I didn't think that Fleming would be able to top Orkidea. I was wrong. The Finn started off energetically, but 1/2 and hour into his set, got too light and melodic. The acid synthlines made for powerful dancing. The intense Goa tracks by Fleming pounded me into submission. Deko-ze was off, not the same impact he had after Tiesto, or at NYE. Things were on the mashy side at the rear bar, but tons of energy on the dancefloor, and the best laser system in Toronto.
Went to the Zone after wards. Three observations:
1. The place is a huge sausage fest. I thought I was at a circuit party.
2. They have no competition in Toronto. What kind of connections do you need to run an after-afterhours? There IS a marketplace for another sketchpad.
3. The place was packed -no room on the dancefloor. It was Guv-packed.
Met the following: Flec (lay off next time), Hardcore Trancer (straightedgers rule), TrancExstasy (Do you work out? LOL, Sober 24-7 (more straightedge making me feel about two inches tall), Mot10n (I'm gonna mount that rock and give it to my wife), Halo20. I didn't bother with the meetup; I just jabbered people's ears off if they came to rest near me
Never had so many people ask me for 'directions' in the club. Maybe it was the dayglo wallet chain.
yes sick sick sick
Orkidea killed as usual
very happy with his set. That guy knows what he's doing.
except im not too sure about what happened toward the end of his set, but he seemed to have lost it for a bit there.
Reading all those reviews kills me, since I didn't go.....but I had a dream all night that I was at a good party, so that kinda made up for it...BUt I still would have loved to be there....
uuuuuuuunngh my mothu fukin head hurts!!!!1 Can someone tell me whereI can buy some earplugs for the next event and how much they cost?? More reviews later when I can start being able to hear again. Neverthe less I had a blast

11:07pm: LKD's keychain is confiscated at door by security
11:08pm - 12:15am: partied with lots of drinks and TAs
12:16pm: ORKIDEA CAME ON.......
so orkidea who i didint know much about started goin wild throwing tunes like U2 - staring at the sun to which i started a clap (like during most of his set) with the rest of viva goin along.
i went wild when he dropped Emerge and Lonliness....omg..he was killin me (Endlesswave style)
kept shaking his hand during the set and once he got off, i told him that i was thee dude shaking his hand to which we had a little laugh about. I also got me in a pic with him and ummm..ya he rocked
2:30am: J00F came on
all i gotta say is....
NOBODY TOLD ME HE WOULD GO PSY...
LKD's quote the rest of the night "OMG HE WENT PSY"
i was dead then....he dropped alot of tracks i didnt know..for that matter..almost everything was unknown to me....
goin crazy to his start of psy i looked at my hand and found it shiny..looked under some light and i had a deep cut on 2 of my fingers. i guess it was from jumping up and down like an idiot next to the dj cage
15 minutes later i ended up throwing my bloody tissue at flemming..how rude of me but it was an accident i swear......
i cant imagine what he mightve thought.."hmm a tissue with blood..thrown hereon my decks..hmmmm"
unfortunately as long as i was there J00F didnt come out after his set so i couldnt meet him 
....probably the next time tho
Ninjapimp, Infinity_high and i left soon after, i got home at about 6:10, at some food and went to bed and got up about an hour or so ago

<--how LKD was when he hit the sack last night
Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from this party... Boy was I wrong!
Orkidea was absolutely amazing. J00F started a bit slow, but then picked up towards the end of his set - the last 45 minutes of his set were absolutely unreal. Deko-ze was allright, played some awesome tracks, though could be a bit better. Hartec came out last and banged it out - it was amazing!
Overall, musicwise probably not the best party I've ever been to. Partywise, however, it was the best party I've attended since Picotto @ System in October. The vibe created by TAs is so great! Thanks to everyone who made this night a memorable one for me - you know who you are!
So, I'm now all the way back in K-town having had zero sleep and no time to crash until tomorrow, but I just have to say...
Wow.
- Orkidea was... indescribable. I've heard many of his sets and tracks before but I never would have expected it to be that good up front. AWESOME.
- As stated by LKD, Flemming (that's two "m"s not one, right folks?) went PSY halfway through! w00t! Didn't think he'd be any competition for Orkidea but man, was I wrong. Two TOTALLY sick sets in a row!
- Deko-Ze impressed me with the second half of his set, too. Dunno if he was off for the first half, never seen him spin before then, but I enjoyed everything I can remember from about 5:30 onward, when I got my second wind.
- Unfortunately didn't get to stay for much of Hartec, since I caught the shuttle back home.
Oh, and it was great to meet SO many of you face to face all at once. My apologies to those who were exposed to my horrific in-club conversational/listening skills (including but not limited to Durafei, drewfactor, and another very cute TA who I kept randomly ending up beside but never actually discerned the name because I was trying not to drive her crazy by asking for 12 repetitions of every sentence. 
So if you're wondering why I stopped talking to you, it's 'cause I was deaf at the time. 
)
Anyway, once again, SUPER OUTSTANDING AWESOME party, has definitely inspired me to go to MORE parties, although perhaps I will bring earplugs next time I go to Viva. 
FYI- earplugs are available at coat check. I forgot mine & scored a pair there.
Still too killed to put the thoughts into words....
That was one serious party with amazing TA turnout!!!!!!
WELL DONE, EVERYONE!
Orkidea OWNS!!!!!! I recognized 2 tracks during his entire set, his mixing was flawless, & I think I may even have enjoyed him as much as (if not more than) Hardwick's set... That's saying a lot.
to be continued.....
...
The sets were amazing! ii agree, BUT the atmoshpere was so SHIT! i dont understand how u guys liked it...i mean it was fun and everything but there was at least 50% of the dance floor filled with 30 year old chinese women and some men just standing around..literally and looking around..i hated it..last party ive been too was misstress barbara and its incomparable to this.. u guys from trance addict were mostly in the front ..if the whole dance floor was filled with guys like u then it would be 100000 times more amazing..but unfortunately it wasnt..it was filled with chinese cocain addicts...
overall i give it..8/10 for music
6/10 for atmosphere

