Talking ta's = one big family?

What a great night. I thought AVB was incredible, great track selection, wow. But the story of the night goes to the TA's. HANDS DOWN! I met over 15+ TA's if not more. Wearing that shirt got me into a lot of trouble! hah I can't even begin to think of names!

Armada, the nametage thing was brilliant. Blue_neon you made the night man, non-stop dancing. Grafal, it was a good night man! SOo many others I can't even begin to mention. The boys with Trance_extasy were kick ass.

It was nice to party with Swamper again! Right on man!

Jon

My god, what a night! That had to be one of the best nights in my life. Firstly, I finally met so many TAs last night, at other events I managed to only run into a few here and there. This was not the case last night, it seemed that no matter where I turned, there was a TA lurking around the corner. I won't even bother naming all of you guys, because there are too many of you. However, you know who you are and it was great running into you and chatting. Moreover, I FINALLY got a chance to meet Swamper. Nice seeing you buddy and once again thanks for this haven you have created for us.

Secondly, I was extremly impressed with the job Sonic State has done in creating this party. There was just the right amount of people
present. The place was not too crowded so there was plenty of room to dance, but on the same note there were enough people to create that great feeling of unison and togetherness. The place was well ventilated, so it never got too hot, and we got to avoid a condensation shower. The sound system was just at the right level, with a well controlled bass, so that it did not over power the mids and highs. And, the decor was very intimate and exuberant. I really liked the addition of the free fruits, it was a nice touch.

Finally, the music of the night was just pure rapture. I have never listed to Orkidea so I was not too sure what to expect. To my surprise, he was awesome! He played a very energetic set, which included some nice epic tracks. Even the tech/progressive tracks were a nice welcome, and a touch of variety. Now to get to the man himself, words can not describe the feelings AVB envoked in me last night. He was absolutely ecstatic, taking me on a beautiful journey which was extremly transcendental. I would just close my eyes and loose myself "in the moment". He gave me an experience which will be ingrained in my heart for a long time to come.

Lastly, a moment which was extremely impressionable to me occured at the end of the party when people were taking pics with AVB. I told him how his music really resonates with others and touches their souls, how he has a strong following here, and is really admired by many. To that he responded with a big smile, shook my hand, and thanked me with genuine humbleness.

Talking OMG

Last night was sick. I met so many of you guys, I cant even begin to start naming names. I thought I was gonna cry when Armin dropped Marco V - Simulated and Urban Train. That was just too much for me. I got my ticket signed by Armin right when I had to go last night, can u belive they spelled his name wrong on the tickets?! it fucking says "Armis van Buren". LOL, i wake up and look at my ticket and I am like why the fuck did he put that "n" there? LOL, he fucking corrected his own name on the ticket..lol, i found that funny. The laser and all the fucking lights were awesome. Tranceaddicts were out in full force and it was just awesome, I cant wait for the next big party!!!
shouts out to blue_neon,halo,misiek,stereo princess,trancearmada,tranner,swamper,trance ecstasy, and everyone else that made that party as good as it was...

peace

Orkidea showed us why he had the headlining time slot last night. Pure class from that man. I really enjoy his style of trance...not to slow...not to fast...just right

Armin reminded me so much of Tiesto. The way he would raise his right arm up, telling the crowd to go nuts...the way he would smile...just like Tiesto. It seemed as if he didn't like those vestex decks too much though.

All in all a great night. Props go out to the Sonic State crew for another production well done. I just love parties done by SS because you know you'll be getting the best sound, music and decorations from them.

Again, good to see everyone out...until next time.
Peace,
Steve


Viceroy, where da hell where u man? i pm u da day b4 so we cud meet up and i can give u da niCk WarRen poster

WOW What an unbelievable night, i had a time of my life. Orkidea was amazing but for me AVB absolutely stole the show, he blew my fooking mind, i loved the way he got in to the crowd with his hands in the air and a big smile on his face, HE WAS LOVIN IT, and thats awsome. I came close to the dj booth, stuck out my arm and Armin, with a big smile on his face shook my hand and gave me a thumbs up, that was great!!!!!!, then i managed to get his autogragh
on a peace of paper...................Damn what a night.

