my review of the night
picked up alec at 10:30 pm and the fun started right away. For those who dont already know, he is crazier than those arab racers in those videos being spread around here
picked up Kate (good to finally meet u formally, although we have partied together before) and chris
drive down to montreal was fun (as they always are) and the anticipation of the night ahead kept us excited
got to montreal at 1 am.....parked and then met up with Mazen, Malek, Raul and one other TA (sorry man....i dont think i said Hi to you)....and spent the next 2 hours at St. Suplice chilling......it was good to finally talk to Mazen in person......what a F'ing nice guy....and talking to Raul is always a pleasure....too bad we are not gonna see u much once u move to North Carolina!
Big props to FunkenLouis for showing up and making my night with his generosity.....you are the Funken MAN!!!!!!!
(to the Aria staff.......give him a raise)
i skipped out on the vodka drinking in Raul's car and decided instead to head out to Aria along with CHris......got in by 3 am
Brad copeland was doing a great job of getting the party started with his mixing and track selection......some really amazing tunes in there.....
Aria's renovations are quite something to behold....i have not been there since Ferry.....so i love the changes they have made......especially closing off the one side of the main stage......that has worked to reduce the traffic moving behind the booth......and the nice couches on the side are a nice touch also.....although they cut into the dancing space a bit. Plus the screen above teh DJ is perfectly positioned now......
only thing i hate is that damned smoke machine.....it kept making me choke.....why does Aria insist on using it.....the cigarrete smoke alone from all the people toking up is enough to keep the lights reflecting....more smoke is not needed IMO
Sander came on at 5:15 am.....and proceeded to start off with 15 to 20 min of boring music (compared to what Copeland had ended off with).....but by 5:35 he began to pick up the pace.....throwing down 3 latin style prog house tracks back to back....
his set was good.....it varied from average to amazing.....he would play one or 2 slower tracks before throwing down 5 or 6 amazing ones in a row...i didn't mind so much as it allowed time to recover from dancing
the set really became a thing of beauty by 8 am.....at which point the melodies and basslines were kicking...
i give his set an 8.5/10......only because his set played at at Stereo Jan 2003 was a perfect 10/10
(but last night as a whole was 10/10 due to good times, good friends, good music, good sound system, good party)...I had a blast....and i want everyone to know it
we left Aria at 10:15 am......and Sander was still working the dance floor.....can't wait for him to come again
p.s. Anyone know what time his set ended??????
