DuMonde @ VIVA
WOW. 
I must sleep - more later.
alrite guys, i'm gonna break with tradition and post a super long review ..
OMFG !!!
ps. somebody wants u to make some noise for the DJ MOBIUSSSSSS.. 
A lot of trance these dayz are pretty chessey ... DUMONDE spun some SICK shit!
I CALL IT PROPPA TRANCE!
Full review later ... just saving my spot
That was sick...........
Arrived there with Loca, Loco, Tordan, and BobbyB at about 10:30ish, walked into the place and saw tons of TA's out to support our local's Eso and Mobius... Great job guys both of you spun great sets. Wikkid, wikkid job...
Partied my ass off all night, and ended up losing part of celly(
) dunno what happened there... Meh as long as it works still I really dont care..
DUMONDE............ Damn that was sweet.... He was great.. I didn't want to stop moving to his sick beats... Everything that came out of those speakers sound so wikkid... I was just amazed.. I think I would definetly pay to see him spin again anytime...
All in all a wikkid night... Viva is a lot smaller then I remember it(then again at New Years it was much much more packed)... The night gets a 10/10....
Oh and I can't forget......... All you TA's that were there rock... It ws so good to see all the support that was there for Mobius and Eso..... I think we owned the floor... See everyone again soon....
the only reason im up so early is work! $^$#^#^%&....
but it was good....saw lotta ppl. oh btw my ears are still ringing...OW!!!
Mobius, tell me ya threw down some techno. C'mon. 
OMG!!!!!!!!
Wow that was amazing!!!
Definitely the greatest night ever at Viva, and the best ive had in all of 2003.
The music was SO insane
I needed that so bad. Ive been dying for a night of amazing music for a while.
And the vibe was so amazing too
All in all had a super night 
Also want to say to Temporal Rhythm....Sick set and thanks for bringing those guys...damn i love Dumonde
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!?!?!?!!!!
I mean I have been waiting for dumonde for 3+years, and I knew I was going to really like thier stuff.
BUT HOLY GOD they blew my expectations WAY out of the water.
For me that was the BEST party of 03, and probably the best TO party in 2 or so years.
I am still shocked - as E2EK1EL said... PROPPA TRANCE!
I have never heard so many melodic tracks in one set, and the energy was perfect.
3/4 through their set my girlfriend 'SugarRush' got them to sign my 'Never Look Back' cover - So glad we did that.
I could go on and on, but it would just be repeats
VIVA - Great job, again we were very impressed with all aspects of this event.
We brought a fellow trance head with us, we were hoping he would like it... he went nuts all night.
To Boy Trance - I believe the song your sister Debbie loved so much played by Walter Rosati was Mesh - Purple Haze - Tell her that.
Flec - as always - nice to see you
Kinda dissapointed with DuMonde, maybe i was too tired, was awake since 5:30 friday morning. Many tracks sounded too similar, but some solid tunes though. 7/10 for dumonde. What was the mix name for the clocks track that the DJ before DuMonde spun?
I would like to start my review with:
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!
At the beginning, as we were walking towards the door I couldn't help but say "Oh fuck... look at all the Trance Addicts". I'll curb my previous views now, because you guys helped maintain an amazing vibe.
As for the boys from Deustchland:
Dumonde rocked like no before. I haven't danced (or sweated) like that since... fuck! my early days of raving 7years ago. Ever since I first heard Never Look Back and I think Tomorrow, I've known that Dumonde was nothing but good shit and was something that was going to continue impressing me with their sound. So of course, the next thing to buying every track they release, was seeing them play out. TWO FRICKIN YEARS of waiting paid off very handsomely. I saw Hennes & Cold about a year ago... they were another act that i wanted to see... they were impressive, but nothing like this. Once again. HOLY SHIT!
BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM-->breakdown-->vocal-->break-->BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM
Hands up! (waving side to side)
Hands up! rock out with your cock out!
Hands up! air-synth stabbin!
The beats were steady and strong. the beginning they played a lot of stuff that was similar to their work, but at one point DeLeon got on the mic and said "For now on, we're playing on DuMonde tracks"
and they did. They played ...and then they started to dance, Tomorrow, Trauma (non-vocal tho 
), Never Look Back, Can you dig it, Binary Finary, God Music... and HUMAN!
All the amazing shit.
The only way it could've been better is if i had brought one of my records to get signed.
Is it just me, or did they NOT play "mind made up" ??
A few weeks ago, there was a party in which someone reviewed after wards and said "that wasn't a party, that was a rave". Well... This wasn't a party, This wasn't a rave, this wasn't some club night. It was all of the above, and then some. Everyone was bouncing... it was amazing. If they weren't, they were seconds earlier, or a synth breakdown was being played. Truly awesome.
And of course my shouts and greetz:
Avro + Jessica, his buddy John, Dennis, Charmsgrl(?), Chiclet and her friend, and ummm i dunno who else. Oh yeah, the hottie in the red shirt (jacket around waist) that was in front of me a lot.
To the DJ before DuMonde - Nice selection. I truely enjoyed the tracks you played. In particular - Cowgirl2003. very nice.
To the Temporaral Rhythm Crew. Thanks guys. You restored my faith in trance parties and in Viva.
