Nice pics, really like that overhead! I guess that's the plus of having a light on the vid camera instead of just relying on a flash of a camera.

Thanks.

No lighting that night. I generally never use it. I like to video under the natural conditions of the event.

Sweet pics dood. I never made it to the front. just gravitated towards the middle (and the back in the beginning).

Also yes lol at the two guys checking out that chick. She does look familiar though.

This was a great party! and I hope this location will be used again. This is what parties should be like.
Great sound, amazing vibe, great space, very friendly staff. Hopefully these kind of parties will make a comeback!

Cox was relentless and Sneak surprised me quite a bit!

The only downside were the lights being turned on quite often. At first it was cool but then kinda not so much

But overall: 10/10!!!

Her bod was smoking. When she came up where we were, most the dudes had their eyes glued on her for sure! I wonder if any of the media hoard caught a shot of her... LOL.

Techno like it's s'pposed to be done. Quite simply, the best party I've been to this year.

The warehouse was a great venue for re-capturing the "old-school" feel.

Minimal lighting effects and decoration. The sound was pretty decent and only got muddled in a couple of areas. Regardless the bass was kickin'!

Ya, there were 2 bottle service areas flanking the dancespace (and ya, full of meat-heads and overdressed skanks -of both genders) but the vibe was positive, fun, and despite the "class" distinctions there were no problems. They had security but they were quite respectful and helpful, i.e. telling stupid smokers to butt out and keeping a watchful eye on the over-served.

But my god, the techno. I couldn't stop dancing the whole night until 5am when the party ended.

Arrvied to see DJ Sneak for about an hour or so and then Carl got on and flogged the crowd mercilessly with pumpin, groovy, mechanical, percussive techno. An absolute joy to dance to! After a couple of hours he and Sneak went back to back. Sooooo good.

The cherry on top, a free shuttle bus from Downsview Park to Nathan Phillips Square at 5am.
Way to go!

One week on, not too late at all to write a review.

Arrived there after 11 to catch Sneak's set, and though it was feeling a bit empty-ish I knew it was going to quickly fill up. As others have said, the sound was vastly improved from the Hallowe'en party, and overall there was simply a better atmosphere.

When CC hit the decks it was game on, and even his 75-90% is far better than many others when they're at their best. My 3rd time seeing Cox and I would say it was the best. Personally I dig the chug-a-chug techno, and thought when him and Sneak were going back to back, their styles complimented each other quite well.

I think one of these warehouse jams every couple of months is exacty what T.O. needs. Musical vitamins, if you will.

Well done!

this was a top notch party in every aspect!! i'm surprised at how quickly Carnivale got accustomed and made changes after only 1 previous party and 1 set of reviews - that is a big plus in my books for promoters. it illustrates that they really care about our experience as a whole and try to work things out to the best of their abilities in the given timeframe and with any limitations present.

carl cox dropped one of my favourite live techno sets ever... not only was it relentlessly hard (a l� speedy j, chris liebing hard) but he dropped those oldschool jems that really made the night extra special musically (something vath or danny t would do). add a few acid house tracks and the combination was perfect for this type of party and warehouse venue!

only complains i can even think of (all were mentioned already):
- expensive drink prices!!
- too bright at some points (but the whole warehouse is white so that makes things tough to begin with)
- sound at the back was out a bit (this comes with time and more tweaking)

i can't wait to see what else Carnivale has in store for us!

1) I cannot believe I missed this party.

2) Only a little bit into the mix, but he held the transition from Jon Rundell - Knick Knack to Tim Deluxe - Transformation for a long time! Nice.

3) I cannot believe I missed this party.

4) Fuck being responsible for work next time.
