the whole night was hard.. i loved it, it seemed as though the whole buildup was lead to holding onto nothing, which had the whole place jammin'

Originally posted by sunnyval gee, was i at the same party? I arrived around 11:30 and positioned myself in front to see pvds start..It was awesome music thruout the night and i agree with Lunasea about the techno pvd threw around 3am..awesome! BUT yes the big but, hardly danced all night. To compare with last nov the crowd was SOOO different i tried to find a spot in various areas to get my groove on and people were just pushing and shoving all nite long. My friends and I were so fustrated. i probably only danced 1/2 hr to 45 min total. I wound up leaving early because i didnt want to just sit and listen, It is torturous to me lol I needed to move. so i left at 3:30. It prob got better after 4 but couldnt wait for the place to empty out. hopefully next time PVD will play at a bigger venue. I also didnt see too many familiar faces I think I so 2 Tas.

Few words…

Wow…I wasn’t expecting anything from the evening: I really felt his sets from may 2003 and on were very weak and repetitive. Imo November 2003 set at roxy was really poor. Hadn’t seen him since then and wasn’t sure what to expect…

Got to roxy a little after 11 with greg and my sister Jessica, still needed to find my other sister Lara, but she wasn’t going to get there until later. the sound system sounded like absolute garbage when edgar v was playing, wasn’t feeling his set. paul came on right at 12, but first BPM presented him with America’s Favorite DJ award for 2003. then he proved to roxy why he won the award…

He BLEW me away. From the first track to the last track, he was relentless, and the crowd seemed to love every minute of it. I loved his sound through the first two hours: funky electronic dance music- fun to dance to and keep you moving, a bit of techno, breaks, and melodic tracks (without the CHEESE). there was a gorgeous track with piano and light vocals, maybe played around 1:15 – dying to know what this was. he really kept the energy level up all night long – the dance floor was still packed when he ended his set.

For the first 2 hours of paul’s set, we were a little distracted with the need to find my other sister. Realized how crowded the club was, and knew chances of finding her were relatively slim and gave up. Soo lucky to have bumped into her at the side bar around 2:30 and the party just elevated from there.

It was great to see a lot of familiar faces: ALEX, JEN, RORY – my fave pvd party friends!! Shout out to: Arturo, Bri, Alex, Andreas, Chris, Corey, Dennis (at the end!). And a few new faces too…it’s just so hard to really meet or talk to anyone for me during paul’s sets…#1 I can’t hear the other person and the real conversation is: “I can’t hear you, what??” #2 the music is sooo good I just wanna dance!!

So many great tracks played, sooo tired by the end of the night…lots of encores and I kept thinking this was going to be the last track, so I made myself dance, but then there was another track, and another one! Ending the night with dreaming into for an angel was the perfect end to an almost perfect night…

Just two complaints:
1. ROXY – please open another girl’s bathroom, the line and wait is absolutely ridiculous.
2. Crowd was a little pushy (but it was super crowded), and there were some major e-heads that made certain parts of the night very frustrating…

REALLY looking forward to WMC!! See you there!!

i believe he also played: TETRAFLUX - OKINAWA

until next time...

Blow up Roxy. LMAO!!! You really think the club is that bad? Anyway, regardless of the club itself, what did you think of the track selection?

why do you keep going if you think it sucks too much, and if its the same crowd? i could never understand people who bash on the place and keep going.

personally, i have a blast regardless because PVD knows how to rock a crowd. Roxy's sound qual that night, i agree with others, wasn't up to par as before because there had to be something wrong.
The 3-4AM techno-type shit he threw down was incredible..
When he played Above & Beyond - no one on earth (gabriel & dresden remix) near the beginning.. that set my mood for the night

pz

HMMMMMMM....i really don`t know what to say about pauls performance, it was tooo random for me, there was no flow at all, but i had sooo much fun meeting everyone(arty, bri, dani, indy, jon, lee, vladi, jay aka THE BREAK lol, alex, etc. pp.) and in the end he caught me with his encores like FACE 2 FACE...i die for this tune. it was also great hearing deeks remix once again!
andreas and i missed this "bass in your face" feeling the whole night. we would give him a B- .

this is exactly what i am saying...
i might reconsider my $40 investments towards pauls preformances since the roxy isnt my place to chill
i mean please understand where i am coming from, the way i see it and to be completely honest, i think paul seriously shits on ny when he comes to play ever since twilo closed...his only exceptions are soundfactory, arc, and central park. THAT IS IT! every other gig has been average. do you think you can have a room moving to Jonsey - Independance @ roxy? thats strictly a twilo song lols thats when u know paul is playing for you...

im sorry for being so skeptical its just that after learning what wmc is about, attending parties outside of nyc, i've grown to learn that nyc doesnt receive the true heart of all DJs, that they come here and play to what they believe NYC would like. i dunno nyc has become to mainstream oriented so much so that djs alter their trackselection to fit what they think NYC would like! another .02 of me
