oh my god man, sorry to hear about that!! that sucks!! glad to hear some ppl were looking out for you and you are ok!! very true, be very careful with your drinks!! this applies to anywhere you go!

Sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to my friend last summer at Spundae.

EDM is not a trend, it's a lifestyle. You either get it or you don't.

I too was disappointed by AVB's set... oh well,can't be great all the time I guess. I liked ATB's set alot better and it seemed more people were into it too. Lets not forget Cody Lee, he rocked as usual.
4:score did a pretty good job upstairs as well as the DJs in the back room.
I couldn't get into the music like I usually do. Must have been cuz it was really packed & way too hot.

As for the afterparty... well I sure made up for it there! Place was much cooler, the music was really good and I sure danced my booty off! I gotta say that GIL tore it up! His set was something I was needing all night!

Even better: Like me, don't drink!

Anyway, I flew back from San Francisco (awesome time at EDT Love, but that's for another thread) just in time to make a surprise appearance for the last hour of the Official After Party

Between all the people dressed in white and the sun, sunglasses were in order (sorry about that, LaLaGirl ). Maybe that's why I found the venue too dark and stripped down (e.g., someone pointed out the lack of seats). At least the sound was good. The patio outside was the best part; really nice place to socialize with friends

So it sounds like Armin played his usual business set (though I was told that he sucked much less than Thursday in Newport). I don't understand why people seem surprised by that! He's here every 3 months and always plays Aramada material; more Coldharbour/EE than Armind/ASOT; i.e. boring (I bet he didn't even play Arisen which is being released next week). So yes, if you listen to his radio show, don't expect anything much different in his live shows

As for ATB, it sounds like the same as last time in terms of great tracks and no real mixing. At least he didn't MC himself this time from what I heard

Oh and yeah, bummer about Menno, especially for Starboy and Stargirl

I'm curious too, since it was only a little over 2 months ago that she wrote on the Spundae boards that she would "gladly challenge ANY DAY OF THE WEEK, Armin, PVD, Ferry and others"...

I'm going to have to disagree with you, since it seems like you're ignorant of AvB's 'usual' Before he started touring, and would do shows in LA/SD, his sets were 3hr + , and he would rock the house, NOTHING like ASOT.

Can you explain what you mean by "before he started touring"

2-3yrs ago when he wasn't nearly as big here in cali as he is now, he used to spin 3-4+ hr plus sets. Where his sets and tracks would progress to his different tastes. Now its just...a live version of ASOT it seems, which ok, but when he had more time in the past, he was much better live than he is now.

Maybe someone can chime in that has seen him live before then.

Good set.

It was a great night at Spundae, I thought Armin and ATB were the perfect combo. 4 hours of headliner insanity. Loved the extra production for the White theme.
Cody and I had a lot of fun warming up the floor. It was great to play back to back with Cody again. I looove his energy behind the decks and he knows exactly how to warm a room up with the right tunes.
Armin's energy is infectious, not many can deny that. He loves playing and it shows. As soon as he went on the room lit up like crazy, everything just moved up a notch.
I love that he is technically on point every set (I've seen countless). He is still one of the most consistent DJs as far as that goes imo
ATB also had great energy once again, he loves the tunes he's playing and he really knows how to take the crowd through a spectrum of trance ranging from the later 90's - current also weaving in his massive anthem hits (don't lie, you know you all used to like 9pm Til I come and Don't Stop ) He knows what the crowd wants to hear and he plays it. Not only does he play it but he is always moving and always smiling. He signed a ridiculous amount of autographs while he was playing, everything from $100 bills to cell phones to watches to napkins to drivers licenses' to vinyls...

Armin and ATB bring all sorts of people out of the woodwork. It was nice to see so many new faces.

It was a loooong night, but overall an amazing time. I hope everyone else had a good time, and I'm really sorry to hear about the guy who was drugged (slkvin sp?) That is horrible! Didn't you come with friends?? Glad to know that you are okay though.. I hope it won't keep you away from clubbing and only makes you more careful!

I defintely hope this event happens yearly from now on. It's been a delayed reaction on the part of L.A. promoters to not get an idea like this into effect years ago, but thank god Spundae stepped up and made it happen.
It may not be "sensation white", but it was our own mini version and a 4000 person white party is not a bad start
