Dude what the hell are you talking about? Reread the reviews again. Scott was ANYTHING but dissapointing. Of course if you love prog and hate Trance, you won't like it. Personally I thought his set was as trancy as it gets.

Hey don't get me Wrong I love trance but from what I herd Scott wasn't mixing it as good as he should be, thats what brought alot of people that I know down. As for the music I'll bet it was Trancy

yah i saw a guy with a shirt wearing Tranceaddict, hehe i never went up him as i was unsure if he was one, and it was dark. I think i saw some of you othes, but was to shy to go up to see hey, may be next time.

Hybrid was ripping a >5 hour set! You should've come!

(Sorry, wrong thread, but I had to say it)

^^^Uhh, how can anyone that plays progressive 'rip' it up? The only DJ in the world that can play progressive proper is Sasha, everyone else aspires to play like him. Regardless, we were all told on Friday night that progressive killed Gatecrasher so much so that they had to go to a monthly and bring back the trance. Sure enough, Gatecrasher is rocking once again even though it's not 'kool' to listen to trance, right?. In theory progressive should work since it is very good music, however in practice it doesn't, period. And for all of those who will flame me for this: wait and see what will happen in Toronto.

Unfortunately I only arrived at Viva around 1:45am with Scott, itikia and Swamper therefore I cannot comment on Ivals's set, but I am pretty sure it was a good setup for Scott.

I think the first hour of Bond's set was sort of a build-up, with many well known anthems and the such. After that he played some harder new stuff that really got everyone going (I could see all the hands in the air from the booth). But after the hard stuff he went back to some anthems which I fealt didn't fit with the flow of his set. All in all it was very good music, however I believe the programming wasn't all there. He had spurts of brilliance throughout his set, however I fealt he lost the crowd at times with the massive 10 second breakdowns that were all too frequent throughout the set.

In my opinion I think his collegue Matt Hardwick played a much better set that had the 'magic' that really drives everyone nuts over the course of a night.

From what I heard, Scott will be back and likely as a tag team with someone else in the near future! A Gatecrasher event in Toronto sounds like a great idea and I believe Scott thinks it is also!

Next up: JOHAN GIELEN

For those who witnessed what this man did the last time he was at Viva will not miss this event that's for sure!

I think the prog heads posting in this thread are way uncalled for. You are totally giving all of us a bad fucking name.

Brunette...Scott Bond, what the fuck were you expecting?

I'll take Nat and Ilia's (sp?) word that he played a solid set. Cheers.

LOL, my name is probably the most misspelled name on TA
Even I don't know how to spell it properly. It's "Ilyia" in my passport, but essentially all other interpretations such "Ilya", "Ilia" and some others work too

what bad name? bud wtf are you talking about??

Lets keep this on topic it is a review of the Scott Bond thing, no need to get in to a prog vs trance war people, create another thread for that.

You guys are hi-jackin the reviews of this party by posting your own ignorant comments...

"Duh trance sucks, we should of went to system."

Yeah you should of. I'm one of "tribal dirty dark prog" heads, but I wouldn't go to this party expecting it to cater my needs. It's fucking Scott Bond. If you don't like trance, base you opinion of his set and the party on WHAT HE DOES. Not what you like.

A lot of the wars on this board (IMO) started when the uber trancers took over the digweed roll call, or the reviews of Deep Dish. When they had no business even looking at the thread if they were just gonna promote negativity. NOW a few of you are doing exactly this to poor Scott Bond, and thus giving the rest of us (said prog heads) a bad name.

Sheesh, I don't think anyone was trying to start a war here. Look:
1) I'm not a prog head at all, I listen to trance more than any other music (I was there on Feb 1, dude), I just happen to love Hybrid and I thought they did an excellent set that night.
2) I wasn't for a minute trying to say that Bond didn't do a solid set. How could I say that? I wasn't even there.
3) You're absolutely right Halo, prog heads shouldn't go to a trance set and complain about it. But honestly with a name like "trancegeek" (don't know about brunette) it's hard to believe that these people are prog heads. Maybe some of us aren't really sure whether or not we'll like a certain DJ's style until we actually see and hear them live... are we not allowed to express those feelings after the party? Isn't that what a review is for?
4) As stated, I was not at Bond either, but I hardly think you (who was not there, as implied by your quote) have any right to be bashing people who were there. This is a review thread, and they gave their reviews, they're entitled to give negative reviews as well as positive reviews.
5) What's with the cursing and personal insults?

And to MissQ: Hybrid isn't progressive. Dunno what that post was all about.

I don't even like progressive, but for some reason I feel like I was included in your insult. This whole argument is total nonsense, people have a right to be disappointed, even if other people were amazed!

You just did start that war.

Opinions are warrented, yes.

BUT not based on principles that they expected something which was NOT going to happen.

IE: Me going to see a Horror movie and expecting romance. And then saying it was garbage. You see?

Care to find the quote where anyone said they were expecting progressive music?

As for my credibility, you're entitled to your opinion, but I was AT Hybrid and even though it was a little less trancey than their production material, their main focus is the breakbeats (which to me, has nothing to do with progressive - do you understand what the word "progressive" means?)

Oops, my bad. I assumed Hybrid played strictly prog.

I have no idea idea what breakbeat is, however it sounds much more energetic than progressive.

How am I giving You -- and all the rest of prog heads on this board -- a bad name?? If anything, I am thankful to all those here who promoted progressive 'cause that was what made me switch. I saw Bond twice before and wasn't expecting him to spin anything other then trance. What I said was that I realized from this party that I just don't enjoy it anymore. I wasn't starting any wars, arguments or anything remotely close to that. And sure didn't expect someone who enjoys progressive to flame me for it.

PS And it's not should of, but should have.. and, yes, we should have went to System after all.

Miss Q, Hybrid is known for being diverse in all genres. Yes they play breaks, but to a breaks purist they are the furthest thing from that.

Hybrid (to anyone who knows what the fuck they are talking about) plays progressive. HOWEVER, this is a Scott Bond review. So lets please keep it to that.

Halo, you're unbelievable. I cannot understand why you are so rude to people who are only defending their beliefs and trying to be as polite as they can to you.

Evidently you'd rather flame people publicly on the board instead of responding to PMs, also. Suit yourself, I'll make sure to steer clear of you at the next party, because I've gotten a little tired of this junior-high put-people-down-to-feel-better-about-yourself attitude.

I think that every DJ (and every TA) has something to offer the scene and I will defend them as long as I am on this board. If people want me to stop posting because of that, then just say the word.

You people trippin' out large...

And for the record, Hybrid is more about breaks than progressive...

right because progressive only means house. I forgot.

Scott Bond played a great set. The tracks were good, and the place was jumping!
