Global Gathering Review
Holy fuck. Oakey fkn kicked ass. MO then slaps us with a legendary set. Lots of classics.
Guest line was pretty shit, moving slower than main line.
Crowd was awesome, lots of friendlies.
What a night. It took me 6 months to shake a bad experience at guv.
Im happy to say i enjoy partying there again.
Thanks
Can anyone provide a review for sven vath??
Try ticket master, as they'd released another block of tickets last night....they might still be available...

Holy fuck indeed... that was some wicked party. I didnt have any problem with guestline cause I went early for Dekoze's set. Dekoze ruled as always, cept for a few trainwecks and one time when he pressed the start/stop button on the turntable that was playing
Meanwhile in the Guv, MO was warming up the crowd for Oakie but his style of warming up is very different from Dekoze's... MO starts slow and builds it progressively (boring) while Dekoze just lays down banging tunes from start to finish... Im still a big MO fan, but his sets vary alot and he didnt do it for me tonight...
As for Oakie, cant say anything good or bad, I didnt see any of it! The guv was RAMMED for Oakie and there was no point trying to enjoy it w/o dancing room... On the other hand, in the KH there was plenty of room to dance, and Hawtin TORE IT UP!!! HOLY SHITE that guy can make the crowd dance... Cant wait to see him again... totally not what I expected. Magda, who was on after Dekoze and before Richie, was too boring... she played some somewhat acidy funky prog but most of it wasnt enough to get me dancing...
In the Drink, Krafty Kuts layed down some wicked tunes from what I heard, I spent most of that time in the KH...
On the SKYBAR... John Aquaviva... WOW.... fucking great... what a dj...he layed down some wicked house... couldnt get enough...
and then finally SVEN... meh... not so great, played some banging tunes for the most part but he was also some playing some less exciting techno, not my style... he still got me dancing for 3 hours but he wasnt close to how good Richie Hawtin was.
The crowd was wicked for this party, everyone seemed to come out for it, lots of eye candy, and tons of wicked dancers...
I give it a 9/10
Thx John for the reduced list
MY god this was sick...
Came in first the Kool Haus and saw Deko-ze destry it...proceeded with Magda - MAN SHE'S CUUUUUUUUUTE - Blew my brains out (and everybody elses). Then I went to see the opening of Oakenfold and stayed there for almost 2 hours...holly fuck Oakie redeemed himself as far as I'm concerned....amazing set...second song
SCHILLER - DAS GLOCKENSPIEL 
I nearly died right there!!
Came back to the KH saw a bit of Hawtin who was good but something kept skipping - recod wise...
Went to the skybar and just relaxed...saw some pretty girls but all were with guys 
sucks about that!
Came down again into the KH and saw Vath aboslutely RIP THAT MOTHER DOWN...holly smokes he was AMAZING! I loved his shirt "Good music, I dance, No good music, I not dance" 
Left early to catch some sleep and now i'm off to see Armin on the boat...WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO pics will be later 
aaaaaaaaaah cant seem to fall asleep after 3 hrs from comin home.....
this party rocked from the beginning till the end....and what a great morning it was outside...didint expect much from Paul Oakenfold but he fuckin ROCKED the place....i wasnt there for the whole set but when he played LE ROCK 01 the whole place went insane....
Richies set was also amazing comparing to some of his stuff i heard b4...had a chance to talk to him and get his autograph 
...also Sven Vath proved to be a good replacement for Cox....
...the ppl..the atmosphere...the music...overall a great nite
admittedly, SCHILLER - DAS GLOCKENSPIEL was the tune of the night. oakenfold opened with li kwan - point zero (2003 remix?) and then into das glockenspiel! he played his typical set.
however, sven vath was the man! great techno, great to dance to. crazy tired. i went from dave matthews straight to guv. danced until 6:30am. drove my mom to work! took a nap, and here i am!
to those at armin and tenaglia, hope they are owning.
lastly, HAPPY CANADA DAY!
this being the fourth time i saw oakenfold, it was by far the best..amazing set (other tracks i can think of, remix of u2- beautiful day, radiohead - street spirit, boomerang)
thanks again John!
