From what I realize here is that the ppl that weren't there didn't like it because of it lack of tune selection and mixing skills and from those who were there they did love it!
And I was there and enjoyed every second!!! The style has changed a bitt over the years but that's just natural... Everything has a evolutution, even TE!
We started off with some of Cor's tunes and he was pretty najz but it was still pretty little ppl that had showed up that early...
Then we heard some of Jean and as usual he kinda "plays" rather than mixes the tunes and that is really funny! But it was REALLY fukked up mixing out "Pocket Damage" just when it's gonna get started to "Dark Monks"... REALLY BAD!!!
But then Tomcraft made me realize how good he is off the variety of tunes!!! Does anyone agree? I mean from pounding out techno stuff right into "Plastic Boy - Silver Bath" That was sooooo COOL!!! You just have to be there to realize!!! Tomcraft spun the best set I've ever been to judging on the atmoshpere because of his variety! Not from trscklist perspective though... Must say that the best point of the evening was when he throwed out "Zombie Nation"!!! WOOOOOOOOT!!!

Cygnus X was nothing to see at all, but kinda cool...

Kai Tracid smashed out a lovely HARD set!!!
Gielen was ok... Better last year... But some really lovely tunes and moments... Cosmic Gate was also ok but also better last year... Maybe too many melodic tunes there for a while... It was cool when they fooled everyone on "The Truth" also :P

So what I think is that this party was "DA BOMB"!!! Had sooooooo fun!!!
I think of it every second of the day now!!! Longing baaaaaack!!!


BTW...
I was on TE in Jaarbeurs last year and on Mystery Land also last year so I have something to compare with...

I came all the long way from Sweden just for Trance Energy.... this was my first really big party and I had SO MUCH FUN !!! I really enjoyed all the DJs I saw which was

Cor Fijneman
Tomcraft
Kai Tracid
Johan Gielen
Cosmic Gate

Cygnus X was a dissapointment though... Ok, I love their tunes but it was deffenetly not "live"

Afterwards the whole party I was SO tired in my legs... Danced from 22 to 7 in the morning... and did it without any drugs... I get in trance and I can dance the whole night anyway...


I also had my video camera inside so I have over 2 hours of film that I will realese when it´s been edited

For thoose who wasn´t even there, don´t complain at the party. If you would have been there you would have enjoyed it as much as I did. I say you don´t know what you missed... I heard that Marcel Woods was reallt great too...



Next time miss_proximus have to join the swedish TA crew to the party but it was very fun meeting up with you in Utrecht hugs to you
and BTW... I saw some of Joop when he played.... he got really good response

Take Care All... c-ya / Steve

Just heard the set.

Cygnus X: Only own singles in trackselection, average mixing. Not bad, not good. 6/10.

Cosmic Gate: Above average trackselection, fair mixing BUT double trainwreck Would have expected better. 6/10

DJ Joop: Nice tracks, okay mixing. Did pretty good for a "up-commer" (read: not-as-known-as-the-other-liveacts-spinning). 7/10

Johan Gielen: Started of kicking major butt in every direction, but then lost his flair throughout his set. Going from first track "Greece 2000 (G&M mix)" to last track "RHCP - By the way" is a looong way down 7/10

Tomcraft: Now what the hell is this. Okay selection, but he his transitions are VERY poor... Throw him of the stage and get Kai Tracid up there instead.. 4/10

___________________

i finally listened to the tomcraft liveset, which i have only half of for some unknown reason... my god, what was he thinking? lol, playing kernkraft 400, ffs! wtf was that all about? and some of the transitions left me in the "wtf was that?" state. i think he had fun with it though. either that or he didn't try at all and was bored.


p.s. i kinda like the set, it's rather energetic, although the mixing could be better. it would've been wicked to be there and hear it on a huge sound system with 44,999 other people around you

especially during tracks like these i would've wanted to be there for!

11. Daft Punk--Rollin & Scratchin' (sounds similar to DJ Marko Milano - Stopp & Go; both sound wicked at high volume)

15. Electrochemie LK - Schall (mint bass!)

16. DJ Tomcraft - Prozac (i would've gone nuts and pissed my pants, especially if he played the Tony H Yeah remix, which he should've done, although the original is good too)

19. Sharpside--Wave Cruising (one of my favs)