Review...
Its 2:54pm, and I got about 1 hour sleep so far! Yay!
My Review:
Got to Viva at about 10:20 or so anticipating another horror of a line-up, but I was wrong! Got into the club and theres like maybe 10 ppl, my first response "Yikes I hope it gets more busy than this" Which it did at around 12am before Orkidea went on.
Peter Ivals : Didnt like what he was spinning, but I guess he was spinning crap songs because the club was dead. He threw down a couple of hard tracks.
12am Orkidea : Man what a set lots of hard bangin tunes at the beginning then he went melodic which I loved!!! I will always be checking this guy out EVERYTIME he makes a visit to Toronto. Never Dissapointed.
JOOF! : This guy completely wore me out, but I couldnt stop moving to the best beats ive ever heard! Very Impressive set, alot better than his last couple of appearances @ WEMF.
De-koze : Man this guy has sooo much energy up on the decks, I love it when a DJ gets right into his music and set. The crowd went insane when he dropped Mauro Picotto - Baguette!!! I love the break in that song!!
Hartec : I was pretty much worn out by the time he came on, and pretty much just bobbed to the music as I sat down and rested! But he by far spun the hardest tracks of the night.
Shout-outs to all the TA's I met : Diginut, Durafei (Loves my sunglasses), tatgirl, halo20 (Heres a guy that can party hard!!), and of course I cant forget Time2Burn!!! Man so nice meeting you, it was pretty weird at first. and HighRoller all I gotta say is, I've never seen someone use glowsticks before like you do, amazing shit dude! If I forgot anyone else, sorry, but my brain is wacked!
Hope Everyone had as much fun as I did!!
Nytehawk
Great night. I met a few TAs but from the turn out.. there was no way I could meet all of you. Shouts to highroller, diginut, elmo, nytehawk and durafei. And if you didnt catch me.. I was the guy who took the big group picture.
dRale- If you thought the atmosphere last nite was 'crap', you probably would HATE it even more on any other given nite there. The crowd is usually 80%+ filled with people like that- last nite's party was geared towards a different clientelle & brought out a much better crowd than normal.
Personally, I thought the vibe last nite was off the hook!!! I honestly wasn't expecting this party to go off as well as it did- it was empty when we got in. When Ivals dropped "Dark Beat", I got some people to move out onto the dance floor, and soon enuf, people followed. I'm always happy to attend parties at Viva when the TA's are out in numbers, but I amazed myself even when people were asking me what I had taken, when I was still totally sober, cuz I had such a huge smile on my face. It was so good to see the huge amount of TA representation, and so many 1st-timers there, that I hope come back to party with us again there.

My Review:
OMG I DIE!!!!
thats all i can say about the night.
I was standing in the parking lot with Nathalie, Ken and a few others when i heard Funkatron - Robbie Rivera. I RAAAAN in cause i love that song! The party got started for me right away with that song. Ivals played his usual set and i was mentioning to other people, he plays alot of the same songs! but they're good songs!
Orkidea came on and he was ok, a bit too uplifting for me, but thats just my opinion.
J00F came on and the beginning of his set was pretty boring to me so I got in the VIP lounge and chilled with RJ, Jenna, and her b/f (whats your name dude?) which was pretty cool. i was just chillin in the VIP lounge until i heard some GOA at which point I ran out into the crowd and went craaaaaaazy (this was after drinking quite a few red bulls ). The beginning of J00F's set I didn't really like that much, but the end of it sure made up for it.
Then the MAN came on: DEKO-ZEE! This guy never ceases to amaze me. He went from techno, to hard house, to uplifting trance, to hard german techno back to hard house! this guy was INSANE. He at one point played For An Angel - PVD (with some other song playing in the background) and this one girl who was a TA (can't remember her name) went CRAAAAAAAAAAZY! I was laughing hahah. Deko-zee has so much energy on the decks I always go crazy when I see him. When he played Baguette I almost died, I've never had such an adrenalaine rush in my life!
Harctec came on and didn't give me any break from Deko-zee with his hard tracks, it made my night complete. I've never been able to party till the end of the night but last night was an exception! I was still goin crazy till the VERY last track when they turned the lights on, and there may have been 100 people in the club left.
I got to meet Deko-zee and talk to him during Hartec's set which was pretty damn cool. This guy is GREAT and I will be seeing him many more times.
TAs I met: RJ, Ken, Mirza, Nytehawk, Elmo, JennaRae (with b/f), Ambiguous Bliss, Harcore Trancer, Trace Ecstacy, Chris, Desidel, LKD, Az, Swamper, Nat, Allan, Diginut, Mosaic, Halo20, the 2 girls who traveled from NY (can't remember your names), and Durafei!
I think i may be forgetting a few, but there were SO many, and I still havent met a few of you!
BEST PARTY OF MY LIFE!!!!
I'm glad all you guys had fun, I was chillin' with the family and couldn't make it . I knew for sure 'OO' would knock Orikdea out of the waters. 'OO' is like PvD ... both spin the smoothest trance !!!