My Review,
Ritchie rocked!
Trainwrekenfold blew
Oliver closed up nicely...
I didnt see the rest but i wanted to catch a bit of sven....
Short and sweet!
hehe
got infront of guv at around 11, met john to get my ticket (w007!) and upon seeing how long the comp tickets line was, john let me just pass right through! nothing like a line bypass 
thanks bro!
coatchecked my shiz, got into KH and realized i forgot to get my camera out of my bag. this would be one of the many trips to coatcheck to retreive something forgotten great thing was, the nice girl behind the counter gave me no flak whatsoever each time i needed to get something. great service there
got into KH just as Deko-Ze was finishing up (wow! old george micheal/slam remix!)
now it was time for Magda. haven't seen or heard her before, but imo she played a good chill set. not the greatest for a warmup, but it was a very nice electro-prog kinda feel to it. plus she was mad cute, so naturally i was enjoying it right near the end of her set she started either playing crazy percussive tracks, or was fooling around huge on final scratch, cuz the sound was amazing: all the different ranges of beats, high hats, at really different intervals. that impressed me.
on to richie. now, i wasn't expecting much since his performance at turbo back in Nov 2002... but now i can see why people travel all over just to hear him.
THE MAN TORE IT UP! massive buildups! unique breakdowns! sick looping! the man had the place going nuts! too bad about the skipping problem tho. i saw them replace a needle, but even after that it happened a couple more times. but honestly, even with that problem, the set was a huge success. in typical richie fashion, only a few tracks were trainspottable:
misc - flow control (first track, a beautiful opener)
technasia - acid storm (TUNE!)
dk8 - murder was the bass (last track, and he mashed it up good!)
got richie to sign my flyer from Nov 2002, (should've brought a silver marker, cuz i can't see shit, lol) 'the sound of the third season' cd insert, and i got a pic (heavily overexposed, wtf... )
now it was time for the master, that is sven v�th. i was expecting a heavy electro track influence, going by his prior set lists, but man oh man, he pulled out the good stuff!!! 
i don't ever remember dancing that hard! he just kept throwing it at us at one point, it was crazy; hard banging techno 
his track selection was unbelieveable, pulling out some of the sickest techno and electro i have ever heard! i was in disbelief at one point.. overloaded with unknown techno goodness.. even tho i am COMPLETELY exhausted, i would jump at the chance to see that set again right now.. unbelieveable. 
i composed a tracklist of some sorts, and it helped that i had my minidisc full of v�th's sets to listen to on the busride home to help id.
misc - flow control
richard bartz - feed the flame
joachim spieth - use case
jake fairley - blood from a stone (possibly?)
the micronauts - high rise (TUNE OF THE NIGHT!)
dave clarke - just ride
tonio & david carretta - my telephone is dead
dave clarke presents chicks on speed - what was her name (lfo remix)
alter ego - rocker
al ferox & tonio - bionik
as well, there's a few tracks that i heard in some other sets that aren't id'd, and they are killer!
( a wicked track that has a siren sound that builds up huge.. really high energy.. it's track 13 in his timewarp 2004 set, and track 22 in his goa club, rome set )
( old-sounding synths bassline, really simple, with a vocal sample saying "my mind is ..." going through it. starts off ambient then movies into nice percussive techno. track 19 in his Xcess Powerzone set [03-26-2004] )
and sven's final track, it's SOOOOOOOO familiar. should be able to find it tonight.. very nice proggy track.. sucked that he had to fade it out when it was just getting good, but oh well.
got my cd insert signed too, but lol, sven signed ON TOP of richie's signature! :stongue :stongue :stongue just a mish mash of strokes, which is what it would be anyways
pics should be up soon.. i forgot my extra battery at home, so i had to be selective with the shots.. 
shouts to the TAs that showed up for this: John, Ben, Rob, Val & Mike (i think..) .. i missed the meetup
and yes, i realize this is a long-winded review, but i don't care.
MR. V�TH PWN3D J00 & M3 !!
al ferox & tonio - bionik
I hate life. I should have been there for this tune!!!!!
ken listen to ..........
