SICK SICK SICK SICK SICK INSANE mind blowing driving techno...
I have to admit, I've never heard Richie live before (fail), hadn't planned to go to this party b/c it was originally at Good Units and I don't like the sound there at all and didn't want to spoil my first Richie Hawtin experience...but since the venue changed, decided to rally the troops last minute and we headed over a little before 1am--got in easy and Richie was just going on...def didn't expect what I was gonna see/hear and most def didn't expect to be standing up on the stage watching him in action, but wow... he's got so much going on at once its mind boggling, i stood there just staring and watching his hands move from place to place, twisting knobs and pushing buttons. His focus is unbreakable and you can tell he really looks at this as constructing an experience for your mind, body, and ears..
video--towards the end of his set, around the 5 minute mark all hell breaks loose...he played this inaudible bass that rumbled the whole stage, you could feel it in your entire body but it didn't interfere with the other layers of the track..i can only imagine what it was like on the floor with speakers at full capacity. wish there was a way to catch that on camera...


place stayed packed and people were losing their shit with every build off every track.

BLK MARKET deserves MAJOR props for this! proving when they do the party themselves they do it RIGHT and are def the best promoters/party producers in NYC. venue was PERFECT for this type of sound and crowd, sound was dialed in perfectly, lighting was awesome, venue was climate controlled well and it drew everyone in and really reminded me why I love live music so much seeing the crowd go ape-shit when Richie would do that mind-control thing he does so well. icing on the cake to an amazeballs weekend.

i'm gonna go to sleep but first i need to comment: how the fuck did you write a review already??? (i'll read it in the a.m.) and also i can't see the pictures/videos/multimedia you shared because it's on facebook!

i had a GREAT night over all. danced wayyy up front alllll night long. brett and andrei were fantastic, gaiser was good, and then richie was obviously wonderful. i'm so glad he played late (or later than we all expected).
anyway, i had a really good time until i found that my car had been towed. fuck the police. and fuck me. what an idiotic mistake that was on my part. i'm never drinking 4lokos again, i'll tell you that muc hright now. good night.........................

well honestly - it puts you on a goooooooood drunk. after that + 4 or 5 shots of bacardi and then 3 beers inside i was unstoppable.

but i normally don't do totally retarded shit when i'm drunk. especially not when i'm just starting to get drunk. after the first 4loko i parked in a spot i didn't check if i could park in...and got towed. because i'm an idiot.

Ahh shit forgot about the FB Video thing...lame. I'll youtube upload em later and repost...sorry for the tease!
I am staying 3 minutes from where the new venue was, so it wasn't a far trip
