Im bringin you guys something special tonight in the cirque lounge, and hope you all will come check it out. See everyone later! The broadcast will be up also, and ill post links here for those who wanna tune in.

Thats what im sayin! HONESTLY in all my years playing at 1015 Ive NEVER had such a big guestlist!!! This night will be BIG!!!!

Like promised that was easily the BEST NIGHT I HAVE EVER HAD A 1015!

With a 400+ guestlist within seconds of opening the crowd rushed in and filled the WHOLE main room from front to back and left to right.

Thru ALL sets the crowd was chanting, jumping, dancing, singing and yelling-most wild crowd ever, even MORE than a PVD night! JOC stepped it up and ROCKED it and night became legendary!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, LAST NIGHT WAS FUCKIN AMAZING!

John Beaver's set was deplorable.

So u r new here and already talking shit on some of the most loved people on here....shut ur mouth and have some respect....noob
If u didn't like the set just say so...with respect.

Loving someone does not mean they can mix trance (i.e. hitting the cue button on the CDJ). There is much more involved. But you can go on loving who you love. It is simply a difference of opinion.

P.S. DEPLORABLE

Review J.O.C.

Last night was truly amazing. Thank you to Taj, and 1015 for allowing my new Dj crew Transcend Productions to host the Cirque Lounge!

I've looked for a group of Djs to start Transcend up again, and Niko, C-Kay, Nimerix, James Morrison and 4N did an awesome job. They all have been djin raves around the bay area, and rocked it the night before at Bass Jam with a packed room. Really great djs who promote parties, even ones they don't play. They definitely brought a younger audience to 1015, which is what I really hoped for their debut. Have to say, the Cirque Lounge was packed throughout the night with their supporters, and alot of people who came to 1015 for their first time last night. Really awesome to see that their friends, stayed in the room to support them throughout the night. Having done events and playin in that room, its pretty hard to fill, They had no problem in keeping it busy. Great Job guys. Everyone who came down thanks for rockin out!

I did arrive late 10:20 to be exact. Combined with John Beavers 400 Person Guestlist and Transcends combined list of 820, the guestlist line was down the corner, and past the Cheveron gas station! Honestly was not expecting all those people to show up, total shock when I got there and saw that line. I havent seen that line like that since Paul Oakenfold way back when. When the mainroom opened up, by 11:10PM it felt like it was 2:00AM. Overall feel was like a headliner was on when Beaver rocked his second track. Not from the music he was playin which was SPOT ON, but just the overall vibe of 1015 itself. Felt much later in the night and only like 10 minutes in. People tuning into the broadcast on mugasha shared the same excitement too.

JOC was awesome allowing us to broadcast his set last night along with the video. Looks like some of you tuned in which was way awesome. Thanks for those of you who tuned in on your computers, and iphones. Played an awesome 4 hour set, Haven't heard bangin trance like that in a long time!

In my honest opinion, John Beaver always rocks wherever he goes. I can say the night before he turned it up by filling the entire room to a crowd of supporters and ravers who stayed for his entire set at Bass Jam at Kelly's. I was actually happy not to follow up behind him, cause he is a hard act to follow. Definitely one of the hardest working Djs I know.

Last night was amazing from start to finish, and we hope you all had a great time. Really lookin forward to Ismael and Apsara next week tho, as I missed the Jonathan Allyn event last time, and when they did a Tag Team last.

+1 on TulliNation's comment.

Thanks for the opportunity to play at 1015! Such an amazing night. Beaver's set rocked btw!!!

Ah man. I had a great time playing last night. I opened up the Cirque Lounge and as soon as they started letting people in a crowd of people came through the room right away and rocked with me throughout my entire set. Great vibe.

I went up to see what Beaver was up to after my set only to find the entire upstairs packed and it was only 11:10. It was great to see the energy so high after only a few minutes.

Big big thanks to Taj, Blurr and the entire 1015 staff for the opportunity to throw down at 1015. And big ups to Niko Zografos, C-Kay, James Morrisonm Nimerix, and Blurr once again a.k.a our entire Transcend family including Alta and our other promoters. AMAZING NIGHT!

good night while the time i was there. just too much trance for me

is it cause he wasnt just mixing trance? were your trance pants not full enough? beaver's music selection for the most part isnt my cup of mushroom tea but he can def mix and throw in some prog, electro and remixes of pop songs into his sets well. although imo you have a bit more freedom with electro and remix of pop songs compared to the usual edm mixing esp when it comes to certain track's phrases. just like idm/electronica, they can be weird

What was "deplorable" about his set?

