SETA Best of 2004!!!
It's time to ask what is your favorite?
Best Southeast Region Party of 2004
Sander Kleinenberg @ The Mark, Atlanta, GA -- What a perfect night. The lasers were awesome, CO2 tanks cooling me down, air horn deafening me, great friends dancing around me. Props to Madhatter for throwing the best party of 2004.
Best Southeast Region Club of 2004
The Mark, Atlanta GA -- From the first time I step foot in the Mark, I was in love. It may not be the biggest club, but it makes up for that in countless other ways. The vibe from the people are great. More underground, less posers. It can be crowded but yet it was still comfortable, unlike Space.
Top 3 Album of 2004
Sander Kleinenberg - This is Everybody Too
Sasha - Involver
James Holden - Balance 005
Top 3 Track of 2004
Above & Beyond - No One On Earth (Gabriel & Dresden Mix)
Blue Haze - Into Nothing (Hamel's Last Time For 9 Mix)
Petter vs Unkle - These Days vs What Are You To Me? (Sasha's Involver Mashup Mix)
Best Breakthough Artist
Matthew Dekay - Trancey tribal progressive house = troucey. And I love it. His productions are top notch. His recent sets on Essential Mix and ASOT XXL are banging. I hope to see him live someday.
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
Sasha - He has taught me that DJing is about being creative and conveying your thoughts to mix the moods of your audience. It's about letting go of archaic tools (turntables) and embracing new technologies (Ableton Live 4) to support creativity and originality. He has not pigeon-holed himself in a single genre like many others. He is progressive-minded, always striving for improvement and not afraid to change. Cheers Sasha.
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
Paul van Dyk - I wish I didn't have to pick him but that's the truth. He has been sub-par this past year. Consistently playing the same tracks month after month. No flow and all anthems. I miss the old days when I barely knew what tracks he played. He tried harder and sounded better.

