Took forever to get to NYC from Philly, but once I got to the Sunday School tent & met so many NYTA's, it was all worth it... Can't remember many names, but these were ppl off the top of my head I saw at Audion.

robdawg, coolestrl, tubularbills, hellosam, online poker pal phrequency frank, kadomony and a dozen other people...ran into other TA's later on like Zack & Kerrine. Sorry I didn't see jonnypmo - haven't seen him in ages.

I was very excited for Audion, but I was too distracted by the meet up to get into it. But I'm one of those people who has to focus completely on the music to enjoy it.

I bounced around for a while not enjoying myself at all...Adam Beyer, Tom Middleton and I even tried Steve Angello, but the main stage was too crowded for me to enjoy anything.

I ended up right up front at Desyn Masiello with kadomony (Sam) & Luke (hey, I can't remember his TA name). That is when the festival clicked for me. Being right up front to hear the music made the difference in the world. Desyn threw down a DnB set, which blew my mind and had a blast dancing. Sam was track spotting for me, which made it even more fun.

(Btw, Luke. Who was the girl talking to you? She was cute and obviously was into you. Did you get her number?)

Because I was up front for Desyn, I decided to continue with being up front. I stayed for Nathan Fake's set - extreme intense, driving and relentless music. I've always wanted to hear him spin and he did not disappoint. The only annoyance were the constant cameras blocking my view.

I was crushed up front during James Holden. A woman kept leaning against me while she took meandering video of the Holden (It was weird, she kept turning around and around, so her video is probably going to suck). I didn't tell her to stop because she seemed nice enough (if a guy did that, i'd tell him to quit it). Eventually, I got tired of not being able to dance and ended up sitting down and having dinner for the rest of his set.

To close, I managed to slip into a spot where I had a perfect view of Richie Hawtin. I wasn't right up front, but pretty damned close. I had a completely unobstructed view of him spinning. He was doing peak hour techno & I completely died by the music. It was really emotional for me...I kept screaming and saying "omigod." Some guy was trying to chat me up next to me & I was like, "uhh, please leave me alone."

I did try to listen to David Guetta because I was curious. He was playing some song that repeated his name over & over and something about getting your butt in the air. That put me off immediately so I ran for the hills.

Would have liked to have seen Ferry, but I did get my trance on at the Love afterparty. I saw Big Mike spin for a while and had a great time to Marcus Schossow. Listening to trance at Love where it wasn't packed and the crowd really loved the music reminded me how trance is so great. Love is such an amazing venue. Wish we had a place like that in Philly.

Fucking amazing day people. Sorry I didn't get to see more of you.

Will post up pics on Facebook later and link you to them...

aite review for day number 2

started off getting there right in time for jerome...really good proggy set i was deff enjoying it, even tho he mostly played his own stuff but it still was not bad...towards the end the vibe from the crowd was just unreal, between the circle we had going and everyone danceing...to hollywood makeing an apperience and just getting everyone pumped, and everyone else just feeling the music deff one of the highlights of the day

menno came on and for the most part i wassent really too impressed with his set, i was expecting some more uplifting and melodic trance, but he had an early set so he had to keep it down a lil bit
but southern sun wow simply amazing

went to the ta meetup, that was deff a zoo within itself
were all a bunch of characters ha ha ha but yea it was deff fun chilling and meeting everyone

next up i heard 30 min of angello and he was not bad
then went back over to the sunday school tent and caught the last 20 min of beyer HOLY SHIT guy was dropping heat i wish i would have heard more of his set

next on was markus, even tho he had equitment problems in the begining he still managed to deliver a great set...even tho again it was mostly his own tracks,remixes,edit...the flow and programming was very enjoyable he is a great technical dj and his set was prob my fav from the main stage of the day

ferry came on and i dunno i know people on here love him, but iam just gettin old i guess and i just have no desire to hear his own songs for the whole night so i left

calderone all i have to say is LAWD HAVE MERCYYYYYYYYYYYY
guy was fukin droping bombsssssss, and the vibe was just threw the roof he had the crowd by the balls, that was prob my fav set from the sunday school tent from sunday that i heard, guy was just straight up relentless and iam glad to see him starting to play for more techno based dj's and booked a venue this crazy, cause he seriously deserves it

hawtin started off madd weird, like the first 5 min was just noise then he brought in the kick and the bassline and percusion i stayed for a few it was ok but then i left and went over the riverside...but on my way out i stopped in for a min and hawtin picked it up a lil bit

atb was atb at pacha a few trance songs, lots of vocals and his own stuff it was an ok set

i honestly enjoyed sat more i felt the crowd was alot better, more of a good vibe and the music was also better imo
minus a few douchebag people it was still an enjoyable day
shoutouts to all the ta's i was just hanging with all day and just trooping from differnt dj to differnt dj
glad to see this event was great, lots of diff people all coming together to just have a good day and be outdoors and listen to some beats

i hope this event was a sucess and i will deff be back next year if it was
again thanks everyone these past 2 days were simply euphoric

I'm Luke I didn't get the girl's # but got her Facebook info... she is from the Boston area unfortunately but I told her if she's ever in town to let me know and we can go to a show together. Glad you had a great time and it was a pleasure getting to meet you!

