They really understand how to play for the crowd in front of them.


thats what ive been trying to tell people for years but nobody listens to me.

So pretty fucking excited! lol Oakenfold is a legend, and he didn't disappoint me at all. Anyone know what his first track was??? I really enjoyed when he played "St. Francis Foley - Stoneface and Terminal" - a friend ID'd it for me. Wow, what a HUGE track! And I'm sorry, but I'll never get sick of the Braveheart theme song. LOL loved it.

I spent a lot of time in Gallery in the beginning on the night, and I think it was Chris Fresque on the decks? Anyway, whoever it was was great. A really fun, upbeat set. He played a remix of "Music Sounds Better With You", anyone know what one it was?

only complaint.....it was TOO rammed in Guv. And ya, no Rev's! But, you could get them them in Gallery, so it all worked out. LMAO


THANK YOU!!!!!!

that stoneface and terminal tune was a real goosebumps moment for me and I wanted ID'ed. Got it cranked as I type this.

Despite what most people thought I actually enjoyed Oakey's set quite a bit. He played some fluffy/cheese but it was kept to a minimum. Shame he only played for 2 hours but I guess that's the standard length of his set. Gallery was off the hook all night! Great opening set by Fresque for his bday beats, Iron Mike DESTROYED with amazing tribal and Ovi M/Greg Gow rounded things out very nicely with an abundance of tech. It was also really interesting to see a different side of Manzone & Strong in the main room - hope I get the opportunity to see a set like this in the future. They fucking closed the main room Mark Oliver style!!

lets not get ahead of ourselves here....Joe and Fab are highly versatile and very skilled performers who I have the utmost respect for.


closing the mainroom mark oliver style is only done right by Mark Oliver. Though i wasn't there...so.

Mark Oliver played an EXCELLENT opening set. I love him more and more each time I hear him play - although only when he plays house. He played a track that had a bit of something from Shirley Temple (maybe) in it... loved it.
Went to Acid lounge for a while to check out Nate Howells. He was pretty good. It was pretty quiet in there in the beginning but nice to see that lots of people from Buffalo came to support him.
Oakenfolds set was nothing special for me. There were lots of 'epic' moments but I just couldnt get into the trance. Mixing was okay but nothing I saw made me think 'wow I understand why this guy is a legend'. I preferred his second half of the set as it got much harder but was extremely happy to know he was only playing for 2 hours.
Ciara summed up Manzone and Strongs set best. I was really impressed to see the how versatile Joe and Fab are, I thought they would play one prog trance tune and then quickly move on to house. But they continued where Paul left off and played some really great prog tunes along with some houseyer and techyer tracks. It was awesome to see them play so hard, as I am use to only hearing their opening sets. Left at 5:30, I really wish I could have seen where they went from there.

I really liked how smirnoff set up the stage and the free drinks were wonderful
