I dunno if I'd quite classify him as trance! In fact I don't know exactly what I'd classify him as...he's a toughie

the gift 2005 is definately up there as one of my top parties in the guv mainroom. mark oliver blew me away that night.

I still have the ticket for the Sasha - Better Days Last Dancy party. The funny part for that party was I spent the night in the Warehouse instead listening to Anne Savage. My friends thought Sasha was spinning too slow so we left for some hard house!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned DECADANCE 2006 , Danny Howells & Lee Buuridge just blew me away that night ,i remember at some point (when they were both on DJ booth and the whole room was fool of mist and Danny dropped a trippy shit and everybody was in shock & me n my buddy were like Ooo Ooo What da Fuck is happening here ...
What a party , greatt line- up

Fine :P , tech trance dj. B/c he does throw in melodies in general. Same with Danny Howells, I'd say he's a house dj but he does everything, I LOVE versatility, mixing up styles and have a set that flows, that's the entire point of being a dj imo.

That was a sweet party, but it does not rank up there among the BEST of the BEST in the mainroom imo.

#1 Above & Beyond, 2006
(What happened this year guys?!?!?!?)

#2 Infected Mushroom, 2006
(Back to back with A&B no less!)

#3 Mark Oliver (After Above and Beyond, 2007)
(Good job Mark on saving A&B's ass! Helsinki Scorchin ROCKED the house!)

Originally posted by MattColeridge Sasha - Better Days Last Dance, August 1998. After a summer of slowly discovering "progressive" and moving away from more mainstream house, this party solidified my love of the sound. Imagine a gorgeous late summer Sunday morning, 8am, doors to the mainroom wide open with the sun streaming into the main room. Dancefloor was still packed and Sasha is dropping bomb after bomb of the most amazing records I'd ever heard. The first time the riff of Twilo Thunder dropped will remain as one of the defining moments of my partying career! Flash to 2 weeks later and Sasha's San Fran GU comes out and I get to relive that Sasha set over and over.

wow...i hate you, lol

my best moments in that room would be:

Sander Klienenberg Axe Release Party
I was really starting to get into house at that time and this was the first party I went to with a house DJ playing. I was so blown away by some of those beats...

Sasha & James Zabiela@Labour of Love 2003
First time seeing J-Z. Second time seeing Sasha. Easily one of the best parties of my life. Sasha's set was really similar to his Creamfields Essential Mix that he did just a week before this party, so he played a lot of the same tunes.

haha, i was way to gone at that point in the night to remember the music But Burridge was amazing at the beginning of the night.

Originally posted by geroin GUV 2004 with armin was one of the best also, forgot to mention that one i was going nuts

lol,speaking of Armin. one of the best times i've ever had in that room was one of the first times i went there, in april 2002 for AvB. I think it was right after the renovations to the main room.

I'm sure they were very good, I had more fun at their 2005 jam at Guv in August I think it was. The parties in early 2000s were better imo...now they're just 'ok' and it's rare that you'll get a wicked wicked party recently (although they do happen).



The Axe jam! HAHA! I remember that. We got in for free too! Tried going into the acid lounge for booze only to get a can of axe instead.

i thought decadence last year was rubbish!

lee was great, sander was uber meh, and danny was meh (that's right kids, i said it!). danny vs lee redeemed it a bit at the end, but overall it was a total waste of money for me.

besides, i think all my good nights in there happened years ago, when i could actually tolerate the place.

Many a fun night out @ The Guv...will have to think about this for a few and get back.

I thought Lee was great, and Danny was playing minimal-esque tunes that I like.

Sander was def blah. He is no longer a dj i care about.

I'm going to list my top (2), as they are the only ones that came to mind INSTANTLY when first seeing this thread - and if we're talking strictly Main Room parties, well these ones were on a totally different level than any of the others I attended.

#1.)Picotto - Canada Day (2001).

This was just twisted, brain-fucking music at it's best. I don't know what ever happened to this guy, but on this night he was just on fire. 'FUCKED HER..... ALL NIGHT!'.... lol - jebus. Second ever party I had been to, and although I was a n00b - I partied like a savvy veteran.

#2.) Deep Dish - GU Release Party (2002).

I was so close to not even coming to this one. I had my company Christmas party just down the road at the Westin Harbour, and was as drunk as I had ever been. Dressed in a full suit, around 4:00am in the morning in some random girls hotel room smoking a blunt - in mid toke, I decided to go. I ripped off my tie, and stumbled down to Guvy by myself in a snow storm. I puked in line, then popped a pill once inside.

The rest is history.

updated, with links to original party review threads

likely due to complete botchizm.

That's an awesome story! I remember that party. Me and LKD were down in front going off to the music. A little later we decide to do a quick round through the Kool Haus, which ended up being a big mistake. As soon as we walked into the KH the lights flipped on and the music stopped. We turn to run back to the Guv but the doors to the Orange Room were already closed by a bouncer. Ended up getting kicked out. Still remember hearing Deep Dish drop "Nobody Listen To Techno" while sitting outside, trying to figure out what to do next.

bring back sasha!
that is all.

I've only been to the Guv once, since I don't even live in Canada. And that was for Labour of love 06, it was definitely cool, although the place was way too crowded.
