Okay so I went to The Guvernment on Saturday and it was honestly a lot better than I thought it would be. For starters, the parking ticket machine was broken so we got to park for free. We get up to a line that reaches the sidewalk and still get inside in under 15 minutes. We walk into the main room and I made a note to myself to observe people. The crowd was pretty mixed and most people seemed to be enjoying themselves. I heard the "I'm a slave for you" (spears) remix and Rapture which I was never a big fan of until I heard it on a louder system. To be honest though I spent about 98% of the time in the hip hop room which was wicked all night so I can't comment on how Mark Oliver did. However I can say that when I left, probably close to 3am, the main room was packed and everybody was dancing so he was doin' a good job of catering to the crowd. Overall it was a lot better than I expected.

I guess that just goes to show that you really have to experience it for yourself and not let others tell you how it is Trance Outlaw. I was actually there this Saturday and had a fabulous time.

Didn't plan on going to guvernment that night but ended up there anyways last minute. Haven't been there in a little while (the last time I was there was when Guy Ordanel was there), so I was looking forward to it. When I got there, there was a lineup as usual and I really didn't want to line up. So I went up and started a conversation with one of the girls that was working near the VIP line and asked her if she could sneak us in. To my surprise she did try until the owner showed up. Anyways we knew one of the bouncers there so she told us to just get in the VIP line and say we were friends of theirs and they let us, which was great because that saved us the long lineup.

When we got in I also made a extra note to observe the crowd. Yeah, everyone seemed to be having a good time. The crowd was great. Everyone that I talked to was looking forward to Thursday. Mark spun some tunes from Green Velvet , DJ Dan etc...probably to get the crowd ready for Smirnoff. About the Rapture track, I believe I have every single possible remix of this dope track possible but the one that Mark spun sounded different. Seemed like to me he was doing a great job mixing it with his style and upped the BPM or something. He also played some classic house tunes there as well. Oh, by the way for anyone that was there that night...anybody know what track it was that Mark remixed in halfway through Delerium- Silence? The crowd erupted at that point. I can't really describe it but it had some parts that sounded like Mario Piu - the Vision but not quite. Anyways, I would love that track if anyone was there knows what I'm talking about.

Yeah, overall a fun night at Guv. Met some pretty cool people. The only downer was some fat chick that was sitting next to me kept bugging me for K all night. I stayed till 5 and I had to start work in a few hours at 10 The crowd was still dancing and enjoying themselves at this point, so no complaints for good O' Oliver.

WHAT?!
He played "Silence"? Wow... which remix, Tiesto's?
And I missed it?!!! Damn...

I knew I shouldn't have believed Mark Oliver when he said that the "Silence" was overplayed, and that he won't spin it that much since he spun it like zillion times in the past 2 years... but I guess this was one of those rare occasions... damn it!

Rare occasion indeed. I believe it was the Tiesto mix, but he had Silence going for more than half an hour because he remixed it with a few other tunes and kept going back to Silence, it was fantastic.

Hey fantom, I see you are a member of the Guvernment AG group. Looks like a very sweet group. A lot of the lists that people have on Dec 17, 18 were the tunes that Mark was playing on Saturday.."open your eyes" , "house of god" , "lala land" etc etc.. looks like a great concept for a group. I just applied.

I see you are a Nick Holder fan too, very nice.

Hehee, yes, I am slowly becoming a Nick Holder fan... someone mentioned me a song made by him, and after downloading that 1 song I needed something more from him... and the next thing I know, I've downloaded like every single song of his I could find, and I really liked most of them. What can I say, I love his style of house music...
