WOW. WHAT A NIGHT!
I had very energy recovering from a hangover so my dancing shoes were not on.
Got in at 9:30. Guestlist, coat check no problem. (Thanks Del for the reduced list)
Headed to Parkview to catch NuERA in action. Ahhhh... the blissful sweet sweet prog! Although it was early in the night, Andrew was laying down some heavy beats and I'm pretty sure he had more people dancing than what was going on in the mainroom at some points. Kinda tapered off to more Digweed style dark prog but picked it up later. Good stuff as usual. (We'll forgive your few dodgy mixes) 
Holy crap young'uns. I guess they don't get to go out more often so they come in real early but some of these kids can't be more than 13!
I also did catch some of Ray warming up the TA room. Honestly, I enjoyed his stuff at Butterfly the day before, but Ray was giving 'er. Liberation Lounge was PERFECT for TA room. Cozy, enough space for people to dance if wanted to.
Was also very impressed by Sean Crawford's set. Party tunes all the way. Demi - Drive is a fucking TUNE. I couldn't fault the set in any way.
What else can I said about Dennis Hahn than I've said many times before? The man smells... of TUNES! Hard banging house and trance that the crowd ate it up. I did enjoy the beginning and the middle of his set more than the end but that was best Dennis Hahn set I've heard recently. Yeah. The DJ booth was very sticky. Ah well. Can't have everything.
While waiting for Johan Gielen, drifted in and out catching various acts Linga Sharira's techy stuff, whatever DnB in main room, some hardstyle. Was getting a bit impatient but Johan Gielen did a good job. Mixing kinda sucked at times, his tricks were decent. Like he was trying to be Eddie Halliwell or something. Way too much usage of filter. Not that there are other effects on a xone62, but too much filter is annoying as fuck. His crowd interaction was awesome. Tunes were solid. Giving props to TranceAddict was pretty damn cool.
3:30 came and I wanted to see Stilez and Moebius. Haven't seen them play in such a long time. Tech trance goodness! Hertz - Breaker (Bryan Cox remix)! Good to see some DJs sticking to vinyls. Gives that old school touch that you don't get with CDJs. That was a very enjoyable set too.
Kyau and Albert... aka the main course. I guess if you're into fanny trance, you'd have had a good time. I was in mood for some of that, so I had a good time. (Then again, I was in the mood for anything) Standard stuff from their recent tracklists, but no Velvet Morning. That would have made my day. Modulation - Spirits (Slusnik Luna remix).... Classic TUUUUUUUNE!!! I never expected that tune to be played! Trance was alive and kicking as surprisingly more people than I expected stayed until the end to hear K&A. Good job. Awesome crowd interaction too. (Esp. the dude wearing the Euphonic shirt)
WARNING: If you ever plan on going to a Jelo show, be prepare to suffer the consequences of his dirty, nasty beats. He will ruin your body.
Feck. Never seen Jelo before. He meets the hype, and then some more. I had like zero energy but his tunes slapped me in the face and told me to dance and my body responded automatically. I suffer now. Jelo is a very sadistic man, to be playing body abusing tunes.
WOW.
Overall, I had a blast! Good to see many of you again (2 nights in a row!) Just smiles all around.
Oh, I dunno why the Docks keep getting slagged. The sound in the mainroom was fine. Wasn't loud to bleed my eardrums. Crisp sound (having a xone as the mixer helps). It was packed, but not to the point where you can't dance. Good ventilation.
Yeah, there were kiddies around but they blended in with the crowd and there were more than enough 'adult' crowd going around so the vibe was still good.
Honestly, I'd go to the Docks for a big event than go to Guv main room and be a sardine and sweat my bag off.
Overall: 9/10
Tune of the Night: Modulation - Spirits (Slusnik Luna remix)
Quote of the Night: Lars - 'I think I actually like this kind of trance!' (something to that effect. I giggled like a little girl when I overheard that)
