when I got there prydz was just starting... at first he was brutal, playing melodic tracks that were too slow. but half an hour later the room went off when he played rymd... and it was great from there. he played a lot of his own tracks and prog with electro & old school basslines.. he even threw sweet dreams and blue monday in his set had much more cohesion than the one he played this time last year
when sander came on he played a chemical bros track.. def killed the 4/4 vibe that was going on, people just got confused haha. but he picked it up again with more synthy bassline style prog (sasha style i guess).. ron hardy said (eric prydz remix) and everything you touch (sasha remix) gave me eargasms, and a bunch of similar songs that i wish i had IDs for.. he switched it up a bit too with some techno and tribally grooves once in awhile, never really got boring at all
and prydz antics were indeed hilarious... at one point he was chugging a 26er of grey goose in one arm and was dry humping sander while he was mixing.. i was waiting for him to fall off the outer edge of the dj booth he was stumbling over
i only fit in about an hour of ferry, but people are right about it not being the style at all of his last 2 years. it seemed to be genuine trance, he ditched the poppy stuff of LEF/passport to USA which seemed like it was his unique sound when i was into him in 06-07.
i went into the night with little expectations and they were exceeded, for once everything just fell into place.. crowd was alright but perfect amount of people. $50 at the door did seem a little steep but good thing there were tons of $25 tickets on wantickets even 3 days away from the event :P
