Yes...Ferry is certainly a fucking GOD! I got in there about 11pm....Addy was cool for a bit. Nothing to make me cum in my pants but still a good warm up Dj. It took BT fucking forever to set up his "digital symphony" and as expected, he disappointed me and my buddies. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I gave his set about 40 minutes and then I was out of there to take in some Oliver in the main room and what I heard in there felt like a good old rave! (around 1:30 - 3ish). He's still a dink up there in the decks....no personality for sure, but my respect has gone up for him since Labour of Love, where his 2 hour set was drivel. Sorry, I don't drive 2 hours to see a 9 hour Mark Oliver set. I do like his Timeless Trance cd though.
Anyway, I'm so pissed off I missed about 45 minutes of Holden's set but my buddies wanted to chill in the hip hop room for a bit so I just took a breather. They wouldn't listen to me about Holden. But when we finally got in there, damn he was good. I'm not a progressive fanatic but what he did play was goooooooooood shit! He got me moving for sure and he's whacky on the decks.
Ferry was a little late but he fucking ROCKED!! Yes, his set was far better than Tiesto's I must say! Tons of trance, some progressive, some breaks....damn it was good. There were a few cheesy vocal tracks in the beginning and near the end but I almost went insane when he dropped Out of the Blue, Tenshi, Elevate, Punk and Ligaya. Holy FUCK! And he was SOOO nice too..easily the best personality I've seen! He signed so much stuff for EVERYONE who wanted something, ranging from vinyl, cd's, paper, shirts, bus passes, and MONEY! What a guy! But the best was when I saw a girl I know from the Tiesto forum....her name is Blanka (Mindcircus on the forum). She was the gorgeous one with the large chest up there dancing around. Anyway, she saw me and brought me up there on the stage and I got my picture with Ferry! I talked with him a bit after the set, told him he killed us all. I asked him what was up with Gouryella and he said "I'm going to try to get Tijs (pronounced TICE..aka Tiesto) to do another one with me this year. He's been busy...he is the number 1 now!" and gave me a big wink. I wonder what's really going on between them. Anyway, holy fuck....I haven't had anything special like that happen to me in a long time and I'm so grateful to Blanka for getting me up there. THANK YOU! By the way, I was in a blue plaid shirt with glasses with a tall black guy on the stage if anybody remembers me up there.
Anyway, I give the night a 10 for fun level and a 9 for music. Addy was appropriate, BT blew, Holden rocked and Ferry killed. He is a master of trance AND can spread out to other genres. I look for him to improve in this year's djmag poll.
