amaaaaaaazing
Long-time TA lurker here, but first time poster. I actually thought the site died years ago, but I was recently reminded of it.
This was my 4th EDM party and by far the most amazing. My friend and I roadtripped from Cleveland, Ohio on an impulse where he whined to his boss about how he'd much rather be in Canada and his boss got mad and kicked him out. This was the first time my friend and I were alone in Canada and we absolutely loved Toronto at night - beautiful. Extremely crowded, also with traffic jams on Gardiner and lots of import racers left and right.
Some nice TA'er pointed out the guestlist line when I asked around and then came in the line a few seconds later. He saked if we were TA'ers but I replied we were only lurkers taking advantage of the guestlist. Sorry 
. Whose Ferrari was that outside? Who else saw the altercation between the black dudes outside? Anyone know what it was about?
When I first walked into the Guv I was extremely disappointed with the room size. I thought the main room would be at least twice as big, so I kept telling my friend to help me find the main room. When I realized that was the main room and saw how small the crowd was 2 hours after opening, I guess I looked like I was about to cry so some nice girl gave me some first-timer facts about the Guv and it made me feel a lot better actually.
Mark Oliver's set was amazing - surpassed my expectations. I highly believe he got me when he dropped "Say Hello," but that song had been owning me for a week and I was hearing it everywhere. We were both already tired from the drive there so we didn't have too much energy all night.
Above and Beyond were simply amazing. They played every song in my "I hope they play this" mental list - and more. First time I experienced a laser - amazing, surreal - and the ice blast machine. - Did you guys notice when A&B were spurting the ice machine (seen at very beginning of video posted here) they were doing some exaggerated alternating seesaw pumping motion on the button? I thought it was hillarious. - We don't have anything close to this in Cleveland. Moments of the night for me were Satellite, followed by Till There Was You, and then Adagio. I missed No One On Earth because that was one of the several times my friend and I were passing out on some couches. From what I heard from upstairs they remixed it with "For A Girl" and I really wasn't liking it. Like they corrupted a perfect thing.
We weren't able to find any currency exchange places when we got into Canada because they were all closed so we got raped on having to pay all the same prices in USD. The bartenders were assholes and wouldn't make change for a $20 USD bill so they charged us that much for 2 Coronas. That's when we decided we had enough and we'd just dehydrate for the rest of the night. Other things I didn't like were the 40-year-old, mean-looking stoned Asians and all the guys without shirts rubbing up against me. Boy, were there a lot of Asians.
We left around 6 because the party just kept on going and never seemed to stop. And everyone kept dancing! We had no energy left and still had to make a 5-hour drive home. Then we had to spend 45 minutes walking around downtown to find a gas station to buy oil for my car. I checked it when we got at the Guv and it was bone dry. Oh well, destroying a $4000 car was well worth it for the experience I had.
Most amazing time I've ever had. I plan on getting a lot more people to come up there for Labour of Love.

A little over a year ago I was thinking of the acts I really wanted to see that I hadn't yet and Blank and Jones, Above and Beyond and Chicane were the three I thought of the most.
This lived up to my expectations every bit as much as Blank and Jones did.
Even before they came on Mark Oliver was playing all my favourite tracks, Shivers was on as I was walking in the door immediately followed the new PVD track.
The one thing that I really wanted to hear from A and B was Air for life, my favourite track right now and they dropped it the first track! I went ballistic! I could have left right then and had a complete night, everything afterwards was bonus!
I thought their entire set was great, it maintained a really positive energy the whole way through filled with classic after classic. I love it when DJ's play so many of their own tracks and remix's.
Another highlight of the night for me was that they played Birth of an angel. I love that even more than shivers and was so happy to hear it.
The TA's were in full force last night, we really had a great area at the front going on. I was just hoping from group to group of us all night long and ripping up the dancefloor with the usual suspects.
The Vibe was great, the music was great and the air canon was great!
All in all one of the parties of the year!
Great to have a chance to keep the party going with some of you afterwards too, its always fun to do a little chilling after a great night!
I probably wont be back in toronto until i move back for school so I hope everyone has a great summer!
incredibly late for the review. Short and sweet, best set i've ever heard thrown down live. Period.
Music 10/10
Guv 10/10
prices of booze 0/10
People/TA's 11/10
Shoutouts, Barry of course for always being barry, Drew, Dannie, Aren, Tracy, Tommy ( glad you remember who i am :P) Lisa Loo, those asians were incredibly nice for giving up their place. Laura, glad you made it from hamilton, and those lovely people from kingston for bringing me home. Max and Bobby for making the ride up fun
See you at all Matt Darey!