It was great to meet all the fellow TA's, Halo20, KevinExite, Trancemanda, stereoprincess, Fir3start3r, Blue_neon, Boy trance, Arctic boy and the MAN himself Swamper, i forgot the rest of the names, there were soooo many, it was fantastic. I hope u guys enjoyed all the light shows that me and my little brother gave (mostly my little bro).

State 01 did an absolutely amazing job, the club had just enough ppl, so there was still room to dance, it wasn't hot at all and the free fruit was awsome, the sound system was also perfect, not too loud to leave u deaf for the next 3 days but just perfect.

Overall the night was absolutely superb, 12/10

Anyways i'm autta here.

Lates

P.S. Arctic boy, you crazy, i love you man, HAHAHAHAHA

Those two guys were MANDRICK_V and JAY getting readdy fot Orkidea and Van Buuren......anyway Jay almost passed out around 5 o'cklock from overtiredness, as for me I had a good practice in GUV and Koolhaus when Ferry, Tijs and Paul were spinning.

Well, Unbelievable, Awesome, Amazing, COOL, NICE, etc. Orkidea ripped the roof off, I could feel the difference right away when he took the turntables over from Ian. Lots off new stuff were spinned, and I loved it, I'd like to get those sets ASP.
As for me Armin were spinning more uplifting (my style) then progressive so I liked it more, but Orkidea was really good.

U guys noticed already Buuren reminded us of Tiesto, and especially it was that PURE EUROPIAN SMILE, the real smile, not fake as u come to any store in Canada or US and sales people smiling at you. I missed that SMILE, and on Tiesto and Armin i brought the reality back to me.

I satayed till the very end, was talking to TREANCEARMADA (he got pic with Armin,lol), met ArticBoy, and many others TA's. Nice to meet ya guys. I was actually surprised, most of the TA's are Asians. I didn't expect that at all....When did it happned after the rave in Japan? That is good trance becomes worldwide music, Hip Hop will duy in 15 years, everybody say that. Only the classic songs will be on, the rest will go to deep sleep with N'stink, BackDoor Boys and Brietny Spears who make the little kids purvards. If those little kids would see the SMILE of Armin they would understand what is innocent and good for them. Bla bla bla, we can talk about it for ages.

Thanks to the nice crowd accept some people, IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

Props out to State for creating a great vibe and party and keeping their reputation for great parties...

Music wise it was good... It was a shame Billy Nasty was in the side room because he pumped out some quality tracks. Orki dea's set was phenomenal... I really like that guy.
As for Armin I thought that his set was gonna be insane after hearing Simulated the first track, but it seemed like he would play a progressive track then drop epic shit in there.... I only seemed to be dancing to the progressive stuff...

Cool meeting all the ta family again... Props to the "TA AMBASSADOR" Trancearmada.

So far this year PVD imo has had the best set... Please dont start a posting war over this comment

Im out

Welp
It was a great party
I went there mainly for Orkidea (I was very impressed with his set at Wintergalactic last year) and he surely didn't dissapoint me.
It's too bad he didn't drop his last track that he spun last year... It would have rocked the crowd upsidedown.

Armin played his usual stuff... I was really happy he played communication... It's like one of his best productions...

Overall, I think Orkidea was the headliner...
Great meeting so many TA's... There were alot more here than at Tiesto...

My throat is v. sore now so I guess I'll ttyl...

- One con about this party was the layout of the stage... I would rather have it setup like Wintergalactic, where the dance stage was open till the end of 'The Docks'... They sepearted the last room... And the DJ stage was like in front... Yet... V. good idea having the backstage thing...



Overall great party...
Sonicstate always puts on good shows...
The best 2 raves I've been to were Wintergalactic and State...

I wish I could have made it to the party in Niagra a few months ago at the Niagra Convention Centre...
I hear there was a great party there...

Shouts out to nrg, articboy, swamper, smacks, richie, red, bah whatever... all TA's
