Entered the Kool Haus around 3:00 to see Pete Tong (i believe just getting on the decks), and find out Danny Howells came on early. I was pissed. So went to the Guv, mega packed at this point, and very hot. I was expecting it, so i aint gonna start bitchin. Hung out on the stage with various TA's (the regulars), special mention must go out to my girls Erika and Tara. You ladies are scrumptious. Had a nice chat with those who were on stage, and proceeded to the Kool Haus again to kool off and achieve some space on the dancefloor.

Pete Tong is playing some GREAT tracks as we enter and the place is going completely off. Then comes the mix - Ba duh, ba duh, ba duh (trainwreck). Ouch. Ok, so ill give him the benefit of the doubt - one bad mix right?? Next track comes on - WICKEDDDDDD TRACK. Then the mix - Ba duh duh, ba duh duh. Oh man that is rough. This guy wouldve been better off throwing a 5 disc changer on the stage and hitting random. Great tracks, ill give him that. But holy fuck. Back to mixing school Petey. Please. No flow what so ever either. At one point he went from an Electro track, to trance, then to techno, then prog. Huh? So back to the Guv.

Scumfrog was KILLING IT at this point. Digital drummy layering, the voice-overs, and his overall presence was felt througout the room. Hes more like a rock star than a dj, just total vibe when he goes off. From 6:00am til close (7:15), he played his best shit. Completely dirty and dark. The place went off when he dropped that track (Nat- please ID) with the vocals "Were gonna be so HIGHHHHHHH" (or something like that). He played it at Boa last time as well. Track of the night though - was the one he played just before that rock track he closed with. Ive heard it before, almost a Mauro Picotto/ Sven Vath sound. Jesus. The place was jumping like they all had fresh legs and it was 7am. Great set by the Frog. Blew my mind once again.

Anyone that stayed for Pete Tong's set knows that there were not a whole bunch of train wrecks. I heard two poor mixes by him the whole night. The guy was playing sick beats, and the flow was fine, IMO.

Danny Howells killed it, and Pete Tong totally surprised me. I expected a weak set by him, but it wasn't. The music in the Kool haus was wicked all night. Scumfrog was amazing from what I heard. Great time.

Pete TONG was good and the music and the people were great. Except for these damned whistle blowers. There were 2 of them in particular in KH. I actually went to one to one of them and told him to kill it, he stopped for a minute and then the asshole started again. Then this idiot in a greek soccer shirt started. Had to move all the way back to ignore them. Somebody has to tell these idiots that the whole whistle thing is over.

BAN THE WHISTLES!!!!!

LOL. I was hardly in the kh, but there were a few in the guv too. they don't really bug me as long as they don't do it throughout the WHOLE song. I admit, they can get pretty annoying tho...

There werent a bunch. But there were two, and seeing as they were back to back, they stood out even more. Ill admit, he played some outstanding SONGS - but his mixing/programming was probebly the worst i have ever heard by a headliner dj.

His mixing always has been BAD... just listen to any of his own sets, it's usually horrible...but great track selection

YES INDEEDY!! My night pretty much consisted of me waiting till Scumfrog came on, and then dancing my ass off throughout his whole set. Boy am I sore now. Glad to finally see the man in action, it's been way too long!

Good to see some fellow TA's in the mix sat night. Nice to see Tatgirl, Stereo Princess, Francis and Ray (? i think). Pleasure to have met Funkyfun (I think it was) aka Nash, and your buddy James. Good peeps! Sorry my buddy almost theived your lighter

Highlight of the night: The awesome interactivity Scumfrog exhibited with the crowd during his set.

Didnt doubt that one bit.
He's like a baker who uses a $10,000 cake mix, but burns the cake.
