Made Event's Electric Zoo lineup made you feel like a kid in a candy store. Combine that with the obvious lure of Manhattan, only an hour's flight away, and who could resist?

Audion - Audion's style is essentially minimal but distinctly unique. This DJ is not afraid to let a track ride - his music resonates & would be repetitious if not for his perfect use of nuance. At times it's just 'sustained noise' - at one point he had us vibrating from head to toe - but the overall effect is a sensual and dreamy sound that makes you just want to close your eyes and move. (Video Link)

Richie Hawtin - Techno Legend - Started THUMPING! and rose to PUMPING! This was the most exciting set of the festival for me with the most excited crowd I saw at the Sunday School tent. Fists were in the air, hands were clapping, feet were stomping, and the tent was rammed. This was techno at its finest.

Marco Carola - This is the sort of Techno that could even win over Eminem - it's just that danceable. Think of tech-house, take out the house, pump it way up and you'll get the idea. His set had a fullness that suggests constant mixing, and was seamlessly programmed - it was thumping and totally energizing. A perfect way to kick off the festival.

Guy Gerber - Tightly layered, full-bodied & galloping. Rave-style techno best suited to dark cavernous spaces, but still absolutely stunning on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Luciano - Super sexy tech with a vague ethnic/organic feel. Lots of horns. Really danceable.

Danny Tenaglia - There really is no need to describe DJ legend Danny T. Even so, he summed it up perfectly himself at the start of his set: "15 hours in 1.5"... gems, flashlights, and all. (Video Link)

Steve Bug - Very groovy. You would be happy sitting or dancing through this set. The kind of sound that keeps your head nodding to the beat, no matter how tired you might be.

Thank you Ferry Corsten (for "Out of The Blue", takes me back...))

Thank you Desyn Masiello (for a stunning remix of "How Soon Is Now")

Suggestions for next year:

• BIGGER Techno Tent, perhaps with VIP area
  
• Mixed drinks in all areas
  
• Cheaper beer
  
• Carl Cox?

Originally posted by LilyTech We checked out the after party on Sunday night at Pacha, New York - featuring Ferry Corsten, Josh Gabriel, Audion, and Seth Troxler. It was a really great time. The main room was packed with dancers but I especially enjoyed Audion and Seth Troxler playing back-to-back upstairs in Pachita. That's where I found what I was hoping to find on that night out in Manhattan - some nice and chill techno, with BPMs starting in the neighborhood of a pleasantly stimulated heartbeat and gaining over the course of the night. A perfect way to end a weekend of exceptional beats.

^^agreed! If I had just a *little* more energy, this party would have been one of the better moments of the weekend!




thanks for the review, swampmonsta, and I hope I did I good job being the Toronto-New York embassador (as requested by the NYTA's: "please intorduce me to swamper and the TOTA's, kellyyyyyy!!!" )

Nothing gets better. In five years we're all gonna be saying "you remember how good the first one was! Why can't it be like that again?" Especially TA! We're all whiners!

Except me of course
