Absolutely Incredible Party !!!
Armin - ROCKED !! Probably the best set of the year!
Orkidea - FAR exceeded my expectations. I was expecting
to hear boring progressive from that guy. What did I hear?
Amazing Trance !

Generally, this was probably the best party I've been to
in my life !
Met lot's of Tranceaddicts. Where did the banner dissaper though?
The only dissapointment was that Armin only played 2.5 hours.


Thanks to Sonic state for organizing such a party ! Keep it up guys!

PS. Anybody know name of the last track Orkidea played?

Hehe...looks like everyone is still in recovery mode...
Ya...where did the trancEaddict banner go?
Hopefully it's in good hands!
I wish Armin could have spun earlier...4am is a time only those with the mental stamina could have survived...but it sure did ROCK!
Definately big props to the Sonic peeps for a great show.

Insanity, the docks was an awesome venue, with fantastic sound and lights, great crowd. Orkidea's tech-trance filled up a space in my heart that said fill with great tech-trance. AVB managed to keep my exhausted feet moving non stop. Great stuff!

4am, for people with good mental stamina, gimme a break, if you can't last till 7am without drugs you shouldn't be calling yourself a tranceaddict (people of T.Dot, leaving a party/club at 7am in Montreal is the equivalent of leaving a party at 5am in Toronto!)

Anyways, I found it alright, I personally prefered Orkidea's set better than Armin's (if only because I've been hearing too much trance lately)

There was something about the crowd of this rave that reminded me how I use to feel at raves, I must of been sporting the after-hour club vibe (which aint a bad one), but I just didn't seem feel as excited as some of the kids.

Poor Billy Nasty, SS should not of booked him in the same time slot, as AvB, this guy looked really depressed while he was spinning (being that 20 people were in the room at any given time), and I think took off before 5am.


Good sound, good people, nice lighting (damn I LOVED the sorta red/blue strobe light effect, that made my night), top notch event, I hope it worked out financially for sonic state as well.

peace out

Ahhh...just getting back into Buffalo at 4pm sunday..hehe. What a fun night. It was so nice to meet so many TA's! Seeing members of this board out in full force really makes one feel united at a party like that.

Orkidea showed us why he had the headlining time slot last night. Pure class from that man. I really enjoy his style of trance...not to slow...not to fast...just right

Armin reminded me so much of Tiesto. The way he would raise his right arm up, telling the crowd to go nuts...the way he would smile...just like Tiesto. It seemed as if he didn't like those vestex decks too much though.

All in all a great night. Props go out to the Sonic State crew for another production well done. I just love parties done by SS because you know you'll be getting the best sound, music and decorations from them.

Again, good to see everyone out...until next time.
Peace,
Steve

Well I had fun last night...even though I had to leave @ 3:45 so, yes, I missed Armin which was my major dissapointment.

On the upside, I did really have a great time, this was my FIRST rave, and me and my friends all agreed it was great

I met a few tranceaddicts, I'm sorry a forgot most of your names, but I remember seeing Fir3star3r in front of me dancing to Orkidea, and I recall seeing a very large guy who looked alot like a pro-wrestler (trancecstasy I think?), and I met another dude and a very beautiful girl wearing a tranceaddict shirt by the tranceaddict banner @ the beginning of the night.

I didn't catch Billy Nasty, but I was really feeling Ian Ossia's set, and Orkidea did a great job in my opinion, but then again this was my first time seeing any good DJ live so it may just seem to me like everything was great

Highlight of the night for me was definately when Orkidea dropped Ralphie B - Massive .... I was going insane.

Anyways big ups to those I met, to the promoters I had a great time (and for some reason, I picked up some free fruit and dammit it was the best fuqin apple I Ever tasted in my life), and I thought the visuals were nice too.

Respects to Sonic State!

Peace!

it honestly had the potential to be a very great night for me...but unfortunately it wasnt...i came alone but thankfully to my fellow TAs i felt like i came with a great group of ppl....well it was ok i didnt get to see AVB unfortunately because i had to jet early for my soccer game that i had in two hours...but it was still alright...what also made it kinda icky for me was being sober....i was completely sober and seeing everyone all fucked up kinda disgusted me...i wish i had at least drank a few beers but i didnt have cash....

te music was pretty good i was very happy to hear alot of trance before avb came on because i was expecting alot of house....but still some of those odd tribal house songs were dropped ( uknow the type of crap Mark now plays) but other than that the music was good...

i me a shit load of peeps and i wanna thank them...I wanna also apologize because i wasnt feeling much sociable last night or else i would have all gotten u rounds and talked to you....but honestly i wasnt in the mood...

one more thing disgusted me abt last night all the fuckin shooter girls were from my highschool...ya that disgusted me lol....anyways all in all it was alright though i feel like i wasted my cash last night for no reason...

OH MAN!!!

I had so much damn fun last night, its just insane. The music was non stop action from the time I got inside to the horrible turning on of the lights.

Orkidea really impressed me. Its great to have no expectations for a DJ and then having him blast your trance ass into space. Ralphie B - Massive was indeed madness.

My body dug into the reserves for armin and he abused every part of it. I enjoyed his set allot. Orkidea and him are a fantastic combo.

Sonic State, you guys are awesome. Really a wicked production, lights sound, and yes F---king free fruit (delicious).

And the crowd was amazing, chilled out happy people with nothing but sweet love for trance. It made me smile many times throughout the night, so thank you to everyone who let the music, sorry trance (I dont think the definition of music applies to trance) engulf their energy and souls. Great to see so many TA's as well.

peace out, im back to bed.

What a nite, got home at 7:30ish and slept off and on till now. I didnt get to finish Armin's set 'cuz a friend of mine was gettin bored and tired as trance really isnt his style...

Anyhow, Orkidea rocked. His style of trance is truly unique and moving (moves my feet at least...) Like Viceroy said, Armin reminded me a lot of Tiesto with the arms in the air and the perpetual smile as he worked w/ the mixer. I managed to shake both orkidea's and Armin's hand as well as get Armin's sig on a paper....very neat

It was nice to meet a couple of the TA's. I dont post ofen here, in fact I rarely do. I recognize some of the faces from Tiesto though. Heck, I was dancing right by Trancearmada @ Tiesto and didnt even know it! Good idea w/ the "Hello I am..." stickers... Seeing you all there has given me reason to post more! Hopefully at the next party i'll get to meet some more of you and you'll actually recognize me instead of thinkin i was just posing as a TA to be cool..heh.

Peace! and best of luck recovering ;P

If I am not mistaken they were requested by da man himself ( i dun mean armin).....hehe

Question: Who were the two guys sitting on top of the table in front of the tranceaddict sign early in the night (during Ian Ossia's set)
