Than you not entitled to say anything about any DJ unless you hear it live right where he is playing, all his sets all the time which is impossible.You are reviewing it on based what you hearing not based if you there or not. You can be there and just hear people, noises, not able to catch a dj playing, and so on ..Does that entitle you to give reviews more than the guy that listen streamed to all djs or on radio? That's fucking retarded, you listening both to music in end.
Doesnt mean shit... you can not base a whole festival on a few of the djs that spun -__-

Review:
Today was all about the Sunday School Tent!!! Ida, Liebing, Ritchie: holy f*cking sick beats in that tent, wowza!!!! Gabriel and Dresden were cool to listen to some ol skool songs, but I didnt really like many of the remixes. I wish that at least one or two songs were the originals, but thats just me wanting to be nostalgic.
Tried seeing Armin for a bit. I am glad he at least picked up the pace from last year, but it really did absolutely nothing for me or anyone around me. Even the Ferry "Out of the Blue" remix of some sort was pretty bad. A lot of people left, which was surprising. I figured the kiddies would stay, but they all bounced! Weird. Last year I had to weed through HOARDS of people to get to a decent viewing area of Armin, where as this year, about half the crowd ditched after Afrojack, and never came back. That tells you a thing or two I guess! I got an "I told you so" from a couple people (you know who you are).....Oh well, the kiddies like it, so I moved on to Ritchie who destroyed the Sunday School, and I am so glad that I ended there.

do you think it was Armin or more of a transportation situation? Getting out of EZ last year was a BITCH. I ended up paying $80 for cab to downtown and ****** had the balls to pick up 2 more people to ride along with us, whom he also charged $50 when we arrived, whereas I thought we'd split the fare.
I thought Armin's set was MUCH better than expected and definitely more memorable than last year's. The "Beautiful things" mash up was FANTASTIC!!! And G&D set was bloody good too.
Sidebar: I really wanted to go and I was really hoping to catch Carl Cox and Hawtin, along with Markus but my usual party pals were too busy with life, work, too broke to go, coaching soccer tournaments, etc. and I didn't feel like going by myself, on top of other reservations I outlined earlier.
I nearly bit the bullet 2 days before the event and bought the tix but looking at the schedule, I realized that acts I wanted to see were overlapping with others, forcing to choose and I didn't want to see much of anyone else, so I didn't feel it was worth it. I guess if you got tons of friends that are with you, it probably would have been fun(er), even with shitty acts.
Hope they bring more trance acts/live acts next year and some less predictable headliners too. I'd love to see at next EZ:
Roger Shah
Menno De Jong
Airbase
Carl Cox (main stage/closer)
Sasha
Faithless
J00F
Lindstrom (again, please!)
Michael Cassette
and fuck, while I'm wishing.. .why the hell not:
JEAN MICHEL JARRE!!!!

i <3 techno.
Ida was just pure sexy and the music was hot
Chris Liebing owned us
I saw 40 mins of G&B, not bad, very hot and packed in that tent. I saw a little bit of EDX and hardwell...don't remember much from them to be honest.
I jumped to Dubfire, I was walking by a dubstep tent and I was in shock for few secs. I had to start walking/running to get away from that pure shit.
Dubfire and Richie Hawtin owned me too. I couldn't stop moving at all. Left at 10.
Didn't know that AVB had fireworks, i didnt bother going there anyway.
My legs got destroyed on this day.
OH and lol @ people leaving rather quickly when Snoop came on.
