It's 4:30 and I just got home...had to leave early due to a personal obligation later on today
Cor is still on the decks as we speak tearing and ripping the place apart

I think there is only one thing that can perfectly describe how I felt about Cor's performance tonight...







For those that weren't there all I can say is that it's a BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG loss on your side.

I would have to say though that the crowd was quite disapoining...the usual sketchy Viva oriental crowd was present but the club was probabbly only half full, and most of these people were in a world of their own or just standing in one spot...bizzzzare...
Not to worry however, TOTA represented us proper!
Meeting Cor before the set was definitely a huge highlight, what a great guy
Have some pics to show but I ran out of webspace so if anyone wants ho host them for a but let me know and we'll work it out later today
Must have nap now after 2 insane nights of BlackHole!

Shout outs to all the mad TAs I met today

Cor was fucking amazing!!! Track after track of insane hard trance and I was in heaven. Banging tunes being pumped out of Viva's awesome sound system along with plenty of room to bust a move, couldn't have asked for a better night. The TAs as usual kept the party alive. Big shout-out to all of ya!!

SHUT UP AND DANCE !!

Woah... uber tunes...

Now I'm not trying to start a war here - so read what I write CAREFULLY!

Personally I enjoyed Friday night (Cor Fijneman) more than Thursday night (Tiesto). Reason #1: More room to dance. Reason #2: Temperature was kept under 30 deg C. Reason #3 (and the most important one): Cor's programming/set list was more in line with my own trance preference (melodic, uplifting).

I'll write more later when I recover from the 36-hour birthday bash.

Cor was much better than Tiesto IMO.

Again, im not a huge trance fan (but i can appreciate the good stuff) but Cor had much more happening with his music than Tiesto ever did (at a fraction of the price) He seemed like a nice guy too!

man, I'm still exhausted.

another massive night at Viva!

will do full review when I return to C-town.

or I'll just do it now!!!

First, shouts to everyone I saw... you guys know who you are! And if you don't, well, I was wearing a blue dress shirt (w/palm trees on it) and khakis. You might have noticed me dancing my ass off, because Cor kicked ass!

Rosati did a good job of warming the crowd up, which took a little longer than usual... but one thing I learned tonite is that when the TA massive hits the floor, the rest of the crowd follows. TA kept that party alive all night. The crowd was definitely an odd one... strangest crowd I've seen at Viva. There seemed to be an abundance of standing around. And older people. Nothing makes me madder than a whole group of 40+ age group Asians standing around at the front, take up a ton of space. I think I've grown out of the Viva crowd... it's just way to sketchy and sometimes unfriendly. There was lots of room to move around tho, and that was nice.

I was so happy to hear the new smoking bylaw was in effect at Viva. It was soooo much nicer in there than in the past - much cooler too.

Oh, and the bathroom guy... AWESOME... gave him a $5 tip.

Cor kicked some ass with straight up banging hard trance. I only recognized a handful of tunes, but I wasn't interested in IDing everything last night. Hard, driving, epic... great set. A couple of hiccups (did the needle break at that one spot?) but overall very enjoyable.

CROWD: 4/10
COR: 8.5/10
ROSATI: 8/10
VENUE: 10/10 (and always will be)


Track ids:
Endre - Kallocain (Robert Nickson Remix)
Above & Beyond - No One On Earth (Gabriel & Dresden remix)
Ton TB - Dreammachine (??? remix)
Katana - In Silence (Txitarro remix)

OMG, speaking of In Silence, WHY OH WHY DID HE HAVE TO MIX DURING THE BUILDUP! IT WAS DECENT, BUT TOOK A LOT AWAY FROM THIS TRACK!!!

Underworld - Kittens (??? remix)
G&M Project - Sunday Afternoon (???)
Filo & Peri - I:95

and I forgot everything else.




CAN'T WAIT FOR PICS/VIDS!

Just opened my eyes...still dead but can't seem to sleep anymore...here are some of the tracks Cor played last night...

Tiesto - Love comes again (Mark Norman Remix)
Tiesto - Adagio for strings
A&B - No One on earth (G&D remix)
Katana - In silence
Cor Fijneman - Venus (Tiesto remix)
Ton TB - Electronic malefunction (Cor Fijneman remix)

That new 4 strings production from PVDs set that I still don't know the name of
The orange theme
His own track that I don't know the name of but was very melodic and vocal - beautiful
I know there were more I can remember so as soon as I do I'll post them!

WOW, that's all I can say.

Shoutouts to the TA's the showed up at Coffee Time! (Matt + the rest, I'm horrible with names)

As Matt said before I think the TA's were the ONLY ones dancing. I looked around at 3:30am when Cor dropped Tiesto's Adagio For Strings and more than half the club was STANDING around! What hell was with that? I don't mean to be racist at all, but the sketchy asian crowd really kills the vibe.

Aside from the crowd, Cor had a great track selection, and I'm glad I went. Plenty of room to dance and music I love

At Dumonde last year the crowd was 100x better, but I enjoyed both.

Looking forward to NU-NRG coming up July 2nd!

EDIT: DJ Ski(sp?) wanted a link for something, PM me and I'll send it.
