Well I was having a good time saturday night.
Firstly, I didn't find anything about the music to be extraordinary. I got lost in a few tracks which was nice, but it seemed to be the same music, same beat, same type, of trance with every DJ. I'd say I liked Rank 1's set the most, as usual, but either Piet didn't seem to be on his game, or he resisted with all his will not to play a prime-time set as he was the opener. I noticed the vibe in the Guv really changed once he dropped Jochen Miller - Brace Yourself, but felt like he couldn't pull it up from there. Stupid timeslots.
I completely zoned out for B&J's set, didn't care one bit for it really, trying to save energy to wait for MORPH to come on. So I won't even comment on their set.
Menno def played better than last time he was here, but he's still, imo, just a mid-rank dj who's entertaining to watch and listen too, but nothing special. But it was about half way through his set when I lost my camera and that's what killed my night. I was really upset. I'm usually so DAMN careful when I bring it out! But I think I was playing around with my new Blackberry I just wasn't thinking. I'm positive someone has stolen it, as I re-traced my steps and even had staff helping me (thanks Tim).
Anyway, I was hoping that once Alex came on it would lift my spirits a bit and help me forget about it. He started off pretty slow tbh. Not just because of the long intro into a breakbeat, but the first half hour I kept thinking that the beat needed to be faster! Well, that's what ya get for the last time slot I guess, trying to bring it down a notch before bringing it back up again. Stupid timeslots. We left halfway through his set, didn't think we were missing much.
I think there was too much "generic" trance that night, would have been nice to bring a more harder edged DJ as well to break it up a bit. Anyway, Vdub, finally nice meeting you! Some of my highlights was talking to random people about Trance Energy because of my shirt and a dude recognizing me as a DJ on the street afterwards LOL. Was great seeing all the crews again though (you know who you are), always fun times

First of all I would like to say to everybody : Thank you for coming to the guv last saturday!
Just to let you know I had a great time playing again in this wonderfull club.
For those who thought I didn't enjoy myself: When I am playing i am so concentrated what to play and how to mix good, that my face shows something like I don't care at all. Well, that's the problem of my face and it will probably always be this way when I am playing. Sorry for that.
My conclusion of saturday : For me, one of the best nights in the guv adn I hope to be back soon!

Agreed.. You were at work, did a great job and dont need to sell us your music by posing, smiling, gesturing, touching etc.
Aside from the terrible state of label whore djs who put out 2 hours of personal productions and all. I really detest the current 2-3 year trend of circus antics being churned out by these attention hungry laptop junkies. The bullshit that goes on in the booth is nothing but a circus act. Let the music do the talking. Every Dj is now selling a brand and a character. In a way, a lot of them act like professional wrestlers. The last thing i want to see is some Dj acting like jesus, puting their headphones in the air or creating some other retarted pose that serves no purpose but to evoke a reaction from the scenesters. Then you have this current trend of hand/finger hearts.. wtf? Is this a Miley Cyrus concert? Who wants to see a row of emotionally charged females up front anticipating when they will get their first/next chance at touching a Djs hand. Enough is enough, I would like to turn the clock back and put the booth back to where it belongs.
