Nothing could have prepared me for the awesomeness that was PvD's set @ Nation! I figured PvD would play a better set than when I last saw him @ GLOW...and he didn't disappoint! I rushed to the main room soon after I made it to Nation, a little after PvD took the decks. The front of the DJ booth was jampacked, but I could get a glimpse of PvD. I don't recall seeing PvD in such a great mood, out of all the times I've seen him in DC! Out of the three times I'd seen PvD in DC...this was hands down my favorite set! This was exactly how a trance set should be! PvD's sound was uplifting and quite relentless! The last two hours of PvD's set were absolutely bangin'...especially when he started going for the tech-trance sound! I only wish that PvD's set would've been more than 4 hours...but I'm so glad I had the chance to see him @ Nation!
Among the songs that made my night...
Paul Van Dyk - Time of our Lives
Randy Katana - In Silence (Txitxarro Mix). My jaw dropped when I heard this one!
Mojado - Senorita...OMG!
Marco V - More Than a Life Away...nice!
Paul van Dyk - Nothing But You. Still to this day...a lovely track!
U2 - Where The Streets Have No Names (NU NRG rmx). As soon as I heard this one, I ran back into the main room and stood transfixed!
Paul Van Dyk - For An Angel. This was my first favorite track from PvD...and hearing PvD drop it just blew me away!
My favorite moment of the night quite frankly was...hearing NU NRG's remix of U2's classic track followed by For An Angel! Looking toward the DJ booth, I could see the explosion of lights still coming through the cryogenic fog. For me, this moment is unforgettable!
What else did I love about the night? Getting to hear PvD's set throughout the club! Even when I went over to the front room bar for my Red Bull/Stoli Ohranj session, I could still appreciate every moment of PvD's set! It was also great catching up with quite a few friends throughout the night! The vibe was excellent! There was no pretense or drama. As much as I've enjoyed previous Buzzlife events...this was the best ever!
And one more thing...shoutouts to...Shamen DJs (great catching up at last!), DJ Flight, Cristian and Claudio, Greedy, Destynee, Jose, Koon, Empath, Jonathan and Amanda, 3bbi3, Tamtui, Russ, Skytrancegirl (can't believe I didn't see you!), Josy (wish I'd seen you!)...sorry if I forgot anyone!
PvD rocks!!!!!
