It was so COLD inside!

Ultra Event was nicely packed on Saturady night...

Caught M.O's stellar Opening set for Oscar G, and then left the main room for KH to see The Infected Mushroom; A lot of new stuff that I haven't heard in any of their past Live P.As was performed and it was takin' the Crowd to a dancin' frenzy...went back to the main room and Oscar was droppin' a lot of recognizable Vocal House tracks which would in turn make the clubbers to sing along!

Felix Da House cat had the Drink Massive Pumping to some really movin' groovin' funky HOUSE Music..So did M&S up @ the Skybar which was the Hottest place you could be if you were Single!LOL!LOL!

Pics Comin' up very soon

It is time

Well my night did not get off as planned, just as I was getting ready to head down to KoolHaus/Guv my friend Greg relized he could not find his wallet. After tearing my place apart look for it, then went back to his place, and still could not find it. SO he grabbed is old expired drivers license to use as ID, and his Visa bill with the phone number on it to call the credit card company. Then we had to run back to my place to pick up the things we forgot in the rush, by now it was 12:40AM so we grabbed a cab. Used the guestlist line for the first time thanks to John Tang and TA, thank god I had gone on guest list as the line up was huge at that time. Then they did not want to let my friend in with his UofT waterbottle, he finally agreed to leave it outside and pick it up on the way out. Mean while he had spent the entire time in the cab and in the line trying to get his credit card cancelled. Finally got in just after 1AM. IM came on shortly after, and were awesome, much better then the last time I heard them perform at Guvernment. Stuck in Koolhaus most of the night, saw Spam for the first time since destiny49 always good to see ya Spam, PM me your email and I will send you that Photo of you at Destiny I told you about. Christoper Lawrence was good but in my opinion not as good as the when I saw him at Guvernment in December, and we decided to leave around 5am. My friend was relieved to find his water bottle waiting for him outside, we decided to walk back to my place rather then the usual cab home, about 2 blocks north of Guvernment on Jarvis saw this guy passed out on the sidewalk he did not look to good, and even less good when the police arrested him and throw him in the back of a cruiser. Not eactly the night we had planned but we did have fun.

there were a lot of TAs there last night?!
more reviews please!LOL!

Simply a FANTASTIC Night.

Made my way down to KH around 11ish and when i got in after waiting in line for like 15 minutes which is not bad at all Deko-ze was ripping up the floor. Everyone was dancing and was having a great time. Deko-ze put a real good set and his stage presence was excelent.

Around 12:15 i made my way into Guv and there MO was just going nuts behind the decks. He set a real good vibe for Oscar G to come on. I didnt wait to see Oscar G come as it was now time for me to go back into KH and get lost with the tunes of IM.

IM were awesome. When City of Future came on the crowd went nuts. One thing i didnt like was some of the people that kept going on stage and pissing off the IM guys and then some of guys who kept running around the club with the flag. I got nothing against dancing and jumping around and having a great time but i mean c'mon, these reatrds bumped , pushed and kick me atlest 4 times during the IM set. Everywhere i went in KH they were there looool. Oh well moving onwards.

After IM came the DJ i had been dying to see for a real long time, Mr Christopher Lawrence. What a amazing and enegetic set he played. I danced my ass off non stop and really enjoyed his beats. Funniest thing was seeing people who kept screaming INFECTED even way after CL came on and when they realized it wasnt IM they started asking ' hey who is this dood' ? loool I got asked atleat like 7 or 8 times ' hey who is this dj spinning ' .

All in all i had a real good time and music was just phenomenol. Met with 1 or 2 TOTAs (since i dont know many yet) and it was all good times. Now hopefully i will get to see you guys at Viva for Airwave event.

And thats all i wrote about that.........

Excellent nite!! Still havent slept!! I.M. kicks my ass extra hard.
Then Christopher Lawrence kicked it again!!

Good to meet a few more TAs.

Better review and pics later....for now, sleep and shower.

My first solo rave without the usual accompniment of DJ Endgame, but none the less, this was a blast of a time, Infected mushroom actually hurt my legs, and my throat because was dancing and yelling to loudly, and the addition of that live guitarist...just blew me right away. C.Lawrence was phenominal, just hard pumping bass until i couldn't stay away at 5.. Huge shout uots to Lindsay, Laura and Barry for getting me there, John for the comp pass. Cheers guys, made my weekend amazing.

Note to all people: EVERY Infected Mushroom event will have the dancing isrealis with their flag. Expect it, stay away from it, and stop complaining, PLEASE!

IM didn't look too pissed about people getting on stage for them, they're used to it by now I'm sure.

time for a propper review. Was too tired earlier:

what a stellar night. Lauren's friend millie was out with us for her first guvvy experience with us. And my brother was out again, quiet as ever but with his own unique energy evident.

