Johan deserved a much bigger attendance than that. If I were him I would have been a bit disheartened that the club was only half full. But not Johan, from the minute he got on he was smiling, posing for pics and really pumping up the crowd. From what I could see, the crowd responded very well to his efforts to interact with them. You could be playing the best tracks in the world but as a DJ if you don't have that connection with your audience, your set will not be memorable to them. This certainly will be memorable for me. That’s all I have to say. |
I think the fact that Johan was still so into it, lots of crowd interaction, always smiling etc... despite the fact that he doesn't have a huge crowd says alot about his professionalism. He truly played for his fans (or at least the true fans of trance music).
Overall, his mixing IMHO is "meh." No obvious trainwrecks to me, but nothing spectacular. I think (as alot of others seem to do), that his talent or forte really lies in his production skills. Think about how many classic tracks and timeless trance anthems bear the "geilen" or Airscape name!
What a crowd difference compared to the Guv! Seemed like a lot of younger people, but everyone seemed really cool. Great to meet you NRG2infinit, I've seen you on these boards for quite a while but now I'll recognize you at parties! I was also glad to bump into Maxtuh. I came with Boytrance and we arrived shortly after 12.
Call me an audiophile, but I wasn't that fond of the sound that night. I like to hear Crisp mids and highs and CLEAR basslines.
Free beers! Can I say any more! I got two free cans of blue, 12 dollars admission, great lights and tons of room to dance, not very hot in there either. All in all a great party!
I'll be going back to the docks for sure .