Huntemann - Disco Tech (monika Kruse mix) and the original
these two tunes make me wanna punch people!
tru dat....disco tech is a siiiiick tune...
plz anyone got it in .mp3 format?
AHHHHHHH Huntemann !! Okay about two years ago I heard this track by them called phreaks, but there is no record of it that I could find anywhere....
Until I saw your post, I was spelling it Hunteman, and spelling phreaks, freaks. I am so glad I found this in discogs 
I am definitly going to check out disco tech.
yeah this track is sick as hell! heard it so many times in sets, but never been able to find it!
i remember this track from a marco v set! right after this he goes into c:\del *.mp3 ! can't wait for marco v.. but..
AHHHHHHH I WANT MORE TECHNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW...oaky redemption...
Im not the biggest fan of oaky, tiesto, armin, PVD, junkie are better. i saw oakenfold last year in kool haus and his set was only half decent, and i remember him screwing up while beat matching then mixing into the next song u could hear it.
Oaky's track selection was far better this time, he stepped up and raised the bar for himself, putting a set together that was of the likes of tiesto armin pvd etc. being the godfather he was able to once again get away with a bad beat match.
All in all his set was just nuts, and he dominated the crowd, as soon as he was done people started leaving, oliver was decent but oaky wore everyone out.
I saw armin back on april 8th and tiesto at aria on jun 11th. armin at guv was insane, i havent seen guv that packed since.
August 12th Armin Van Buuren in central park. thats where ill be
Just remembered funny moment of the night....
Seeing the innocent looking Glen Baxter from City TV partying it up to Paul Oakenfold in the middle of the packed main room...
Anyone else see him?
�getting mental pics of glen baxter around the guv crew....hahhahhhahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha
erm...
Can we see some pictures please?!

talking about the tune you told me to get, huntemann - discotech [monika kruse remix].mp3 .. was just saying i recognized from a marco v set.
and YES! we NEED that tune that mauro played.. in-frickin-sane it was.. i've been listening to all the latest sets from clubnight and other releases, but i haven't recognized anything yet..
i did however sort of id another track sven played
it's a remix of Nathan Fake - Outhouse! not sure if it's the beaty tool remix or not, cuz in the version that sven played, the bassline/synth was looped/cut up, to the effect that you could BARELY recognize it. sick as hell. trying to fully id this as i type..
my god i am turning into a full-fledged technohead.. and i like it !!

yeah, you shouldn't have missed it dude..
richie was killer too. much more danceable than sven, but v�th's tracks are so out there that they make you go all out
sven played this other track.. "flying high.." was the sample that stood out.. very techy/electro, and he was singing to it all the way through.. then, the music cuts outs and a sample says "beat" then it goes right into the tune again. awesome track..
there's tons more that i remember going "wtf?!?! WOOOOOOWWWWWWW" to, but that one stood out in my mind.
and trust me, this remix of outhouse is unreal. try and get pascal feos live @ clubnight 06-19-04 and it's @43 min in.. had me going nuts. and i am positive sven dropped it.
damn, i haven't been this excited and active posting since.. i can't even remember when!
ah-ha! found the outhouse remix!
Nathan Fake - Outhouse (Beaty Tool Remix)
sounds better pitched up a little bit, but this is it!
and i also got an id for his closing/encore track as well!
James Holden - A Break In The Clouds
sven dropping prog? what?! YUP! now, this was after i saw him and some of the people behind the decks with him smoke a j, so he was nice and chilled!
i thought oakenfolds first hour was pretty mediocre, but the last two hours were amazing, when he played southern sun i nearly pissed my pants, man this dudes track selection was wicked but the mixing was okay,could have been better. but over all i was fuckin impressed. oakenfold you made my night.
i thought that the guvernment was the place to be tonight, KH was ok but not perfect, i'm not a house fan, im a tranceaddict, svath was shit in my opinion.
mark oliver did a good job, but it was not the best i have heard from him, he played some crappy house tunes for a while which i was not down for.
over all a great fuckin clubbing experience. look forward to more
