The parties where it all comes together like it should...

Just came back from a sick day p[arty and felt like writing about it... it was just one of those parties where music, friends, drinks, and fun all seemed to just come together...

Anyways, my boy messaged me at 2, for his bday party, headed to hishous by 430 that afternoon and walk into the party meet a thousand people I know and am asked to put on my music.. So already im happy, we listen to a chilled deep house mix of mine for a hour or 2, just drinking, chilling hanging out, then my boy somes on and plays some wicked psy into the night, sun coming down, music getting harder, more people comeing, all outdoors, all lit with nice pleasant garden lights, probably waking up with whole neighborhood with the crazy tunes he was playing, just got home...

It all was jus good. A good house party with great music, good people, and good drinks. Will write about some more perfect scenes later, but want to hear some of your stories. Write about those parties that just went, that just came together and flowed so well.

Never knew you're gay.

Best party ever for me has to be Calheta Beach Party 2005. First outdoor EDM party at my hometown (not sure if it's correct to call it a "town" but moving on), but I did not expect much from the DJs - typical lineup with 3 local djs and an american guy fairly unknown to me. Was just expecting to dance my ass off to standart iberian tribal house with some friends.

Anyway, I'm with two guys moving down the road to the beach, and while still far away start listening to Spektrum - Kinda New (Tiefschwarz Remix) played really fucking loud. Woah, were we actually get to listen to good music? Then we get to see the people out there and it's completely fucking massive. People were arriving from the entire island and having to park further and further away from the place.

The "electro-house" bandwagon was just starting, I already liked that sound (still do), but had no clue our djs were actually getting into it. They played 3 awesome sets of the stuff, everything at the right time, from the warmup to Michael C's destructive peak-time performance. Everyone was having a great time, all our friends were there dancing in the sand and chilling next to the "outdoor improvised bars" (i'm sure there's an actual word for this in english). I think I was sober since I was taking some medicine for my throat but it didn't matter.

To finish, the american dj Joeski came in and played a really nice acid house set. Unfortunately, it didn't enthusiasm the crowd as much, it was some slightly slower stuff but still great music. By mid-set it was time to go back home as everyone was too tired. It wasn't a perfect night but a really, really good one. Just missed the booze and managing to pick up a chick for a change

This years party wasn't as good, still decent tho. And there, you just finished reading a completely shit story.

Best event for its music: Woody McBride
Best event for the vibe: Green Velvet
Best event because of friends: Angel Alanis

I remember Alanis dropping Derrick Carters "Where U at?" It was perfect. One of my fave tracks off all time and after dancing hours I was revived to dance hours more. Some of the friends who came had never been to the venue and never dabbled in EDM. They had a blast which made me all the more happy. You could find us center stage, middle, dancing all night.

Woody McBride was the first dj whom I'd seen live and was stopped in my tracks. I remember he hit the decks at around midnight (being in the Midwest, most of the crowd had dispersed ) anyway, he's in the dj booth which stood higher than the dance floor. Imagine about 15 people total on the dancefloor and everyone just stopping, looking into the booth as if he was God. He's what started this love of EDM. I've never heard anything more deep, dark, full. I even went as far as emailing the venue, as I couldn't remember his name and wanted a recording of the night. All I got was the name, which leads me here...

Green Velvet spun in a theatre here that's used for mainly plays and opera. It has 2 balconies and the inside is reminiscent of Greek architecture, columns in the middle of the floors, etc. The ceiling is filled with stars. I recently saw Sigur Ros there, so you know the venue is georgous, ethereal. So my friend and I have a little smoke before coming in (the vibe haha) and find the place packed to occupancy. I don't know if for Velvet or Dj Rap (who spun shitty breaks) I just remember the crowd moving all as one, everyone sweaty, bodies on bodies.. an orgy! in Greece. And then the black man with the foot tall, green mohawk who tore everyone up and danced just as hard as anyone in the crowd in the process.
