Being my first time partying in MTL, my first trance party and my first massive, the whole night was very overwhelming…in the best way possible!
After debating with myself all week if I should go, I bought my ticket at 3pm on Sunday and off I went! Got to the venue at 9:45pm and the first thing I noticed was how into the white theme everyone was. I have never seen an event where 99% of the people went all out on their costume. Some of the costumes were very entertaining to say the least. I somehow managed to pass by the hour long line to get my ticket and only waited for about 20 minutes to get searched. While I was waiting for people to arrive, I walked around the building and I could not believe how big the place was! It was a nice change from partying in small clubs all the time. I met up with Tara and Jill and we went over to the house room. The music was decent to start and then went to shit. We spent the next hour trying to meet up with people, which was a challenge at times due to the sheer size and amount of people that had arrived.
I headed over to the trance room around 12:45 and caught the end of Infected Mushroom. It was interesting and fun for a short amount of time, but 15 minutes was definitely enough. And then SvD. I was excited to hear him since so many people really love him, but he was very disappointing. There were a few good songs here and there, but overall I really disliked it and I was surprised I last an hour listening to him. Went over to catch Guetta and he wasn’t really doing it for me. I got to hear The World is Mine which brought me back a few years, but overall he was mediocre.
After sitting down for a bit, I headed back for Ferry’s set. Being 4am and not hearing any good music yet was a little disappointing and I was starting to question why I came. I have also heard from a ton of people that Ferry is always amazing, so I had VERY high expectations from him. And WOW! He was far better than I could ever imagine. He played one of the best sets I have ever heard live. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and how the music was still getting better and better as his set progressed. “Ferry FUCKING Corsten!” I was told about halfway through his set to come to the back because the visuals were better (thank you Veronica!). I didn’t really understand until I went back and saw the full effect of the boombox. Absolutely unreal. It was so memorizing to watch and really enhanced the experience. A very unexpected addition to my Bal en Blanc.
After Ferry finished I felt completely satisfied and didn’t even care if I saw anymore DJ’s. I tried to give Markus a chance but really couldn’t get into it. After listening to the beginning of his set again today, he was better than I remember, but Ferry ruined it for me. I spent the next hour sitting and then decided it was time to see if I could enjoy the music again. The last half of his set was amazing and I didn’t want him to stop.
Until Sied van Riel came on. Holy shit. “This guy is serious business” Lol! He absolutely destroyed the place. I love that at 10am he was playing so hard and fast, exactly what I needed to finish out the morning. Props to the final four who closed the place out  .
Overall, such an epic night. It was awesome partying with so many TOTA’s. And why have I not been listening to trance before? Jumping around craziness FTW! I love my trance life! Haha. Montreal is such an amazing city and I can’t wait to go back. After such a great night, having the car ride home be absolute hilariousness just topped it off. I don’t know if I have ever laughed that much. Sorry Jill!
