Review: Contact @ The Guvernment (03/21/09)
Markus was fucking SWEEEEEEEEETT. Gallery and Acid were also incredible. Too bad Kool Haus was a write off!
Nice running into the usual TAs. I wish I could've ran into more but I enjoyed the main room from D'Luxe Lounge for most of the night.
Time for CZ
I had a great time...
Armin was OK...could've been better. I saw about an hour and a half of Markus Schulz and he was fucking awesome!!! Emery was really good as well and so was Menno (even though I only stayed for an hour of his set).
Overall 8/10
PS: Sentinal, Invasionmix, FunkyCrew, The Ear, Annas Attia, Frances, Extasie, Smuncky... It was really nice meeting u guys 
Sorry I couldn't spend more time with you guys. I met so many friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in years, that I kept getting dragged back and forth between guv and koolhaus lol
PPS: I apologize in advance if I forgot anyone.
Markus was good for the 30 min or so I was in the mainroom.
KH was way too packed. I caught the end of Armin's set, he played a bunch of old tunes that I've heard 100s of times, and wasn't too impressed. I didn't like the beginning of Menno's set, so I went to the
Gallery which was(simply put, in internet terms) full of epic mothafuckin win. I danced my ass off for 2 hours straight.
Greg Gow gets a big 10/10
thanks for killing me Jay
Woo
Good times
Chris, awesome running into you for a sec there, ha
Robbie, love the pics bro. I ended up going backstage for the end of the set. Did you get some vids too?
Great night. Excellent tunage from all DJ's. Found myself thoroughly enjoying the first couple hours of Armin, & greatly enjoyed Markus as well.
Menno closed my evening with some excellent tunes but a couple of mistakes were evident.
Loved how I heard 5 Fery tracks through the night too. Gotta love hearning Brain BoX & Gouryella - Gouryella in the same night & in their original format & fully played.
Solid times as always with the good folk of TOTA & my excellent friends. Good meetin ya too T_Ali.
Lookin forward to the next time! We need a few more full trance events. They really are my favourite nights simply b/c the crowd is a hell of a lot easier to deal with when people are actually smiling.
Jesse Rose and Greg Gow were amazing in Gallery.
That was such a good party.
apology accepted t_ali
very impressed with the kool haus festivities. warmed up with dekay and moved on to kool haus for gareth and he was really pushing the room and we got stuck in with armin for a great first half set. markus had some great stuff but the main room was a little too packed and the energy just wasn't on the same level as kh.
menno was lots of fun dropping tons of big tunes.. gouryella was a definite highlight.
fantastic trance show. cheers to all the ta's i bumped into along the way.
Rex Mundi ft. Susan - Nothing At All
and
Rex Mundi vs Ronski Speed - The Perspective Space (Markus Schulz mashup)

Made a special appearance for this one. My friend from SF came all the way here for this gig and it is her first time in Toronto. She enjoyed it very much.
Mr. Emery was pretty good had his good and is not so good, but overall I enjoyed his stuff, great work in getting the crowd pumped.
Armin - What can I say, you are really packin the rooms these days and last night was so no exception. I kinda had the feeling people on here weren't gonna be into this set based on the fact there were a lot of breakdowns, jesus poses and uplifting. But he played a few tracks that made my night:
- Nitrous Oxide: Show me
- Nitrous Oxide: Magenta
- 3rd moon: Monsun (tune of the night for me)
- System F: Exhale
- Vast Vision - Everything(Aly & Fila remix)
- Thomas Bronzwaer - Certitude
just to name a few hehe.
Overall I really enjoyed his set, sound was a little too bassy at times especially during the vast vision track. Very uplifting, maybe the most uplifting he has played here in some time.
Had enough time to trail in to catch Markus close his set, the sound was tons better in main room, and he really had it goin off in there, gotta give it to the guy.
Left at 5, was DONE! crowd in KH was completely the worst ever, but I didn't let it ruin the night, it is to be expected. Saw TA's, but didn't get a chance to say hi. Ran into Nada, great to see you again!
Fun night for me either way.
I brought my sister (first timer) out and we had a pretty solid time. I will say, I'm not a big armin fan - haven't ever enjoyed a set of his - but overall the night was great in KH because of the vibe. Lots of good people in the area we were in. I wished so badly that Menno came on an hour earlier - his tunes were solid, banging trance which was hitting the spot just perfectly. I haven't been to a trance event in probably a year, so it was nice to reconnect. That being the case, due to the ridiculously expensive nature of the Guv complex, I won't be going to another any time soon - Footwork for me.
BTW, based on these reviews Im really bummed I didn't check out Shulz! I knew I would have loved it, but it just wasn't in the cards.

I tried coming at 1:15 with no tickets and tried to charm my way in at the front. failed. so i went home.
How was Dekay?
Markus was Epic in the main room, stayed in the main room most of the night since KH was too packed, but around 4 or so went to KH and spent rest of the night there, caught the tailend of AVB's set, and it was good to hear some classic and uplifting tunes after Markus' rocking set in the mainroom.
just wish AVB played longer/later cause i think his stuff is good to kind of wind down?
All in, one of the best nites i've had at guv in many years for me.

lol i thought theyd sell tickets at the front. they wouldnt, the only line i could go in was to the main room and the motherufcker stretched passed the drink entrance.
i tried getting in through the drink and the bouncer was gonna let me through then for some reason the cops told me to leave that nobody was allowed in the drink tonight.
iwas like ok whatever. and just went home.
Who here is still wearing sunglasses?
Does anyone have a track listing of the first few tracks Menno played? There was this one track, with a robotic sounding female vocal - not many lyrics, just something like "beleive" as the main word. Man I was digging it. I've heard it before, but I just can't place it for the life of me - maybe 3rd or 4th song he played.
Best night i have ever had at the Guv.. period Markus and Menno stole the night for me personally Great seeing the few TA's i have met before and a few new ones as well.. I wanna relive this night over and over again Anyone stick around for Jerome ? The man was on fire for his last hour
