I am utterly disappointed at this WMC, from the SvD show, to the disaster at the Subliminal Party to last night at Space, I was so tired to catch bored I didnt have energy nor any desire after PvD to catch Sander K. LAst night I saw Jet Li, Jackie Chang, Lui Kang. I felt like crobar New York. |
You must be having a really bad WMC to say SVD sucked, because I do not think so, everyone from househeads to tranceheads have said he was great to incredible to a life-altering experience. Subliminal it rained, big deal it's WMC, and don't you like your chicks wet?
As for the PF Changs crowd, agreed 100%. But I have no issues with that population and they are supporting trance big time, so who cares.
As for the night let me first say the rumors of Space's disorgnaization, mob scenes at the door, long waits, etc were all BS. Got there @ 12 and got right in. The door was very smooth with no mob scenes at all, which probably had something to do with the 2 fire marshals at the door. The club was not packed at all at that time, by 12:30 the crowd had almost doubled and by 1 it was packed enough that I got worried. (although thank God it never got unbearable).
Edgar V's opening set was pretty good, a lot of chunky house. Proper Education and Josh Wink's Higher State of Consciousness (sick remix for sure I agree) stand out. He played good drinking music until 2, I took advantage, and then PVD took over.
PVD played for 4 hours, and I would say the set was not up to the standards of his November mainroom and June terrace sets. But to say he was horrible is crazy. I would say it was good, just not mind-numbing or anything like the last 2 times when he relentlessly mind-fucked everyone.
Luckily I partied my ass off and had a great time anyways, and nothing about the set hindered that one bit. He did play more house than I wanted to hear, using a lot of hard house for fillers as opposed to the hard trance/tech trance I prefer he use 100% of the time, but I guess that comes with the 4 hour set. I would say it was 80% trance, 20% house, no biggie there. PVD did have a shit load of energy in the booth, I have never seen him so animated, jumping around doing hobit skips and so much shit I thought he was Ferry Corsten for a second there. If only he could have channeled more of that energy into buidling up his set maybe it would have been better.
Overall a good night and good sets by both DJs, yet nothing mindblowing IMO.
