I would like to start my review with:
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!
At the beginning, as we were walking towards the door I couldn't help but say "Oh fuck... look at all the Trance Addicts". I'll curb my previous views now, because you guys helped maintain an amazing vibe.
As for the boys from Deustchland:
Dumonde rocked like no before. I haven't danced (or sweated) like that since... fuck! my early days of raving 7years ago. Ever since I first heard Never Look Back and I think Tomorrow, I've known that Dumonde was nothing but good shit and was something that was going to continue impressing me with their sound. So of course, the next thing to buying every track they release, was seeing them play out. TWO FRICKIN YEARS of waiting paid off very handsomely. I saw Hennes & Cold about a year ago... they were another act that i wanted to see... they were impressive, but nothing like this. Once again. HOLY SHIT!
BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM-->breakdown-->vocal-->break-->BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM-->BOOM
Hands up! (waving side to side)
Hands up! rock out with your cock out!
Hands up! air-synth stabbin!
The beats were steady and strong. the beginning they played a lot of stuff that was similar to their work, but at one point DeLeon got on the mic and said "For now on, we're playing on DuMonde tracks"
and they did. They played ...and then they started to dance, Tomorrow, Trauma (non-vocal tho ), Never Look Back, Can you dig it, Binary Finary, God Music... and HUMAN!
All the amazing shit.
The only way it could've been better is if i had brought one of my records to get signed.
Is it just me, or did they NOT play "mind made up" ??
A few weeks ago, there was a party in which someone reviewed after wards and said "that wasn't a party, that was a rave". Well... This wasn't a party, This wasn't a rave, this wasn't some club night. It was all of the above, and then some. Everyone was bouncing... it was amazing. If they weren't, they were seconds earlier, or a synth breakdown was being played. Truly awesome.
And of course my shouts and greetz:
Avro + Jessica, his buddy John, Dennis, Charmsgrl(?), Chiclet and her friend, and ummm i dunno who else. Oh yeah, the hottie in the red shirt (jacket around waist) that was in front of me a lot.
To the DJ before DuMonde - Nice selection. I truely enjoyed the tracks you played. In particular - Cowgirl2003. very nice.
To the Temporaral Rhythm Crew. Thanks guys. You restored my faith in trance parties and in Viva.
I haven't been to Viva since the dreaded Ascension of Doom, which is sad because I live in markham (10min away), and so i've steered clear of Viva. Now that Viva cleaned itself up, it's a fucking amazing venue.
Good Job Viva crew.
