Here is something that should clear everyone's heads...


TRANCE AT MAC is a charity organization affiliated with McMaster University to throw and organize Trance/Progressive/House events to raise money towards various causes. This one was Save Darfur.

It is really incredible how such a group unified many many dormant trance fans together to enjoy the company of each other. The promo team and organization committee for Trance At Mac with the help of Owen and Mark getting us the venue made it all possible!

And for TRANCE AT MAC to pop its cherry with a sold out crowd with not a single negative review (except a minor request for more house) makes its something truly amazing!

Never have I been to a crowd where the family environment was so great! When one person partied in that room, he partied with everyone chanting away and singing along.

on top of that, THE EVENT WAS NON-PROFIT!!
All profits will be donated to SaveDarfur.org!

i dont care what anyone says... THAT, is something you can show off and take pride in.

i dont care who you are but if you contributed to that night whether events planning, student promo team, venue organization, or one of the great fans contributing to the GREAT VIBE... THAT, is something you can show off and take pride in.

I hope everyone that got turned away at the door or interested in TRANCE AT MAC keeps their ears open for our next event as it will continue set the bar for the TRANCE SCENE in Hamilton! and this time the profits will be donated to a charity to help struggling Haiti.

feel free to check out http://www.tranceatmac.com as the new website will be full up very soon.

Originally posted by urban_legend I didnt know we were in Club court here, Owen I throw the book at you, then you can throw it back, then we can have a game of catch, and then a game of keep away from Mark

buahahah! classic. i was really wondering.. who makes up the TA jury? lol

I'm part of the Trance at Mac planning team and I can say that there really was no question that O Lounge was going to be our venue of choice. Me and the O Lounge team (Mark and Owen) are good friends who have been partying for a long time now, and I respect and admire their dedication to O Lounge and what they have built. O Lounge was the natural choice, and we jumped hurdles to throw a "mac" party at a club so far away from campus (by offering free bus shuttle service).

As far as the party goes, here are some reviews taken off our trance at mac facebook group:

quote:

"congradulations justin n john... awesome party... my voice is gone and i cant move! nice to see a trance scene developing in hamilton and at mac!" "i culd tell just by looking at every1 how psyched every1 was!!..amazing work justin n john....congratulations!!" "great party..the crowd was amazing the music was great.. i had an awesome time you guys should definately host another one. p.s thanks for playing empty streets " "highlight of my year. John and Justin both had fucking crazy sets. Great vibe, great club, amazing people. fucking legendary" "madness, madness.. i couldn't sleep because i drank to many redbull's. i can't move because i glow sticked to hard, i can't sweat because it was all to hot last night, and i can't wait till trance at mac part.2 begins. cheers everyone." "ya Last night was Awesome! the glow sticks were sick and the crowd was really upbeat and Pumpin! I must the DJ's were amazing though i really wanted to C Andi Gabala up there, maybe next time! Any way hope for many more trance nights at ultra" "what a great party. great success! good work to all who made this happen. cant wait for the 2nd one " "Guys it was an amazing Night music was at the best crowd was crazy...Thank u all for showing up with out u ppl this cudnt be done n we cant forget to mention our awsome Dj's they were the party Justin & John i salute u for the outstanding performance It was one of my best nights THANK YOU ALL..." " didn't get there until around 1:30, so missed the best of it from what i heard... but i was still impressed with the whole feel, and heard a lot of dope tracks.. will be sure to go to the next all the way from the top... but yea, great job guys " + many many more....

And if the reviews don't speak for themselves, the pictures sure do:

















There is already alot of hype for Trance At Mac part II

I think the above post speaks for itself on how great of a party it was. Just goes to show that those involved are not telling lies.

^^^^^^^^^^^
the pics say it all.. what a night!

OMG! Get over yourselves!!!

First of all O Lounge is by far one of the best clubs I have ever been to...the venue is fucking amazing and they are getting more and more great djs in there.....I love this place which is why I dedicated some of my time to get Greg and Carlo at O lounge...Would never recommend the place if I wasn't sure about it!!! (and no i don't work for the club in anyway...I'm just their mascot!!!!! LOL however you spell that)

Barcode is the first club I ever went to in Hamilton and was pleasantly surprised. Always had an amazing time and great djs in there as well.

It's so nice to see two venues do such an amazing night....whether its friday or saturday!!!!

I love all of you at O Lounge and Barcode...seriously guys...why is there such a rivalry all the time...if the music is what brings us together then what's the problem???

By the way...awesome pics!!! Wish I was there....

We should call this thread the Barcode/O ultra Thread.

I mean really i'm ok with another club in Hamilton.

There are residents and headliners. Obviously if one headliner plays at that club they can't play at the other one, for at least a month or 2. Thats because we need to keep the lineup special.

If O ultra wants to work with 246 and barcode I am open for suggestions.

There needs to be some teamwork and as mentioned many times we are very intrested in working with everyone like minded.

I've just launched another night in Oshawa in the same respect, so we now have 2 Sat night events on the oposit sides of Toronto. How cool is that

Not to try to stir up the pot anymore, but I found O Lounge to be more welcoming and friendly than Barcode. I work at a club so I cant get out to clubs til Im done around 3. I've never had a problem doing that at O lounge, but at Barcode last week I was told by a bouncer that it closes at 3am, which clearly is not the case. $20 seemed to change his mind in a hurry, not my idea of a "for the people" club. The beats are definately intense at Barcode, and they should welcome people from the industry coming afterhours. No club courtesy is accepted at Barcode either, the only one in Hamilton I've had a problem with.

Thank you for your post. We would love to open our doors to you and provide you with our industry Club246 Courtesy Card.

Please fill out the information and we will mail you a card.

Your name will be at the Front door with a Numbered sequence.
