The Land of Milk and Honey-Toronto August 1996
Sasha
John Digweed
Laurent Garnier
Epic night of mid nineties progressive and Laurent Garnier who killed it that night with his techno-house craziness. Probably the best set I have ever heard.

The Guvernment Toronto June 30, 1999
Sasha and Digweed
6 hour set from the masters. Amazing energy, vibe and awesome music.

Black and Blue-1996
Danny Tenaglia
Great party with my crew. Danny was a very naughty boy that night

Swirl 1999-Stade Olympic
Sasha
Carl Craig
Doc Martin vs Dj Sneak
Misstress Barbara
Biggest event I ever went to. Sasha didn't disappoint.

This is the cream of the crop.Too many more to list.

Shit it seems Sasha is almost up on everyone's list and still I have yet to see him in Montreal since i've been here

World Electronic Music Festival (WEMF) - 1998 - Christian Island, Ont. 3 days, 3 stages, 30C, 5000 ravers, one ferry, amazing beach & dj's. One of the most legendary outdoor EDM events ever in Ontario. The only year it was ever held on that island.

Syrous "total recall" Nov 1994, Toronto. Airplane hangar. House room and D & B room. My first massive and was hooked. About 6000 ppl.

Danny Tenaglia - improptu set, DC 10, Ibiza, Sept 2002 (I would not call this a "rave", but an after-hours, on Monday morning...yiikes indeed).

Paul Van Dyk - Twilo NYC, July 2001. Phazon sound system - 'nuff said. Saltwalter from Chicane never sounded so good.

Ultra Music Festival, Miami WMC 2006, Danny Tenaglia & Carl Cox @ Carl Cox tent. Best stage hands-down any year you go. 50 000 people overall.

Movement / Detroit Electronic Music Festival - Plastikman LIVE at main stage. May 2010. Best 30$ spent for entry into a festival. Ever. 40 000 people overall.

Lee Burridge - Leeki Teeki Boat Party. Miami WMC 2009. 150 people. Open Bar. Sand dancefloor. Undescribable vibe & ridiculousness.

Tenaglia 17.5 hr marathon @ Stereo, Sept 2003 One week before I bought my house. Stayed 14 hrs. Saying it was a voyage would be a massive understatement.

Cream 2004 w/Deep Dish, Kleinenberg, Corsten, Digweed, Masielo.

Black & Blue 2005 at the Big O w/ Tenagalia, Chus & Ceballos. Mind-bogling production, lights, sound, dj sets, vibe.

Afterhours is a state of mind, but significantly, it's more a state of 'I don't mind'. A determined continuation, contentment and relief that 'it ain't over yet!' An injection of music into attitude and occasion which creates an emotional wave forth that isolates globally, a ringing harmonic, a signal to a like-minded collective that 'we are only us'.

Shit I need to get out of canada and rave more in the international world

Leftroom + Panorama Bar must have been amazing. Matt Tolfrey is a genious.

Isn't it ironic? Don'tcha think?

Yea, yea. I always get that wrong. Minus one point for me.

I still mix up I before E except after C sometimes. No big whoop.
