Me, Johan and friend the night before....talked with him for 20 minutes....incredible guy, he just kept on talking. Why do I look so happy?

JOHAN IS A FUCKING GOD!!!!

OMG I can't believe I missed this shit! I KNEW I was going to regret it! OMG. OMG. OMG.

Hearing yalls reviews is KILLING me on the inside. I had to miss my 2nd favourite DJ because of other parties I'd committed to in the comming weeks... but jesus christ... arg!

Man, and I love those "IN SESSION WITH JOHAN GIELEN" bits... absolutely LOVE them! <333333333333.

I don't think I'm gonna let myself live down missing this event. All I can hope and pray for is that Johan will be back sometime (very) soon and I will experience him then and make up for what I lost out on!

Ballsallovertheplace.

The little samples were actually from Johan, not us ... amazing set!

Seriously, I dont know what drugs K La is on. I saw his(?) post in the roll call thread after I got home from this event about mixing like 'oil and water'. I have to tell you, from this veteran clubber, Johan is probably one of the best trance DJ's out there in terms of skills. I've seen him over 10x and maybe I've heard 1 minor mistake. He also will scratch, tweak & sample like mad, which is something most trance DJ's dont do. Anyone who witnessed Johan (2 yrs ago) spinning Igor S-"Boomerang" on THREE turntables at once knows that only someone with SERIOUS SKILLS can do that.

Also, Johan has never been one to drop some epic pussy trance set. Its always been high energy madness from him, which is why I love him so.

A-FUCING-MEN Nat!

Johan on the mixer is INSANE with skills! He never ceases to blow my mind

And the just PURE ENERGY the man radiates behind the decks is enough to get ANYONE hoppin'. He just gets the blood flowing in you when you see his face and the absolutely enjoyment he gets outta spinning for the crowd. I dont care whut ppl say about him looking weird or strange, Johan is a top-notch DJ and one that Id truly be humbled to meet and have a convo with (and I love his decisively unique style... ye ye, very distinct!!)

Jem buddy you were SO right praising Gielen the way you have been. I've heard my share of Svenson & Gielen remixes that made me want to go but the pushing factor was the hype you were emitting, and it was totally worth it. The man is a genius; he had an absolutely wicked set; bombs after bombs...I lost my voice from screaming with each bloody track!!!

Another observation: Chinese people really love their trance. Last night put Sat. @ Guv to shame. (Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude here; they may not be Chinese, I'm being over simplistic...call me a Paki and we'll call it even )

But they were dancing it up like the rest of 'em, at least front and centre, where I was most of the night. I really loved the vibe (wish there were more TAs I met...wow where did all these posts come from?! LOL!)

I have to say I was REALLY impressed with the club. I will definitely be hitting the Republik again, another one of these Sunday nights when my man Dennis Hahn will be residing!

Excellent sound, loved the lights and the screens; and that massive stage in the front is a podium whore's wish come true!!! (yes, that's right KKEFKA!!! )

totaly agree. his sets freakin MOVE you. and he was on his mixing game last nite for sure, 90% of the mixing was perfect, only a few minor ones here and there which weren't a big deal. (because he was interacting with the crowd to much and raising the energy levels in everyone to give a fuck unlike some of the boring ass djs who are locked into there headphones for there whole set not even cracking a smile). (you get that a lot in progressive djs, no offense, i love progressive music, but not much for clubbing to, cause the djs bore me. its good late nite music in my car more then anything).

agnelli & nelson - shivver (John o'callaghan remix)

Had the opportunity to hear this track before the gig, so I knew it was coming! Definitely going to be a big summer tune.
