Labour of Love was a somewhat let-down for me.

Mark Oliver - Man this guy knows his crowd, never dissapoints. At Above & Beyond he
hyped everyone up playing an amazing set and he did it again at LoL.

Markus Schultz - Great 30 min set in my opinion, w/e he did after just plain sucked ass.
He tried to save it with Adrenaline and Satelite, but most of his tracks were just lulled out and boring. Sorry guys wasnt feeling it at all...

Grayarea - Not my style but began to enjoy them after a while. I really think it was Markus's fault that these guys really
didn't get much attention, almost everyone went to check out Digweed @ The Guvernment. Big mistake...guv was packed
to the max so I just went back to the KoolHaus.

Blank & Jones - These guys are pure energy! Loved every minute of thier set. They made my night more than anyone else,
even Armin. MR.BRIGHTSIDE was wikked, I couldnt see anyone who was not enjoying that moment.

Armin Van Buuren - A great and entertaining set. Loved some of the classics he played and the tracks from his Shivers CD.
No Viola though...but Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar was quite a nice treat, too bad I missed that lol..

Went home @ 7:30 am, was fucking tired and soaked from sweating. I think I must have downed 10 bottles of water that whole night.

Musical Highlights(no dj order):

>Zocalo (what a tune!)
>Speed of Sound (what remix was that?)
>Air for Life
>Dogzilla - Without You (2X)
>Scott Mac - Damager 02 (Mac Zimms Remix) Did anyone else fucking lose thier minds to this song!!! wow hearing it live was increadible!
>Shivers
>Adrenaline
>Perfect Silence
>Mr Brightside (thank you B&J)

All these songs put a huge smile on my face, I loved it

Things that really pissed me off:

-people who like to cut infront of you right when the build is happeneing and you have no goddam choice but to stand and do nothing instead of dance and enjoty the song!!
-THE B.O!!!
-The built guys who cut infront of everyone when Armin was playing!!!
-cracked out Asians


I think overall I would not attend one of these "All Access" type of events again just because its too disorganized; they let way too many people in.

6.5/10

EDIT: Forgot to mention some of the TA's I met

endlesswave - nice talking to you man, your advice was great! Made so much sence

MaxTO - nice to see you again

Orko - Caught up with you during Armin's set i think.

Tracey and bf - Sorry to hear about your night, but thanks for saying hi! Nice to finally meet you two!

oooooh this thread is making me want to kick myself for not going to this event

I'm particularly upset about missing some of my fave tracks like
Dogzilla - without you, Adrenaline, and that I can't believe I missed that Not Another Suburban Train finale(kick!)


I vow to myself never to miss Armin in town again..
Fahad, I feel guilty for not being there as I have a feeling that together we could get our way and get Ridgewalkers to end up on Armin's turntable!

Hello all,

I rarely post here, but meeting bunch of TAs for the first time last night, just wanted to say it was really great meet you all. Few I can recall is tiestoforlife and Wayne. Wayne, it was really fun hanging out, and thanks to you I had a really good time in the latter part of the night. You got my busniess card, so keep in touch man!

I took John's advice and got there a bit early around 10:15, and got inside in about 20 minutes. However, I was quite amazed how friends who got to the line 30 minutes after I did had to wait 2 hours to get in!

I actually felt sorry for the people who had to miss Markus Schulz waiting in line. I personally went to LoL to see this guy and he did not disappoint. I do agree his mixing wasn't silky smooth, but the vibe and the energy was incredible. Grayarea kind of killed that energy (at least i think), but B&G and AVB more than made up for it.

One note for guvernment: I think it was really great they put up the set times on the projectors, and they should keep doing this. (although it was next to impossible to move to the next room!)

cheers!

Shawn.

Just got home a few hours ago... ill post a review to come soon.

armin is my god.

being with everyone dancing and meeting more new TA faces were most the highlights of my night.

i love TAs and the vibe they carry. a million friends in a million places (in the club)

-jem-

*hugs* and *breasthugs* for ALL!!!!!!!!!!

One observation I made last night... the special event security staff (not the regular dumasses in guv) were very pleasant and treated everyone (from what I saw anyway) with respect. It was nice not being told to "get the fuck out" after Armin closed KH.

Im with you on that one

First of all.. for fucks sakes its pretty disrespectful to spell "Markus Schulz" wrong on the flyer, the website, and the schedule screens lol.. but whatever, the people who did that are obviously retarded...

Secondly, the look of kool haus was shit, decadence was way better (and the dj stage on the opposite side was better IMO), im pretty sure if you bring a big name like this at least make the place look a bit nicer when you're capable of it..

I didn't really have a problem with overcrowdness in the Kool Haus, I still had room to dance, even up at front

Katana - Play It Loud & Greece 2000 (Mark Norman Remix) <-- absolutely lost it to these ones and yeah Damager 02 was off the hook!

Armin never dissapoints.. hands down the #1 DJ in the world, cool guy too You can tell he absolutely loves playing in Toronto. Overall great party, as you would expect from a lineup like this

The only sad part is we have to wait another 6 months to see him again

sometimes he comes 3 times a year so hopefully he will make a return sooner.. otherwise i'll need to save up and go see Armin elsewhere to get my fix

ok so after reading carefully through 14 pages of posts there really isnt much to add, but i'l do a short review anyway...

Got to the club at around 11pm and saw the MASSIVE line-up, thinking OH shit we're never getting in. Luckily we met up with some of our friends who were right near the front and got in within 20 mins.

Inside: The club was packed beyond capacity! Im sure there was well over 7000+ ppl in there, but we didnt let that ruin our mood. We chilled in the Drink and d'lux for a bit before hitting the koolhaus. Spent the rest of the night in the Koolhuas and tent/smoking area.

SHOUT OUTS: Everytime i go out to one of these events i always tell myself im going to meet TA's yet i never do. However last night was completly different. i was celebrating my pre-bday party and what an AMAZING night thx to all of you. In particular thanks to VERTIGO who made an effort to introduce me to all the TA's in the Koolhaus dancefloor... Martin, StereoPrincess,Endgame, laura, dan, Cuzo and a bunch of others i dont remember all of ur names but i know ur faces were familiar from NATS bbq. Also big thx to KARIM. ( u saved my night buddy) Just in case your wondering i was the guy with blonde hair about 6ft wearing a pink button shirt and shades.

Music: spent most of the night in the Koolhaus, Blank and Jones were absolutly amazing. Arming was good as usual, i must say i enjoyed his set in march alot more.

Highlight: Armin comes on the decks. Scans the crowd. Im waving my hands up in the air, he points straight at me and says " i remember you" i was like Whaat???!? did he really remember me from Decadence back in april. Also another highlight was when the bouncer let one of my g/f, who was also celebrating her bday, up on stage to dance alongside the go-go girls. We took many pictures and hopefully i will get a chance to post them soon.

THANK YOU ALL FOR AN AMAZING NIGHT and i look forward to partying with you in the future.