Let me tell ya I wasn't impressed early on by the sound in the KoolHaus. Maybe its cuz of the maxxed out alpha dynacord at system the previous night or maybe there was something off but the bass was lacking at times and the system seemed to lack the "oomph" required for DJ's like Deko-ze, IM and Lawrence. None the less Deko-ze played a great opener (god i love him) and it was a rare treat to see him spin longer than an hour at a special event. He didn't go as hard as I thought but was still great especially with his mixing. Very tight from one of Toronto's hardest working DJs. The sound picked up towards the end of the his set and by the time Infekted Mushroom came on, it was at an acceptable level of enjoyment.

Now I've seen this Israeli duo multiple times but last time was BY FAR the best i've seen from them. Terrific stuff, alot of expected songs but hey its a LIVE PA so to play their stuff is expected. The guitar solos and add-ons were brilliant and that guy hit it off with the crowd big time. Typical IM crowd...lotsa rudeness and lack of concern for fellow partiers displayed by their fanatical following but hey now its expected right? Smile Memorable tracks included: "I am the Supervisor", "Cities of the Future", "Deeply Disturbed", "Devil", and their last song of the live PA which blew the place to shreds...the name escapes me. Just when we thought they were done, they jumped on the decks and threw down ANOTHER HOUR of a dj set which was full of newer stuff i assume and other psy material...much darker but just as hard.

Lauren left sometime during their set because of an early work shift this sunday morning...sucks but hey what can you do right ? she was sorely missed for the rest of the night.

Christopher Lawrence finally came on about 4.10am which i thought was kinda late and unfortunately the KH crowd had dwindled somewhat. Lawrence started inauspicously as there was little energy to feed off after IM's madness. Soon however with ample encourage from me and a few other maniacs at the front he picked it up and some solid Trance started to flow from his decks. Tune after Tune and build up after build up...Just what i expected and more....great stuff by the #7 dj in the world. FLAWLESS mixing.

By 6 we headed over to the mainroom and patio and Mark was playing some darker tribal stuff that soon turned into allout trance. That didn't last long however as we were treated to a techno treat to end the night at about 7.15 or 7.30. One thing..Mark threw a water bottle at me while i was on the stage and obviously where I thought the bottle was in the air...and where it actually was ...was a lil off....sorry whoever was behind me and got hit by Mark's water bottle :P....funny stuff!!

Overall great night...aren't these ultra spins always like that. The patio had a lovely "SUMMERY" feel to it and the vibe was great. I heard Felix da Housecat and Oscar G were both really really good and lived up to their billing. Next up is my favourite international house dj (no NOT sasha)...STEVE "FUCKING" LAWLER...really no need to swear but FUCK he's just so damn filthy!!!!

rating - 9/10 (can't have a perfect night without my partner in crime )....thats right sam...suck up suck up Smile Smile

hahaha, i know what you mean, i got one in 2 hours myself (3 club nights in a row is tough as always)

As for the night went awsome. kinda a mish-mash of ppl asking for help getting in and rides and everything but it worked out really well in the end. (Thank you john and Shaya for your help as always)

Caught some of Deko-ze's set. not bad, like the more mellower house stuff from him, went to catch the end of olivers and some of oscar's. nothing special (Awsome motorcycle - Around You remix)

IM was DESTROYING the place when i got back but they seemed to tire the crowed out come 3am ish.

Went backstage for a quick interview with lawrence, he was running late and i think the promoters lost him when i was interviewing him because IM ran out of live material and started to spin records.

***Side note funny story, the guys from the GUV side stole one of the CDJ1000's for Oscar to use, leaving the KH with only 1 cd. well Christopher as many dj's has converted to mostly cd. THey hooked up a Denon DN-S5000 which he had never used. so i spent about 5 minutes teaching the #1 dj in the states how to mix. How funny is that? hahaha ***

Overall he dropped some good tunes, exactly what i expected from him. Very down to earth aswell.

As for the TA's always make my night great. Those that I hung out with, rock my world. For those I got to say hi to again or meet, its great to see you out.

Thats me for now, back in TO on the 24th for Airwave at Viva

Entered the Koolhaus in the not so sober state just before midnight to have dekoze doing some hard work. Infekted came on not too long after with their typical level of intensity and energy man their set was wild! I absolutely love them The crowd can be a little unpredictable when it comes to these guys but the front row had the hardcores singing and dancing along. Christopher Lawrence dropped some hard trance but my body decided to rest then besides it was kind of hard picking up where IM left but CL did a pretty good job. MARK thankyou for that last hour of music which pretty much completed my night. Awesome night I should add.
