Holy fuck. Just AMAZING party. Wicked seeing a shitload of you again. I always love it when this time of year comes around. Markus Schulz fucked killed it, Digweed rocked it, Blank and Jones tore KH a new asshole, AvB was good but I left shortly after he came on (seen him numerous times before). Cheers, see you @ Guv 9 year.

Since I couldn't go, I watched the entire thing live-stream from ETN.FM while in the chat.

TOTALLY saw some TA faces and erupted as I should to represent you guys in the chat to everyone.

Andrea
Laura
Fahad
Theresa

Everyone was looking to find Lisa to see if she made it in there but, the crowd was INSANE. The video feed was unbelievable.

Markus was great... mixing was a touch off but I"m sure you guys didn't notice there at the club. Highlights from Markus...

When he dropped "Without You" the chat went wild. I love this tune except wish it was the vocal mix.

Without you near.... nearly a tear to my eye.

Then later ADRENALINE!! Cale I was looking for you but didn't see you... I KNEW you'd be losing it to this.

Here is his full tracklisting;

Markus Schulz Live From Kool Haus in Toronto
01. Hammer & Bennett - Language (Santiago Nino Dub Tech Mix)
02. Wippenberg - Earth
03. Dogzilla - Without You (Dub Mix)

15. Oceanlab - Satellite (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Remix)

Then Grayarea came on. Have to say they were an interesting bunch but to be honest I really didn't know what to expect. Feedback was pretty harsh at times and the vocalist seems to have a pretty monotone voice. I remember him doing a rock-star scream and everyone in the chat going "Oh goodness, I hope he doesn't start a screaming dance song".

We could only ID one track from them and it was of course the last, "Gravity".

Then... we could see the little heads poking out from behind the DJ booth... it was Blank and Jones. Their entrance alone made me upset and annoyed that I made the decision not to go to this. Cale you were right... they destroyed the place. They were just wild.

I was nearly singing to myself here at home when "Perfect Silence" was dropped. The chat was erupting over and over during the build. We even commented that we should have saved it and sent B&J the transcript.

Their full tracklisting here:

Blank & Jones Live From Kool Haus in Toronto
01. Blank & Jones - City of Angels
02. ID
03. ID

16. Purple Haze - Adrenaline
17. The Police - SOS (Sander Van Doorn Bootleg)
18. Blank & Jones - Cream (Paul Van Dyk Remix)
19. Blank & Jones - Mind of the Wonderful

Then the camera panned right... and who else would it pan to than none other than Armin. Standing in the shadows waiting to go on with a wicked grin on his face. He could see the crowd, he could see their energy.

By this time, everyone was on their feet, hands in the air, and I could tell by the faces that they were screaming their heads off. TOTA REPRESENT UP FRONT AND CENTER. WE KNEW it was you guys going wild. You could totally tell.

His signature smile, signature dancing and incredible mixing made this night go so well. Armin thank you for such an amazing set. Much better than Decedance2 IMO.

I loved how he fast forwarded to his favorite part to get things moving because he know he had to go. And then as the second encore came on and they began to turn it off, you could see him yelling "OH COME ON" and it came back on.

Such a great night. Hope you all had an AMAZING time.

Special thanks to EVERYONE at ETN.FM and for everyone involved to make this happen. GREAT night

there is nothing i can say that has not already been said. Mr. Endgame here...desribed my feelings perfectly.

It was amazing at every corner you'd turn there was a TA raving his/her life away. Great to once again look around and see everyone with their hands in the air singing at the top of their lungs.

when markus threw down oceanlab..the biggest smile was seen on his face. everyone was singing...so he killed the mid range and u could hear the crowd take over. not to mention Ridgewalkers - Find...got my emotions pumping...*sigh* soooo gooooood. i love him i love him!!!! markus played exactly what i wanted to hear.....trance. which was sooooooo goood to hear. so i danced my heart out.

i have to say that it was nice travelling all the way to the skybar, only because i have never been to the guvernment while it was all access...i don't think i could have gotten a better tour. In each room the beats were pounding, creating a perfect example of each mood and atmosphere.

getting back to the KH was i have to say ... amazing we got there almost right in time for blank and jones. very very very happy. they played some siiiiick tunes...that made me want to never stop dancing. when i did....in our lil TA corner of the bar ... a bunch of us were dancing in our seats...with hands in the air, i died...and kinda stuck to a leather bench....hmmm swweat!!!! by the way dreamland 2005 - nu nrg - kiiiillllled me !!!! drew [endgame] and i looked at eachother with HUGE smiles on our faces and rocked out.

i have to say i really love the energy blank and jones kept up....even when people started screaming armins name during their last track. they still overcame it and had a killer ending. kudos to them for overcoming the crowd and smiling at the energy they had accomplished at the end of their set...
there was this energy in the crowd and iono...it felt good (and no i wasnt on drugs) it was just realizing who i was with, where i was....and how much i love the music.there was this energy in the crowd and iono...it felt good (and no i wasnt on drugs) it was just realizing who i was with, where i was....and how much i love the music.

i think the mood changed after blank and jones left the stage. i felt tension in the crowd and instead of people dancing their lives away and enjoying every beat as it passed through them, people were pushing to get closer to armin and not nice pushing but ruthless elbowing.

i have to say that during armin i have never been stepped on soo many times in my life...i have no more toes, they have left me and are gone. i won't even start about my chest getting elbowed...hit. etc. wahooo for being short and right about the right height for people to abuse the lil asian shorty. *sigh*

no matter what anyone else says i love armin...!!!
sick track selection ....
in all the night stole my life away... i loved it.

i danced my life away...my feet are gooooone....and i want to go back.

ps. amazing video clip TRANCEEEE!!!! brought me right back to the KH. wahoooooooooo.

can't wait to see more pics.

