Originally posted by Groundhog Boy When we got to the guestlist table, we asked one girl for the rhythmism list, and she directed us to the guy at the far left. He didn't even care what our names on the list were, he just gave us tickets, so no idea what happened to you euphoria.

Dunno that guy was acting like a total dick to me and I was friendly as I usually am to everyone. First Tom went up and said his name he crossed his off the list and didnt give him a ticket. When Tom (EnigmaT) mentioned that he didnt give him a ticket he basically calle dhim a liar and said he did give it to him. After Tom assured him a couple of times that he didnt he finally just handed over the ticket.

I told him my name and he asked like 4 times does it begin with Eu and I said yes and he said its not here. So I asked him to look at the list and he put it up to my face and said see and snatched it back like a second later.

sorry to hear you had such a bad experience - i probably wouldn't even have entered the club after this type of incident.

Sucks u had to go through that. I stayed til about 1AM and then I left with Tae and that girl u were at Pacha with. Shes like I cant take this crap music anymore and left. LOL. Its sucks some ppl had to pay $30 to get in and had Reggaeton blasting on the second floor.

P.S. In case u didnt know, I was the guy who met u earlier at Taes place.

He tore it, period. All night was high energy fucking madness. His technical abilities w/ the mixer, EFX, are the best in the world. He really enjoyed DJing which seems to be getting rare lately. Pacha was a great venue, most of the staff were dicks though. Drinks were weak and overpriced. Smoking area was wack. 2nd floor was also wack. Zabs def deserves more credit on the night.

I'm confused, why did you stay in the hip-hop/reggaeton area upstairs (which did turn to trance classics later in the night)? Obviously the music sucked up there, that's why there are 2 floors playing EDM.

great night, first time at pacha and first time seeing Zabiela, personally thought the staff was fine. as for the bar prices were standard club prices. loved how it was dark and they serve gatorade. also the winamp effects on the dj booth was also very cool.

Well it pretty much made the rest of my time there unenjoyable because I was already in one of those moods after that...I tried to make the best of it but I figured I would just leave because my mood didnt improve very much.

Walid....I am the GIRL that left with you guys! (I think you were directing this comment towards Tom) Yea I remember you, the person I was with was EnigmaT (male)who you also met @ Tae's earlier in the night.

Well I decided to write a formal complaint about that guys attitude to the people that organize Rhythmism. I know that one persons complaint cant do very much to change anything but if others have also had problems before or after me my comments to them will somewhat validate any complaints about his behavior.

I think it was worthwhile you wrote to them. I know one of the people who started Rhythmism, and I'm sure she'd be interested in your feedback. It's in their best interest to keep people happy and using their gueslists. I'm not sure who hires the guestlist people at parties though. It might actually be Pacha, not the promoters. Either way, it's good you said something.

He played this sweet breaks track at around 2am that I know you would have enjoyed - quite a bit of scratching over it too. Actually, like Carlos said, there was quite a bit more scratching than what he's been doing recently which was a nice surprise. He also played Aquasky and Drumattics Twins - Bring It Down (Rennie Pilgrem Hum Remix) and that Robert Babicz - Mister Head / John Tejada - The End Of It All mashup. I realized during the Pilgrem remix that listening to that song at home does not do it justice. It really rips in the clubs. Don't remember any specific songs aside from those.

Overall it was a decent night - not the best show he's ever put on in NYC. It was relentless and banging like everyone said but it just felt like something was missing. I know Zabs is technically gifted and I love all his little tricks but I feel like his reliance on all this gadgetry has made for a technically experimental sound that isn't musically diverse. I guess what I'm saying is that Zabs' set programing has gotten less interesting and less varied ever since he added all these gadgets to his standard 3 cdjs and an efx setup. I remember a funkier, proggier sound a few years ago that I just don't hear these days. I guess in the end it's also a consequence of the type of music that's hot and available these days.

Oh well, I still enjoyed myself. Looking forward to the next time!

Some TA's are in this one:

Word. I feel like he'd never play something like Polychord - Mai Thai Night now. But he's still my favorite. I need him back soon... His next small US tour doesn't stop any where around here either, so I'll have to wait another 6 months before he's back, most likely.
