If Graham said Fanciulli was good, he must have been SUPER good. That kid could win the lottery and he'd still complain about it.

Sad that i missed this. Hopefully the next Guvy all access is right around the corner.

I really wanted to catch Nic.

Originally posted by jon jon I don't know, does the fact that people weren't jumping up and down and screaming = no vibe? Kristin, is a video really going to capture a vibe from the night? (lol you're in Scotland ffs)

does being in another country prevent me from being able to look at a video and point out something i see? I didnt say anything about the vibe, just agreeing with what sash said about people dancing

Between 6am to 7:15am the music in the main room was pumpin!, but before that it was too slow (hence the dancing)

Of course you're allowed to have your own honest take on a night, in this case I'm only trying to defend what I thought were incredible sets from both Squillace ("half assed", come on fuck) and Fanciulli (who imo destroyed the place). I don't know, does the fact that people weren't jumping up and down and screaming = no vibe? Kristin, is a video really going to capture a vibe from the night? (lol you're in Scotland ffs)

half-assed may have been a little harsh.....but holy flip out on me over it! LOL If i had said his ENTIRE set was half-assed i'd understand that kind of retaliation from u...but i was referring to few build-ups.... SERIOUSLY.

and were YOU at the same party as me from 1-2?????? if you're talking about after i left, fine..but 1-2 was horrible. People weren't DANCING, they were talking in the middle of the dancefloor....not good. i think we need to agree to disagree on this one....no surprise there.

how about that freak behind the stage?

who let him in?

Oh that was Jason's date

This is going down in my top 3 guv mainroom parties of all time. It was an almost perfect night!!

Squillace played really well, can never get enough of the guy. His style is love or hate type IMO. He certainly had me bumping around.

First time actually giving Fanciulli a proper listen and have to say he blew my expecations out of the water - proper music there. Will def want to check him out in the future again!!

The sound was the best I've heard it in a LONG LONG time, what ever they did it was spot on. The lighting tech upstairs was doing a wikid job, watching him get into it is almost like watching the DJ! He really knows what hes doing!

Dubfire played the best set I've heard him spin, dunno why but at Viva he only had me a few times and I never really enjoyed it but he had some serious tech and deep sounding techno going on, fucking RIGHT tunage!

Had a blast at this party totally glad I made it out, music was phenomenal!

Zone was pumping!! I thought it was musically better than NYD!!

lol whatever, is that when you thought Fanciulli was Dubfire? hahah You're right, agree to disagree...

always have to have the last word..... and considering the last time i was looking at the booth from the dancefloor Dubfire was the one getting ready to go on (since it's not like i don't know what the guy looks like u idiot). Honest mistake considering i wasn't in eye line of the stage at that point.

JQ FTW

Fancuili was that good, IMO. I love Techno, especially tech house/techno with an underlying layer of proggy melody...and that is what Nic does best. Great job!

Dubfire was good too, but his set didn't blow me away....lacked flow in sections...

Wasn't there to hear enough of Squillace to have an opinion.

Good night overall, decent crowd, lots of friends, and not too crowded.

Fanciulli was at his best Sunday night, without a doubt. Technically he was totally on point (with the exception of a massive wreck around 6:30 when everyone was so high they didn't seem to care.) His set was just awesome. Playing totally fresh, chuggy house music that people were just eating up.

Though I enjoyed Squillace's set - he totally should have closed the night. I realize the theory of 'new comer plays early' - but this guy plays at a pace that would have worked a lot better towards the middle or end of the night. He actually dropped some really interesting melodic tech-house tracks at the end that caused some 'hands in the air' trance like moments. lol

The total randomness at the end is what made this party for me. Three headliners, going track for track to close a night out is something you just don't see very often (if ever). The flow was non-existent, but that's what made each track stand out and cause such a buzz amongst the crowd. Nic topped them all with each track he dropped. Between 6 and 7 he dropped music that was so good, all I could do was laugh my ass off in disbelief.

I don't venture out to Guv often - but this Family Day thing they've got going is definitely a night I'd consider if they keep to this type of line-up.

p.s. - holy dancefloor reunion with a lot of old faces

p.p.s. - gong show with a capitol GO.

i 100% agree. His set was quite a bit harder than Fanciulli's when he first came on after him. Probably one of the main reasons why the flow of the music took a way more mellow turn for a while...and caused my "music buzz kill" from 1-2. Def. would make a great closing Dj. Next time he's here though, he better be headlining!

I agree with those saying its one of the best main room nights (at least out of the ones I've been to). Wouldn't change a thing.

great to see u Jason.

btw, anyone catch fisherspooner?

well dub was supposed to go on at 1... perhaps that killed ur buzz from squillace to nic. cuz davide was setting up dubfire. also, patrons who were not in the loop on dubfire's situation may have been wondering what was going on with nic playing when the time slot said it was supposed to be dubfire.

ya he def would have been better closing, but since he's dubfires finding, guess hes his opener (at least we got the b2b which im sure many hoped for). as for the melodic tech, lol he was in la la land you could tell thats what he needed. he was eating it up himself haha.
