Got back saturday morning after flying out thursday (07 07 2011):
Main room + new sound system = OH MY!!
Eddie halliwell was on first, i got there for about 1:15, he played right through til 2:30, the sound system adapted nice to the music he was playing, everything sounded "Phat."
PvD then started, his set was very energetic to say the least, lots of new music was always interesting, a few classics (greece 2000, beautiful things, into the night and playing for an angel live on the keyboard). There was a new mixer in amnesia next to the CDJs and i know that Van Dyk doesnt use them but for some reason the music cut out half way through beautiful things, it was only a minor error but it was fine for the rest of his set. He finished at 5:30
Next up was Gareth Wyn, I don't know why but i have always liked him as a dj, anyway, he started with a little bit of upbeat house, in this time i walked to the terrace to see if anything interesting was going on in there, i heard boom boom squeek so i walked back out after 5 minutes (cant stand that dutch house sound). On my entrance back into the main room he was playing SVD - Daisy and OH! the music cut out again! silly enough there was no back up mixer so he had to continue. Flaming June, Lethal Industry and Not Going Home followed. He also played one of his own tracks "beautiful" before closing the main room at 6:40, yes.. 6:40, they finished early because they couldnt solve the mixer problem. what a shame.
Eddie 8/10
PVD 8/10
Gareth 9/10 (for playing a lot of my personal favourites)
and on my very exciting 17 hour stay at ibiza airport (NOT!), i got to meet gareth wyn and eddie halliwell themselves!! all around good trip, cant wait to go back in september!
