I HAD A GREAT TIME UNTIL TIESTO WENT ON. ISN'T THAT SAD? I HAVE BEEN PUMPED FOR THE PAST MONTH AND SPENT A LOT OF MONEY I DON'T HAVE TO SEE TIESTO AND I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED. THE EXCESSIVE BASS HAD A LOT TO DO WITH IT, I MEAN DID THE SOUND GUYS NOT THINK THAT THEY COULD TURN IT DOWN? AND I GOT SICK SO THE BASS DIDN'T HELP. LUKE FAIR SAVED MY NIGHT, IF HE WASN'T THERE TO PUMP THE SICKEST SET I DON'T KNOW HOW I WOULD HAVE SURVIVED THAT NIGHT. I AM A PROG HOUSE JUNKIE BUT I THOUGHT I STIL HAD SOME TRANCE IN ME, BUT TIESTO'S TRANCE WAS JUST TO HARD. HE WAS MY FAVORITE DJ FOR A LONG TIME BUT AFTER LAST NIGHT I HAVE NO DESIRE TO SEE HIM AGAIN. IT WAS NICE TO HEAR "FLASH" AND "FLIGHT 643" IT WAS COOL TO SEE THE CROWD GO NUTS FOR THAT. HIS MIXING WAS GOOD AND AS ALWAYS HE HAS A GOOD STAGE PRESENCE, BUT FOR ME TRACK SELECTION IS WHAT HAS TO WIN OVER, AND IT DIDN'T LAST NIGHT. MET SOME COOL PEOPLE, THE STATES STUCK TOGETHER LAST NIGHT! LUKE FAIR IF U READ THIS YOU NEED TO GET TO THE STATES AND PLAY SOME PARTIES!

I had a great time, both during and after the party - which is probably the reason I missed my sleep altogether today, just wasn't worth wasting time on.
Anyways, the line-up was 10 min; had tickets; 5-min coat-check line-up; LOTS of familiar people.. not jammed at all, though I did ignore the area directly around stage for that reason and b/c of this annoying group of people who kept yelling. The sound was, indeed, shit. The added lasers + light system was great, although I remember seeing better ones at GoldClub Series events. What really pissed me off was the water dripping from the ceiling; I was soaked by the end of the night. The feedback on my t-shirt was funny.. even got an offer to sell it to this guy for $50, then fantom offered $60
Now, onto more important stuff:
LUKE FAIR: really surprised me, I didn't expect anything from him, as I've heard him before and walked out with a headache. It was very energetic, I guess he felt obliged to put more into openning for #1 DJ
TIESTO: Great first half of the set, the second part a bit more commercial, a bit more mellow, not very magikal. hmmmmm not as good as I expected, but he didn't disappoint me. Although I was pissed that he spun Flight, as he always does so predictable, hate that tune.
I LOVED Andain - Summer Calling
DEKO-ZE: W O W, loved this guy! He was so into it too! And the remaining crowd really seemed to enjoy it. The tune 'Dark beat' was a total hit!

"I feel it deep inside me.. I wanna ride it.. Can't fight it.. I might as well rely on the drum beat.. DJ pump the low end frequency.. Can't hide it.. I won't deny it.. Cause I'm addicted to drums and I'm a slave to the.. Dark Beat"

agreed!!. i had a similar guy upfront who couldnt see where the fuck he was smoking and pointing his cigarette he fucking burnt me with the cig

ran into the same dude....almost kicked his ass for that.

OMG what a night! my voice is gone and i cant hear properly.

first i will discuss the bad:

1. my main gripe was the bass was WAY too loud. i would say about 50% of the songs all i could hear waqs bass. i went up to the front and i could feel the bass in my throat.

2. I kept feeling drops of wetness on my arms and im like wtf is that? then i finally figured out it was sweat dripping off of other people. ewww

the good:

1. TA attendance = WOW

Tatgirl- Thanks for all the introductions! its people like you who make TA events so great by introducing people.

Sage- Thanks for the hook ups on the glowsticks man, what a great night, i hope to see you again.

