This was my first trip to the Guvernment.
here is the review I wrote for detroitclubscene.com.
I will try too write a proper review of the evening/morning, but keep in mind that nothing I say will do this party justice. Club nights will never be the same for me again. It was that good.
With that said, here we go...........
Got in @ 9:30 with no problem(Kris you fucking rock).
Walked in the Kool Haus and fucking lost it Could not believe the size of this room. I was so fucking pumped up that I downed 3 vodka/cranberries within 1/2hr too take the edge off. Pure adrenaline that Ive never had before when walking in somewhere. And no I did not preparty at all. Mark O was playing prog/trancy type stuff. Nice.
Shorty after 11 I found Darren, and he gave me the grand tour of the place(thanks man!) The complex is fucking huge! I have no idea how many people the place holds.. but its a shitload! After walking through everywhere you could go I went back to check out Markus Shultz in the Kool Haus.
His set was good, but not great IMO. Again he played a little early so you cant really expect him to blow the place out. It was a little "fluffy" for my taste.
I was mostly looking forward to hearing Digweed play. So after Markus was done I went over to the Guvernment. He was already on, and the room was fucking jammed! I could barely move at all. So basically I just stood there for about 1hour to 2hours just trying to absorb the nasty shit he was throwing down. After standing for awhile I came to the conclusion that I wasnt going to be able to dance at all, and I should probably go cool down somewhere because at this point I didnt think I could put water in my body faster than I was sweating it out. So after it taking me 15 minutes to get out of there (yes 15 minutes, I timed it ) I made it back to the Kool Haus for Grayarea.
They were doing a live show, so I was interested in how it would turn out.
Well I really couldnt get into it. It sounded horrible. Too loud. I was expecting my ears to be bleeding at this point. Thought to myself... hmmm they are only on for an hour so I'll make a round thru the complex.
Walked thru to the tent where I was hearing some prog/housey type stuff. And yes the tent was jammed as well. I have no idea who was spinning, but she was killing it. Yes she. This woman was on a fucking mission to bring that tent down. Danced in there for awhile Then decided to walk thru the complex, which I intended to do earlier, but the tent was just to nutty for me to pass up
I made my round thru everything and ened up back in the Kool Haus. Blank & Jones were on and sounded really good. At this point the music is really starting too get harder and harder everywhere. They played some high energy stuff and the place is fucking blowing up. FUCK! Im thinking at this moment I need to conserve energy for the long haul.
I make my way back too the Guvernment and Deep Dish was on. Not sure which guy it was, but it was a tad slow for me at this time of the night/morning. I chill in there for a little while then make my way through again.
End up in the Kool Haus again, and Armin is on. He was fucking relentless. I couldnt believe what I was hearing from him. Banger after Banger. Holy shit The place was going apeshit & I tryed to take in as much as I couldOnlytayed in there til 6am or so & decided to head up to the Skybar for Demi's set. Hung out for a few, but as it got lighter, and seeing cracked out people everywhere... I decided I wasnt ready for daylight just yet
Made my way down and around back to Deep Dish in the Guvernment. At this point Im consumed. Ive had a fucking eargasm about a hundred times and my mind is on overload. I walk in and the room is just going off. Pure insantity. Ive now decided this where I must end the morning. Rami said it best. Utter fucking filth. This was the sickest, most discusting shit ive ever heard (not counting Richie, but thats a different story). Now its about 8:30 am and I have simply lost it. I cannot stand anymore & Im completely exhausted. But I dont want it to end. Im sitting behind the dj booth eyes basically closed the whole time. 9:30am comes around and I ask this guy next too me how long they are gonna let em go. He says "if they would let them play til Tuesday DD would do it, and the room would still be packed".
So I sit and absorb the last hour of their set.
10:30 am. Its done. I walk out to my car and sit there for 45minutes trying to understand what I just experienced. My mind just got fucked a hundred times over for the last 13 1/2hours & my body simply hates me.
Shit.. I guess thats pretty much it. Now I just have one question...........
When are we going back?
