-- Review: Talla 2XLC @ Viva Nightclub (Friday, Nov 29, 2002)
Pages (10): « 1 2 3 4 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 »

Ok here's my review...I'll make it short since pretty much everything has been covered.

The good:
Music, unity of the crowd, the vibe was definitely there
The lights and setup
The fact that venue wasn't overly packed.
Meeting Talla & getting CD

The bad:
NO CAMERAS...that's total BS!!!!!!! Least the club can do is WARN in advance. Or better yet, make some sorta arrangement with peeps that wanna bring cams.
It was kinda hot in there...leaving some exit doors open wouldn't hurt, especially since there WERE bouncers by them.


Now some input on what has been said:

Asians not dealing to non-asians? Can't agree, been offered everything by all kinds of people. Same goes to non-asians not being served at last call. I had no probs getting drinks whatsoever right b4 2am.

Talla sucked/party sucked/etc...People...if you can't have fun at a party like that - I really have no clue where you can have fun. Everything has been there, if you didn't enjoy yourself it has nothing to do with Talla (who in fact was amazing -crowd is the proof...people were going fucking insane!!!) I admit, I expected something harder, but his choice of tracks was great and I enjoyed every moment of it...as for fuck-ups - what kinda fucked up perfectionist do you hafta be to even mention that? Or has it lately become popular to count how many times a DJ fucks up? I go to clubs to hear good tunes, not to count how many times any1 messes up or get pissed cause a certain track wasn't played.

As for Digweed...had it not occur to any1 that the statement may be more in SUPPORT of Talla (that people picked his party instead of hitting Digweed) rather than to put down Digweed himself? Why do you guys always look at the bad side of everything?!

Progressive vs non-progressive...LOL...eh, muh jungle ownz your breaks any day!

Props to Temporal Rhythm for making the contest, also huge greets to every1 whom I've met at the party. If any1 of you guys wanna hit Viva sometime on a special night (or not) or put faces to nicknames add me to your instant messenger:

Originally posted by Time2Burn I think Nat put it best at the end of the night with her tres cool writing thingy: HOLY FUCK!! That night totally ruined me. After reading some of these other reviews I'm begining to think i was more fucked up then I thought I was. But if there is one thing we should already know and if not learned from such threads as this is: FUCK what other people think!! The bottom line is that I had one of the best nights ever last friday! First and foremost this was a TrancEaddict party. EVERYONE who was there who did not fit the stereotypical model of the regular crowd was affiliated with TA in one way or another. As a result the vibe in there was INCREDIBLE. TA massive rocks!!!! Its just so amazing to be dancing your ass off and look up to see someone you know half way acroos the club doing the same thing. And as you look at each other you pump your fists in the air at each other and then go back to lighting the floor on fire. As the for the music? Viva is hands down the best night out in Toronto. Why? Because they play pure TRANCE!! No pussyfootin' around the genre like other places do. Pure unadultered trance in my pants for 8 hours... Can you say heaven? Hartec and Ivals rock and next time ppl should give then more of a chnace. I stayed till the bitter end and was probably the last TA to leave. The vibe in there quickly changed as everyone left. As for Talla I think he played some amzing tracks. In fact I loved every minute of it. Unfortunetly he did play a set similar to his Trance Energy set which I felt was more "anthemic" and "mainstream". I was hoping to hear as set more similar to his at Level in Miami (George Acosta Bday bash). But alas, beggars can't be choosers and Talla definetly had me begging for more!! As for the whole FUCK DIGWEED thing. I thought it was hilarious and anyone who takes offence to such trivial things needs to check their own attitude. Personally I know I would not have have had the night I did if I was at Digweed. Talla and Trance is where its at for me. I'm really happy Digweed put on a great show! The Prog heads have needed something to prove to themselves how much they love progressive after recent disappointments such as SASHA. In the end its all about finding a beat that moves you. And once you find it don't stop moving. I know I didn't stop all night and my body thanks me. NOW WHERE ARE ALL THE PICS??????????????

bingo! i couldn't have said it better...

great seeing and meeting all TAs out that night!

special thanks to itikia for the hook ups. i wish i was able to speak more that night, but that last and final beer from you just put me over the edge. and then, it is impossible to talk on the dance floor. but overall, a great great night!

really looking forward to (i'm admitting this) armin on 12/13 then tiesto on 12/14. currently listening to armin from GodsKitchen Eden Ibiza (part 1) [27-08-2002] and he is playing some mix of for an angel...yummy. i think he played it at glow back in september too...

see you all soon!!!

i am sick now...

all of these parties.

maybe i can make this positive and get out of work

On the 1st topic- ok, maybe it was just that one person's experience- maybe he did look 'too much like a cop' after all. But that last call thing did happen to Sober24-7 one nite- he stood at the bar for 5-10 mins as the bartender overlooked him the entire time & served ever asian there, until it was past last call & then rudely told him it was over & walked away.

2nd topic- yeah, u hit that one on the nose. THANK YOU. If we had typed in "Fuck the Kool Haus" do u think he would've gotten it? LOL.

Well, First of all what a crazy night! For me it was..lots of shit happening, good and bad...but I'll focus on the good coz no point wasting energy on bad stuff, that gets you nowhere.
Talla dropped some good tunes and the vibe that I felt in the club with all the Ta's was amazing!! nothing better than that, what I enjoyed the most that night was the turnout of TA's, it was soo nice meeting most of ya. You guys all Rock!
BIG THANX go to Firestarter!!! Thank you soooo much for making my night much better and for making sure I got home allright, I owe you big time!!!!!

