well well well
what a night
started off at the pre-meetup. i thought it was a great idea,TAs nice to meet all of you who actually showed up.
As for the event first thing was that the girls were driving me nuts. God save montreal and its women. drools all around. preach did a beautiful set very nice very upbeat, did a very good job of pumping up the crowd as well. eveyone was jimping jumping. TIESTO did his usual mistake. for some reason he thinks he is starting the night so he always starts slow for some reason. and he kept it going longer than usual but he picked it up towards the final hours and boy did he pick it up. very nice very nice. but the trance room became so uncomfortable to be in. all i could breathe in was sweat fumes which isn't exactly a very tantilizing feeling. Benny B was not impressive it was almost as if he brought a set he had prepared for a different venue..not appropriate at all. the house music had some very nice music going on as well..too many men holding mens hands for my taste so i didn't stay there too long. only for small periods of time.
but once again i have to give my props to the women who really made the night a treat for the eyes.
and props to anyone who showed up on a wheel chair, i thought that was the coolest thing ever...that's a true fan
except for that one chick who went into shock on the floor...ouch

Cool party, great music till benni benassi.
Preach is a star. Tiesto is a star.

Me, Misho, Kane, and Deluca arrived at the party at around ~10:30 (if im not mistaking). We came with a bunch of other people, and everyone was slow (especially me, i forgot my ticket at misho's place lol) so sorry we didnt make it to the pre-meetup. Then at 11ish we met up with monika and mmx and his friends, and we stuck around the trance room. One thing though, our huge group didnt stick around together for too long. We had deluca with girl disapear to the bathroom for a few hours , we had me and monika and ummm (monika help me out) the third guy? (forgot his name) running around like kids trying to achieve some tasks that i dont think we ever achieved lol, and kane was here and there. Preach, was nice to jam with ya to some benni on the dancefloor for that hour or two. I went to the house room for the beginning of deep dish. They were playing some quality stuff. If i had more energy, im sure id stay longer but i was too drained.

oh ya, I remember a guy trying to give tiesto preach's relic rec compilation cd to sign. Malek saw it too. I was like wtf!@2!@

Malek was nice to meet you again, 2 shishtaouks sounds nice now , thanks for the pictures.

Didnt really meet any other TA's except maybe one, but i wasn't sure who it was.

Overall, i was feeling too happy all night !

I hate to say it, but this has been the most disappointing event I've been too. From start to finish, everything was a let down, not to mention I almost went through a bad experience. Someone was going around drugging people by dumping pills in their water bottles, and it happened to me. I was dancing with my girlfriend and I saw this black guy come up behind her and as soon as I was opening up my water bottle (behind my girlfriend's back) the guy just extends his arm and quickly leaves. I notice this and bring the water bottle up to a light, only to witness a pill floating around, dissolving at an lightning rate. I freaked out, then immediately started to dump the water on the ground and jet out of there with my girl. How long was this going on for? For the next hour or so, I was paranoid as hell, and that ruined my whole night.

I spent the majority of my time in the trance room.

Things that sucked at Bal en Blanc:
- Line up (1 hour+).
- Sound system; my ears are still ringing right now. This didn't happen at Celebration or Cream. Someone doesn't know how to calibrate their setup.
- Lights; not enough colours. Did anyone else notice that the whole fucking room was bright? The hell? I could read a god damn novel in there.
- Crowd; from date-rapists to the ginos trying to pick up girls and other low-lives out there ruining it for everyone else. Fuck that.
- Benny Benassi; what the HELL was he doing at Bal en Blanc? Club Dome (or whatever it's called now) should sign a ten year contract with this pathetic excuse for a DJ so he doesn't show up anywhere else.

Things that rocked at Bal en Blanc:
- Preach.
- Friends.

Didnt stay for B.B

I know I was in-line getting food, heard these guys talking about how girls dont wanna get picked up, I wanted to slap them in the back of the head. Be like "yah moron, raves are to go and party with friends, not ppl, its not a fucking bar"

Sound system. For sure loud. I got a hearing problem so I go deaf in one ear and my other ear rings for a while.

One other thing, they have to work on the VIP thing for next year. The line up was dumb, plus the section for the VIp way to many people as i said before. If the stage was a different way and all could of been better and had more space (they'll for sure know for next year, i hope)

Since i can't sleep !!

Let's type a review !!


Got there pretty early ( duh i was with preach so i had to be there a 9:30 so ... i was one of the first person to actually enter the room )
and i thought that the set-up for the Trance room was good, untill i went to the house room where the set-up was just out of this world superbe, it seemed as if the room was smaller and much more intimate than the trance room, and it was WAY DARKER THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH !!

The trance room filled freakishly quickly, around 11 there was no more room to move and/or breathe in the trance room while the house room was half empty and frickin cold.

So around 11:00 i got in the vip ( thanks to THA MAN LOUIS !!) and got hamerred BAD !!! So during tiesto and Morales i litterally walked for 4h listening to both set and trying to come down from the alcohol ( i must have been pretty funny to look at ) so around 4-5 in the morning my party realy started, and i had fun untill noon with some great friends

Now

Let's talk about the dj's

Trance Room

Preach: well ... it was obvious that he was going to kill it like he does every single little time he plays somewhere. There's nothing mor to say than that ! By far the Best set of the night

Tiesto: ........................................ i hate him, i hate trance ... but i think he did and ok job, kept the crowd jumping and played a little more Tech-trancy that i thought he would

Benny Benassi: I'm gonna get flammed but I actually thought that He did he wonderful job. Sure his mixing was horendous but his tracklisting was soooooooooooo great. Can't believe he played poney part, and Smack my bitch up most likely the song of the night for me. the way he played with the effect just kept the crowd rocking for the 3 hours that he played. I said to many people before the party that he might steal the show from Tiesto and he did ... for me at least and for a lot of people i know too !

Marco G: I thought that he'd go much much much much much more funkier than he did ( since he had told me that he'd do a funky tech-house set and i couldn't wait for him to some on ) but he played HAAAARDDDDDD and don't take it in a wrong way he gave every single little person in the room a Lesson in techno, he also abused his productions, preach's productions and the Machine's production ... lol

House room

Bruno Brown: Donnu couldn't get out of the trance room while preach was mixing

Jester : Same thing as above

David Morales : Did his usuall stuff, Disco-tribal-vocal-new-york influenced kinda house, if you like it he did a good job ( i like it so ... ) as for his mixing again he did his usual stuff nothing great, but nothing bad either. Btw the Live "how would you feel" act was pretty neat had goosebumps all over me

Peter Rauhofer : Can't believe people like him. The MOST BORING MUSIC EVER HEARD OMG, he could actually play the same song over and over again for 3hours and it wouldn't change a thing, it would still the most cheesiest tribal beats .... AND SOOOOOOOOOOO SLOWWWWW i hate him.

Deep dish: As usuall they where great, but I'm wondering if we'll ever get someone else to close a party in Montreal other than deep dish. It wouldn't even surprise me to see them booked at swirl !!

Now let's talk about the sound ... IT WAS HORENDOUS IN THE TRANCE ROOM, not well calibrated, tooooo many highs, my ears are gonna ring fro years !!!! But the sound in the house room was way better !! Also the vip was pretty bad, how many vip have they sold ?? 12 000 ??? seemed like everybody had a vip bracelet. At one point it took me 15 minutes just to get IN the vip, i mean just to pass the security guys. Unbelievable, and, as i've said last year they could really put some speakers in the Vip, 'cause for 25 $ we want to hear what's happening, not just the bass !!
