Ahhh excellent night! I haven't been out to Guv in about 10 months, but made sure to get to The Gift this year (my second time for this event), and I wasn't disappinted.
Got a chance to actually visit the gallery this time, and the tracks M&S and YM were spinning were incredible.
Spent a lot of time in the Acid Lounge, it was very comfortable, love what they did to the seating in there.
Mark Oliver...legendary. What else can I say?
I stayed until the last track was spun.
Unfortunately I was too incapacitated to use my camera, and by the time I mellowed out, I was too busy dancing. *hehe*
So thanks to all for posting your vids on this thread.
Insane.

again, something I would rather not mention! I was totally violated in the Gallery! security did a good job, although I had to go up to the bouncer and show him! well first I went up to some cute asian girls and told them to take a peak, their reaction was priceless!

The best gift of all is being around lots of friend

Great to see some faces I haven't seen in awhile, meet some new TAs, and re-meet a few as well lol.

The vibe was stellar. Everyone was there to have a great time. Saw a crazy fight break out though.

Mark Oliver played classic after classic... Definitely heard some great tracks

Nice seeing everyone and hope to see you all on Wednesday.

Binary Finary - 1998 Part 1

These songs were the best of the night for me.

I can't believe how much fun that was. I had so many other things going on this past weekend so it was hard to fit The Gift in, but am I ever glad I did. Mark played very well: spot-on mixing, played some well-known songs and some unknown songs of Guvvy's past, and structured his set in such a way that he represented the genres very well.

My favourite parts were the beginning with the fun house tracks, but definitely the trance section took the cake for me. Almost every single trance track he played was good, and he played 2 of my absolute favourite trance songs (Hydra - Affinity (Thrillseekers Mix), and Randy Katana - In Silence (Txitxarro Mix)). I haven't danced like that to trance in more than 5 years.

Saturday night was a night full of great tunes, great vibes, and great friends. I was very impressed with The Gift and would definitely like to go next year.

i really loved that hard section he got into between like 3:30 and 5. Cranked it up BIG time and completely wasted my legs.

"Dave 202 - yOu know what" was another bomb track.

Posted by VolumE_TO on Dec-21-2009 18:08:

suuuuch a fun night good vibe, good friends, and good music! I was very happy about pretty much everything MO played... GREAT to hear some classics!!

I really like the feel of the Acid lounge now, with the new paint job and set up and all. And TK gets better everytime I hear her LOVE it when she drops spastik..... the song suits her groove very well IMO.

awesome times with everybody and it's always a pleasure to meet some new TAs!!

Yes he was pounding the shit out of every one for a
while there wasn't he???

Such an amazing night...

TUNE!!!!!!!!!!

A fun and very random night. I too witnessed some of what Kotsy saw, thankfully dude was partially dressed with the bouncer flashing his light on him. He didn't seem to care much though, lol.

It was my first Gift and I liked the selection of Trance but I was expecting to hear a totally different set of Tracks...unless I missed them.

Tracks for me were The Shrink - Nervous Breakdown as well as New Time, New Place

I wish some of these were played though:

Signum - What You Got 4 Me
Novy vs Eniac - Pumpin
Skynet UK - Open the floodgates
Brainchild - Symmetry C
En-Motion - Truth
Emmanuel Top - Turkish Bazar

Just got out of my coma. Awesome times. Lots of highlights, some more embarassing than others (dancing on a stage with kotsy, visiting the acid lounge but being too drunk to notice it was RED until I saw a pic after). And poor jesse was raped, hope he doesn't have to see any penis for the next little while

Posted by SeventhSun on Dec-21-2009 21:40:

Great night...nice meeting some TA's I havent met before!

Thanks MO, you da man.
