I heard the message on my friends answering machine, from me calling her so many times.....Kind of muffled but you can hear just how crazy it was.

above and beyond were amazing, better than most other top djs ive heard, i.e. avb, tiesto. Anyway good tunes include Jonas Steur - Silent Waves,
David West Feat Andreas Herman - Larry Mountains 54 (Original Mix), and of course the classics listed in this thread....

Great Party, considering I wasn't even planning to go to that party.

Above & Beyond played an incredible trance set. Unfortunately I had to enjoy it from the patio, since Guv was just way too packed until the end of their set.

A little dissapointed that A&B only played for 3 hours. With 2(or maybe even 3) guys that should be able to play a longer set.

Despite all that, I'm very happy I came out: Trance that A&B blessed us with is is not heard very often these days.

they were supposed to play 3 hrs, but they actually played almost 4!
so thank them!

Insane set!!! i have to say these guys never disappoint!!!

As usual i never meet up with the TAs...but i did find gecko, Ken and some girl who pireced her tounge... sick!

It's a start!

Review to come later...

Wow!
I had a great night. Above and Beyond were really great !
I didnt bring my camera so no pictures, thats ok though. They blew me away . Place was rammed like crazy (as I knew it would be ) but it got a little better around 3ish.

Got to party with a couple of old friends which was awesome! Never would i have imagined doing that with them.

Thanks seelos!

Quickly introduced myself to someone..forget what her ta name was but i think she said her real name was Tracy.
Nice to quickly meet you.

Maybe next time Ill meet some more Ta's.

Amazing night.

Oh yeah. Oliver was dropping some awesome tracks aswell . Cant forget that. He always impresses!

Just got home. What can I say about Above and Beyond? They were speechless. Fortunately, I had a chance to catch Jono and Pavvo after the set. I got their autograph!!!! I can't remember how I was at the Guv. But I think I was probably out of my mind(not being a psycho). I just am like that when I am so excited. I can't even think what to say. Good nite/morning/afternoon!!!

Finally I'm home.

What an amazing night. Above and Beyond completely blew me away. I just couldn't stop dancing. Definately one of my best sets I've heard.

Got there early, at around 10:30-11:00. Mark Oliver really impressed me. When Above and Beyond opened, I went mental, and didnt stop until we left at 6:30. Went home, had a shower, then hit up CZ for Deko-ze

Definately a night to remember.

What a nite!!!!!!

Started off the evening attending a stag for a workmate of mine. Chilled, played pool, slipped out very quietly then went to Guv. I brought a friend of mine to celebrate his 23rd birthday...I swear he picked up some chick within 10 mins of us gettin there then I didnt see him all night LOL


Got in around 12ish. Already quite a crowd and a big ol' gang of TAs. Excellent to meet alot of new faces! Even better to see the regulars!! Mark Oliver for once actually got me groovin. (he usually doesnt do it for me)

Then there was Above & Beyond...
WOW!!!

Talk about a no nonsence set! They kicked my ass all the way till next Tuesday!! I really enjoyed them.
Mark did a good job closing the place. But by then I was dead on my feet anyway...

Stayed till the end with super sore legs and drove LKD home.


And here's the kick in the ass...no more than 500m from my house I got a speeding ticket! UGH!!!!!!!


Pix up soon guys!!

Glad to see everyone had a blast!!

wtf!!!!!!!!!!

^^yes tis true

The cop was so nice though!!!

She clocked me doing 25 over (3 points ahhhhhh ) but droped it to 10 over (0 points yaaaaaay )


She wanted to give me the breathalizer too, but it wasnt in her car.

This was an unbeleivable night. I felt the energy and great atmosphere in the club as soon as i walked in. Unfortunately i missed Oliver's set, although i heard it was phat, but Above and Beyond took me aove and beyond my wildest expectations. Holy Fuck. I tried to leave around 5, but they just had to play Adagio...forget about it. The music would not let u leave. Unbeleivable. TA's were representing all over. I couldn't beleive how many amazing songs they played. People were going nuts in the patio. This party put Tiesto to shame. It made my summer!!!

First time for me with Above and Beyond, and all I gotta say is wow these guys are good. I met a bunch of people, clublifexxx, billche (i forget if he posts here)... I was quickly introduced to fayraree and then didnt see him again the whole night, got introduced to like 2 other chris', not sure if they post here or not and a bunch of people but I suck at putting faces and names to screen names here so who knows!

But god damn I had a good time.

wow Wow WOW

Best time ever.

