....a little busy but i sorta dealt with it....... mark killed me after oakie.

air forces ones........... peaaaaaaace

i tried to write this earlier, when i got home at 5, but i couldnt long on to TA


Liquid Todd
---------------
was lack luster for most of the night, until the last 45min of his set. he started playing some tracks i loved...none of which i can actually ID ofcourse, cause im horrible at id'ing tracks. but i did take a small vid of some of the songs, so hopefully i can help after.

the energy really started to build in that last little bit, and it really transitioned well into oakey.


Oakenfold
-----------------
well what can i say? the man destroyed me! he played nice and hard, and with great mixing. he had been critized for his mixing as of late, but i think this set would put any of those doubts to rest. Many of the tracks in the first hour were already banged out by him in the last year or so, so the set was nice and familiar. Always nice to hear Southern Sun, and beautiful day, and i loved WORLD ON FIRE!

WAY OUT WEST - KILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant believe he played this!!!!!!!! my fav song at the momment.

The second hour, IMO was not as uplifting, and therefore was not as good. it was hard, and a consistant build, but i dont think it had the quality of the first hour. you may disagree with me, but thats how i felt.

8.5/10

Over all it was an absolutly great set, and he did very very well.

I danced sooo hard last night, and i was partying near those guys at the front with the tune signs, they were cool. it was packed, buti totally expected that. i was still able to dance, and the people were actually really nice. you got the pricks, but overall a great crowd who wanted to party.

all in all, i had a great night, and randomly met a TA who was up from Florida. he was having a great time, and said he loved partying in TO. his TA handle started with a G, but thats all i can remember.

hope everybody had a good night!

i have a video clip of every single song from his set, so we can ID them later. I need to find some place to host them so you guys can hear the songs, and watch the vids. cause i cant possibly ID the songs on my own.

Id just like to say, Oakenfold was brilliant, and it's sets like this, that make me come back to his music eventhough ppl say hes DONE.

NOT TRUE.

I've been saying Oakey is back ever since "Great Wall"

In my opinion, Tiesto would get pwned to fucken death by Oakey, that being said, even Oakey should have placed higher than Tiesto (eventhough the real winner shoulda been AVB).

GOOOOOOOO OAKENFOLD!!!!!!

MANNNNNNNNNNN!!! Waaaaattta nite!! I knew the minute he dropped traffic that this is gonna be a set to remember.... only bad thing was that the guv was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PACKED!!!!! I was at the drink frm like 11 til 2 after tryin to come down into the crowd once to enjoy Liquid Todd's set! The good thing is that they open the gallery so I saw the whole set frm up there!!!! SOOOOO WIKKID!!!! Oakenfold dropped all my favourites....

Vadim Zhukov - Nothing Matters
Tiesto - Traffic
Oakenfold - Southern Sun
Armin - Blue Fear (Been waitin a LOOOOONG time to hear it live )
Smith and Pledger - Believe 2004
Ferry Corsten - Sweet Sorry (The Thrillseekers remix)

THE WORKS!!! I was losin it and there was so much space up there that made the nite one of the best times ever!!!!! Manzone and Strong played some really funky tunes in the drink and the new renovations are quite impressive esp. that tiny VVVIP room Gotta get in there.... ENUFF Hot chix there too... I think more than i've ever seen at the Guv B4! I loved IT.... Can't wait until more info on Filo and Peri comes out.... I REALLY WANNA SEE EM SPin their own productions.... u don't get a lotta their kinda music in livesets nowadays! Hopefully it'll be another good time

I suspect Oakenfold was botched. But better botched and having fun than not-botched and putting on a poor show. I bet Oakie played @ 110% in MTL on Friday - partied all night and kept the buzz going to cope with the Saturday night gig.

The Oakie show was good (based on what to expect from The Oak): nothing but amazing tracks, fairly good programming, mixing good enough to keep the set moving (but no jedi-mind shit).

Was this Oakie on fire (a la '99)? IMO - no, but based on the last few years of The Oak's performances - it was pretty darn good.

I enjoyed the night, enjoyed the company - and finished off a weekend satisfied as can be.

Sour Note: The crowding inside the Guv was utterly dangerous. Stairways were obstructed by people sitting/sleeping on them, exits were blocked with "jams" of people trying to get from one place to the other.

I don't expect to have 3 sq. feet of space when I go to a club, but I shouldn't be tossed around like a pin-ball all night either. Boo on the guv!

I think thats his standard. Could have been worse and only been for 45 mins like what happened in detroit.

It's funny how the substance takers always wonder if the DJs are on substances and then get upset when they find out they are.

I find that quite ironic actually.

and as promised.....LOL .

I think Oakey looks awesome with longer hair

I don't like to bitch about a good night so after posting Boo #2 (#1 was crowd danger) I will stop:

Boo #2: SOUND SYSTEM.

I believe there were some technical problems with the sound system during Oakie's set. A little bit in to Oak's set I noticed the mids/low-mids drop out I saw Oakie looking around wondering the same thing.

All night I just wanted louder mids (the melodies in the mid-range didn't stand out enough).

knackered!

Paul Oakenfield should start doing shampoo commercials

Congats on a great party.

I wish I was there ...

I enjoyed Oakeys set last night but kinda went in there expecting 99 style. Crowd was intense but it was more the smell than the space that got to me. Being absolute sober and a new non-smoker with improved sense of smell wasnt the place for me.

i just want to drop a few hints to some with the below pics.

i was highly impressed..
theres a reason this man is a legend and we saw many flashes of it last night

Southern Sun
Boomerang
Blue Fear :O :O
Traffic :O :O
and sooo many others...

as for the crowding..honestly..it was oakey...did you expect any different????

Liquid Todd sucked the big banana...

we left early..around 6.15 or so...did mark REALLY play an hour past 7???????
NOW im pissed

There were sound problems with Oakie's set at Creamfields in Buenos Aires a few weeks ago. Could it be a trend?

yup mark played till 7:45 at least, he was still goin when we left.

Late night tracks:
dido - sand in my shoes....... figured it was last tune thou
your not alone.
carl cox - just kick.... with that added shit that mark throws on top...
open your eyes

hahahhahah ...

Good beats, but it was too hard to move in there.

I had a Great time.. Oakey was great I thought he was not going to be (from live sets ive heard from him this year) but he proved me wrong.I have to say tho if its ever that packed again I will not go. I drive from NY becuase I think the guv is one of the best clubs Ive been to but in the last couple times ive been there its to damn packed and the people seem to be getting ruder. They soulda just opend KH just to get the crowd spread out or something..

Also do they ever have both areas open becuase Ive only been there once when they have had the guv and KH open at the same time..

Happy Oakenfold!LOL!

Fun night! Good music, good vibe... danced pretty hard all night long, by 7 oclock it felt that my knees were gonna give in. The guv was obviously way too packed, but i managed, around 4ish (maybe?) the place started to clear up a bit, enough space to bust a move! Overall, it was an eventfull night, saw ppl that I was expecting to see at all... It was def worth checkin it out. Go Oakie!
