Originally posted by kron did anyone else get killed by junkie xl - today? i just remembered that it was played after some good sleep and remember myself almost passing out to that massive track

this was my first time seeing junkie xl...
wooooooow... what an amazing performance

THX FOR SS VIDEOS

MORE PLZ!!!!

ok mofos.. im home in Tampa now....

its past midnight and still no sleep... i was king of the sketch after leaving the club...


ok about the night though
KH:
porter: dunno
junkie: too much like Sander but i liked his energy (was that him doing the stage dives at the end of B&J's set?)
picotto: bah.. techno.. but it was exactly what i expected... and truthfully appreceiated his lull in the middle of his set... it cleared out the KH and allowed people to talk without yelling... and blown away that he played Komodo and Iguana... that is what made me love the old picotto... now techno.. blaha
b&j: the main reason why i came to Toronto... but that was about when i proceed start pulling face so all i remember is that it was good trance and when mel was like OMG so and so track im like "umm sure i have no idea what you said"...

Guv:
Second Sun: listened for 1min and heard too much vocals so back to KH

as for the TOTAs..

crazy bunch... you know you are... and ya.. id fail the name game if i was tested today... after about an hour i stopped introducing myself to people as Brent anymore... i was just like im Zewad

ok im done... spent and need sleep...

wish the night was more trance and less of the variety pack...

see you at LOL bitches!!

Originally posted by Jem_hadar INTENSE I very much enjoyed his set. I was certainly dancing like a fiend to it the whole fucking time (and NO I wasn't on anything!). I just enjoy Picotto sets. Had a great fucking time (though it did drag on at the end...) Sorry that yall find him too "boring"/"shitty" Jem

Nice, someone who actually enjoyed it like I did. Cheers!

Seriously- let someone else book him at another venue, for people who 'get' minimal techno, and bring the bangin' stuff back w/someone else. ANYONE else...

His first hour or so was banging tech, so I don't understand how anyone can fall asleep. But yea like I said..most people don't get or appreciate the minimal stuff. They're definately missing out

THE FUCKING FIGHT .. there were these five guys beating one guy... but I think he was fucked on soemthing that was not the ususal.. the guy came upto to me earlier in the night and making stupid conversation. Next thing I know I am standing next to Jenn and these guys just beat shit out of tis guy....... TOTALLY RUINED MY MOOD.

YES, mine as well..not really a fun thing to witness and I already wasn't enjoying the night either.. I had my moments in the night but I have had much better nights out and if I had missed this party, the only DJ I would have regretted not seeing would have been Porter!!!

Porter had an amazing vibe, so full of energy and was just banging out the tunes.. had the crowd rockin and jumpin! He was definitely the highlight of the night and I personally think he stole the show in both KH and Gallery Completely underrated.. this guy deserves more recognition.

Picotto started off his set with banging techno beats.. I was actually excited when he first started and was completely pumped.. then I found myself getting a little bored with it and minimal.. yeah, no thank you! I don't want to go to a club to hear minimal techno.. Although this was my first time seeing him I didn't really know what to expect.. but I ended up leaving through the set to see Porter again in the Gallery.. when I returned he was still on..cutting into B&J's set as well.. either way, he should have stuck with what he started with and I would have been more interested.

Junkie XL.. highlights only.. Beauty Never Fades and his remix of Fight for Your Right.. that is it, that is all!

Blank and Jones.. I danced very little.. was dancing at the back when Perfect Silence came on and near the end for a little while. Other than that I spent the rest of the time sitting on a couch. I didn't enjoy their set.. I heard so many small flaws in their set. It is funny when you really sit back and just listen instead of being wrapped up in your surroundings the little things you hear
I just wasn't in the mood for them and I really didn't like any of the trance sets played last night.. It was more fun to sit and watch everyone else having a good time

There are way too many shoutouts.. but I had a wicked time coming out with everyone since it has been awhile since I have seen most of you anyhow..haha..saw a few people I haven't seen in awhile and my good times were had only cuz you guys were there

and to my PTA mofos representin.. w00t w00t!!!
It was soo good to have the crew back and in full effect lastnight.. it has been way to long and this is not to happen again.. Guv 9 yr until now is too long!!! LOL. Nada & Ali..I <3 you! Thanks again for everything..

Awesome time!

Both Porter and Junkie XL played good sets. But I was really there to hear 2 other acts on this night. The first one came on at 2am and they were awesome. Second Sun peformed some very predictable tracks - but it's all good. I enjoyed it. Great show put on by the Canadian boys!

Headed over to The Gallery at 3:30 to listen to some house music (and more importantly - avoid Mauro "oh so boring" Picotto) and rest my feet. Then headed over to KH at about 4:15 to hear the last few minutes of Picotto before the 2nd act i've been waiting for on this night was to step up to the decks.

Blank & Jones came on at 5 started off a bit slowly but then they hit their stride after about 2 or 3 tracks. Awesome stuff! Kept me going for rest of the night and had be begging to get them off the stage so I could go home. But I couldn't forgive myself if I left early. We may have even got another extra half hour from them if Picotto had gotten off then we was supposed to.

Overall it was great night. The TA vibe was outstanding!

Bigups to John Tang and Ben - thank you both

Margaret - sorry for spilling your drink.
Ryan - thank you for buying me a drink.

It was a wierd night. A good one though. haha

See you all next week!

SOOOOOOOOO.....what a f****ing party u guys! It's 2 am and im still wired ! Besides the fact that it took us three and a half hours to get to TO from London...driving in the worst possible conditions, we made it!
Tyler and Max...you boys are gold! Thanks so much for taking care of things! I owe u big!
So after a much needed shot of rye, the night begins.
The Pre-meet was a success, finally got to meet Eric (Vivid), it was an honour! As well as another TA, Eric's sidekick whose name i don't remember...my apologies. After that it was off to the Guv...after a nice cold wait to get in through guestlist we are in and welcomed with free booze by Smirnoff...that was cool. Steve Porter played a great warmup set. Junkie XL was awesome! Talk is one amazing track! We cut his set short to go see Second Sun in the Guv. They killed it what an outstanding performance! They opened with Staring at the Sun, then dropped The Spell, He Said She Said, I'm Free, Crush, Playground, just to name a few. Went back to KoolHaus to see what Picotto was up to...and it wasnt much except Komodo , it was just as well as it gve me a chance to sit down and rest before Blank and Jones took over....and did they ever!!!! Every track was amazing! I was going nuts! Ended the whole experience with an awesome mini afterparty with Second Sun and their wickedly cool friends at the Pantages Hotel !

Jem, I was so freaking happy to see you! SOOOOOOO glad u came, it ws such a wonderful surprise.
Vlad it was great to see u finally! But next time u owe me double singalongs seeing as u took off on me for all the good songs , luckily i found some other crazy dudes to scream along with...i have no idea who they were but they were loving the set as much as me which is all that counts lol
Bobby, so good u came out...it's been ages since we partied! U need to come out more!

+1

I for one...looooooooooove Techno.. and Picotto wasn't going anywhere with that set. The only downer of the night for me. Porter killed it both places, Deko-ze too, all the other dj's as well were good incl. B&J So glad to see sooooooo many TA's old and new who I haven't seen in a while, incl. the FLTA's. I guess the whole experience was a bit overwhelming, especially meeting so many new online "friends". Appologies to anyone trying to talk with me late in the night.. I wasn't quite in my normal state of mind.

Overall, good night!
