Just to reiterate, he RAPED Club Space on Saturday and played the set that most of you wanted to hear from him. He started out with For An Angel 2009 and banged it out from beginning to end, no fluff! It was way way way harder than his Friday set (I was there too). Surprisingly harder than the set he played in SF a few months ago too. I wasn't going to go to this but I decided to go last minute. I also wanted to catch Troy Pierce and Marc Houle on the Loft, so everything worked out perfectly.
I have no regrets going both nights (Techno Loft was SICK on Saturday too). Also I have to give it up to Club Space for throwing an awesome party. Other than holding the presale line for a bit too long on Friday (Saturday only took a 10 minutes), everything else was awesome, not to mention that we got ALL ACCESS to the Terrace and Loft (Fri and Sat) with just the PVD ticket.
Going back to PVD though, I agree that his set on Friday was kind of wavy with his ups and downs, but only for the first hour. Yet he still managed to keep the energy up. The first hour of his set was as good as SVD's last hour, so some people need to STFU about SVD>PVD or whatever. They're both awesome, PVD is probably more versatile, which is I annoying I guess to some people, depending on the night they catch him..... The last 2 hours was FUCKING BANGING! Some of you people complain about him playing "housey" tracks or breaking up the energy a bit, I think it's complete BULLSHIT. Breaking up the energy is part of a good set! You forget to mention how every other real "trance dj" plays long fluffy, cheesy vocal breakdowns every god damn song. I went to plenty of "trance" parties (Dip In, AVA, Anjunabeats) and i'm sick of the fluffy vocal breakdowns every song, the same mixing in at 32 bars every fucking song, etc. Everything is way too predictable. Blah...... I'll take PVD's hybrid Ableton sets any day. I think a lot of you just bash and don't really know WTF you're talking about. If you don't think that other dj's play similar sets from city to city, or play similar styles from year to year, then you need to get your head checked..... I'll give props to someone who steps out and innovates and does it well, over others who do the same shit as everybody else. Here is what most trance dj's do: pick out a 140+ bpm song that doesn't key clash with the song that's playing, beatmatch for 5 seconds, mix it in by the 32nd bar, chill for a few minutes, repeat. Lots of skill eh?
Anyways, to each his own. I'm glad to see that we got such a good variety of events this year and that everybody seemed to have a good week. Seems much better than last year.........
