Arrived before 11 no line to enter Guv

Mark OLiver produced a sweet opening set
Reflekt featuring Delline Bass - I Need To Be Loved
Rachel Starr - Till There was You
Andy Moor - Halcyon - Great tune

ATB
sweet trance from the DJ booth. Not the hard trance usually heard at Guv, but more of a melodic beat.
I really liked this set.

Jonas Steur - Silent Waves - Loved this song. So nice to hear it at Guv
ATB - Let You Go



Crowd was a little pushy for me, so I left at 3:30

You can't expect every single person to be pleased. It's his opinion, so everyone should back off and get over it Does anything he say change what you thought about last night?...probably not.

BTW, because I don't know most of the people who attended and posted a review that means that I don't know anyone's tastes and how reliable their reviews are...so maybe if I attended and agreed with marcinm...then what? You'd bash me too? Pffffffffffffft.

ATB was terrible, zero mixing skills or buildup for that matter, and he was clearly fucked up on something aswell.

and for the record, i would have had a much better time if dj Danny D was up there mixing, since ANYONE would've been better than ATB.

punk ass bitch

Terrible. Worst dj i've ever seen there.

First of all, he could not mix. I don't think he successfully mixed a single track. He let the songs run to the end, and then he'd just put a new one on, making the bass louder or something like that.

Second, he was completely fucked on something, like he was clapping to the music at one point and HE WAS CLAPPING OFF BEAT!! I think that if he's required to mix two things that have a beat, that would constitute a problem. The contracts the dj's sign with the clubs should have a clause stipulating that if the dj shows up messed up, or gets messed up during the set, he doesn't get paid. End of story. Whatever happened to professionalism??

Thirdly, track selection was TERRIBLE. He kept playing songs that were just no good, like boring euro stuff, with celine dion type vocals.. ICK!!! Also, he was not building a set, he was all over the place, practically zero flow.

Fourthly, the crowd as the sketchiest I've ever seen, and I've been to quite a few guv events. And even then, it seemed like the energy in the room was ultra low.

I ended up leaving with my friends at around 3ish, or at the moment he played a shit remix of "let you go".

Overall, I give atb a 0/10. Completely abysmal, and even the two popular tracks he did play didn't get me going. I don't EVER want to see this guy again, and I feel bad for what seemed like a lot of people for whom this seemed to be their first contact with trance music.


this is a pretty stupid review, becuase is you don't like ATB, fair enough, don't go. But ATB delivered last night a set of what he is known for and everyone loved it. If you had done your research b4 hand, you could of gone somewhere else if melodic trance isn't your thing, but ATB delivered what we all wanted!!! And for the record his mixing was fine, and his flow was great. stop looking for dumb problems. the only thing i agree with was the crowd was pushy.

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

wat an amazing night.

starting off with a little get together at a friends house to celebrate 4 bdays was really fun. got to guv aroudn 1.30 and i could hear atb rip it up already. the line up was aroudn the corner for this guy. got in and the tunes were amazing. such melodic trance. the only thing i didnt like was that he didnt play 9pm or more of his older stuff that made him who he is now.

i must say though i like being in the guv sober, cuz right now, im probably forgetting half the night and what happened which sucks.

it was great seeing the regular TAs in full effect.

tune of the night: cafe del mar from MO

I just love the melodic beat!
It's nice to see that ATB himself enjoyed it very much with his eyes closed and moving with it. I really felt it.

Dude, you got 99% of the people contributing to this thread against your dumb ass. So just call it quits, and post somewhere else. Take your sorry ass excuse for a DJ to ginogina.ca and post there.

No one gives a fuck what you have to say about ATB or his mixing skills, in the end he's in the world's top 10, and your just another sorry piece of shit bitching about his mixing skills.

Do yourself a favour, don't even respond to this reply. I've got better things to do then to put together a series of insults for your pathetic ass.

And btw, as far as my consumption of E goes..... no comment.
