i was actually a bit dissapointed by their new sound for some reason.
but ill have to admit, i was really impressed when i left the club and my ears were not ringing.

My ears rang like an SOB when I left.

It was so loud that in parts of the dancefloor, I could feel my arm hair vibrate. No joke.

I thought it would be way louder though - I think midway during her set the levels came down because it became manageable up near the front all of a sudden.

From her website...not specifically re. her Toronto gig tho

Hey everyone!! I want to thank all the nice people who made my night from last Thursday in Ottawa one of my best nights of the last few months! It was totally refreshing to play in such a small and cool little club (Helsinki) and be able to play such slow, funky minimal acid house and techno, without anyone asking me to play harder all the time!! To be perfectly honest, if all my gigs were like last Thursday in Ottawa, or like my last Iturnem night here in Montreal, then I would be so happy! I understand that when you go to McDonalds you want McDonalds, and when you buy Coca Cola you want Coca Cola, but I really wish people could be more open to artists, and not expect always the same sound out of them. Art changes, Trade Marks don't. And although well-known artists get recognized by their sound, they are artists after all and it's just normal that they evolve and they change. Unlike McDonalds or Coca Cola. Thanks for trying to understand this... Barbara

wow...she worded it so perfectly!!!

She is still amazing nevertheless!!!!

This was my first time seeing her...

And as I'm not a big techno fan I must say....

I LOVED IT!!!! I loved it ALL!!! Aaron (Diginut) -- I'm surprised that you found that her programming was all over the place. I believe quite the contrary. I think the fact that she moved from Techno, to different styles of House contrasted VERY well and served to actually move the set along quite nicely. I wouldn't be able to keep up with the pace if the whole set was constant bangin' techno, but the fact that she would stray from that and bring it back in at the most anticipating times showed that she could REALLY move a crowd and she definitely had me in the palm of her hands!!!

I was NOT dissapointed one bit!!! (And yeah.. it made me appreciate Techno that much more!)

Anyway, nice to see the regular faces around there as usual (like my crew Enraptured, Lipstick, etc. Luv y'all) TranceChaos; Baki, it was good to party it up with you again! It's been a long while!!! Fuad (and your crew), you rock as always!! And it was nice to finally meet Vivid Boy and Rodrico in person.

Matt 'n' Eric -- great job as usual in the Front room. Eric, I DID hear those dirty tracks you dropped on your second time around -- wicked man.