For me it would have to be James Holden.. i didnt know about the guy untill i heard his cd.. after that i was hooked.. his live sets.. are just plain NASTY and his track selection are perfect. every song he plays goes perfect with the song before
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
Markus Schulz his style.... his productions.. so mellow.. but still trancy.. love that progressive trance!
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
Ferry let me down... saw him live this year.. and not really my favorite.... his set was the worst i saw this year me thinks... even though his em rocked... its been downhill since then
Best after party happening:
Cock On Face!!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahhahahahhahahah.....
Best Party-- Magik Musik/Everybody loves the great outdoors...Tiesto and Sander K @ space 3-08-04...the most insane club night i think there ever was... tiesto for 6.5 hours(when he was playing good), and then sander till 1 afternoon--11 hours!!!
album- definitely Sander everybody too, James Holden-Balance,Markus Shulz- coldharbour
club-- lets see I pick Space considering I been there like 20 times in the past year...although nerve during conference threw some sick parties and that place was awesome...i hope they get that shit back up for wmc05...phazon in a little place bangs...
tracks- no one on earth- G&D mix, white room- the white room, blue haze-into nothing, deepsky-talk like a stranger
appreciate edm... Sander K, james holden, and james zabiela...holden for his perfect proggressive nature and zabiela for...if i have to tell you why for him just go see him dj....unlike anything else he is taking it all to the next level...Sander for his work with pioneer on the dvj's definitely pushing the envelope with those things, they are awesome, and also the music that he finds and plays just gets me in a frenzy all 7 TIMES i saw him this year, i hope i can beat this next year ....
let me down... i must also say PvD and Tiesto (except for in march, but the shows since them that i have seen and others that many have told me about recently)
not that i think there is anything bad about them but the last times i saw either of them i wasn't impresssed oh and it sux to be a sardine also when they come to town...
Re: SETA Best of 2004!!!
Best Southeast Region Party of 2004
Sander Kleinenberg @ The Mark, Atlanta, GA -- this is THE party that stands out above everything else - the added sound, lighting, lasers, and siren got things set up, an awesome group of people came out to party, and then one of the best djs in the world took this all into his hands, and molded a night that, for anyone who was in attendence, will never be forgotten! this set was so banging, with so much energy, that nobody could have predicted it, or can ever hope to reproduce it 
Best Southeast Region Club of 2004
The Mark, Atlanta GA -- this is the newly up-and-coming HOT spot in atlanta. it's very small and intimate, but has an underground feeling like feel other clubs in this country still posess... composed of low ceilings, a small dance floor, very nice sound system (albeit very loud some nights hehe), private bathrooms, and 2 VERY chillin lounges/bars, this is somewhere you can always go with your friends, hear some GREAT music, and really just enjoy yourself. bartenders that are completely unforgiving as far as pouring strong drinks, and lack of annoying security guards/bouncers push this club up over the edge - anyone who has experienced it knows that this place knows that the Mark may well be a legend one day!
Top 3 Album of 2004
Sander Kleinenberg - This is Everybody Too
James Holden - Balance 005
Top 3 Track of 2004
Blue Haze - Into Nothing (Hamel's Last Time For 9 Mix)
Superchumbo - DirtyFilthy
Shiny Grey - Why (Wally Lopez Vocal Mix)
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
Sander Kleinenberg - this is one of the few people all year who has continued to amaze me - from livesets around the world, one of the best CDs of the year, a mind blowing performance here in atlanta, and some amazing remixes, this guy has got it all!! it has exposed me to an all new side of electronica (progessive house, which I used to really hate), and made me start branching out and discovering a LOT of new stuff
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
Tiesto - you can read my post about him in the "worst sets/djs" ever thread, but I'm sorry, I think he's "over the hill" now 
I hafta say PvD has been very dissapointing too... nothing new or spectacular, just the same ole same ole... i have a feeling he can still come out of this slump though!!
Best Southeast Region Party of 2004
Junkie XL - 10/31/04 @ Eleven 50, Atlanta - I wouldnt say it was the best performance of the year DJ wise but I think it was the most amount of fun had by all that I have experienced. Everyones costumes made the night good fun and the after party madness at Scotts is an experience I won't forget.
Best Southeast Region Club of 2004
The Mark, Atlanta GA - More intimate and can create more atmosphere than Eleven 50 but the bathroom staff are wankers. However, teh Djs perfroming there have been amazing and I usually come out of there sweaty as hell.
Top 3 Albums of 2004
Faithless - No Roots
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
James Zabiela
Top 3 Tracks of 2004
Ficta - Eli
Ozgur Can - Reclaim
Departure - She Turns (Markus Schulz remix)
Best Breakthough Artist
Ozgur Can - It's official !- I am an Ozgur whore - Few Djing performances but his productions have been on the whole first class. Reclaim has brought a smile to my face (and very few others
) - His sound can get a bit similar after a while and I hope you puts a sweet twist on it next year.
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
Scottaculous - No damn releases

Armin van Buuren @ Eleven50, Atlanta 4/1/04......pre-dinner @ Vickery's, hearing No one on Earth (G&D Mix) live the first time, getting a free vinyl from Armin and a couple of autographs from the man himself. I can't ask for more
Best Southeast Region Club of 2004
The Mark @ Atlanta, I think the ATLTAs have made some good points about this club already. The vibe and the intimacy of the club saids it all
Top 2 Album of 2004
Gabriel and Dresden- Bloom
Sasha- Involver
Top 3 Track of 2004
Perry O'Neil- Wave Force
Above and Beyond- No One on Earth (Gabriel and Dresden Remix)
Ridgewalkers feat El- Find (Original/Andy Moor Remix)
Best Breakthough Artist
Perry O'Neil, I just love this guy's style. His productions never disappoint. With a brand new radio show, this guy will shine even more in 2005.
*Another breakthrough artist worth mentioning: Ozgur Can *
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
Not just one person, everyone in the scene. The DJs, producers, and the party goers. Especially the ATLTAs 
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
PvD.....yep, same tracks throughout the set and way too hard for my taste. I'm thinking about skipping out on PvD next month when he's here

