-- REVIEW: Bal En Blanc
Pages (15): « 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 »
My thought on the djs i saw:
Fanciulli=awesome...i think having him at the beginning of the night was a bit of a mistake,because he almost killed my legs off the bat.I will see this man again and would love to see an extended set.(a tag with Paolo Mojo would be fine
)
Guetta:I understand he is an anthem dj and expected the cheese(i cant stand IM so i didnt bother),what i didnt expect was the clinic in horrible mixing put up by a "top" dj.The first tracks i caught werent even mixed in together.
Formula= fade out of 1 track..(can hear infected in the tech room.)silence for a few seconds...dj pose...new track.I'm sorry but Bal en Blanc could save money by putting winamp on random.
Stephane Grondin:I really liked this set...his set had such a wiked flow to it with so many dirty tracks.It made being groped by sweaty horny men almost bearable.
Peter R(my brain is still to fucked to try and spell it):Very suprised.He didnt play like i have heard him in the past and that is a good thing.Some of his tribal selections just took my body over and totally fucked my legs.I found a nice dark empty corner near the door and had my own little party in my own little world...Good times..beats the vicks mosh pit
Preach:Yes!Yes!Yes!I was expecting totally different and a little softer,but he banged it out.I absolutly lost my mind and i think his closing out the room was a genial idea.There arent too many Dj's who can make you forget your legs are rubber and keep you dancing.I was very happy to hear his remix of Hey, that song makes me lose my mind and want to smash things in a good way.
Had a blast with all of you.TOTA(sorry you get clumped up so i dont forget anyone...NADA U SUCK>>>ALL THAT TRASH TALK AND NO BACKING IT UP.pfffft...at least you looked good
MTLTA(you get clumped up too because even my fingers hurt...and i dont feel like typing names )
Highlights of the night:hearing the same track 3 different times and losing my mind.Danny Tenaglia-Dibiza.Screaming obsenities at David Guetta and chanting Tiesto at him was also fun.I got a very weird look from a dude dressed up as a sailor...gold.
Preach set...my brain wasnt working anymore and i was just on pure adrenaline.Thanks for the record Philippe.(pffft it wasnt a promo )
This year was 10x better than last year.Somebody fucked my washing machine.
The End.
Epilogue:
Malek looked like a zombie at the end of the night
a special thanks to shawn for being a good host and giving us all a place to chill before the long painful trek home.
BAL EN BLANC 12....WOOOOOT!!
I wasn't supposed to go, but I am very very glad that I did. Great party, great people, great vibe...
Overall, I stayed in the tech room most of the night, I tried to avoid Infected, but Guetta was too horrible for me to stay in the house room.
Fancuilli impressed me right at the begining. He played a very good set, but I think the night would have been better off with different timeslots for the DJ's.
I saw a bit of Infected's live show, it was alright, nothing special.
Armin thought he was God at the end of his set. Playing "Without You Near" or "Who is Watching" (I forget which...) and shaking hands of the pilled out ravers. This was not needed. 
Grodin played a very nice set, which flowed into Rauhofers. I really dont think the MC was needed though.
Only heard about half hour of Rauhofers set, it was good, but I heard it went downhill after this...(?)
Preach, you did it again. Killed my legs during the enitre last three hours. Probably the hardest set at Beb, but it was amazing. Track after track...it just got better and better.
Very nice partying with all the MTLTA's (you know who you are...) Jenn, it was great meeting you (again) and doin the warm-up before Preach. It was needed....hahah.
My first BEB expectations were set very high. There was a huge hype about this party. I think I was expecting more... more decorations...less distortion with the bass...I think Armin's set sounded the worse...
I enjoyed Guetta the most I think... Nic F was awesome as well. And I have to say that Armin was pretty darn good...minus the speaker problem.
I just could not get into any other set... Peter R... I did not like at all, I found it to be slow...really slow! Couldn't get into Preach either. And Deep Dish... I just found too blah. You would think I would be up for Preach...but I just was outta sorts I guess.
Not sure if my music tastes are changing or if I am still in remorse from not being in Miami... I think I also might have a Sander addiction.
Or could it be that I am getting older... ?? dun duh duh
i didnt find the bass to be so bad...the highs were totally distorted on much of the dance floors...maybe Armin just got to frisky with the gain:P
I don't know about the sound in the main area, but in the vip during Armin, I was pissed about these monitors going on and off.
Talk without highs isn't as good.

Wow, what an amazing party. This was probably the best vibe that I've ever seen, anywhere...EVER. Everyone was super nice, and my shitty ass broke french actually got me somewhere. Plus ppl were only too happy to help me out. Nic Fanciulli was amazing. it was the first thing we checked out upon arriving, and it was a great set to warm up to. David Guetta, eh, it was pretty good. Infected Mushroom...wow, I've waited forever to see them like I did at BeB. Never, ever, ever, will I even bother to waste my time of THINKING about seeing them in TO. The vibe, the crowd, the feel was just perfect. No stupid flags.
Everyone with me had a great time. Had gf's cousin from North Carolina with us. First rave ever for him, and to be honest, i don't think he could have been introduced to the scene in a more positive way. The washrooms were ok, so long as you bothered to walk to the end and use the less busy ones. I never had to wait for more than like 5 minutes.
With EDM scene being (mostly) a sausage fest, it was refreshing to see so many girls out.
Armin's set, well, it was Armin. He played a lot of hard tracks, and that was great. IMO, I didn't stick around for it for too long. If you've listened to ASOT for the last year, you've heard it all, and it gets a little repetitive.
One question, 15,000 people, 0 ATM machines. WTF?
Amazing night, amazing party, amazing vibe, amazing music. So worth to come out to this to those that haven't. You haven't partied in Canada until you've been here, IMO.

| Originally posted by magikb the warmup was needed.. but it didn't help matters at all. I was even more serious when I tried to walk this morning.. I think I have bruised my heel under the skin or maybe even a small fracture or something cuz I cannot walk today. Preach really did destroy me! |

Didn't he play that Axer tune? 123 or 321? Sounded kinda electrohousish.
I love Shadow World...Thomas B. is one of my best producer
Ali Dubfire (Deep Dish) & Sultan performing "FLASHING FOR MONEY" @ Bal en Blanc 2006:
Annie, I have lots of very good shots of them

| Originally posted by Seany Hey Malek, I think u misinterpret us about the situation with the bannerrole. Me and my friend just wanted to ask permission if we could go on stage and show the bannerrole we made for Armin and to the crowd. We had no intentions for you to bring the bannerrole to Armin. We aologize for any of the inconvenience. |

| Originally posted by malek its just that you're asking the wrong person, i'm not the one to ask permission to And if you knew how many crazy things I've been asked that night, you would understand my reaction. eheheheh |
i asked Malek if he could get Armin to sign my face.
he wouldnt even take a picture of me cause he said it would break the camera

For the vip's except the fact that you can have a t-shirt if your there early, toilets are an ass in the vip's ... it takes more time in the vip than in the regular bathrooms.
Anyway's ...
Oh yeah, coat check was free with vip .... O_o ...
