I think this event was like one of the best events I've attended this year! I think I had a better time at BOA than when I was at WEMF. I couldn't have thought of a better way to pop my BOA cherry! Edgar V. was absolutely great. It was my first time hearing of him and boy did he impress me! JOOF...do I really need to say anything? I think the name alone says it all. He left me wanting more after WEMF and boy did he deliver. Fleming rocked my trance world with an outstanding set. He is such a great dj and person. The energy all night long was superb. Everyone was so into the music and dancing. I had a great time sharing my "first time" with the TA's that were there! As for the venue...FUCK THE GUV! I was in awe when I saw this place. I thought the stairs were great but I do agree with Durfei...smoking should have been kept down stairs even though I myself was smoking. And $5.00 for a bottle of water was a little ridiculous but those energy drinks were amazing. I hope BOA gets more awesome trance headliners. Imagine if JOOF had a residency there???

By far the best party ive been to so far! and boa is also my new favorite venue, sounds/lights/layout/people simply amazing! partying with all the TA's made it sooooooooo good, especially meeting so many that i havent had the chance to meet before due to age resitrictions :P



Amazing.

I have a few qualms with this whole style code thing.
A)Staff weren't exactly dressed up.
B)The majority of the people there weren't that dressed up.
C)Boa isn't that nice...the decor is okay. But enough to have a style code?
D)If you're going to have a Trance night expect people to dance for the whole night. And people are going to be dressed for that. Not for coffee and cheesecake after the theatre.

The whole thing struck me as a bit odd. I was sort of "allowed" in (and then asked by "security" why I was feeling "good", my response was that Fleming was playing). If I wasn't allowed in I would have been rather po'ed. I think people(re staff) there should mellow out in general or take more interest in stopping people from smoking (that doesn't reflect well on the image of the club/venue).

Regardless, the sound system is amazing. Rosati should have stuck with proggy-Sasha type stuff. I was just standing around at times going...wow...awestruck at the sound. For sound the place had a very intimate setting.

Fleming was the highlight. Majority of it was CDjs. In my top 4 for nights/day out.

tracklisting anyone?

I was quite impressed by BOA and its sound. The last time I visited the club I had the chance to hear the sound in and empty room and it still managed to sound great. After playing on it last Sunday I like it even better. Being an old Theater the room is very quiet and holds the sound very well. The raised floor also helps the subs travel through the room. Without downplaying the Dynacord system I think any good quality system would sound fantastic in that room. The Dynacord system has a very HI FI quality and is comparable to any high end rigs like Meyers, VDOS or EAW. I love the fact that BOA spent money where it belongs... a real sound systems. They also added a great light show.

All in all the set up is great and the venue is very, very dj friendly. I would hope that they continue doing trance on a regular basis.

Its tuff when you’re opening the night and start with an empty room... I try a different things to try and create interest and then take it from there. When i play a main slot you have the luxury of a full room and can play a more flowing set. If you’re at an event that im playing at feel free to tell me what you like... I really do look for the feedback. thanks.

Walter

I also thought playing anthems at the begining of the night was a bit much. Walter should have played more proggy than he did.

Actually they are, they're just not used all the time. Only when it fits. Use them to often and just becomes a cheesy.

Originally posted by Durafei People were telling me that the club had virtually no lighting. Well, imagine my surprise when I come into the club, and see lazers that are going to give Guvernment's lazers a run for it's money. Awesome ! Lighting in general was superb, and greatly surpassed my expectations !

not be the bad guy, but i really have to dissagree with this statement. yes boa does have good lasers and put on a good light show, IMO the lasers arent anywhere near as good as the guv ones.

i think most people have given boa a better review than it deserves. im not im the least bit saying its not a nice club, all i can say is that i was impressed by it, but by no means was i blown away.
i agree that one of the main reasons the sound is so great dispite the increadible sound system they have is the fact that it was a theatre and the room was designed to carry sound well.

i really hope to see more trance events in boa coz the crowd and energy kill the guv anyday.

Bottomline:

If you want a lightshow - Go to Guv
If you want sound - Go to Boa