Ozgur Can ---I about died when I heard "Not Even Winds." He has a money style that is new and refreshing. He'll have an even bigger 2005.
*Another breakthrough artists worth mentioning: Luke Chable, Perry O'Neil, Matthew Dekay, Fred Baker *
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
James Zabiela........if you can see him live, DO IT! UNREAL!
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
Oakenfold @ Amphitheater. Hard to say, cause he is the man who got me into EDM. 1999 and 2000 were magical years for him. He played some storming tracks this night, but his mixing is so bad.......and that hair.......come on Oakey, so much potential.....I love all of his productions and his track selections, but just straighten up when you are spinning live!
Best Southeast Region Party of 2004
Sander Kleinenberg @ The Mark, Atlanta, GA -- HOLY SHIT!!! Was that not a fucking night! FAN FUCKING FAN TASICLITIC! 
Just everything made that night that night...if you missed it SHAME ON YOU! Sander owns my soul
Best Southeast Region Club of 2004
The Mark, Atlanta GA -- The best damn club ever! I went to this for the first time a year ago for a photo shoot for JIVE Magazine. I was like wow. It's nice it's the home of Maddhatter Radio Events!

Matthew Dekay has done so much work this year. I fell deeply in love with him after his asot set too. SOMEONE BRING HIM TO ATLANTA HINT HINT!!!
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
Sander I Love you! It was a good year for you and you really have made me dance my ass off this year. Plus it's nice to be in the Ultra Pay-per-view thing with you on stage SCANDALOUS!!!21onetwo1

Paul van Dyk -

Best Southeast Region Party of 2004
Junkie XL/Scott's B-day - 10/31/04 @ Eleven 50, Atlanta. I will never forget this weekend. Surreal to be in a club with everyone wearing nutty costumes (I even saw spongebob- ha!). Afterparty was so ridiculously fun. Always great to be around some of my favorite people 
.
Top 3 Albums of 2004
in this order: holden- balance 005, sasha- involver, sander- everybody too
Top tracks in no particular order:
Ava Mea- In the end
PQM- You Are Sleeping (PQM meets Luke Chable Vocal Pass)
Starkid- Crayons (leama and moors in loving memory of starkid mix)
Blue Haze - Into Nothing (Hamel's Last Time For 9 Mix)
Best Breakthrough Artist:
Probspot/Rico...I'll never forget the euphoric feeling he's given me while blasting his tunes on the long drives back home from atlanta (while still slightly f*cked up) .
Two People Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM:
Holden and Master Yee/ The Yeester Bunny
Ok, I've been out of Atlanta over the past year, so I can't comment on the best club and parties, BUT, I do have a few things to add:
I would like to officially say goodbye to Backstreet, which closed it's doors this year after 27 years of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week of pouring in the Atlanta club scene.Backstreet was my EDM home for many months when I was very lost in life..... For those of you who partied there on more than one occassion, I think you will agree that there was something special about Backstreet...a feeling of freedom and release and just a great place to kickback, get f*cked up and let go....
One person who changed the way I think about EDM:
Tiesto.....showed me just how over the top a DJ can go...To the Olympics and beyond!!!
One person that needs to get a clue:
PVD....sir, you are at a pivotal moment in your career...please return to your former self and reclaim your thrown as the God of trance and SAVE US ALL FROM TIESTO!!!! 
Anyway, I look forward to meeting as many of you TAs as humanly possible upon my return in Feb......

Best Southeast Region Party of 2004
Sander Kleinenberg @ The Mark, Atlanta, GA -- Almost a perfect night. Digital WitchCraft opening for Sander. Sander spinning one of the best sets I've ever heard. Ultra 2004- so many DJs, so many people, so many friends.
Best Southeast Region Club of 2004
The Mirage- Miami, FL-- 3 diffrent rooms, great sound, great lights, and one of the best clubbing nights I've experienced. Derrick Carter and a number of other great DJ's.

Top 3 Track of 2004

Infusion- Do to you (In '82)
Deepsky- Talk like a stranger (Nick Fanciulli Skylark Vocal Mix)
Best Breakthough Artist
James- Zabiela
One Person Who Changed the Way I Appreciate EDM
James Zabiela - One of the youngest DJs in the scene. At only 23 he's done so much that so many people could only dream about. One of the most humble, down to earth DJs I've met.
One Artist Who Has Let me Down in 2004
Paul van Dyk - He really hasn't done much at all this year. He played a short set in Atlanta about 1 hour 45 minutes. I only caught the last part of his set at Ultra. Nothing exciting from Paul this year. Hopefully he can make up for it in 05.

I stand corrected, either way he's the shit.
