OH MY GOD, there's no words to describe the vibe the whole crowd and DJs had. Logistics to getting in was very well set-up took about 15 minutes to get in considering 15,000 people are attending this event. Security was so damn strict, they make you take off your shoes and show your pubic region. Thank God they let me take my camera in, I met so many people that told me that they had to coatcheck their cams.

This morning was my first time seeing Sander Van Doorn and I must say that he lives up to all my expectation, there will be a bright future for him. Played all the big tracks in the first hour like Black is the color, Aalto - 5, Control Freak, etc. 2nd-3rd hour was killer, he kept bringing the crowd up and dropping a sick beat. I was sooo fucked.

Armin Van Buuren came on at 4 and just controlled the crowd for the next 4 hours, it was like everyone was brainwashed by him, people clapping in uniform, jumping along with the beat, etc. AvB's crowd interaction is always nice, he came down to the crowd and start signing autographs and taking pictures.

Finally Above & Beyond what can I say about them? I've seen them three times and every time they seem to impress me, They started off with Air for Life and turned up the bass to max, the place went crazy. Moment of this set was when I yelled out 'play satellite!' and then I see Tony mouthing the words 'play satellite?' to Jono and next thing you know their playing it by my request, I love how they just add it in to their set. I know a lot of DJs have their sets planned or won't do request. I always enjoy watching them spin, their always so happy and get the crowd involved.

Overall best clubbing night, and one of the best nights of my life. I have never seen so many beautiful women in one area in my life, and same would apply with muscleheads, the carwash was in full effect last night. But I would definitely recommend everyone to go to Bal en Blanc such a wonderful experience.

Just got back from Montreal (driving) so have a good day guys and I will post up videos and pictures tonight.

Vince OUT!!!

You are correct. But go to his home, and you'll see him dressed like a woman.

People are so tired they're being rolled out in stretchers but still the vibe is amazing right now. Taking a quick stretching break to prep for PREACH. I swear this has been the best party of my life. More later...A&B just dropped Dangerous Power. CHOON!!! I'm dead now.


I hope you ate some snacks!

Oh man I can die happily right now.

Anyways, I wished Toronto would do something like this at the international center, ACC, or congress center, but we don't have that much of an EDM following? It seems that the people from Montreal are more into House music rather than trance, the house room was more packed and had a lot more decor.

In the process of uploading the opening sets for AvB, A&B, SvD.

Can someone upload Arctic Monkeys - Sun is coming down (Svd remix) and A higher state of consciousness (marco V remix) for me?

No. It's the city council that'll prevent anything like that from happening.

Heck, Toronto has street festivals every yr. (Caribbana, Pride Parade, Santa Claus Parade, etc) But can't have one for EDM b/c that'd only get people to get high on e and die.
