Review(third time)
ok, third time's the charm
I tried posting last night twice and it said there was an internal server error
anywho, the informality of the whole thing just took me by surprise. Casually walking into George Acosta on the bar was something rather nice(ok, so I'm still a huge acosta fan, so sue me) considering my thanksgiving day was crap. I was stood up twice, first on thursday, then again by that same person on friday so I tried to take my mind off that by playing a bit of Counter Strike(oh yeas, I got banned from both servers. they thought I was cheating. It's not my fault they don't know how to friggin dodge a mad rushing, shotgun carrying player. So much for trying to cheer my self up with that...)
total pump pwnage

some more pump pwnage

George Acosta

I was looking forward to his set, as well as Edgar V's. Thinking, ok, George was going to go hard ass, then Edgar would mellow out the nighit made it awkward. It was far from that. We started with Jimmy Van M. He played a kickass set. After a quick call to a friend, trying to figure out which DnB act would be the best to see, there's a song in the background playing(duh) My friend asks, who's playing that, and I read off of the timesheet, Jimmy Van M, to which my friend goes ballistic. Turns out he'll be playing in PR soon. go figure
So he finished his kickass set, then comes up Sandra Collins. She was ok i guess. Nothing impressive for me. Sorry S. Kinda breakbeatty at first then progressed through her time frame. Then comes the first of the two I was looking forward to seing, George. He opens with Raging. Not that I haven;t heard that quite a few times at Level, but it was a good start. As he dropped track after track, he came up to some remix of Silent Heart(which he's been playing for a while now) That made my night. That version is sooo bad ass. Other songs that hadn;t been listed he played were Ykooza - Cocaine(Dj Wag Remix) and Dj Sakin & Friends - Thunderbird. Heavy HEAVY songs. Arturo's reaction to Acosta was everytime he'd mix in a new song, in the particular way he does, with every new base line, Arturo just went nuts(not like when Edgar V, but at least he looked like he enjoyed himself)
the two tracks i was surprised he played were Punk and Taking Over Space(wag mix) Rather oldies there, but none the less, very well planned in his set. One thing I did notice, was he got eeeeveryone there going. Not Jimmy not Sandra got that sort of reaction from the crowd. Very nice set. Than came the surprise of my night. Edgar V!! And yes, I remember the guy laying on the floor. I bumped into him a few times. oops, didn;t see you with all these people arround me dancing duhhhh. Not a good place to try to chill out on whatever he was on. he did have a certain facination for trying to be creative with anything he could get his hands on(glow sticks, beach balls), and the worse part, not being very nice about it. E-tard, or whatever, next time, watch it, or Fox just might step on ya when a good track is dropped 
After George played, we stayed for a bit to catch some of Tall Paul's set. Don't you just hate it when you're way into a set and then, out of the blue, the needle skips Paul looked pissed off, but quickly regained control of the set. Very cool indeed(I would have probably freaked out or something jeje)
So, we get to the Egipt venue, where Edgar is about to start. The fact that 1 i was expecting a chillout set by edgar and 2 I had no clue track-wise on what edgar played and 3 he was even louder than George made his set quite impressive. I had heard Edgar play a few times at Space, but this has to be the best set I've probably heard in a while. Plus the fact that I finally got to meet Fox and Jay(after 2 years, 3 maybe?) made the night just incredible
Flo, I hope you enjoyed your birthday

Armin at maze? I'm there