OMG...Wow. I had soo much fun! One of the highligts of my night was listenin to all the TA's singing Oceanlab - Satellite. Everyone had huge smiles on their faces and were singing so loud! haha! That was friggin awesome.

Above & Beyond....what can I say that hasn't been already said. They were AMAZING! Wikked trance set. Loved it so much.

I can't believe how many TA's were there!! I got to meet a lot of new people but by reading the reviews, I realize there are still tons I haven't met that were like right in front of me! Oh well. In due time. I DO remember meeting, Jem_hadar (wikked hugs, dude..hehe), VERTiGO (about time, eh? sorry you were so tired ), Karim (holy shite you're tall, taller than i thought, haha), MaxTO (awesome time dancin with ya!), Lisa Loo (so cute!), Irishaddict (super nice girl), Chanoa (ANOTHER super nice girl), FAYRAREE (yay! finally! Thx for fillin up my water bottle, ur soo nice! ), Jer. (thanks for the "almost" ride, haha), DJ Ampz, Theresa, MagikB, illnada, gekO, Spyder (thx for "taggin me" haha)...Sorry! I know theres more! If I remember later on, I'll be sure to post and say hey!

Wikked times with the people I've already met, cono_sur (yes! I'm glad we FINALLY have a pic together! awesome partying with you!), Endlesswave (sorry you had to leave early good to see you!), preppiechick (we didn't even get to chat! booo! ),
Tordan (we were dancing mofo's! haha), Chinaman (where'd you go??), Cuzo (awesome energy..haha, I love dancin around you!), again, I know theres more...I suck! Sorry guys if I missed you. I had an amazing time with ALL of you!

LKD?? WTF? You were there?! FACK! I missed you!

Special thanks to Aaron (DJ Celica), I owe you so much for bringing me to this and taking care of me the last 2 days. I'm so glad I finally got to meet you! Friggin crazy times. Alicia (Awishabear), awesome to meet you, girl! I had an awesome time with you. We'll be seein a lot more of eachother I'm sure. And my little Danny boy (Playa24_7). I friggin love you, Dan. You have this energy about you that people can't HELP but love you. We had the best night together. It was so nice hanging out with you guys the past 2 days. Remember, anytime you're up for a road trip, Dan, you know who to call.

I hope I can make it out more often than once every 3 months!!! I *heart* TOTA's! We totally owned the front stage!

Oh yeah! And God Bless (I think someone said that already) the "Hard nipple" machine! It was so refreshing!

Josh the wizard! He can put Gandolf to shame!


Enjoy...

Since I missed A&B's set last time they were in town I could not wait to see them live @ Guv. And WOW... what a mind-blowing set it was! Beautiful Together, Satellite, Shivers, Find, No one on Earth, just some of the tracks dropped in their 3-4 hour set.

I spent a lot of time on the stage, under the DJ booth & on the patio... man, the place was swarming with TAs! It's always a pleasure seeing their smiley faces. Eveyone was dancing their asses off... what a night!!

Met a bunch of TAs for the first time, shoutouts to you all: *~LiSa-LoO~*, Beba, Blue, house_conXion, KKEFKA, niveole, Orko, Porky, Stingray, SonjaDanceDance & MidnightClubber... hopefully I didn't miss anyone.

Spyder.. you pulled it off!! The caution tape was great. Good job.

Nada, it was awesome dancing beside you on stage. You got some insane energy!!

LKD, Katherine & MidnightClubber, loved hanging out with you guys on the patio. Many laughs!!

Took a couple of vids inside but all the pics were on the patio. Here they are:

nice hair LKD:

went to my parents place thursday night to get the car (WOOT!) and picked up Ang (vickyvale). We went to cambridge to chill with Dan for the evening then took off to Viva to catch Tygon's solo set (AMAZING!). Came back and crashed at my place and then picked up Alicia (awishabear) and hung out again with Dan the next day spinning some records in his basement! the 4 of us then headed to Guv for the long awaited night of the weekend...

Had to pay to get in, even though we were on a guestlist for free admission...i had to cover Dan's admission too! The door bouncers are honestly fucking pricks and dont give two shits about anyone that is in line waiting to have a good time. Sorry to use the harsh words but that is honestly the reality of that place. I was given a ticket and told its for my group but the second set of bouncers wouldnt let the group in. I went back to tell the first bouncer that the other ones wouldnt let us in and he gave me a hard time (fuck you!) so then i went back, covered dan's admission and when i went to go in, the second set of bouncers stopped me and asked me for a ticket (i already fucking gave them a ticket and they wanted me to pay again!!!! FUCK YOU GUVERNMENT!!!)

when we FINALLY got in, we headed straight for the TA meeting spot! Agitated by the asshole Guv staff, i tried to calm myself down for the first half hour of being in there.

im not doin the whole shoutout thing lol cuz there was WAY too many people i had met for the first time!