One word. Breakalicious

Awsome party, great people, great vibe

AMAZING SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!

Everyone has hit it dead on except for those people that started the thread off by complaining...there was lots of room for me when i was dancing but it was very hot very very hot!!!!

I got to the koolhaus at 9 and left at 8:30 the best money i have ever spent!!!! Almost 12 hours of partying!! The best part of the night was being taken backstage to the VIP rooms with Grayarea for drinks and chilling out...spent a good 3-4 hours back there talking with Marcus Schultz, Blank & Jones, and Grayarea.....those guys are wicked and rocked the place!!

I would have to say that the music got better as the night went on Mark Oliver owned with his set and then Schultz stepped it up and so did every DJ to follow!!!

FACK!!!! Want to relive that night again sooooooo bad it was definately a night that i will never forget!!!

Fayraree u da man and it was nice to finally meet ur fiance! And great seeing all the familiar TA faces: Playa, Laura, RobbyG, Vertigo,Natalie, Barry, Tamiko and all the others that i failed to mention sorri!!!

Cant wait til the next time!

RTT & DJ Baby Tenshi signing off

What a great night.

Got in about 10:30 with basically no line-up at all. Went straight over to Kool Haus as I knew that is where I wanted to be. Mark Oliver was solid as usual and had me dancing within the first 5 minutes.

Then Markus comes on a tears it up for me and my feet wouldn't stop moving.

Moral Hazard and our buddies decided we would go check out Diggers but as soon as we hit the Guv doors we knew we weren't staying.....it was so packed that you couldn't even move. We decided to get back to Kool Haus and watch Grayarea. I wasn't sure what to expect but after infected mushroom I thought what the hell. Personally, I enjoyed their performance. I know it is not everyone's thing but they tore it up....I think it just takes me back to my younger rock days

Then Blank & Jones.....what can be said. They were masterful and stole the show from Armin. I don't think my feet stopped moving.

By the time Armin got on the decks my legs were dead....serves me right for injuring myself on the dance floor on Friday

I was able to tear it it up for the first two hours but between my legs giving out and the heat I spent the last two hours just bobbing my head in the corner.

All and All....a great night. Can't wait for Guv 9 with Carl Cox.

I read most of the posts and the intresting point is that most of you guys didn't even go to DEEPDISH's set!
Well let me start mine, i was supposed to go to LOL with 2 freinds and meet 4 other of my freinds in the main room. We arrived there at 11:30 and my freinds were on gustlist ,but guestlist gut closed and the guy saied no tickets ,u don go in,,,but i had a ticket and my freinds didn't so i went inside alone.
Bythe time i gut in Grayarea were playing live,,and me excited started my dancin for about 20 minutes.. But nomatter what i didn't wanna miss DD so around 1:30 i went to john digweed's .it was pretty nice music..
i started my dancing with my blue glowsticks at the main room and desided not to go back to KH cause it took me half an hour to get from KH to guv , and i didn't wanna miss good songs in the halls ,so i waited in my good spot for DD to come.
ALi came to spin first .before i used to love them but this time i just realized the weak music they were playing.. But i loved shahram's set from 7-8 ,it was sick.. But in total i am so disappointed from LOL.everything went bad,and i couldn't find any of my freinds ,and some bastords pissed me of ...
It was really disappointing

Blank & Jones - one of the better sets of the night. With that said, it was good but not amazing. At least it was real trance. Armin - when I first heard his set at guv 8 year I loved it and that was one of the best sets I've ever heard. But tonight, well....I'm not really sure what to say. For those of you who consider that good trance, I disagree. I LOVE trance, but I hesitate before calling what Armin spun real trance. Yes, it had the same stucture but lacked the true journey that I like from trance. I am going to say again that trance is my very favorite genre of music. I respect Armin for the set he threw down at guv 8 year but I don't think I need to see him anymore. A personal note: really good full out trance is actually quite fast. Most 'trance' out there now is much more proggy. While this may be nice to listen to sometimes it's just not the same. Also trance is about taking a musical journey, many times uplifting you (mostly but not as much with all styles). If a trance set does not take me on that journey then imo it's not a very good trance set/good trance.

totally agree.. armin wasn't the same, he dropped lots of tech bang bang pots and pans.. few tracks were good, but blank n jones - cream ... they read my mind.

also, the place looked like an average night at guv/koolhouse. we paid $10 - 15 - $20 events like these. at least decorate the place, give it some vibe. the pixelated screens were cool.

a refusal of a cup of water from the bartenders was inhumane.

You know the night was gonna be insane when it wasn't even 11:30 and a few of us were already losing our minds due to the quality of the music being played

TRANCEEE man amazing pictures, and still downloading the video can't wait...I see my hands in the air in many of those shots haha

There were many many photographers there last night, does anyone know what website were they shooting for? Specifically there was a guy that always takes pics at the Guv, he's Asian. Anyway he took a pic of Pett and I and I'd love to see it


PS

It was awesome singing "Till there was you" with Shanny, Pett, MagikB, and cereal
