alright, time for a better review :P
Was one of the first ppl arriving at circa after going to dinner @ Steak on richmond...which is nowhere as good The Bifteque was when I went there 3 years ago...shoulda gone to Ruth's chris!
Being my first time at circa, I was anxious to see the place. We got in the ballroom in no time. The place is well sized, minimal lighting and pretty good sound (when you are in the middle)
Nittin was playing some chill minimal which I quite enjoyed. Good way to relax before the madness. I wandered around a bit while he was playing. They had some band playing in the main room, lupe fiasco or something the like. Even tho it wasnt my cup of tea, it was pretty good. People down there were eatin it and it was full (11pm!)
Wandered more with Cribby and in the washroom bad, some chick g'd out or whatnot..and of course the bouncer was pretty small and was having troubles bringing her out of there....ended up picking her like a bag of potatoes and off he went. pretty funny in a way!
with all the nooks and crannies in Circa, it must be a nightmare to manage people! wouldnt want to be down there on a top40 night!
Back to the ballroom, Metalogic/Kidd were playing some good techno tunes. had the crowd going hard at times..then went off in tangents. I found their set to be up and down. The place took a while to fill up!
Mull started playing at around 1-130 if I recall right. As cribby said, the first 20 mins were ok, and then he went full on to prep up for Beyer. They started using the light system when he was playing. Those are definite seizure machines! It was too intense and i was sober! I ended up dancing facing away from the front from a while. Lots of pple were complaining about the lights! Then they finally toned it down. Note to self for the future, bring sunglasses to Circa! Mull played for 1hour or so, then it was Beyer.
Beyer, was uhmmm....sick! he was banging and relentless from the moment he started till i left...i expect he was the same till the end!
I wish he'd play some his tunes like A,B,C,D, Bangbop, puckelbop..
Overall, I liked the ballroom's dark feeling for a techno night (minus the lighting at one point). The sound system was pretty darn good in the middle, other areas....it was average. Didn't have to use my plugs at all  However, the room certainly didn't have the vibe Footwork has on Platform nights. Red bull's were not overpriced like most places!
Thanks to everyone for the bday wishes. Alex, we want details about the other DJ for Halloween.
Were Mull/Beyer's sets recorded??
