Just got home from Viva, and I'm dead tired so I'll just say a few things.

Dennis Hahn: Didn't make it in time for his set, but met him on the dance floor. A great guy, hope to be able to see him next time.

Walter Rosati: More uplifting than usual, best set I've heard from him.

Nu NRG: Amazing. I wish they played longer.

I'm gonna sleep now, hope you all had as good a time as I did.

Great opener, glad to hear some staple tracks from this year...

As I may have exclaimed to those around me, my pants are still wet from bouncing to every beat of Andrea and Giuseppe's performance. Hearing live renditions of Connective and Space Flower literally blew my mind. Thanks to The Crew (John, Mike, Stef, Ashley and her amazing London Bunch, and the ever enthoused Dan) and Tatgirl for the photo with the talented performers.

While they only gave us an hour of their souls, I enjoyed each moment right at the very front of the floor, captivated by every snare and string that they felt necessary to give us.

Thanks to VIVA nightclub for providing a spacious venue to enjoy one of the groups near and dear to my <3. Glad to meet the Michigan crew, thanks for the Camels, always nice to taste those American ciggies. Hope your trip home is safe...

- Chris

OMG, what a weekend.....

Gonna try to keep this short.

Got to club at 12:10, and Dennis Hahn was playing an AMAZING set. Congrats! Loads of TA's in attendance eager for the moment we'd all been waiting for so long, and the club filled up quicker than last time. Then Rosatti continued the festivities ("Sosei" was the BOMB!!!). Met several new people too (thanks for the bracelet Melody, & nice to meet u, Kaika (sp?)).

Took position at the front at 3am, and soon after, Nu-NRG were on. Giuseppe spotted me in front & waved hi. Something went wrong with the equipment midway thru the intro, so they had to start over again, at a different point of the set. Not too far in, the long awaited tune gets dropped: TAKE YOUR AIR!!!!!!!!! OMG I DIE! (so did RJ, and probably every other TA in the room). Lost about 5 lbs in sweat during that tune. Several of the transitions didn't work out so well, but who gives a shit? Nu-NRG was here, and that's all that mattered. Then went to the side of the stage to take shots from there, and "The Eternal" is dropped. OMG I CRY!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, the set didn't go into overtime as we had hoped, but they were kind enough to sign autographs and take pictures with everyone. Considering the amount of time it takes to set up & break down, you'd think they'd want to play a little longer? Jetted out of there real quick, as we have LOADS to do today (including picking someone up from the airport in 3 hrs).

Thanks to Vince for taking me in as your guest- congrats on winning the contest (u lucky bastard!). Thanks to Temporal Rhythm for bringing Nu-NRG to us after all our pleas. Thanks to Graham (u know why). Thanks to Arturo for helping my dream of hearing 'Take Your Air' live come true, and big thanks to Giuseppe and Andrea for the wonderful music you make us so happy with. We hope to see you again here soon.

Write more later- falling asleep at the keyboard.

I can now die happy.....

xoxo-

*yawns* wow wat a nite! i thought i was going to be so tired from downtown all day not a chance! soon as i walked in omg - nu nrg was awsome, to bad they didn't play a lil longer, o well! still godly in my mind! the only thing i didn't like was the 80 ppl jus sittin at the back by the VIP lounge until like 1, but in the end...it was all good - nu nrg unbelievably godly!

Wow... here was a night of proper clubbing.

I knew it was gonna be sweet because right when we got there at 11:40 Hahn was spinning Mindcircus, I heard it from the car haha.

We went in, and since I've never been to Viva, I was immediately blown away by the laser effects. Very impressive.

The only thing was like mystik trance said, up until about 1am nobody was on the dance floor. My girlfriend and I along with probably mystik trance (haha) were the only people on the floor for a while. Then around 2 am the main floor got a lil too crowded for my tastes (well, it just seemed like so many people were trying to get by in the middle of the floor?)

I heard truckloads of great tunes spun last night, I loved every second of it, except the song Rosati spun after Tiesto's Traffic... what the hell was that, it wasnt boom boom boom it was bvvvvvvvvrrrr for 5 minutes. But all in all absolutely awesome track selection from Dennis Hahn and Walter Rosati. Can't remember 'em all but I especially loved Whirlpool - Under the Sun, Rapid Eye - Santa Cruz, Nickelson - Ying, Octagen & Arizona - Starburst,

NU-NRG... nothing more needs to be said... they played Take Your Air, they played The Eternal... the rest is history. Hopefully somehow someone recorded their set in MP3 format- that would be too great.

I wish I would have asked NU-NRG for autographs when they were setting up and no one was there around midnight. Or at least a high five haha.

Amazing night, we left shortly after NU-NRG went off... I can't wait to see some pics, USA/Canadian border does not take kindly to clubbers, time for bed.

What a great party.. Nu-NRG was so good, they played dreamland.. i can die happy now... All the TOTAs out in full force, nice to see old faces and new faces... walter rosati simply tore it up after nu-nrg, i wasnt so fond of his before set, but i was still really sore from GG... remember hearing Holding onto Nothing, some A&B track (cant remember name), Crush, Connective, tons of good tracks, too lazy to list them... ask RJ, he knows every single track (even that 13 year old track... you are the king of men RJ)... for some reason that party reminded me of when PVD played here in october... oh ya... BIG UP TO THE MICHIGAN CREW... you guys made our night (im loving this zabiela cd), TOTAs led the party once again... never a dull party when theres a full TOTA crew...thx nat for showing me the light, how did i ever consider turning this party down?

i need sleep...

peace everyone, thx for the wicked night


ps. where was MO?
