review: Labour of Love 2008
so...lets hear your stories?
i arrived around 11. The line moved fairly quickly considering the amount of people out side. "Grinder to the crotch chick" out front was cool.
moved as fast as possible through kool haus to Guv for Mark Knights set. He was playing some nice tunes, but found his set to be up and down vibe/intensity wise.
We left at 1am to head over to the tent for Vandalism. Holy fuck what a mess trying to get through orange room to kool haus (the route to the tent) again, considering the amount of people going the same way, it was pretty quick. Vandailism were pretty good, but the last 2o mins of their set when Cassie the singer came on, it got really quiet and never got louder...even for when mstrkrft came on. Maybe cause it was outside and to prevent noise violations?
fak...geting tired and need to sleep..
in the tent. drank expresso...YES!! they had a fucking expresso machine! how wicked was that?
went to guv at 3 for ingrosso & angello...benny was still on and played till 3:45. he suprisingly had me going good. real good. can anyone i.d that rock track he played around 3:30?
ingrosso and angello were solid.
I'm getting super lazy...tired.
yes. horrible review, I know.
I'm gonna go have a glass of vodka and give myself a hand job before i goto bed.
edit: set/music of the night for me. a toss up between the first portion of mstrkrft and the last portion of benny benassi.
moment of the night for me....waiting for 2 mins for the saxaphone intro on "man with the red face - mark knight mix" part way through angello & ingrosso's set. saxaphone dissapears and that wickedly cool melody plays on...and on...and on....
i got inside around 12:10ish and the place had been pretty full already at that point.
straight to guv for mr knight which was alright, but i kind of expected better.
i spent the majority of the night guv patio and guv. checked out a good portion of Jelo's set which i really enjoyed a lot. Some sexy ass women all over too loved the eye candy.
angello and ingrosso were really awesome they are the reason why went.
loved how they were pumping everyone up with the airhorn and the train horn. left around 5.
I thought Mark Knight played some awesome tunes that I really wanted to hear at the guv. When I heard Columbian Soul coming in I was ready to go home cuz I'd have paid $60 to hear that alone. But yeah he was a little up and down in his set and I wondered if he was a bit thrown by the weird timeslot. He was definitely pounding it out when i arrived but then played some groovin tracks then back to pounding it. I didn't mind though cuz he certainly knows how to work that guv system and it was sounding warm and fuzzy last night. The guv sound is really unique from what I can tell. Its a treat to still have a place where you can hear music played the way it was made to sound.
What was that last track Mark KNight played before handing things over to Benassi. Really hard thundering track. Must have it!
WAS THAT WORTH I THO? I really wanted to see Alan Braxe
OMG what a night! Meeting ppl and videoing everything in site. Got to go to sleep now and when I wake up I'll see how the vids turned out. It will take a while to edited for sure so you guys have to be patient.
Quick highlights from my perspective...
- Got there about 10-ish?
- met a bunch of "Trance Addicts" who were such good ppl... of course you already know that.
- met Benny Benassi and chat with him for a few minutes, gave him some of my cards after he watched some of the stuff I recorded.
- Met Joee Cons and we exchanged cards (they opened Gallery for that night). He wants to see what I recorded of him before he gives blessings to use footage. 8P
- Quickly met Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso and gave them my cards too.
- Met strangers who were freaking out over my laser.
- Also met a bunch of saucy gals... you know who you are. ;)
- Left about 7:15 and videoed walking from Drink to outside heading towards the car.
Hey all the event was wicked i stayed in the koolhaus for the entire night,, Armin OMG
^^ he really did kill it,,,and thats what i came to see worth the 40 bucks I paid for ticketmaster
I saw 70 bucks @ the door 
Hope everyone else had a GooD time,,

So sad i missed it glad to hear you guys had a good time 
Heard alot of Mark Knight and Benassi's sets, they were both pretty good.
Caught a bit of Armin, but I thought he was disappointing... his mixing was sloppy (i.e. not just beatmatching, but phrasing was off for a few transitions!). Funny to hear him playing Deadmau5 - Not Exactly pitched up like +7 or so though.

Fuckin' bonkers!!! My body is absolutely destroyed after 6 hours of dancing. I can honestly say it felt like trance was alive more than ever after listening to Armin. Mixing was a little doggy every now and then but he had me up until 8am. My legs were ceasing up and I couldn't dance any longer. Overall, trance was most definately in my pants last night.
Nice to meet you FunkyCrew and the many others.
11/10.
Cheers!

Go in at 11:30 and its dead. Girls look beat up and ugly. Make up by the mountains slapped on their face, and push up bras tryoing to hide the fact they got swings for tits. assess dragging on the floor.
I say fuck it if im here im at least gonna gt trashed. so i drink my face off. only one decent girl but her nipplescould be used as a pointing stick. I'd hit it still i says to myself as a i pound back a jager.
Fuck this place blows. So i call a cab and go to apache burgers by myself, eat and then go home to sleep at 1:20am
twas quite the night.

armin was pretty bland. the party is no longer the same for me. i just got really bored really fast so i left.
Mark Oliver + Skybar -Tom top 40 Novy + The Drink + Acid lounge...11/10
Angelo/Ingrasso 9/10
Armin and his appetite for destruction Priceless

Had an awesome time. Nice to see everyone again! Fantastic music, great vibe from everyone around the room.
Surprised that it stayed busy for so long (at 5 there was still barely any room on the floor in the KH)...
Now, the reason for post... Can anyone ID this? What is this remix and how do i get my hands on it?

My god This was the worst one ever...
But strictly on me...
I had been up since 7am thanks to my 1 yr old nephew and then spent the day at the CNE...
I got to Guv early and was already exausted so the night was doomed from the get go...
Only saw a few TA's...was really hoping to spend some more time...
Nitro stopped working at 4 so I had to spend an hour on repairs...
I was stressed and tired and it ruined a great party for me...
Man it looked like fun though...
Next time....I REST THE DAY OF!!!
Glad everone else had a good time though....
And Vivid......
I'm so going for some Apache this week...best burgers in town....
