Nu-Nrg@Viva Review!
kickass night as usual.. gonna go rest now. will post a more detail review later on.
Just got home from Viva, and I'm dead tired so I'll just say a few things.
Dennis Hahn: Didn't make it in time for his set, but met him on the dance floor. A great guy, hope to be able to see him next time.
Walter Rosati: More uplifting than usual, best set I've heard from him.
Nu NRG: Amazing. I wish they played longer.
I'm gonna sleep now, hope you all had as good a time as I did.
Great opener, glad to hear some staple tracks from this year...
As I may have exclaimed to those around me, my pants are still wet from bouncing to every beat of Andrea and Giuseppe's performance. Hearing live renditions of Connective and Space Flower literally blew my mind. Thanks to The Crew (John, Mike, Stef, Ashley and her amazing London Bunch, and the ever enthoused Dan) and Tatgirl for the photo with the talented performers.
While they only gave us an hour of their souls, I enjoyed each moment right at the very front of the floor, captivated by every snare and string that they felt necessary to give us.
Thanks to VIVA nightclub for providing a spacious venue to enjoy one of the groups near and dear to my <3. Glad to meet the Michigan crew, thanks for the Camels, always nice to taste those American ciggies. Hope your trip home is safe...

OMG, what a weekend.....
Gonna try to keep this short.
Got to club at 12:10, and Dennis Hahn was playing an AMAZING set. Congrats! Loads of TA's in attendance eager for the moment we'd all been waiting for so long, and the club filled up quicker than last time. Then Rosatti continued the festivities ("Sosei" was the BOMB!!!). Met several new people too (thanks for the bracelet Melody, & nice to meet u, Kaika (sp?)).
Took position at the front at 3am, and soon after, Nu-NRG were on. Giuseppe spotted me in front & waved hi. Something went wrong with the equipment midway thru the intro, so they had to start over again, at a different point of the set. Not too far in, the long awaited tune gets dropped: TAKE YOUR AIR!!!!!!!!! OMG I DIE! (so did RJ, and probably every other TA in the room). Lost about 5 lbs in sweat during that tune. Several of the transitions didn't work out so well, but who gives a shit? Nu-NRG was here, and that's all that mattered. Then went to the side of the stage to take shots from there, and "The Eternal" is dropped. OMG I CRY!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, the set didn't go into overtime as we had hoped, but they were kind enough to sign autographs and take pictures with everyone. Considering the amount of time it takes to set up & break down, you'd think they'd want to play a little longer? Jetted out of there real quick, as we have LOADS to do today (including picking someone up from the airport in 3 hrs).
Thanks to Vince for taking me in as your guest- congrats on winning the contest (u lucky bastard!). Thanks to Temporal Rhythm for bringing Nu-NRG to us after all our pleas. Thanks to Graham (u know why). Thanks to Arturo for helping my dream of hearing 'Take Your Air' live come true, and big thanks to Giuseppe and Andrea for the wonderful music you make us so happy with. We hope to see you again here soon.
Write more later- falling asleep at the keyboard.
I can now die happy.....

Nat, I can't wait to see your pics from the night, especially the crowd shots from your perch, email them to the list as soon as you can 
*yawns* wow wat a nite! i thought i was going to be so tired from downtown all day not a chance! soon as i walked in omg - nu nrg was awsome, to bad they didn't play a lil longer, o well! still godly in my mind! the only thing i didn't like was the 80 ppl jus sittin at the back by the VIP lounge until like 1, but in the end...it was all good - nu nrg unbelievably godly!
Wow... here was a night of proper clubbing.
I knew it was gonna be sweet because right when we got there at 11:40 Hahn was spinning Mindcircus, I heard it from the car haha.
We went in, and since I've never been to Viva, I was immediately blown away by the laser effects. Very impressive.
The only thing was like mystik trance said, up until about 1am nobody was on the dance floor. My girlfriend and I along with probably mystik trance (haha) were the only people on the floor for a while. Then around 2 am the main floor got a lil too crowded for my tastes (well, it just seemed like so many people were trying to get by in the middle of the floor?)
I heard truckloads of great tunes spun last night, I loved every second of it, except the song Rosati spun after Tiesto's Traffic... what the hell was that, it wasnt boom boom boom it was bvvvvvvvvrrrr for 5 minutes. But all in all absolutely awesome track selection from Dennis Hahn and Walter Rosati. Can't remember 'em all but I especially loved Whirlpool - Under the Sun, Rapid Eye - Santa Cruz, Nickelson - Ying, Octagen & Arizona - Starburst,
NU-NRG... nothing more needs to be said... they played Take Your Air, they played The Eternal... the rest is history. Hopefully somehow someone recorded their set in MP3 format- that would be too great.
I wish I would have asked NU-NRG for autographs when they were setting up and no one was there around midnight. Or at least a high five haha.
Amazing night, we left shortly after NU-NRG went off... I can't wait to see some pics, USA/Canadian border does not take kindly to clubbers, time for bed.

