See everyone tonight 
see you guys in the penthouse! 11-1230
report from someone who helped to put up the decorations/set for tonight - "it's rad"
I haven't been on here in a long time but I can't wait for tonight!!! Kristen, Bobby and I had to cancel our Miami trip to see Sander b/c of the hurricane but I'm almost glad that we'll be able to catch Lawler - he's amazing!!! So glad to see so many people coming out to this, I'm sure this will end up being one of the best shows of the year! Can't wait to see everyone later and can't wait to see Mike in the penthouse, we're getting there early to catch his set.

I think Im still moving my feet! Lawler just brought the house down last night, madness! I liked/loved almost every track he played, no down time whatsoever, I was pretty tired when he came on from Mike rocking the Penthouse, awesome set man, I cant wait to come check out one of your headline sets!
It was also great seeing all the TA's out and about, I just wished I was more social, but its always awesome to go out alone and know like 10-20 people in the club. The Dj who opened for Lawler was good but man he was putting me to sleep, alot of that stuff seemed like dreamy and almost trancey, did anyone else get that vibe? I thought there was a pretty good crowd there too, alot of dummies on the dance floor, I wanted to slpap the dude with whistle he was blowing it like every 10 secs., what was worse was he was up in the penthouse with it and it was louder than the music. All and all awesome night of great music and great friends! I probably vote this for club night of the year (not counting the boat cruise
)
only got a few hours of good sleep but i'll try to make my review as coherent as possible...
Lawler's set was great. it started off strong, the middle was alright, and the end was fantastic. there was about an hour or so where he was just playing straight tribal, lots of long repetitive tunes that didn't go anywhere and didn't have a really pronounced melody. as much as i just wanted to hear chugging electrohouse all night long, i think his set was really wonderful and it kept the crowd dancing until the very end (myself included). he played a lot of tracks i recognized, too lazy to ID any of them right now but i'll try to list as many as i can think of later. there was one track i've heard before but i can't think of the name - it's got male vocals and the lyrics are "can you feel that sound, that obsessive sound" (i think??)... i need to find out what song that is. he didn't play The Conjure which i was kind of disappointed about. i know he's been playing that track in almost all of his sets lately and i was really hoping he would close with it. the 2nd to last song was really sweet but i think the last song wasn't all that great. it felt like kind of a weak way to end the set and it made me think "ok, time to go home"... then again by 4:45 i was just insanely exhausted so i was beyond ready to leave by then anyway.
i think altogether i was expecting a LOT more from Lawler. i wasn't disappointed at all, i just went into the night thinking "omg this is going to be sooooo amazing!" and it's not that it wasn't, it was just not exactly what i expected. his mixing is very solid but it's pretty basic, and he's not extremely entertaining to watch. he seemed like he was pissed off or bothered by something for most of the night. although i do have to say the high point of the night for me was when he blew me a kiss when he saw my lawlergasm shirt...
Sean Miller's opening set seemed pretty good from what i heard. not too in your face, it was perfect stuff to hear from an opener.
Mike - i really dug the set you were spinning up in the penthouse. that was the first time i've heard you spin and i really enjoyed it. your selection of tunes is just the kind of stuff i dig. good job and i look forward to checking you out again sometime.
the Halloween decorations looked pretty sweet, but they were really annoyingly restrictive when it comes to observing the crowd and the DJ. although i guess it's probably a better thing that i wasn't able to see the crowd because most of them looked pretty cracked out anyway, lol.
always great to see all the TAs out, even though we were all off in our own worlds all night. there was a big TA presence there and that's always a good thing. Rob and i stayed until the end and didn't really get to say bye to a lot of people but i hope you all had a great night and i hope you all made it home safe.
now... time for me to crash and recover. 
last night was definitely one of the best nights out this year, musically and socially... but i think now i need to take a little break from going out in Chicago before i wreck myself.
lawlergasms FTW!!!
I wish I could have gone. Got a txt from Rob at like 10:30. Oh well, I found other ways to have fun.

Yeah...I think I hyped Lawler too much for you lol...but maybe it was the venue...I dunno...cause here he was just nuts. Lawler's mixing seems simple but if you actually hear those tracks on their own you'll realise he edits them alot so that he can mix them in his own special way...which I enjoy...hjow he mixes a little late and then drops massive basslines. |
Sorry guys that I couldn't make it down. I was really trying to sort things out and fire up for it but got some more bad news yesterday so that really put me out of any party mood. About to read the reviews, hope everyone had a good time. From all the txtx/vms it appears that things went off in Miami as well.
i had fun - danced most of the night which is usually how i measure a night - how much my legs ache at the end of the night and my legs felt like jello by noon on sunday - he kinda lost me in the middle of the set - but that seems to happen a lot - the dj starts off strong to get the crowd into it - the middle sorta sucks - and then he bangs it at the end. lots of tracks from lights out 3 and the club did look awesome with all the spandex and netting. the only complaint was that when you were on the 2nd floor you couldn't see the dj or the crowd.
i have to agree that sean's set was sort of slow, but he's the warm-up dj so i had no complaints. my only other complaint was that i kept txting christen to see where she was in the club and then i would go there and she wasn't there!
it was still a GREAT night for me - glad i didn't go to miami sounds like sander played some cheese - why the hell is he playing G&D tracks? 
did anyone notice the couple in one of the cages making out at the end of the night?

if i knew i was gonna go see lawler that night..i would've worn more appropriate shoes so i could dance till my legs hurt too.
cept my legs hurt from my choice of shoes.
i need to dance. perhaps soundbar or smart bar this weekend.
Just wanted to say that it was great meeting many of you guys at the show and Thank you to everyone who joined us to party up in the Penthouse... solid night all around.
I personally loved Steve's set, the last hour was completely on point. Hearing Moby - Go was also a nice suprise to end the night.
Hope to see many of you out again soon!
James

Hey guys. Thanks for coming out to the Penthouse on Saturday. Thats the best its been up there! Glad you guys liked it. Definitely good to finally meet a lot of you!
I thought Lawler was great. Bassline after bassline. Dark and dirty. Just booming. Couldnt stop dancing the whole night. Definitely loved hearing Planet Funk - Stop Me (King Unique Dub). Ive played this one out many times but have never been on the dancefloor for it....
Oh, and afters...what can I say?
Hope to see you guys out again soon.
Came to Chicago for the first time sat night. Vision was def one of the weirdest clubs i've been too. I liked how how they had so much seating on every floor, so diff compared to NYC clubs. The club itself had a very space/terrace vibe. I don't think i saw one bouncer all night haha. It was def a pleasure to club in Chicago, i saw no old asians-shirtless guidos- or fights 
. Saw lawler the night before in NYC too, he played pretty much the same stuff, loved the tribal towards the end Wish i had more time to check out soundbar and crobar too. I'll put up some pics later
