i just went to your so called "Classic Trance" nite. It's nice that you're trying to bring some fun old tracks back, the only problem is there was barely any classic trance at all. I even heard new house which is the complete opposite. Throwing out DaHool, and binary finary doesn't count for a whole trance nite.

i was expecting to also gear communication and airwave...but i agree with paco... i wad expecting more trance anthems...

The night was suppose to be a best of classics form the past Seven years, not necessarily a night of ONLY TRANCE music...Here's what's on the Guv website for the advertisement:

THE GIFT
Spin Saturday's Presents:
A Very Special Night of Guvernment Classics

We are the ones we've been waiting for

it's gotta be tuff being a DJ like Mark since u can never please everyone ..

i wanna appologize to him and everyone else here if they were a bit misled into thinking that he was gonna drop an exclusively trance set (which he didn't) based on the thread topic that i used. for anyone who's ever caught him at Viva will know that he drops some serious trance tunage in that place..

it's a little harder at Guv since you have a much more varied audience coming out to party..

I have to agree with emery.

Mark dont worry , i am no critic on music, as long as it sounds good i am up for it!!

DAMN CRICICS!!!

I wasnt there for this night but i had enough through out the summer and some weekends of winter, but what can i say its hard to please such a huge crowd.!!

I have to totally respect you mark , you leave a trademark signature when you play at diffrent clubs, like when i heard you so many times at VIVA- You played some really hard trance and at Guvernment i heard a combo of House/Trance & Progressive.

But regardless you are torontos, hottest nightclub DJ. I think you blow of richmond st partiers in a split second, which none realise if they saw you play.

I fell in love with guvernment ever since i went there the first time.The summers are absoulotly wicked!!

I'm sorry some of you (Paco, sooper & Cyrus King) didn't have a good time.

After playing for over 7 years at Guv't every Saturday (except 4), I think I have a good grasp of what the classic anthems are. I really could have played for 24 hours to fit everything in, but unfortunately only had 8.5 in which to do so.

A common misconception about my "classics" is that they are all trance songs when, in actual fact, house music has been the genre most played over the years at Guv't.

Playing 65% trance (you're a maths whiz, samhouse) at "The Gift" surely upset all the house heads. Trance was represented far more than any other genre I've played over the years (for example, I only played one breaks track). Most of the weekly regulars are the most open-minded clubbers I've encountered and it's really tricky to mix various styles without sacrificing flow. This night was geared towards those who have supported the night on an almost weekly basis for the past 7+ years, not those who merely come out when a guest DJ drops in.

I alienated most of the house heads, but figured many of them would have been in Kool Haus for the Industry reunion. If that event had not taken place, "The Gift" set would have included much less trance and I wonder how many complaints that would have generated.

As far as playing some newer tracks goes, who is to say that something has to be old to be considered classic? Please don't shoot me for playing 9 tracks from 2003 in an 8.5 hour set. Consider those who are home or visiting for the holidays and just popped in to check out the club without realising that it was a night of classics. They'll probably complain that I'm still playing tracks from my Timeless Trance CD circa 1999.

I love all kinds of music and play a fresh variety each week. This is what has defined and shaped Spin Saturdays. "The Gift" was intended as just that: the club's holiday gift to all those who have helped in making it a top weekly night out. CONTINUED>>>>>>>

Without these regulars, we would have no night at which to host international guest DJs.

Don't look a "gift" horse in the mouth!

P.S. A night devoted to classics would never be complete without "Communication", the theme song from the Guv't website. I saved the best for last.
