| Originally posted by Cribby Couldn't have asked for more on Saturday. 4 am Satoshi Tomiie was headlining, but it sounded more like a concert for demons from hell rather than a set. That's a good thing BTW. lol. This was my first time experiencing Godzilla's wrath, and I think I lost against the battle...more like...I died..many times...and became undead. He took the set to extremely bizarre levels than I was expecting. I knew he'd play dark and deep progressive house, judging by his productions/remixes and sets from this year. We were all wrong. Saying it was a mindfuck is an understatement! It was WTFOMGHOWWHY?! He mixing was godly; Alot of the time, he was mixing in the tracks without the use of headphones. That's pretty damn impressive! He started off the first 2 hours of his set with the most deep and dark progressive I've ever heard. It was slow, deadly, and totally unpredictable. They were a step above ambient, with some minimal aspects keeping it danceable. Waiting for the breakdown after the climax was like waiting for lightning to strike. You wouldn't know when and where it would happen. I really liked that. I gave it my all, and danced to the sounds of the nocturnal ritual. The crowd was too, but many of them were too dazed and confused...they didn't know how to react to the slow deathly music. Haha, awesome. The soundsamples for almost every song were like 'whoa!' Many times throughout the night, Steve and I would go up to each other and be like "Holy shit!", or "Wow...what a mindfuck." From 6 am on, Satoshi brought it up a notch by playing more upbeat minimal prog, and prog with more depth and melody...some tech house too  This got the half-dead crowd to move their asses. They were pleased, but I was already smiling from before. Still, he managed to play the most evil music I've encountered. At one point, he played this one tune that sounded like a nightmare and I felt the way I did when Digweed played a similar song at Labour of Love: My hairs jumped from my skin, my eyes widened, my teeth grinded, and my body was shaking. The melody was so haunting, I felt like I was undead, travelling in the depths of a lifeless world. I moved like a zombie on ecstasy, manipulating my arms and legs into the casting procedures for a wizard's spell. LOL! Ok..I sound like a nerd now...but how else could I describe it?! I MUST have this tune! Unfortunately, I could not ID this or most of the tracks, but I did catch a few, including the song he played right after that one...it sounded like the crossing of hell into purgatory...making it's way into heaven. Holy fuck! |

What a fucking party... I'm still recovering. When Satoshi finally left the decks at 9:50 or so, there were about thirty soldiers left on the dance floor. Bass heavier than lead and thicker than Irish oatmeal. I loved the groovy, gloopy bubbling gravy effects he threw in from time to time. Flawless mixing (well, one tiny little flaw--scratched CD? amazing split-second recovery, though). He wove a howling, flowing, twisted melodic dreamscape that picked me up and carried me like seafoam on the crest of a wave. At around 7:30am, my boyfriend said, "I'm not leaving until they kick me out"; When Satoshi packed it in and we finally washed up wrecked on the dry, silent shores of nearly ten in the morning, it became apparent that our sentiment was shared. One guy actually sat down in the middle of the floor under the disco ball in protest (kudos if you read this, dude).
There was this amazing vibe the whole night... everyone seemed to be getting along nicely, and the eye candy was great. Very mixed crowd, which was nice to see.
And yes, it was the single best set I've ever heard from Shawn Miller. My problem with his sets isn't the track selection, which I don't necessarily think changes *that* much depending on who he's opening. The difference was that on Saturday, his set actually had shape and flow, leading from idea to idea, bringing the crowd up and down a bit, where in the past, I feel like I'm being subjected to some kid's record collection: "Oooh, I like this song! and this one! and this one!" Maybe I'm not being sensitive enough to his work, but when you play a long, repetitive progressive track, in my mind, you're supposed to fuck around with the levels and effects to make it interesting and powerful, which I find he often neglects. On Saturday, he nailed it, and it set up the night even more. Amazing amazing amazing... Best party in a long time.

| Originally posted by magikb I am sorry Tara  I was in bed for most of the night and all day Sunday. I slept for a solid 18 hours straight almost with waking up a couple of times for a max of 10 min. I haven't been feeling well at all and I didn't want to go out and party all night cuz if I get sick for this coming weekend I am gonna freak out. I promise I will make it up to you and we will share the dancefloor soon.. very soon Looks like you got some solid playtime on the floor though |
Hopefully sooner then later

Totally subjective opinion here (I did say "in my mind")... I'm not quoting a DJ handbook or anything, it's just what I generally like to hear from that kind of set/track selection; I'm a fan of super-involved sets where you hear all kinds of manipulation going on, but I realize that's not everyone's thing, nor every DJ's particular style. I just get a little bit bored with some of the sets I've heard from him lately, and don't feel like I'm being taken anywhere in particular. On Saturday, I really liked what he was spinning because, to my ears, there was more overall "shape". Perhaps it's kind of hard to describe, and maybe I've failed to convey my idea properly, or maybe, I've entirely failed to understand and appreciate his style.
Sorry for the mistaken spelling of Sean, in any case.
i actualy think that sean miller has great direction and flow in most of his sets... never heard otherwise

| Originally posted by The Highroller Lol, that is so retarded man. Come on. It was just your paranoia that got to you. I hate to break it to you, but I don't think every gay guy in the club was after you, nor do I think it was necessary to use "strategic positions". All you have to do is show your colours by the way you act with your girlfriend, and be confident. If a guy is looking at you in a certain way, shoot him a look back that sends him the message. If someone touches you inapproriately, tell him off. There's no excuse for that shit. You're probably going to be bothered a lot more if you're cowering behind your girlfriend the whole night. |
