I did not go to this party for that reason... Johans mixes are the equivalent of oil and vinegar... some one should teach him how to take the shoes out of the dryer!!!

Hes got high energy, and his track selection is incredible, but couldnt mix an egg into a cake mix...

What a crazsy night ....

First off, I would like to thank the guys at the Guvernment for allowing Deep Groove to open the night. It's really rare for any DJ to touch the main room. NUFF RESPECTZ! Now, my career mission for Deep Groove is complete. It's time to get the others in the KH or Main Room of Guv one day. Still gonna take a lot of time though.

Deep Groove played the best I've seen ... they murdered that room. Then came, Johan and just slapped up everyone silly! Johan was indeed on FIYA! No wonder this guy has such a huge following, first time seeing him and it won't be my last. GoldFinger closed off the night wickedly also!

Hope to see everyone out for Ultra Spin next week .... killa line up for such a cheap price!

Happy Chinese New Years EVERYONE!

wow..

what a wickked party!!

Part 2 of my b day weekend was better than I could have ever imagined!!

Holy was it ever HOT in there!!!

Great times!!
Gielen ROCKED!!

Well.. what can i say... GREAT effin night...
honestly i hardly noticed the crowdy-ness and heat..
Deepgroove has my vote.. def a good stand in for Mark O.
JOHAN JOHAN JOHAN!
HOLY SHIT! met the man... totally down to earth! you could tell how bad he was feelin the vibe that night.. he knew we wanted it dirty and hard and he sure brought it! Played shannys tune, Kiss, which was sick.. and more importantly ( to me) played BORN SLIPPY.. i just about died! JAMIE! i know you were freaking out as hard as i was when you heard it!!!!

so nice to see some friendly faces again!!! and really great to meet some new ones!!
once again...great time partying with you guys!!
see you all @ Decadence!

yeah i was wondering about that too. throughout the set they were saying the ''in session with johan gielen''

Sorry I missed out. Alochol poisioning got the worst of me on Wed.!. see you all next weekend !!!

^ this is the 4th time i've seen johan, and he has had that sample play everytime...its just what he does! no complaints, i like it, kinda cool

"I think I'm having fun."

pre-party: 10/10 I had soo much fun chilling with all of ya @ Scotland Yard! Mikey, you're crazy mofo! please dont do it again! it's not safe!

I had cinnamon in my ears this morning. Holy Fuck!

GUV: 3/10 My worst clubbing experience EVER! Even Halloween was better. Overpacked and hot. The crowd was disgusting! Never ever have I seen so many fucked up people. I was scared. GOD! The music was... hm... I expected more from the Man. I expected something really HARD. and yes, I hate long buildups and slowdowns! HATE IT! Plus he was terrible @ mixing during the first hour. He skipped at least 4 times. booo.

TOTA's: the only reason I didnt leave early was... you guys! Those battles were SICK! I was crying because I didnt feel the music and couldnt dance it up properly! sorry Andrea, your partner in crime sucked last night.

It was nice to meet so many new people! No shout outs this time. There were toooooo many of you lol. But you all rock! Cant wait to see ya all @ US9. Promise you more fireworks lol.

cheers

Cam, post that video, and THANK YOU FOR A RIDE!

you were trying to copy me during the slowdowns! haha jokes

What a great night! Everything kicked off at the scotland yard for the pre-party, where i managaed to drop a chunk of change at the bar (note to self, pre-drink before going to the Pre-drink party.) Glad to meet a bunch of local TA's. It's great being able to communicate without shouting..







Here's another look at Sasha's Fireworks Display


Despite the usual Guv Low points with the heat and crowding, everyone was having a great time.. I manged to score an outside dancing spot in the smoke area, absolutely refeshing (however probably led to my back cramping up). Big ups goes out to the big white guy working security in the smoking area, feeding me smokes all night while I hung out in the cool air blocking the door outside. muhahah pricelss, Which led me to meeting up with some lovely ladies from Niagara Falls..



Johan set was rocking in parts and somewhat slow in others, really couldn't keep up my energy (I burned it all up on the stage too early in the night), but overall a good preformance. Thanks spitty for guilting me back onto the floor for one last hoorah, i needed a push.. muhaha...








and a couple of shots of the floor show




and lastly some final shots





Overall Rating for the Night 9/10
Musical Rating 7/10
TA Rating 100/10

Looking forward to Partying it up with everybody next weekend at Ultra Spin 9. Picotto will keep me on the floor for his entire set. w0000t!

now im really pissed. i missed so damn much.

thats it next week if i see that bouncer again im gonna kick him in the nuts.

Goodness u guys!!! another successful outing. i love the trance addicts. Everywhere i go, a familiar face, a smiling face=))) glad i got to hang out with some of u after. There isnt always sufficient chat time on the dance floor =)) Cant wait til next weekend!!!

ok- the review

Big up to Deep Groove- congrats on busting your Guv cherry. You guys did great- crowd was eating it up.

Johan was 'supposed' to go on at 2, but I noticed him in there at 1:40-45 on the decks. For the 1st time he entered w/a 'wimper' almost- not the usual "Here I am f*ckers!!!!" entrance he always starts with. There was no pause between Deep Groove's set and his set, and he started off with some prog trance stuff. But 15-20 mins in, he started dropping the bombs. Popped into the Gallery for 15 mins of Addy, then back to the Guv.

So excited to hear "Saltwater"!!! Johan ended his set really differently this time too- going out w/2 really slow, stand around songs, said his thanks to the crowd, but then picked things up again when he dropped "Mr. Brightside" as the final song. Barry almost made me wanna kill myself near the end of his set when he told me Johan played "Beauty of Silence" (which I was worried was dropped when I was in the Gallery, cuz that was the only time I was gone from the room). Later found out that wasn't true from Johan himself (phew!). Spent 20 mins catchin up w/Johan in the booth after the set.

Brad Goldfinger- notable tunes: Rockwell- "Somebody's watching me" & Delirium "Silence" (Tiesto mix).

Very nice TA turnout indeed! Nice hangin out w/all the TA's, esp the ones who havent been out in a while.

TranceGrooves-
Gallery doors open to the rest of the club at 2am. Sorry that bouncer misinformed you- all u woulda missed was the 1st 15 mins of the set, which wasn't that important.


Now.... who has that pic of Dan next to his 10-yr old twin? OMG that was a riot!

P.S Nat, Thanks for putting a 20 down the front of my pants when i was dancing on the beam lol bwa hahah