Props to all the TA's who were up at the front and didn't stop dancing all nite making sure Talla didn't stop the good vibe he was making all of us feel.
Gosh did I ever see so many asian girls underage..or should I say over age who look underage?? gosh now I'm all confused

Thanx to Tatgirl for the idea of the card for E*Master and to all of you who signed it.

Caryn! It was cool seeing you again. That party was crazyyyyyyyy. If I didn't have school I would be partying as much as you (if not more so) lol. Armin on the 13th then Tiesto the day after? Damn! See you at Tiesto along with all the other TA massive.

Well see the thing is, Talla is not some up and coming bedroom DJ. He is getting paid huge money to spin on the professional level, and all you get is constant fuckups!

As for tunes, if I wanted to hear all those harder tunes, I could throw them on my 1's and 2's and make a better set out of it.

I understand that it does not seem like a big deal to anyone, but let's say someone wrote "Fuck Tiesto" with that thing, there would have been more than half of this board rushing in here and flaming the living days out of everyone! Is it it not true? It may seem like not a big deal to you cause you could care less about Digweed yourself. But let's say someone did the opposite of what people @ Talla did but @ Digweed instead, there would have been so much more controversy over this.

It does not matter what the person ment behind it. What matters is the person that made that statement to everyone inside VIVA, had offended some people. I am not saying he should apologize (it's really up to the person). And regadless if he ment it in support of Talla, he should have thought of possible consequences.

Just my honest opinion!

Artem, c'mon. You heard Talla's trance energy set.. You knew what to expect. It's not like Talla played tech-trance 2 months ago, and changed all of a sudden.. His trance energy set was pure trance - exactly what he played at Viva... As far as his mixing goes - you also knew what to expect, after all, he fucked up a few times during Trance Energy set as well.

I notice that lately you've been disliking too many parties. I think you should take a small break from Trance, and you'll start appreciating it again..

IMO, I think that those are the most ridiculous statements I have yet to hear. But then again it's your opinion, and opinions don't mean diddly squat until you provide some fact to support your statements.

If you think you can lay down a better set than Talla I suggest you record one of your 'DJ sessions' and provide it for download so that the TA's can critique your work.

Now that's my honest opinion.

well said .. ! Time2Burn aka. Az.. always a wickid time being able to party it up with you and Iris, you guys totally make the party. Not to exclude any of the other TA's that nite that rocked the whole place. i didn't get a chance to meet all of you , but from the looks of it, i had a feeling who was from TA ..

thanks again to Swamper , Itikia (Temporal Rhythm) for making this nite possible! props to you from offering a great experience from the everyday ..

guys .. the party is what you MAKE of it. try to have fun and you will! if you don't think you are, you probably aren't. and TranceArmada nice being able to meet you again in person. I'm sorry the nite was a disappointment for ya, but i know seeing all the TA's out definately put a smile on ur face. just wanna clear things up with everyone here, TranceArmada may seem like the gloomy type on TA every so often.. but he's definately a chill guy in the live!

i gotta start a list of the official post party roll call .. !

i'll do it, but you'll have to provide me with the webspace, if you want to see it happen.

but yet we don't have Talla's set from Viva recorded do we? so what is there to compare it to.

I bet you that even if I recorded with flawless mixing, most of you will still bash me, cause I thought Talla sucked as a DJ? Oh and that isn't just my opinion, like I have mentioned earlier ask Eso, Styles, Mecha about it, all of them were there, and all of you will tell you that he sucked!!!!

My main reason for being pissed was that he did not change his set very much from that of the Trance Energy, provided with the fact that he fucked up on more than a couple of occasions, and granted that he is a big name DJ that does not excuse him from the fuckups.

hey i got an idea .. make a liveset mix, but don't tell anyone you did it, then get Itikia to post it up as an anonymous mix, that way people can have an impartial decision ..

just a suggestion

Still don't understand where that Tech Trance shit comes from... It's same as to say "I went to see Tiesto but I hated him cause he didn't spin prog".....

dude u missed the point, I never said Talla was tech-trance. Hordash said that!

were you at trance energy to see him drop this set? didnt think so, and i bet 99% of the crowd at viva wasnt either

do you honestly think all 2000 ppl at viva have the liveset from trance energy ?

most djs only change their tracklist every couple months or so

was too lazy .. and give it some time like 1 or 2 weeks, i don't think anyone will remember me announcing this on the boards..

just a suggestion

no I was not @ Trance Energy, and what the hell does being at Trance Energy have to do with any of this? I heard the set many times though. secondly, at least 75% of people inside VIVA were cracked out Asians and would you really go based on their opinions?

probably not cause most othem could care less about trance energy or even Talla for that reason. because just like almost everyone mentioned in this post earlier, every person that looked out of place inside VIVA was some how associated with TrancEaddict.com

most dj's? who dat? give me an example of more that 50% (since in your post you said "MOST DJ'S") of DJ's and how their tracklistings are not changed within the 2 months period or don't make statements like that dude.

I think it would be fun and entertaining to see a thread where we can compare the tracklistings of DJ's for 2 months period.
