1 reason why it may have been dead around 5 may be the fact that everyone is trying to get on the terrace.

The way Flo made it feel was that it was dead, but looking at the videos it looks pretty packed. However, it is first pumping, jump up and down trance when you can be upstairs with a lower beat per minute where you can dance and move your whole body a lil more.

I actually had both passes, went upstairs before pvd played and PATRICK M was playing, the terrace was pretty empty...headed back upstairs around 4am for like 5mins, pretty packed but whoever was DJing sucked, cause no one was dancing everyone was kind of just standing around, and I asked a couple of friends and said the vibe was like that the entire night.

It seemed pretty damn packed downstairs to me for as long as PVD was there, but I was at the front the entire time. He finished at 5 and I went up to the Terrace. The line to get up there wasn't too bad honestly.

Shame on space for going cheap and not using LN2 (liquid nitrogen) anymore, they use the much cheaper co2. Club space basically pioneered the cryogenics usage in the US. I noticed back in December for pvd they were using co2 as well.

From my girls point of view, the co2 is much better since it dissipates much quicker so she wont get accosted as much during the blast.

to clarify... pvd came on at 1:45 and played until 5:15. it was super packed when pvd first came on and remained this way for the first hour and a half of his set. but after pvd started playing lots of vocals with long breakdowns the crowd started to die. it ate up like 3-4 of those kinda tracks, but then dissipated. by 4 it was really easy to move around. it may have looked packed and people were def still there, but you can always tell how packed space really is by how difficult it is to move around. it was too easy, so space wasnt really that packed anymore.

and most of my videos were taken earlier in the night. thats why they sound banging and it looks more packed.

I was just glad they had something to cool the club down a la Amnesia in Ibiza. Their Megatron/ice cannon is the best bar none.

From my friend's POV, the co2 was cold as hell for her and I had to warm her up as that thing was relentless at the front and nearly froze her solid while dancing haha! I grabbed her to keep her away from certain drunk people too haha!

Glad to hear that PVD only started at 1:45 so I didn't miss too much of him as I got there around 2. I thought the crowd was perfect throughout the night so super packed or not, it was just right

Did they make you exit and come back in, or could you hand your pass to someone on the stairs/wristband? How'd it work? Was anyone allowed to go upstairs?

Anyone w/ both passes could easily access both upstairs and downstairs. People with terrace passes had to enter through the back of Space, not the main room. I was able to go up to the terrace and back down to main room with no problem, as to handing down your wristbands to someone else I'm sure there was a way, but it was the cheap paper wristbands lol.

And was it just me or was the main room hotter then usual? I know VIP in main room is always freezing, but damn it was just too hot that night, and I know for sure the air was not full blast like they usually have it. I felt like I was stuck in a sauna.

I had the combo pass also. It made it sooooooo easy to go back and forth! It was just a paper wristband (purple) that you showed at the stairs to be able to go from main room to terrace and back. They weren't letting anyone else up all night from the inside. I jumped up to the terrace at the very beginning to get some fresh air before PVD. Then I headed back down and caught the last bit of Edgar V. It was good, but not great. Took the tech guys forever to set things up for PVD. In fact, they had problems all night from what I remember. As previously mentioned, PVD did not disappoint. Started out banging, kept it going for a while, sprinkled in a little fluff, but kept the energy up afterwards. All in all, a great time. I thought it was especially nice all the extra room inside space. The back part was previously VIP last year, but was all open this year, as was the raised spot directly behind the dance floor.

Immediately after PVD finished, I rushed up to the terrace, barely breaking stride as they checked my wristband. I wanted to avoid any type of clusterf*ck that might accumulate near the stairs. My plan was to have a drink or two and just stay for a little bit. I wanted to catch some Dirty South, but he went on much earlier. I don't know about the vibe the rest of the night, but when I got up there the place was going off! Benassi was finishing up, and the crowd was loving it. Eventually Morillo got on (fantastic), followed later by Angello (kept the vibe going nicely). Needless to say, I stayed for a little longer than "a bit", limping out shortly after noon.

I think they were having issues w/ the mist on the terrace... I was up there Thursday/Friday morning for Viva vs. Cadenza. They tried... i'd say about 8 times to spray that stuff & nothing was coming out.. just lots of air. They eventually got it working tho. Also, I think only certain people have access to use the mist machine (not sure if it's key activated or whatever) so it's up to their discretion.