Robben and I had to create a make-shift wall to protect SgtFoo's g/f from being harrassed by this fucking cracked head who would not stop dancing infront of her and in her face. After a good 20 min he decided to move on elsewhere.

JONO and PAAVO: WHY DIDN'T YOU PLAY VOLUME 1?????????

Highlights of the night:
- HARDNIPPLES premiering at the Guv for the first time! Fogged that place riiiight up!!
- someone mistook me for DJ ampz cuz of my shirt
- some crackhead old asian lady doing aerobics where the TAs were hangin out
- Barry greeting me: "hey, nice shirt, wanna fuck?" (you crackhead lol)
- Mark Oliver ripping up the place before A&B
- Alicia "winning" an Anjunabeats record
- 4 people asking me at once to take pictures of their group (i felt special for a brief moment)
- Eye Wall = Bad Deal (DJ Remy & Roland Klinkenberg Remix)
- Manny Romero = Compadre (SVD Remix) vs HARDNIPPLES
- Jono taking a pic of me and another TA (shit i forget your name!!)
- Theresa dancing like a go-go dancer next to the sub-woofer
- $6 for a can of Red Bull?? FUCK THAT!
- speeding with Irishaddict on the Gardiner Expy

TAs: 10/10
Music: 10/10
Atmosphere: 8/10
Guv Bouncers: 0/10 (fuck you!!)


ANNNNNNND:

VICKYVALE I AM SO GLAD I FINALLY GOT TO MEET YOU AND PARTY IT UP (TWICE) WITH YOU THIS WEEKEND!!!










ps if i think of more i will add it...also the pics will be up soon!

Simply awesome!!! Above & Beyond were everything I expected. They really do need to be here more often than once every couple of years. Maybe next time they'll be in the KH. The "ice blasting" machine was just INSANE - very nice addition!

And how about the TA vibe in front of the dj booth??? Craziness!
It was great partying it up with everyone again! Great seeing all the usuals, you know who you are, as well as meeting some new peeps.

vickyvale - awesome seeing you again after SOOO long!!

'Til next time...

Originally posted by bobbybrasz Holy..wat an insane evening...you guys are all insane..i fuckin love it....thank you.and you..thank you...umm..you,...yep you too...thank you.and you........thank all of you....Thats the kinda night that gets me all started into coming out more often..Damn..i mean sweet....

YOU YOU YOU..omigod rob brasz..thats was the biggest shocker of the night for me too..we should round up more of the guido crew and hit it up.

then again, on second though..maybe thats NOT such a great idea. lets leave the crazy dutch crew behind..i don't think they'd be much fun

review:

A&B were good..so many tunes kept me on the dancefloor (but thats not hard) and so many put a smile on my face. the enrgy was phenomeonal..when i dared venture into the centre of the guv, i loved looking at the dj booth and seeing them go as buckwild as we all were. its a shame they weren't in the koolhaus on the stage.

Mark O..i've become obsessed..open your eyes..u won me over with that track (and with the concern about my health) I danced so hard his closing set, i thought i was gonna keel over the second i stopped out of sheer exhaustion..and andain "beautiful things" for encore..made my night..i was so happy i was bursting

The Guv..the heat was unbearable..this is the closest i've ever been to passing out due to heat. The nitro shit was amazing. i kept thinking someone was gonna fall off the stage when they were blinded by the fog. My drama of the night..my asthma was ruining me and silly me left the puffer in the car. Carney (thanks AGAIN) and i went to the bouncer to ask if one of us could grab it (i was full out wheezing and panicking =hyperventilating by this point and the stupid bouncer said no..cuz i was faking it!! finally another bouncer came and took me to the paramedics and let carney grab the puffer (theres some fuct up ppl in that room) but all the peeps back there were nice

Shoutouts:

damn this list is too long, so i'm gonna minus a huge chunk..

jamie/lars..its been too long..lets never be seperate again
fayaree..u were awesome to party with. the hype about u was all true too and yer cold towel was amazing
lisaloo/shanny..all yer crew..some crazy moves on the dancefloor last night

and of course..the regs..danielle and shannon..once again u guys rock for all the pre-post parties..carney..i owe u big..heather, pett, josh, tj, sheldon, james and ben

everyone else always gets a shoutout..and i'm tired and need to go to bed

thnx for a wicked night
