Paul Oakenfold @ Aria (Saturday 29th June)
i just came back from Aria , and i never remembered myself dancing all night long before , maybe Oakenfold is hypnotizing ?
over all it was good , let's focus point by point on how was the place :
-the music : Oakie is a Trance DJ , yes guys i said a TRANCE DJ , not breakbeats or prog (like people keep on saying nowadays) or maybe it was an exception for Montreal ?? i doubt it anyways . He played many trance tunes (that mostly i don't know about) and he closed his set with CJ Bolland - The Prophet and William Orbit - Addagio (it was remixed with a vocal tune).
-the venue : I've never seen Aria packed that much , maybe at Misstress Barbara 3 or 4 weeks ago ? there was no place to dance of course but at least there was enough cold air in many places . I think Aria has set a new record , i'm gonna say there were 5000 ... maybe more maybe less 
-the crowd : haha as expected there were a lot of those we were making fun earlier , aka "paul van oakenfold the famous dj whose name is on internet" , a lot of Oakie's real fans , and as usual a lot of HOT CHICKS , God i love this city 
-the man himself , Oakie : well he's not called "Oakie" for nothing , i mean he's really short (like Ferry Corsten) and he does a lot of his special moves while mixing , dancing and stuff . Somehow , i noticed something really weird , the guy was just relaxing , unlike other djs , he doesn't spend time looking for his vinyls or cueing , once he put a track he just sits back , and watches the crowd haha . I felt like the set was pre-recorded , i'm pretty sure he knew what he'd play all in advance , even his track selection was extremely small , 8 or 10 vinyls and 3 cds , that's all !!
-the TAs : it's always great to party with you guys , ZinG ahlamalek TechnoFreak El-See & all the others i've seen . See you all at the next event
i think that's all , if i remember something else , i'll add it later . Gonna watch the world cup final , DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES !!!!!