Nu Nrg's srt was great, I had a wikkid spot right in front..I dont know your name, but a thanks goes to the girl in the white Nu Nrg shirt for keepin our spot secure the whole night..
It was great to see all the TA's out in full force..Some of you I havent seen in a while it was great to see you all again. Thanx for makin Anya feel so welcome...She had a great time and said you were all really nice people! I cant wait to see the pics!
I also have to say hi to the walking fortune cookie...I never did actually have something to ask you...FREAK!!!!
ciao for now!
Whoever was ripping it up with the opening set. thumbs up. Nu-NRG ... can we make them T.O. residents? I need their live PA on my computer. Shite. so good.. i couldnt dance after dreamland.. danced out.. but holy **** Jose Amnesia - Eternal on the spot.. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Now all we need is chicane right? 
great night.
What a great party.. Nu-NRG was so good, they played dreamland.. i can die happy now... All the TOTAs out in full force, nice to see old faces and new faces... walter rosati simply tore it up after nu-nrg, i wasnt so fond of his before set, but i was still really sore from GG... remember hearing Holding onto Nothing, some A&B track (cant remember name), Crush, Connective, tons of good tracks, too lazy to list them... ask RJ, he knows every single track (even that 13 year old track... you are the king of men RJ)... for some reason that party reminded me of when PVD played here in october... oh ya... BIG UP TO THE MICHIGAN CREW... you guys made our night (im loving this zabiela cd), TOTAs led the party once again... never a dull party when theres a full TOTA crew...thx nat for showing me the light, how did i ever consider turning this party down?
i need sleep...
peace everyone, thx for the wicked night
ps. where was MO?

OH yea...almost forgot...
What were those tracks again RJ??
There was some remixes of:
Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison(notsurewho) <-- could NOT believe my ears when I heard that dropped! I'm pretty sure Prodigy used a sample in their tOOns which is why i thought it was them there RJ and
Age of Love - The Age of Love (Marco V/Mr. Sam vs Fred Baker) <-- I think this is the same one on the Release Records site....sure sounds the same!

awesome awesome night, it was good seing all the TAs after so long. Was nice seeing the Detroit City Crew as well!
I havent been to any parties since the no smokin law was enforced and being a smoker and all, i must say, its nice waking up in the morning and not smelling smoke on yourself.
once again awesome night and this night definately makes me wanna start comin out for parties more!
oh such a good time.. the openers did a good job aswell!! I have waited a while to hear these guys.. amazing... first time i went out to a party and got introduced as "Hi I am ... From
Jay & Melody (my little candy girl.. sooo cute 
)
how i made the party was just weird because i wasn't even supposed to come. What happened was i changed my mind at like 6:30 but glad i found ppl to give me a ride up there and back. I really appreciate it. Ryan and Liang hooked me up royaly. Thanks to all of u that made my bday party a good experince. It has been a while since i've seen most of you. It was also nice for all of u to wish me a hbday. It wouldn't have been possible without u. Also thanks to NU NRG who headlined such a beautiful event and for TR for bringing them in.
It was my first time at Viva. I loved every moment of it. That venue is just awsome for such special event and it was really worth the trip.
it was nice to see alotta friendly faces around. it defenitly added to the nite.
It was also my pleasure to meet a few new faces. The trancesphere crew, the lone Michigan TA (sorry i forgot the name), Anya who just had phenomenal energy the entire nite and all the new faces that i ran into. Ofcourse all the oldschools Az, Nat, Graham, Jeff, Carlos, Corinne, Christina, Hatimm Jenna, Mike, Porya and RJ and the many TAs that i just cant remember ATM.
NOW the music:
Dennis Hahn did not disapoint. Good trackselection for his timeslot. It set out the mood for the rest of the nite. Walter Rosati warmed up the dance floor well enough for NU-NRG's live performance which was just increadable to attend. NU NRG didn't fail to disapoint. It was also the first LIVE show that i've seen so it defenitly added to the experience. after that i had to leave because my ride was going back home so i had to miss out on Mark O.

Does anyone have the rest of this? I intended to videotape the show too, had fully charged my 5hr battery the day b4 in anticipation of using it on the boat cruise, never used it, but when I turned it on at Viva, the battery was TOTALLY DEAD! 
But it's all a toss up- either enjoy yourself, or miss the fun spending time behind the lens. 
no G&M Project - Sunday Afternoon (Nu-NRG Remix) >;d
extremely short non-extended performance was a little disappointing.
Nickelson - Ying (Solid Globe Remix)
It was my first party and though it's definitely not my usual scene I actually had a lot of fun. Kinda surprised myself. The lights were cool, the music was loud and everyone was really, really nice and seemed like they wanted to be there. Which was cool. So...yeah...definitely interesting and definitely something I'd do again...just don't tell any of my friends...lol
It was really great to meet everyone I met...though I'm really bad with names, but it was definitely cool. I think my roommate had fun too, which is very odd, cause she hates everything.
Thanks for putting on a great party, we'll definitely be back again.

Good night for all, nice to catchup with those I hadn't in a while and say hi to the rest
NU NRG - awsome stuff. nice guys, too bad they got in late, interview (thanx agaain ari) delayed a bit. too sleepy
Viva- very nice, comfy and ROOM TO DANCE!
my gf and her roomie had fun I think, strange, they are punk-rockers...new experience
Sasha next week?
Ampz
ps. got all of them (NU NRG, Walter & Dennis) to sign the shirt. Dont think Mark made it. Interview with dennis on this weeks show. Walter in a few weeks.
by the way what happend to mark oliver? i didnt see him play?
ooooo mann!!!!!!!!!!! just woke up
wat a great night. we got there at 12.30 and danced the night away till 6. i was dead tired by the end. walter and dennis did a great job and really pumped up the vibe for the crowd. but when nu-nrg came on....W O W!!! everyone was into it. sooo many ppl there tho, it was kinda tight sometimes but it was still great. but right after they finished, like half of the ppl left which gave more dancing room 
thx to nu-nrg for coming and TR for bringing them here