Endlesswave- nice to see you again man, finally i know who you are LoL

halo20- man you are like the COMPLETE opposite of what you are on the boards in real life LoL. nice partying with you man!

DJ Hordash- every time im at an event with you, you always pump me up cause you're always goin craaazy!

Time2Burn- did you know like EVERYONE in that damn place? i chilled with you for a bit and every 5 steps we took "HEY MAN!! WHATS UP?!" holy christ man, you knew EVERYBODY! thanks for the offer on the J too.. too bad i couldnt cause i had to get in haha

RJ- Thanks SO much for the ride man! you're a really cool guy to hang around with and i hope we go to much more parties together.

404 Science + Friend - nice little glowing session we had goin on there for a while, haha people kept comin up to me asking "HOW THE FUCK YOU DO THAT GUY?!"

LKD- I shoulda come with you guys to FlatIron but ah well, maybe next time. great to party with you man, you're a cool guy.

Durafei- We didnt really see that much of each other last night but it was still good. i wonder if we will see yet another hilarious pic of you hahaha.

Ken- I know you didnt go but you hooked me up with that ID that let me get in. thanks so much man, it worked like a charm. ill send that back on monday!

who was the big guy that was behind me and that was with endlesswave most of the time? you got earplugs off RJ..

2. women = . holy shit man. there was this one girl beside me wearing only a pink bra and you could FULLY see down it. i had a bit of trouble paying attention to the music for a while. alot of sexy women there that night

3. the crowd: the crowd in this event was great! so many people i would just turn around to and be like "OH MY GOD!!" and just give em a hive. it was great. way better crowd than talla IMO.

4. the music: when he dropped Tomcraft- Lonliness i went INSANE. i have never felt an adrenaline rush like that in an event. it was madness. he played some of my fav songs. Way out West - Mindcircus. Iio- At the End (Scumfrog Mix). Tomcraft - Lonliness (song of the night) and the die another day Tiesto remix.


all in all it was a great night. best TA party ever. i hope to meet you guys again.

btw if anyone is wondering who i was, i was the white guy with the brown beanie, and sunglasses with red glowsticks ( i wasnt using them much while tiesto was playing tho)

heh you shoulda seen this couple in front of me. they were arguing about some shit i couldn't make out. but it was ridiculous. he looked about ready to slap her.

To tell everything about that party would take pages..
Everything was absolutely INCREDIBLE !

* Kool Haus - Looked awesome ! And best thing WASN'T OVERPACKED ! WOWO - Highlight of the night !
* Luke Fair - Played very well ! Kinda made me love progressive !
* Tiesto - WOW. He did look tired behind the decks, but still played an awesome set. True it wasn't a typical Tiesto set, but it was still great!
* Deko-ze - Unfortunately couldn't stay for his set even though I really wanted too

Shoutouts to all TAs who were in full attendance !

yeah tiesto did look pretty tired but he was really feelin' the crowd from start to finish. it was great.

hope the buffalo peepz made it back ok

This was defintely his worst perfromance of his 5 Trips to Toronto.
However he was still pretty good.

THE BASS WAS RIDICULOUS....COULDNT HEAR A FUCKIN THING!!!

I didnt think it was too packed. I was expecting to not be able to move.
Also, it seemed like noone there had any clue as to what was going on. Id hear a track coming in and go nuts while 1000 other ppl just stood there. Even "The Prophet" didnt seem to get anyone excited...

So the music was decent, Bass ruined everything, and the vibe was defintely lower than his other visits.

i know exactly wat u mean...the worst was up front...it was worse than sitting in a gino mobile with 10 subs.... as for people not feeling, i dunno wat ur talkin bout man..of course right up fron where i was, all of us were singing along with the vocal tracks and we were nuts there..... but i did glance many times behind and noticed people all clueless

i can bet on a million bucks that over 1/2 of the people there didnt have any idea who the fuck he was ...as i mentioned earlier, there was a blonde bitch screaming in praises..however the dumb bitch asked the dude beside me this one question "hey..is this tiesto???"

so u can imagine how many cluless idiots were there...
