Just got back. All I have to say was this show was absolutely amazing. Even with all the hype leading up to it, he still some how managed to absolutely stun me. Adam beyer is a fucking genius behind a set of turntables. Loved his set, everything from nice groovy minimal to pounding hard techno. I'm not sure what everyone else is thinking, but i definatly think that was easily a candidate for set of the year. But thats just my opinion :P Opera house is a pretty sick venue for techno too, it definatly worked well. Nice to meet Jem-heder too, good old georgian bay lads haha. Anyways, this might not be a very good review but im tired and heading to bed. Hope everyone had a good night!!! and definatly make sure to bring beyer back, (With bart skils maybe :P)

Venue - Very cool, they should more parties there
Crowd - Wasn't really into the crowd at the beginning - too many drunk girls who don't realize there are other people trying to enjoy themselves.
Music - it was good, not great. Beyer was a bit too up and down for me.

Party - I had a good time because of all my friends, but this party was not even close to last years at 99 Sudbury

Afterparty - interesting group of people it attracted, dj and music was not very good, lots of technical difficulties,...Beyer hadn't shown up by 8AM when I left

Amazing venue for this type of party, nice staff, good crowd.

Beyer was very decent though not outstanding. Didn't play alot of minimal per se, but played more mid-level stuff than banging tunes. When he did play the more pumping stuff the crowd was loving it.

Pleasure speaking to all the TA's I ran into during the night.

8/10 overall.

I missed this one... just too tired and rain didn't help. So where was the afterparty?

This was mine first time at opera house and i have to say i like the venue it prettyt nice. This was also my first time seeing beyer he was good, played a banging set i would have preferd more minimal, but that's just me. Good to see everyone <3!

Overall I was disapointed of my night, had high expectations.

Got there at 1am, apparently i was the last person that bought tickets to arrive lol. Beyer had just started 10 mins before we got there.

The venue looks really cool for techno parties, except:
- shut the lighting off that lights up the bars, the place was way too bright. The lights from the stage were ok
- Crank up the sound. Like seriously, I could listen into conversations next to me. Didnt need earplugs at all.

Beyer was good, had some good moments. However he had quite a few buildups that led to nowhere. IMO, his set was a warmup set!

The guy that came after, X-Stream I believe, bored me in the first 20-30 mins of his set, and then started dropping some hard techno, which I really loved. Even then, his transitions were sloppy.

I was tempted to go to the afterparty, but the lady was tired...

Overall 6.5/10 :|

it was banging. it was good.
some folks in toronto don't know how to dance, they talk and socialize during sets.fucking lame.
