I dunno Sasha - me, Bogie and Antonchik had a blast there the whole time we were inside. I'm not a Yahel fanboy by any measure - never heard any of his sets or productions, nor am I Jewish so there's no racial pride there either. I just knew he was Psy Trance, came in with an open mind, and he blew me away.
The night wasn't without its faults of course - getting in was a MAJOR bitch. Spent 30 mins outside in a lineup, and another 30 in the coat check line while every Jew and their 6545343 friends passed their coats up to the front. So the people who patiently waited in line got fucked over by those who had lots of friends and passed their jackets up to the front. GRRR.
The club itself was alright. Never been to Fluid, and I think instead of making two small rooms, they should have made 1 big room. Other than that it was fine - the ceilings were a bit low, and without any A/C or fans, all the cigarette smoke and sweat didn't dissipate, and just hung around your face all night. It was maaad hot in there too - I was completely drenched in sweat by the time I came out of the club. Sound was decent - not the greatest I've heard, and I thought it was sucky when I first came in, but then shortly later I stopped noticing it.
The crowd.. well... it was certainly a certified Jewish bonanza that night. The guys were pushy and idiotic, but there were enough slutty bitches there, so that kind of made up for it. Everyone was going insane for Yahel, and maybe it was because he was Israeli, and maybe it was because of his set, but you know what, I don't really care which one it was. As long as the people are enjoying themselves in the club, it makes it that much easier for me to enjoy myself too and share the excitement. Yes, sometimes the shouting and jumping got a little excessive, but people were having fun and that's all that counts imo.
The music, as I've already said, was rocking imo. Wicked melodes at some times, sick hard beats at others, electric guitars here and there, and enough dirty Psy synths too. I dunno why I enjoyed it so much while the rest of you didn't - maybe because I haven't heard Trance since Ultra Spin 11, or maybe it was because I've always loved good Psy Trance. I couldn't care less about the transitions and whatever the fuck. It's the song that keeps me going, not the transition to it, so to me the track itself is everything, and he dropped ENUFF wicked tunes that night. His first half was definitely better, but he kept me going without any efforts towards the very end. He was really into the music itself too, and that really helped - with every build he's get the crowd hyped up, and it was easy to get caught up in it.
Edit: Oh, and nice to meet you Extacy Bomb. I have already forgotten what you look like, so you'll have to introduce yourself a second time for it to stick, I think, lol.