All My Mixes!

stayed at the main stage through out. really nice lineup started listening when Steve Angello went on. good variety of beats. been a while since i've seen ferry and just loved it ! he brought the old school at the end.


I am seriously fed up with some of the guetta songs cuz they replay them 10 millions times on the radio but I gotta say listening to them live makes the listening trend refresh back to zero. David Guetta turned the whole place upside down. fucking dirty bastard.

dirty dirty bastard !

Haha, Luke...glad I know who you are on TA now. Too bad the girl lives in Boston - I think you should make a visit up there. Lots of great music there - ask hellosam, she'll tell you.

P.S. You should come visit Philly too - Sam and I could show you around.

Most GODDAMN EPIC Moment of MY LIFE!

This review is the most important - the rest can wait.

Audion was his usual.. Deep, Dark, Sexy, Psychopathic.

During his last song he plays this loud noisey/bassy song for just over a minute. The song begins to build and build and the crowd is going CRAZY! Hands are in the air, people are screaming wanting this song to just break already!!

***silence***

Audion turns off the music and people just get even more crazy thinking this is all hype for him to turn back this crazy song.

Nope.

Audion blows a kiss to the crowd and walks away.

THE BIGGEST dick tease of-my-life. I think everyone walked away with a bad case of blue balls. I can not believe he teased the crowd like that. sooooo nasty. He even finished his set 5 mins earlier, FFS!

omg it was so delish. I got it all on video. Sorry for the super shaky start but I beg you all to watch this and imagine if a dj lowers the volume to rile the crowd up and never turns it back on. o-man. I love u Mr Dear. You complete mind fuk.

lol, don't know I missed the thread... thanks GHboy

I got there at 630 because it took me forever to get from hempstead to that god damn ferry. I am driving next year. fuck the frail shit.

But anyway, I got there in time to catch an hour of Schulz, he was dope, banged out, etc.

Ferry came on and tore the place to shreds imo. He really looked like he was having a great time too, bouncing and smiling. It was sick. He played a ton of sick tracks, I have to say my fave of the night was probably L.E.F. at the end (im a sucker for it)

But for me.. my highlight of day 2, which made the whole fucking process of getting to Randall's Island all worth it, was richie hawtin. I've been listening to techno or minimal or whatever for i dunno, a year and a half? And what I expected to hear and what he played were just so diff. Richie was absolutely relentless. He banged out so hard!! He spun harder than anyone I've heard in a long long time. It was just thumping bass and cracky noises and ill effects the whole freakin time. A friend of mine who was taking photos on stage said that rich had a guitar pedal hooked into his mixer. How ill is that.. He definitely stole the show for me.

after party at love was great. I left around 3, but like... schossow was spinning pretty damn hard himself. And the fact that a certain 6'6" individual was hangin out was cool too.

Overall, great day great evening. Great 2 days. Great weekend!!! I cannot wait for next year. Made Event cleaned up at this thing.

hoo man, havent been to something like this in years.

who i saw:
Jason Jollins - nice warmup set to groove to and meet some people. seemed like the riverside tent had some problems with the high-mids.
but that's just me being an audiophile.

Chateau Flight, Lindstrom, Prins Thomas - pretty cool, nice funky stuff. After the reviews of Menno, though and hearing his podcast after EZ, I probably would've liked to see him.
Prins Thomas was actually playing some real 80s vinyl!
He dropped this:


Which was awesome cause I knew Ferry was gonna play We Belong later

Lindstrom wasn't really keeping the energy, so I had no problem heading to the TA meetup at 4. Good seein everyone


Headed to Frankie Knuckles and Love Affair after the TA meetup. Reallllly nice! Funky kinda energetic classic melodic house. Met Tom Middleton over there too. Nice guy

Then headed to see OMG DESYN!
He started off playing some stuff in his usual style, then kicked it over to D&B for the rest of his set.
I got a chance to talk to him afterwards; he said "everyone is doing 4/4 house here and expecting it, so i decided to switch it up"
hey good on him for goin with something creative

After Desyn, took a break, got a drink and walked around for a bit.

Headed over to Ferry \o/
Caught the last tracks of Markus and then all of Ferry.

After Ferry, I wandered between Hawtin (eh not my style anymore), ATB (actually playing some really good trance, stayed there for a bit), then ultimately ended up @ James Murphy and Pat Mahoney.

This was awesome, as they were playing classic disco

Stayed there til about 10:30 and bounced out.

As for an afterparty, it was some messy combination of heading over to my friend's dorm @ NYU, meeting some other people, going to another dorm, starting to drink, getting busted by the RA (they were all under 21 ), leaving, wandering around for 2 fucking hours while this d-bag hipster kid tried to figure out what he was doing, getting pissed at him and leaving, buying seme crappy "wine product" (wtf is that), realizing we didnt have a corkscrew, going to walgreens to get one, contemplating drinking at union square park, going back to the 1st dorm and drinking there while room raving to menno's podcast.

Pics and vids later
