Deko-ze --> sleepy??? wow, of all the things :P.. anyhow, here's my substantially late review.
I ended getting into the Kool Haus around 1130, MAD PROPS to John aka 321K13L for the list hook-up! Definately saved me an hour in the snowy, snowy line. Considering my crazy friend was wearing sandals (don't ask), he was very thankful as well.
It's a shame addy broke his arm and couldn't spin alongside deko-ze, i was really looking forward to seing them duke it out on four decks. I ended up catching the last thirty minutes of deko-ze's set, and all i have to say is that i love that man (in a strictly musical sense of course :P). His set was full of hard house goodness, and it put me in a great mood for the whole evening.
I didn't stay for much of Gabriel and Dresden's set, I am a fan of their work, but i did not enjoy all of the vocal trance that was played. A couple songs after "beatiful things" (love that tune), i headed down to charlies to catch DJ C3PO's old-school-breaks set. Even though i didn't know a bunch of the tracks (before my time ), i really enjoyed his set. Caught a bit of Angus Robinson's set, he spun a bunch of nu-school breaks.
Got back to the KH just in time for Infected Mushroom. Their set was definately the highlight of my night . This was my first time seeing IM, and they lived up to every expectation that i had of them. Their hard, dirty beats coupled with the DJ's energy kept me going for the whole 100ish minutes of their set. My only dissapointment was that they didn't play their remix of the "Requiem for a Dream" song...
Journeyed back to Charlies to catch the end of D-Monic's set.. it was pretty good. He spun "kelis - milkshake (X-Press 2 remix [i think]), which is always a good track. When charlies closed ~430? i went back to hear the rest of Piet Bervoets' set. I don't like cheesy trance, and i expected to hear a bunch of it, but Piet kept it mostly cheese free (Airwave *cough*, etc.).
Saw a couple of TA's: 321K13L, psyrage (alex?), natalie, and grahamn (sp?), good to see/meet you all. Overall, my night was awesome; the music GREAT, and so was the crowd. Aside from that, the event was executed very well: there were no lines between rooms, each DJ set was right on time, and it was never TOO crowded in either the KH or charlies (dunno about the guv). The guv did a great job with this one, props to them!
