Really great party on sunday I'll start off by saying that!
I got there around 11:30 to see a decent size line up but it was not too bad which was surprising but later seen why it wasn't so bad it was pretty full already, the staff did a good job getting people in and keeping the line moving + it doesn't hurt having somebody in line waiting for us. But well done by the staff for this event.
Funkagenda:
I forget how good this guy is every time i see him, he has the effect where you know he's good but he surprises you when you see him spin. He has a very good mixture of genres thrown in to the set and some pretty nice build ups involved, it had me dancing for a good part of the set and singing along to some of the tracks, Well done.
Armin Van Buuren:
I made my way to KH to check him out since I have not seen him in a while and to be around most of my friends who are trance nuts. He really surprised me with how hard he came out and continued to keep that pace, I was really impressed with his set and I am not a huge fan but I don't hate the guy. It was so hot in Koolhaus and it got unbearable + Armin did some really dumb prayer pose & then bam in to a jesus pose... I said "f this noise" and left but... I must say a lot of girls were beautiful there and didn't seem to care if they showed some skin.
Dirty South:
Dirty South was Dirty South.. pretty much similar to last time he was here a couple months ago but I think he is awesome and didn't see most of his set so I can't really comment on it but what I head of it was pretty much what I heard last time.
STEVE LAWLER!
"Hey Toronto.. How you doing? I'm glad to be back. Let's take things a little Deeper" or something like that.
3:30 am this man's intro just brought me to life! Incredible!!!! I'm still buzzing off of this set, the flow was just out of this world! it started off slow and bouncy and then got dark! This set actually reminded me a lot of Carlo Lio's style, I don't have the words to tell you how good it was.. throwing in Techno here and there also, Lawler really brought it to Guv sunday.
Surprise track of the night for me was "Cold Comfort (Patrick Siech Remix) - Christopher Bleckmann" amazing also throwing in "Oliver $ - Doin' Ya Thang" towards the end & for a finally playing Radio Head to close his set. Lawler was amazing but he ended early and I don't blame him since he had a boat cruise later and I think the plan was to go spin on skybar but the weather was shit.
Really upset i missed the cruise and Cz after but money wasn't there.

Armin:
Saw the first 35 minutes or so. In that time, it didn't really sound like he was playing "trance", more like house, some electro, with the odd trance break (ala SHM). It was OK, probably the most OK time I had seeing Armin. Fun visuals. On one of the vocal tracks, the lyrics scrolling on the screens had spelling errors ("You where" instead of "You were"), haha.
A-Trak (tent):
The tent was a disaster sound wise. The sound was so low, you could have a conversation at normal volume 10 ft from the speakers. Terrible. Someone really dropped the ball sound wise. It felt terrible when he dropped a bass heavy track, and almost nothing comes out. It was that bad.
Dirty South:
Nothing special, played some typical tracks.
Steve Lawler:
YEEEEES. This was the first time that night where I was actually dancing, he never disappoints.

Was There from 12-5
Armin Sets was Pretty Wicked, I caught the firt Hour and Last Hour. There was lil to no vocals when I was in KH, so I was plenty Happy. Blake Jarrel played some Mainstream Remixes which seemed to get the crowd going...
Was in Tent for A-Trak, where I ended up regrouping with a bunch of peole I lost in KH. He played Black and Yellow and Robot Rock so I couldnt be happier.
Caught the Last 30mins of Dirty South and First 30mins Lawler. AMazing stuff all around.
Came back to KH with some more Banging Trance, Loved it.
Music Great Crowd was great (crowded but you had space to walk in ALL rooms) Girls were wicked (Sexier and Friendlier than usual)...Sound was great.
If you were by the LEFT SPEAKER for AVB KH I was the Brown Guy Smoking a Splif and Going Wild!!
