-- your club year in review...
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »
I just got into partyin a couple months ago but so far i have seen....
Paul Van Dyk
Gabriel & Dresden
Markus Schulz
--Out of all those parties Markus Schulz tore the house down at Spirit. Absolutely amazing.
Off topic (im sorry guys) What would you rate M.I.K.E. live?Ive been dyin to see him but never got around to it. Also whatd you guys think of Oakenfold?Im goin to see him NYE at Avalon and want to know if the seventy-five dollar tickets are worth it?Sandra Collins is opening and closing from what i understand but i can be very wrong.
Hmm, this year I have seen the likes of:
Tiesto @The Docks in June
Armin Van Buuren 3 times
Blank and Jones @Labour of Love
Above and Beyond in July
Marcel Woods @Viva a few weeks ago
Infected Mushroom
Carl Cox @Guvernment
Only ones who really murdered their sets were Blank and Jones as well as Above and Beyond.
Best Song of 2005 by far: Markus' Without You Near-->Just can't get sick of this song.

Nick Warren - the club was overcrowded, i didn't quite like the music
Luke Fair - Really focused on mixing, not interacting with the crowd that much but still he totaly rocked, amazing party, too little people tho (but just a bit)
James Zabiela - Absolutely rocked the place, and i was totaly sober, great guy
Desyn Masiello - Another great party, he played a lot of his essential mixes tunes, great guy, really fun to talk to
Dany Howells - spinning on a beach+ great weather+ great place+ amazing music+ great people+ great man+ great interaction+ great afterparty on a beach = the party of my life
Anthony Pappa - terrific technician, i liked the music, and a really nice man
Desyn Masiello (again) this time not so good - definately his off night
Sander Klinenberg - Nice ! i had a great time, nice interaction, but left early, i had no time to talk to him
Jonathan Lisle - Amazing Technicaly (plays on 6 decks !!) great tunes, amazing party, very cool guy, cares enough about the people he talks to, he always asks their name, very polite and down to earth, crazy partier (he even wanted go to an afterparty with the ppl who stayed till the end, which didn't happen cause of the party that was the next day), he said this (poland) was his fav place to play
Yunus Guvnen - it was the day after Lisle and i was preety sick that day, still i enjoyed his really hard but cool music. Nice guy, nice interaction
+ countless local DJs
prospects for the begining of next year : Meat Katie, Adam Freeland and Nic Fanciulli Bitchez!!!!
has been a pretty good clubbing year. Been to slinky probably once or twice a month, got to Global Gathering and the highlight was Dance Valley, Paul van Dyk finishing on the main stage was awesome.
Too many djs to mention but one's that stood out.
Paul van Dyk
Sander van Doorn
Randy Katana
Adam Sheridan
Eddie Halliwell
Les Hemstock
Graham Gold
Pete Tong
Pendulum
Infected Mushroom
Hybrid
Desyn Masimillo
Dave Clarke
poorer peformances
Tiesto wasnt up to much at Global
Reece Elliot: more train wrecks at Wildchild
Above and Beyond: too much girly vocals, appauling live performance at Global
A whole load of Hardcore djs i had the misfortune to see
a fair load of trance mediocracy

ok i can't believe i forgot sander on my list...he was really good...we had a blast...
and i guess technically we were there for Above & Beyond, but we left after nic fanciuli's set 
this year i've seen...
Gabriel & Dresden (twice)
Eddie Halliwell
James Holden
Luke Fair
Armin Van Buuren
Ferry Corsten
Paul Oakenfold
Hernan Cattaneo
Sharam from Deep Dish
Junkie XL
Kenneth Thomas
Lee Burridge
Above & Beyond
Second Sun
Matthew Dekay
Chus & Ceballos
Steve Lawler
and probably more but i can't remember... my top nights were as follows:
1. Paul Oakenfold, Hernan Cattaneo, & Sharam @ The Rave, Milwaukee - for the atmosphere and the nights events, alone. The Rave is typically a terrible venue with terrible sound, and when we walked in i was shocked... i think the first thing i said was "this is NOT Milwaukee!" heh... i have never seen such an insane and pumped up crowd in Milwaukee for a show like that. everything about this night was perfect, even if Oakey wrecked a few times, lol.
2. Lee Burridge & Mazi @ Vision (and afters), Chicago - Mazi is always great and it was my first time seeing Lee... his set @ Vision was great but his set at afters was just FILTHY!!
3. Matthew Dekay and Chus & Ceballos @ Vision, Chicago - this show made me into a huuuuuuge Dekay fan.
4. Rob Turner, Tyler C, & DJ Lucas @ The Encore, Stevens Point - i didn't include these guys on my list since i was trying to just focus on "big-name" DJs that everyone knows... but this was an amazing night as well, and i love the MWTA DJs!

Righ now I'm living in an area pretty much far from everything so didn't see that much at all compared to the usual.
Sander K + Astro & Glyde Nyc Crobar 1st of january my last night in New York before I left the country
Otherwise this was mostly in Zurich in Switzerland:
Mazi
Nukem ( resident over there so I saw him several times )
John Digweed
James Holden
Nathan Fake
The Glimmers
Felix da Housecat
Telepopmusik ( live act and wow it blew my mind! )
Pete Heller ( whom I wnated to see for a veryyyyyyy long time )
Steve Lawler
Roger Sanchez
Hernan Cattaneo
Eric Prydz
Jeff Bennett ( much respect for this long time producer )
I think that's pretty much it.
All in all a quality year and didn't over party by any means. Could have partied more but going out in Switzerland is a wee bit expensive and I'm usually lazy to go out these days.
Years favorite would have to be between Astro & Glyde opening for Sander K ( east coast openers do it better then anyone else ! ). Really liked the other nights but they didn't affect me that much and I had already seen several of these djs in the past already.
Ps: I did pretty much all these parties solo.
Looking forward to seeing Carl Craig Derrick May and Layo & Bushwacka in january.
