Originally posted by Pantone199c He doesn't like the uplifting sound, actually he hates it. See I would love to think that PVD plays consistently the way you are saying Carpe, but I just can't. To be fair though the guy doesn't play Trance anyway, here's a quote of his "To be honest, I don’t call my music trance music, I call it electronic music and it’s usually danceable." Which is great for him now because what is being labeled Trance music is just really electronic dance music. I do know someone on this forum that went to PVD on NYE and he said it was good but definitely not as good as some make it to be. Now when I saw PVD at Mansion in the fall of 2011 he blew me the fuck away. In fact it was a double header weekend, PVD played Friday and Armin played Saturday. PVD played a super trance set that night, while Armin was already beginning the cheeser that he is today. Lastly, the way I see things (for me at least) is we live in Miami. Outside of conference you rarely, and by rarely I mean not at all, see Solarstone, Giuseppe, Kearney, Orkidea, and Kristina Sky. Unless you travel to shows extensively your trance selection in Miami is generally the same dj's year in and year out like Markus and a few others. PVD plays in Miami at least once or twice outside of conference, but again man its your money and your decision. You gotta be selfish in these situations because only you knows what will get you going at a party. If you loved PVD go there, you probably won't be disappointed.

The only thing is, though, would you say that seeing Kearney and Ottaviani twice in one week would be worth it? Since I'm already going to Global Connection.

Haha, do what makes you happy! I've never seen Kearney and Ottaviani always throws down, so in my opinion I wouldn't have that problem, but if you feel like your missing out on something else go for it. I would be at Pure Trance myself if it wasn't for the fact that it was going on at the same time as ENTER and its lineup is way to monstrous to pass up.

This.

With PVD, you at least have a POTENTIALLY phenomenal trance show. I mean, Pantone is right that I detest over-vocalized, sugary sappy uplifiting trance (I do enjoy some uplifting trance that's a little more subtle or techy) but if PvD plays anything like how he did at Governor's Island in NYC last summer (look up the vids) then you're in for something that you just can't get at Pure Trance.

Plus if PVD does suck, or surprise surprise you wanna keep the tunes and partying rolling right along, then you have the terrace and some of the best chilled out deep house DJs in the game with the Diynamic guys. Legendary banging techno will be happening courtesy of CLR in the Techno Loft. This is a no brainer. That night at Space is at worst the 2nd best party of the entire week, when you add up all the rooms and the diversity of sounds. If you're just 100% a trance guy though, then it makes sense to do Pure Trance for the aforementioned reasons by Pantone. Not gonna see those DJs too often outside of WMC.

Yss do pure trance or w/e makes you happy.

go to space friday night - except at 5am on the terrace to catch the diynamic crew tear the club a new one. you'll be in for a treat .

my 2 cents:


PvD was always lacking for me...then i went 2-3 years without seeing him. Saw him last month- phenomenal and wonderful trance. So i have very high hopes. I think itll be similar (if not exactly the same- re: teaser for miami)

That said, Pure Trance is NEVER a let down. And sadly, Kristina is my top on the list, but shes not on the yacht- only playing friday night.


SO...what am i doing? (I have tickets for everything just in case tho! LOL)


Kristina has a pool party Thurs, and a free party wed night....so im doing those, and going to PvD. Then trying to make it to pure trance yacht.


This way I get pure trance, kristina....ANNND a long ass PvD set.


On paper...looks great.


Well see where reality takes my old Ass....

OOOO


and to this i would say- GO will probably play a different set for GC due to the company he is keeping here...140 harder darker mingled with his own vocals....


Pure Trance will be slower uplitfing stuff to keep a nice neighbor residency on the Pure Trance line

This thread is funny.


Here's my vote:

Pure Trance until 3am or so, then beat the crowd to space to catch the last couple hours of PVD and enjoy the terrace into the morning. Although, with this option you might miss out on Solarstone, my personal favorite trance dj.


Better option:
Pure Trance until 3am or so and then expand your horizons by walking into the madness that will be ENTER. Rest on saturday and then hop aboard the PVD yacht.. Boat parties ftw during wmc, and PVD is playing a long set there, too. This will give you the best of all worlds, imo.

Ahhhh, decisions, decisions! I would love to attend one of the yatch parties on Saturday to compensate, but I will be going to Ultra that day.

Went to the Pure Trance last year, will probably go to space this year.
At least you have multiple rooms and you can change if the music is not good inside.

What stages are you going to at Ultra? I'm going to be going that day as well.
