I thought Insomniac did a great job on the setup/decorations. Mazes were fun. No line issues. Pretty much walked in. Enjoyed Tritonal's set. Absolutely loved Bobina. No idea what people see in Dash Berlin but the room was packed for his set. I mean I actually like rainbows and unicorns but Dash Berlin is just too much.

Originally posted by DaveT I thought Afrojack had great energy, but he got on the mic too much and full of tracks I can easily hear on the radio. The new gen of DJs have no creativity on their programming. It's almost as if programming has been dumbed down because the crowds lack true EDM intelligence (they are fed what's popular and do nothing to explore on their own to find their own tastes). It's a shame EDM has come to this.

Originally posted by Quazar Transitions are also not important anymore. Because the scene has become so producer-heavy, it's just track-to-track DJing while using effects. The art of blending from one song into another song is fading away. To me that's the most depressing part.

my feelings too.

I guess us "old timers" will just have to see other old timer djs.

oh and did it seem there were more costumes than normal "rave" attire(for girls that is...less pasties and such)?

I was expecting less clothing but there was more. I guess Halloween requires clothes.

Originally posted by omega1n That stage was rocking all night! Does suck that it was very empty though, pretty sad... I was very impressed by Cassy.

Same I absolutely loved Cassy, she just had this aura of happiness around her the entire time spinning.
BUT MARCO!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Melted my brain.... I need to know what that 3rd to last track was that he played.

I thought to myself... Dash Berlin is very brave to throw down this track. I saw people visibly upset this song was remixed... few people even left.

Originally posted by DaveT The worst mixing I heard all night was Dash Berlin. BTW, anyone see the crowd go to the Haunted Hospital IN MASS to see him? Damn thing was like 20% full when Moguai (who I thought had a real good set) came on for his hour set, and by the time he was done I was being f'n CRUSHED. Then DB started off with his cheese and had the worst wreck I've heard in a long time right on his first transition. then his second one sucked. then it didn't stop so we left (which was an event in itself as people were still trying to enter in mass when there was no more room in the place). Not a fan of DB's DJing skills.

Yeah I saw massive amounts of people floating over to that room when he stated spinning. I was outside when he started missed like 20 minuets of his set but if I were to hear them mess up as you describe I would have definitely left as well, but all I can say is that he had the crowd screaming by the end of his set. That room was a cluster fuck of people at the entrance... the left of the room was completely empty nice and comfortable no one to push you while enjoying the music.

i really hadn't heard of Dash before earlier this year... caught part of his set after Markus at EDC and wasn't feeling it at all and surprised at the amount of non-trance stuff he played...

having said that, people getting upset he played this track (remix?) is pretty silly.
