This party was beyond hype. I got there around 3 while Nicole was playing. decent opening set. too bad i missed her remix of shake you. carl was awesome. hands down just as better as his last appearance at stereo. his first hour or so was slow, but then he started with the techy stuff. lots of vaginal talent as well. sick party. afterhours has become so hard to go to because of the aftermath. its 11 right now and i just woke up. my sleeping clock is fucked for the next week.
Great opener by Carl but his set lacked the energy from the warm up set. Some very good deep tech tracks, interesting tempo from him which perhaps saved many from collapsing in that stifling sardine can heat.
tracklist anyone?
what a night at the temple!!!! ... not the usual Stereo sound that i'm used to hearing at that place, but it was a refreshing change ... still a good mix of gay/straight 
... the place was rammed when I got in at 2:30 ...
I'm pretty sure the ceilings were dripping by 7am ... lol
the crowd was really feeling it and into it ... yelling and screaming ...lots of hands in the air during his build ups ...never seen Cox before, and I did expect it to be a bit faster, but I still didnt stop dancing for 6 hours
great night overall!!
I can't believe what I'm about to write but I felt Carl Cox was a bit boring...don't get me wrong it was a banging set but I felt it was completely predictable and the flow of the set remained the same. Some points during the set he would play a great build up track and slow it down a notch and repeated this pattern throughout most of the set. He finally picked it up after 7am but at that time I was feeling pretty dead, especially partying the morning before with diggers so perhaps that played a crucial role to this party experience. Stereo was rammed from corner to corner; the temperature level was set extremely hot. I definitely preferred Cox's last visit here at the old stereo way better. I would love the idea if Stereo could hang a camera overlooking the dj while he spins and display it on the big screens. Watching cox play is so entertaining. From the pump fisiting, to screaming on the mic "Whats up STEREO", to his classic bitch slap slams on the mixer, just amazing...
He are two tracks I remember from the night;
Maxime Dangles - Sante
John Digweed & Nick Muir - 30 Northeast <3 <3 <3
All in all i enjoyed the night, left a little after 10. Really thought Nicole Moudaber had a great set. I know it was packed but was the air condiitoning closed upstairs? Downstairs instead felt like an icebox. By any chance, does anyone know the name of the song he played with the bouncy steel drum melody. I think it played between 8:30-9:00.
Came to Stereo around 2:00 AM after a solid 3 hour power nap, and was ready to hit the dance floor. I was very surprised to what extent it was packed at that hour. Nicole Moudaber was at the decks and I WAS LOVING what she was playing. Very raw, dark set and was enjoying it very well.
5:00, CARL COX is in the house and I couldn't wait to hear what he had to bring. The first two hours were proper banging tunes. Very up paced. The crowed was loving it, everyone was pretty damn wild on the floor. Sadly, I found his set to be a bit too simplistic. Nothing new and special came along. Same kind of sound, good music none the less but very predictable and lack of imagination.
All and all, amazing night/vibe. Music was very good but was expecting something bigger and more interesting from a dj of the caliber of Carl Cox.
Thank you Stereo/Staff and thank you crowed for this amazing night!
Nicole's set was just great, loved walking in to her percussive techy beats, dance floor was eating it up. The crowd was fantastic, a good mix of the friday and saturday night crowd combined for the perfect vibing party.
Carl Cox came on banging keeping up the tempo and energy that Nicole had built up, thumping techno that reminded me of VC or D-Formation. Excellent mixing and blending of tracks, his accapellas and effects were spot on, but I also thought the night was a bit boring. His set was very linear, definitely wasn't a journey of a set like I was expecting. His set built up and just plateau'd for me, I was hoping for him to switch up the sounds, play more house with some melody, and he did play a few tracks that were leaning in that direction, but then booom techno drop and repeat. If I was drunk the whole time I would have loved what he was playing, high energy techno.. I still had a blast, he played some nasty tracks and the crowd was loving it but I got fed up. Left at 10, he played until 12:30 or so?
Rule of thumb: techno sets shouldn't be longer than 2 hours.

really? Diggers played NOTHING like Cox! Cox was thumping banging techno which then crossed into almost acid styled beats where as Diggers built it up super slowly w melodic prog and then played techno for an hour and a half
I can't really see the similiarity

Thank you Carl for the best tunes of the weekend for me.
After a disappointing set for me with Digweed the night prior, I needed something to smile about. I had not been looking as forward to Carl because the last two times I have seen him play; I did not enjoy the sets he put together. Too fluffy and not enough bang, very boring. I loved what he did in that room on Sunday. He started out perfectly after Nicole (who btw was an awesome opener), stepped down from the decks and he welcomed the crowd to the party he was about to throw down.
Friends messaged me around 6 and again at 8 and I had nothing but good things to say about what I was listening to. The techno he was dropping around 630, for a couple hours, was relentless - as mentioned previously, even throwing in a bit of that acid house sound for good measure. After 9 he began to slow it down a bit with some good build ups, and a little after 10 some funky Carl came out to play. He had some vocals strung through the set, which I also enjoyed between those four walls. Carl can be a great party DJ, and brought his A game. He had the dance floor eating out of the palm of his hand at times, which was awesome to watch.
Boom Boom kick kick.... BOOM
can we mention the trippy vocals he pulled out?
"dance... I just want to dance"
awweeesommmeeeee
Came to this party with no expectations whatsoever and left quite satisfied despite leaving much earlier than expected. I blame Misstress Barbara for killing me at Picnik!
Rolled in at 330 to catch some of Nicole Moudaber. Had never heard of her until earlier in my hotel room....buddy was hypin about her. He was right....shes wicked. ABSOLUTELY LOVED her opening. The last 45 mins were relentless. I was like....WTF happened to opening sets (in a good way)
Carl came on and was very good. No cheese. Plain old techno with a bit of house here n there. Had to leave at 730ish since i was falling asleep 
I feel bad for missing most of his set #fail. Oh well, sometimes your body tells you to fuck off to bed
Big thumbs down to Stereo for the heat though. It's not like it was 30 degrees and humid outside, it was rather fresh at 20 degrees and low humidity since it had poured cats and dogs earlier in the day. I can't help but think that they didn't ventilate the place knowing damn well people paid $50-60 for this party so they weren't going to leave, forcing them to buy more drinks to increase revenue. I've never seen the downstairs area so chilly and the dance floor so hot.. at around 7:30 they finally started up the AC and it got comfortable again, but it didn't make sense.
Dance floor was a complete mess because of all the extra drinks being served, almost sprained my ankle from a vitamin water bottle.
im sure the bartenders made a lot of money
