Christopher Lawrence @ Tampa - Green Iguana (Anderson) 7-18-08
Sweet..
Wow.. Nice to see CL come back to FL.. Green Iguana is on fire with the bookings..
FUCK YEA!
Interesting booking. Green Iquana is definitely bringin it. I like how CL plays when he bangs out the hard shit, which he did a few years back when closing 4 Corsten @ Space
interesting though, a lot of people ripped on GI for bringing in Corsten and Benassi who were just here, but CL was here AFTER they were and no one complaining.
Interesting how that works. I have never seen CL, might have to try this one.
hey this is this week who all is going out there??

CL is probably the only trance DJ I'd ever see.
I'll be there!
i want to go but the f'ing redbull flugtag is saturday morning and doing both will be tough
I've see Lawrence play at least 10 different times over the years from Texas to Florida to Cali and must say that he has never disappointed me. His style of trance is still sick even though trance isn't as big these days. This is a must see if you haven't heard him live. I'm curious to see the turnout.

tonights the night i should be there around 11 see ya there if your going!!
I didn't make it to this...anyone go? How was it?
this was pretty sad.
i really didnt like the openers, everyone stood around staring at an empty dance floor, the few midgets that were dancing seemed to be forcing themselves to move to a crappy beat. all of a sudden, the music became energetic and danceable because it was when christopher lawrence came on and the floor quickly filled in. he was really rocking it pretty good in the beginning, and i even got up on a podium and grinded to some booty shaking girls. but here's the problem: the guy never really put any variety into his set. it just kept going and going and going like 1 continuous song. ALMOST NO VOCALS.
this is where it got sad, over a 1 hour 45min set, the dancefloor slowly and gradually thinned out. i could see people getting really tired of the sound not changing, people just standing around bobbing their heads. he didnt even play till close, one of the openers took over. the last half hour of his set there was almost nobody left, like only 20 people - just the diehards.
the guy mixes flawlessly - you cant tell where the transitions are - he's THAT good. i can see why he gets so much respect from bedroom/internet djs. but, and i keep preaching this, this is not what dj'ing is all about. djing is about variety and changing things up if something's not working. if you see your floor thinning out you should adjust. i invited him to my house for an afters but he said he had been up for the past 30 hours (and he def looked it), so i give him the benefit of the doubt.
what's sad is when i was watching the place almost empty, the bartenders and servers were cleaning up, and theres a famous dj bangin away music that is meant for a massive crowd to a handful of diehards that were not really dancing, it was just a sad scene, made me think about how things were in the old days and how they are now. where its at now is top names playing in a cheesy college/frat type bar in the suburbs next to an AMC movie theatre.
Simple: Christopher Lawrence = Trance DJ
He does not take requests, nor does he "change things up" What was he supposed to start playing?
His style of trance should have been GOA-Psy, not epic/commercial-vocal. You would have known this if you simply checked one of his sites.
Also if he was tired, then he most definitely was playing tracks at too fast a BPM, in his mind this would've sped the process up.
Sounds to me like he just wanted to get the gig over with. Too bad.

teh flugtag was the next day...
it was a no brainer which to choose.. actually i mulled it over quite a bit, but an event which would be similar to gasparilla teh following day... CL just cant compete with that..
at least in my book..
The opening Dj's were absolutely terrible but Christopher Lawrence threw down. I've seen him probably 6 times and he never disappoints.
BTW...it is Tampa, so don't expect him to pull out his best tunes.