I haven't been to Viva since the dreaded Ascension of Doom, which is sad because I live in markham (10min away), and so i've steered clear of Viva. Now that Viva cleaned itself up, it's a fucking amazing venue.
Good Job Viva crew.
Wow...sounds like it was an amazing time...
Sorry I missed it....ah well...
Anyone have a tracklisting?

Let me start by throwing in the obligatory OMFGGGGGGGGGG THAT WAS INSANE
Now that that's out of the way, the night was simply amazing. It was my first time at Viva and let me say it's definitely not my last! The light work at Viva is simply awesome, the sound system is great too, fantastic venue. The people there are very nice, very helpful and are there to have a good time too. It was also always cool too, and there was also room to dance.
When I heard DJ Eso drop tracks like Flight 643 and Mobius drop Live Another Life, I thought that there would be no way for Dumonde to top that. But, I was so, so very wrong. I don't think I stopped jumping for their entire set 
the only thing though was that there were WAY too many people there who have never heard electronic music before. Not that it's a problem, I think it's great they're coming out to these events, but if they perhaps danced a bit more it would have been awesome.
JamX and De Leon were so into the set, as they sang into their headphones and the mixer lights during Never Look Back and Memory. Even a shoutout to tranceaddict.com!
For the brief conversation I had with De Leon, I asked "when will the remix of Symsonic be released?" and his answer was....
"*chuckles* I don't even know"
D'oh! Oh well, AMAZINg remix, I say it was the highlight of the night. Or maybe that's because I've been waiting to hear it for 4 months now 
So to wrap up:
Venue: 10/10 - my only worry was that there were very few people there around 12, but it filled up later on.
DJs: 15.5/10 - no necessary explanation here
Enjoyment: 4324/10
Some other tracks not ID yet:
DJ Snowman - And then they start to Dance (Jamx de leon remix)
Rank 1 - Symsonic (Dumonde Remix) 
? (I forget the bands name) - Blue Monday (maybe Freeland Remix??)
I asked em to play running, had that song in my head for such a long time, and never thought I would hear it at a club. When I asked they said, "No were gonna try and stick with some newer stuff" like the jurgen vries remix and newer dumonde, I almost cryed. and then all of a sudden
WHERE DID ALL THE CLASSICS COME FROM!!!!!!!!!
That was absolutley amazing. And when Running came on mr. DeLeon looks down at me with a big smile, and all I could do was return it.
Was a fucking amazing night, and for the first time I visited viva I am SOoooooooooooooo very impressed by the place, and the people there. Met some Real cool tranceaddicts too, told you all I don't post alot so heres my effort.
Maybe I see some of you next week at system if I can go. BTW I was the guy in the DJ booth trying to look at the names of all the CD's and CDr's they had there, and damn did they have some great trax.
What a great memory!!!
wow
Nice to hear sounded fuckin wicked. : )
Amazing set from Dumonde! I also heard last 15 minutes of Rosati's set and it was solid as well, great job. Friendly crowd, great vibe, great music = Great party, definetly best of 2003.
ohhhhhhh yaaa! fucking sweeet!
The night was INCREDIBLE from the very beginning. I'm so glad I chose to do that yesterday! I got there half way through DJ Eso's set, and you did an wikkid job, love your style man! Then Mobius came on, wow!!!! stellar set, get tune selection and when you dropped Live Another Life I was in heaven! congrats to both of you!!
I dunno who was the DJ after Mobius, he was very good tho, made some sweet mixes.
But all I gotta say is DUMONDE knows how to rock a party right! these guys are absolutely crazy! the music is still playing in my ears, woooooww!!
Also....!!! The TA's!!!! amazing turnout! met a whole bunch of awsome people, you guys keep the vibe nice and strong! I will definatly see you again at future parties! 
I haven't been to a trance party this fucking good since I first started partying over 2 years ago....
They played all my favourite tracks.
Partying sober it tough shit, but worth it when guys like Dumonde come to town.
They have to be one of a handful of trance artists I wouldn't think twice about going to see!

hollllllllllylyylylyl mother of god!!!
could the night be any more perfect?
Although Viva was slightly packed, the vibe was surreal. Everybody had their hands in the air and I've never felt so incredible.
Mobius: Huge props to ya man. What an amazing set.
Dj Eso: Don't beat yourself up over your set, it was quite decent, and I could tell you were having trouble beatmatching with the big system.
Temporal Rhythm: We gotta have the TAs spinning for all the TR events. I've never seen the place groovin' so early.
Dumonde: You own me. Thank you for playing Running....my god I died.
Mike: Dammit man, you sure know how to spoil a good time!! God dammit that must suck!!! Popping your knee 5 mins after Dumonde comes on. I hope it feels better soon.
Christina: Nice meeting you, and damn you bounce all over the place. Began to lose count of how many times you tripped on me lol! Just one thing tho: watch where you are putting that cigarette. My arm says 'ow'.
SgtFoo: Man you are awesome, looking forward to partying with you again!!!
Shouts to everyone else! Don't wanna make a list cuz I might forget someone 
Huge close to the summer. TR does it again
RAISE YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR FOR DUMONDE!!
thats a pretty cool pic!! Looks like power rangers powering up!!
