it was good to be out dancing as hard as I could last night.

Victor owned.....

Loved almost all of it except for the last hour of Sanchez' set. It was weird, like super up-tempo tribal tech and not in a good way. But D&P did a great techy, funky opener, Roger was busting out the classics for a good while, and although I unfortunately had to leave fairly early, I was actually pleasantly surprised by Calzone, who was giving us the full-on New York tech treatment with some occasional tribal mixed in.

Great tunes (almost) all night, and as always, thanks to the troopers for making the overall night as good as it was.


P.S. Oh dear lord the lights... I don't think I've left any other club with my eyes hurting more than my ears. Next time I'm bringing shades, I don't care how sketchy it looks.

interesting.. i find the guv to be far more illuminated, to an almost uncomfortable feel. however it has never bothered me to the point where i feel the need to bring shades. im am certainly not a fan of bright lights or even lasers for that matter. when it comes to lights/lasers i feel as though less can often be more.

personally i don't think the party started until calderone came on. He really delivered. This performance was superior to his first at circa IMO.

Really enjoyed the club (as usual). Cant wait to see what cox will do.

wow. well i guess my view of the night was completely different then everybody else's.

i thought sanchez did an amazing job. especially in the last hour of his set! i was very happy that he stayed away from his commercial sound. he did play a couple old remix's though.

i've seen calderone numerous times and i would say that was the least impressed i've been with him. i even saw him in montreal in august and he did 10x better there. i don't know what it was. between 5 and 6 he started banging out some much harder stuff. i was loving it, but my body couldn't move anymore after doing oktoberfest the night before and then getting destroyed by sanchez. so we bailed right before 6. i'm guessing he only got better from there though.

it was my first time at circa and i was very impressed as most of you already are. it's pretty easy to lose yourself in all the different rooms and the layout is amazing. i'm looking forward to the next tribal booking they bring in.

Originally posted by devnull Wow simply WOW! Got there at 3 am to catch Victor Calderone and im so glad i made the trek up to toronto! As soon i got in, i could hear the thumping basslines and the drums! His set was definitely tribal! He played hard from 3-6, not sure when he stopped. The soundsystem was perfect for tribal! I felt like I was at Stereo <3 I think overall I would have been more pissed at missing calderone than beyer, thats how good last night was !! Ran in tons of familiar faces last nite, Sarah, stefan, cribby, maggie, Pat, Knox, RJ and others Was nice seeing Knox dance last nite lol Circa, please bring the drums back to toronto on a consistent basis.

Tribal? What party were you at?

VC was playing dirty tech!

there was plenty of drums in the set. I think you are allergic to tribal for some reason and dont want to acknowledge his set was quite tribally.

last nite was quite the circuit party! yet dudes were still trying to hit on my gf lol At least i didnt get on (unlike cribby by an old dood) lol

Just because there is some percussion in the tech he was playing, doesn't mean it was tribal.

Go on beatport, and search Victor Calderone's chart. He played all the tracks from his chart last night. Tell me how many tribal tracks you see on there.

Calderone has been a god in Toronto for 10+ years, that's why the older crowd comes out.

there were quite a bit of bears in the crowd, but they were outnumbered by 20-30 yr old gay people. 90% of the crowd down in the pit was guys.

didnt mind tho, felt like i was @ Stereo, good times

It almost felt like Stereo. The only thing is when Calderone shut down last night he would be "starting" at Stereo to go until noon.

But it was a great party. Calderone was really impressed by the set last night.
