This is pretty cool, considering the number of massive events these guys have been to:

Just for fun which of these would you rank # 1 in the world
Place to DJ?

Piet: Government Toronto
Benno: Bedroom



I saw Piet at the Guv last winter with Markus. Actually the first time I ever walked into the Guvernment was to see Rank 1.

Thought you TOTAs would get a kick out of this

Nice to hear. Not the first time a DJ has said that. There's an article I read in DJ Mag or iDJ a few years back (2004/2005) where Ferry said the same thing. And correct me if I'm wrong Armin said it too.

All the trance DJs love Guv! Hehe

A friend told me about the DJ Mag ranking last month. DJ Mag's poll shows the Guv is #8 in the world! Pretty sweet when you see the other contenders on the list:


Guvernment - there’s one city that loves trance, it’s Toronto,” believes Armin van Buuren. “And if there’s one club that knows how to rock, it’s the Guvernment.”

There is a funny pic of Piet having John (E2EK1EL) in a headlock during an appearance here ~4 yrs ago, lol.

(I'd link it, but it's gone from the old threads...anyone?)

It is time

I remember the time back in 05 when Piet came to the predrinks at a pub by Guvvy we were all at... Tyler (i think) and someone else picked him up at his hotel and brought him over.

When they arrived, all the TAs (maybe 20-25 of us?) got up and gave him a standing ovation so to speak.... just mad clapping for a minute.

EVERYONE else in the bar was like "WTF Who is this guy??" you could tell. They were wondering why the hell we all got up to clap at his arrival.... lol

that was funny.


Ya, and for the record: Love Piet. Good guy. Great DJ.