The night was amazing. Very bz event.

Dj crew with Transcend Productions in cirque did a wicked job!

hunnybare -- I think everyone could & would respect your opinion if it was just more constructive (reason behind the opinion). Lashing straight out isn't going to win a lot of people over. Maybe that doesn't bother you...but it's not going to help you at all! And don't worry about not agreeing with others. I disagree a lot and think everyone else is on crack half the time, lol.

BTW, I can't beleieve someone pulled the noob card as a reponse. *sigh* hehe.

I must disagree with you. John Beaver, is an awesome DJ. His skills to read the crowd and feed of from the energy of the crowd is a talent. You will never see John just standing behind the decks, looking through his cd's, and not acknowledging the crowd. He always gives his 100% and you can tell that his love for the music goes deep in his soul. He will sing, jump, and scream. There is never a dull moment with him.

I was not there this past saturday, but did watched and listen to his set on mugasha, and even on video, you could see John singing the lyrics and jumping all over the booth. Not just "hitting the cue button". Anyhow, your opinion is valued here, but you would have to give more of opinion, instead of just one word "deplorable".

Oh dear, this is prob gonna turn into some debate with people where people are going to say things "in general" and people will start taking it personally.

I don't feel like writing essay replies today...so hopefully this doesn't really go anywhere.

was just curious on the persons "opinion."

there might be more underlining truth to who that person actually is & what there motovations are.

stop it! I think that staying at that hotel in SF might be getting to you.. Wasn't it call Drama Queen or something...

Edit: My bad I think that it was Diva! haha sorry

Yep, I know. But hopefully not. Hopefully there's substance to add to his "deplorable" impression.

lol, what does that have to do with anything.

We are potentially discussing an opening set. Everyone knows me knows that I think the opening set is the most important set ofthe night. It sets up the headliner, the mood. It requires intelligence in constructing a proper set to lead into the headliner and not just playing what you want. It also a side-impression you will have of the night.

Example: A headliner can be amazing on his own, but you don't hear of many insanely memorable nights where the opener wasn't someone worth pointing out and made the night and the progression better as a whole. Where you almost want to say that the headliner played as well because the opener set him up so well.

An opener could even really have the attention of the crowd, but it's not about his or her set. It's about aligning things up to make the whole night amazing with great progression. Openers fail in this area a lot too.

I strongly believe that some of the best headliners really do feed off the opener and whether or not the opener does an apporpriate job can greatly impact on how well the headliner and everyone else does.

An opener...crap...see, it's starting! Thanks a lotl.

I'll just put Devin down for nap right now to stop.

LOL this is funny! Thank you all for the support but Im not too worried about this!

One thing Ive learned over the years is everyone has different tastes and style preferences so you cant make everyone happy. Plain & simple and its going to happen to all of us as djs/producers as often as we are in the spotlight.

Like Rizo said I myself tend to play across many genres when I perform just to keep things moving and interesting. I also come from a indie/rock background so I do tend to play some underground rock rmx stuff once in a while (i.e. played a oasis and ellie goulding rmx during my set)

All in all for me its about having fun and enjoying myself while I am up there playing as most of you see and know. Im just glad 95% of the time the crowd is right there with me giving the love and energy right back to me!

P.S. Hunnybare is right about one thing thou-all these years Ive been mixing and cueing my records wrong. I just realized that ALL the top djs in the world have been cueing the records with their pinky finger and I have been using my pointer finger all this time. This must be a big factor to my errors and I will be sure to fix this problem as soon as possible so I can be right back at the top of my game again. Sorry to everyone for slipping on such a crucial technique and hope you all will give me a second shot!

rock remixes...opening.

I didn't hear it, but reading that could worry me. I'm just too tired to care right now!!

Guess it might just be your lucky day.

Can you post the track name and who did that Oasis remix. It was fucking sick. It was Wonderwall but who remixed it.

Stuff like this Dave-dope ass prog! I actually played this one

Yeah, that's nice stuff!

Just don't ever pop up a smells like teen spirit remix as an opener.
