My issue with the opening slots sometimes is the mentality that they need to not be interesting in order to make the headliner shine more. I disagree. I think they should limit the energy, but still make people get into the party. Danny Howells used to do great opening slots while saving the bang for later. Of course, he had years of experience opening for Digweed to hone his skill.

You can play in the spectrum of 116-121 and still have tons of amazing music at your disposal if you aren't a total hack. Hell Innervisions parties sometimes consist of almost nothing but stuff in that area for example, even during peak time.

maher is very good at opening imo. he knows how to slowly build up the crowd without being boring or trying to steal the spotlight. it's such a delicate balance

^Agreed. Maher knows what he's doing, he always warms up nicely.. when he b2b'd with Ostrich after Riccardo, man they fuckin killed it. Best local set I've ever seen.

FYI, the blond woman behind Markus in the pics is not Heather but a Stereo barmaid who was giving the drinks in the dj booth.

Great review Spin, you definitely nailed it on the button, it was nice seeing you at the party as well. How was Lee at Piknic?

Also, good review edmottawa, nice site and pictures! He was an absolute "Beast" for not taking a single break. Hopefully a round 3 is in the works or a closer return this time around to the temple.

likewise, yours showed more depth

friend overdid it at Markus so I skipped Lee

Hey guys thanks for that feedback, really appreciate it.

I took out the part stating that the blonde lady was Heather Schulz. Judging from the pictures I found on the net Heather is also a tall blonde so I just assumed it was her.

7 hours is not that big of a deal. Nobody should need a break.

journalism 101 hehe but very nice read. I see Escapade changed venues, hopefully it's better organised than last years. I won't be going so get some good pics of the chicas
