[Review] M.I.K.E. @ LOVE 12.15.07

I'm glad I skipped out on CG yesterday to hear him play again, no matter what style or genre the man is at the moment he sure does manage to turn it out and then some... Great party by the Core guys even for this shitty weather still was a great turn out . Caught a little bit of Marcello's and Mark Ian's set and wow was it just banger after banger, like always good seeing the regular's out in full force and look forward to hopefully seeing you guys at my bday on the 29th for KvA and Ronski!

I as well had an awesome time. MIKE had a great tracklist. All I can remember is Strange World, Sunrise at Los Palomos, and Someone.
The sound system was EXCELLENT! One of the best I've ever heard. The staff was very friendly too. Great time, great price. I wonder why there weren't that many people there. Maybe the weather?

Hands down not only one of the best M.I.K.E. sets I've ever heard (out of the dozens I have downloaded, heard live), but took Preach's spot as top 3 set of the year... He was THAT good... and a true DJ's DJ... one of the few guys not playing a "what's what" in trance playlists that can all be ID'd... He mixed classics with new upfront stuff, and I have no complains about the set... I'm glad that I caught the fact that he turned the high frequencies down all the way at one point by mistake (leaning on part of the mixer with his midi controller), told Zack to tell the sound guy and sure enough I was right haha!! M.I.K.E. was amazing, and one of the nicest guys in the business, time and time again.. I know he had a BLAST, loved every minute of playing at LOVE, loved the grittiness and underground vibe to it... LEGEND!

i def agree about the underground vibe being present last night, MIKE def rocked it out, from what I could tell everyone was dancing nonstop and having a GREAT time. Loved the classics, that was the icing on the cake Def a good mix of people out there to support, good work CORE in getting the word out!!! Great job with the tunes in the CAVE, was DEF feeling it.

Glad we decided to stop by and good seeing everyone

not bad

my review
got in at around 11:30 it was kinda dead and i was sayin "oh boy here we go another shitty turn out for a great dj"
the crowd picked up a lil but not to where it should have been but the crowd that was there was deff a music orriented crowd they knew who the dj was
i gotta give props to all the other djs not just mike
frequency frank i think it was who was opening up in the side room
wow such great techy/minimal/progy stuff i was deff grooving
i went in and heard zack playin some real deal hard stuff i was like dammm lol
mike came threw at like 12:30 i was talkin to him for a bit about stuff, all i can say is that 2008 is gonna be a big year for him
anyway madd cool guy i got to meet his wife who is madd cool also shes from queens i was like dam its a small world iam from brooklyn ha ha
anyway mike came on and just murdered it he played alot more trance stuff that i was expecting usually he shys away but he was throwing down some good stuff, but the dark ass proggy mixed with tech
wow and he dropped the new plastic boy track shit was tight
then closed out with strange world and sunrise at palamos i think i might have shed a tear (yea i know iam so emo lol) but yo those tracks have sooo much emotion to them
then eco came on and was spinning some hard stuff good to see you showing your full capabilitys not just a opener

I think I had a small orgasm to those songs

Question: What was the very first song MIKE played? That song was awesome.

Got in at around 12:45, just in time to catch Tae Seol close out with one of my favorite records, Hydroponic (Thanks Tae!)...I intended to see M.I.K.E., but I couldn't pull myself away from Keryn and Frank's sets.
I finally made it to the main room around 3:30 to catch the beginning of Eco's set -- he played a really epic opener, which, I would later learn, is his new remix of Horizon. The night closed with Gabriel Torres, who was an unexpected surprise. I had never heard Gabriel mix before, but I
absolutely loved the progressive (occasionally vocal) house he was playing through Ableton Live...

Thanks to the whole Core Events Crew for another great night out....

Because deko has a walk-up crowd? People go to deko, regardless of who the DJ is.

maybe not for a saturday nite but you never know with a Wensday Nite


you really need to drop the Deko Residency from your profile

BinoY would not approve

exactly people go to deko regardless of the dj
but what iam saying is that i dont mean to abuse that crowd
but how many of them do you actually think know who mike is?

i bet alot of people would be into it but i bet alot people would be turned off cause they are lookin for the nyc house/tribal sound

if it happened it happens i would be there but i doubt it

i wouldn't go that far. I've been going to Deko since day 1 and i know the crowd, they aren't afraid to change things up. When Deko brought in Sandy Rivera, it was quite a turnout. I'll tell you this much, i've seen Deko do better with just Richie Santana all nite then wit DT doing a guest spot

Deko saturdays have always been a music drivin party so to say people go regardless of who the DJ is def a lie.

Now wensday nites are a diff story. I'm good friends with the resident DJ who does wensday nites and we always said it would be great for Deko to bring a guest DJ for a once a month. Maybe i should have been more specific when i said I would like to see M.I.K.E bookd at Deko...but on a wensday

^^^
it gets busy on weds nights?
cause i know its a school/work night for most people
deko closes at 2 anyway so i would still come threw
so if you can make it happen then make it happen

Had a blast Mike, Zack, Eco and Mark threw down awesome sets. Heard a lot of old school tracks that made me go nutssssss! ... Nice meeting AY STAR, Frequency Mike...

good stomping with ya Jay

hell when LEF came on that was it hearing that and strange world made my night got in around 1ish wasn t that many ppl prob due to the weather but those that made it out def made up for the lack of ppl there, couldn t decide where i was gonna stand, by the cave or in the main room either way great beats all around was really feling gabes set. there were a few hecklers in the crowd callin him paul van torres and making requests for for an angel (which we didn t get btw) but all in all trekking out in that weather to support locals made it all worth while see u kids soon

sux badly that I missed out on this--esp on the Awesome sound system at love. I was hoping this party would suck but it seems obvious it rocked from what everyone wrote. so far I've missed out on m.i.k.e. and also dogzilla the previous weekend..I've been unable to drag myself away from my new blu ray..

Wish I could have made it but I was stuck in Whitestone with no ride.
