Johan Gielen 10/25/03 Review
First off, Sorry for the long post.
What a great night out at Glow! I was so excited all week just to get my ass back down to the best club in the world. Got in line about 10:30 and was quite suprised to see such a long line. There were way people out for Johan than I had expected. The dance floor was packed all night long! Easily his biggest showing. Pete laid down a great set, that I really enjoyed. Especially hearing Conjure One - Center of the Sun (Junkie XL Remix), Thanks a million for that one Pete, I loved hearing that one in the club!
Anyway, Johan took the decks shortly after one and started off with some really high energy stuff to get the crowd going! I thought his set was really good and so was his mixing, for about the first hour, but after about 2:30, well....his mixing was really off, but no one in the crowd seemed to even notice. I guess that's the curse of having a fine tuned ear, cuz I pick up on all the mistakes. Nevertheless, he played some fine tunes, some new, some old, but I really didn't care for all that cheese! C'mon now, a remix of 50 Cent - In da Club, P-diddy's Ill song, that remix of Madonna's?????? I'll go my local top 40 club if I wanna listen to that crap! Would've definitely preferred some uplifting trance. Speaking of, where was that all night? Only uplifting song I can remember was Rank 1 - Breathing(Airwave 2003)(Push Breaks Vocal) <--I think Anyway, there were a host of other songs I didn't really care for either, but thats just my own personal taste.
But don't think I didn't have a great time anyway. I was still up front rocking out most of the night, cuz the crowd energy and vibe was great. Everyone was really getting into it.
Awesome getting to know all you guys from this board: sky, glitter, nubreed, dream beamz, busy_child and of course Sergio! Your my boy blue! And anyone else I forgot to mention, after all, it is almost 7am (really 6am cuz of the time change) and I haven't gone to bed yet.
Oh yeah, how about that girl that was totally trashed falling all over everyone up front, man was she wasted! When Johan came out to greet the crowd, and everyone pushed up front, I think it was her, or maybe someone else, but they spilled whatever red drink they had, all over me! You Bastard!
sky, glitter, nubreed, sergio, everyone that was there and some who weren't, I'll see you guys all next week for Tiesto, perhaps at the meetup as well.
Some tracks I remember hearing: (in no particular order)
Motorcycle - ATRC (Armin Van Buuren's Universal Religion Remix)
DJ Tiesto - Lethal Industry
Igor S - Boomerang
Boss@nova - Stone Cold <---Am I the only person who totally hates this song?
Rank 1 - Breathing(Airwave 2003)(Push Breaks Vocal)
50 cent - In da club (Some stupid trance mix I think)
Madonna - I think it was Die another day (tiesto Remix), but I kinda tuned it out so I don't remember exactly
Junkie XL - red pill, blue pill
Tiesto - Traffic (Max Walder Remix)
I think I also heard Underworld - Born Slippy????
Sorry, can't remember anything else at this time, although I'm sure the rest of you will fill in.
Again, I still had a blast, even though I have to critize, (I'm entilted to my own opinion) So glad I finally got to meet all you guys from this board! Excellent time!
