I think I hurt my knees dancing so much.
Dumonde's set last night was amazing. To all those snoots that think Trance is only cheesy bubble gum music, Dumonde proves them wrong. They span the spectrum of German Trance from the melodic and fluffy, reminiscent of the 98-99 Epic Trance craze, to downright hard, dark, and techy with sprinkles of ground rumbling breakbeats for flavour. Their track selection was great. A great mix of fresh new tunes and anthems that even the most jaded Techno/Jungle/House/etc... snob would recognize and enjoy.
Their mixing was spot on. Great timing and they (obviously) knew their tracks well. Dumonde really knows how to rock a crowd too. I'm sick of those big name DJs who DJ like it's tedious labour. I can't remember the last time I saw DJs enjoy themselves so much and interact with the crowd as they did. They would stop to sign lots autographs throughout their entire set and never missed a beat.
All I can say is WOW. I knew they were amazing producers, but I never knew what great live perfomers/DJs they were as well. I couldn't help but clap to the beat like a dumbass schoolgirl.
There's something about a wicked Trance event when you can turn to the person next to you during a wicked build and just go "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" and share a completely mutual moment of understanding. I felt like I was sixteen again. My girlfriend even got me to dance with glowsticks for the first time in at least 4 years, lol.
It was my first visit to Viva Nightclub ever. I don't know why I never went before. The sound is huge and pristine. The lasers... the lasers!!! I never knew they came in those colours.
Anyways, I think we can all agree that it was a memorable time last night. It was great meeting/bumping into some of you. It seems it's time for me to get to know more TAs. You guys know how to party
