did you take a look at the crowd around you by any chance???
everyone was g'ing out and shitfaced...nobody looked normal...everyone either partied at Lawler or the boat or even both...such a fucking sad scene...I came in fresh and had a fucking blast!

Also, it's a patio event. Don't forget that.

ill try to make this short

got there around 2 and the main room wasnt as packed as usual but that could because it wasnt canada day or a long weekend. pretty minimal beats.. the openers were horrible and sounded really off. i got really bored really easily and i was itching to get up to skybar. bouncers werent letting anyone up until 4am which was really annoying. im not sure why, but the last few times ive been there its usually been around 2am. maybe because skybar was at capacity but whatever. lawler dropped a pretty sick track at 3:41. dont know what was but it was probably one of the best he played in the main room. after reading speculations on his performances in the main room prior to going into this event it pretty much sums up that he cant or doesnt rock the main room like any other room ive seen him in. TIL in november and circa on nye were much better. the last two times hes been here. The crowd wasnt that great... but more asians than normal (or maybe i just havent been there in a long time to remember). too many n00b sketches make me want to stop going to places like these.

4am i went up to the drink only to see it empty and no line up to go to skybar. which was a big surprise because in previous years there were long line ups to get to skybar at this time. Skybar was packed but not like previous lawler experiences. it took a while but he finally got on. overall he played good beats but the calibre of the party wasnt up to previous years. maybe because ive been to every lawler/skybar party, maybe because im losing it in the scene maybe because i cant stand people pushing/shoving me i dont know. i had a lot of fun mind you and he did play some good tracks that did make me want to get up and dance. i closed it out like any other lawler and i got home around 8. i found the crowd wasnt as into it as previous years ie. hand in the air... people jumping up and down etc.

although this review may seem a bit neutral or on the negative side it was actually a good party, maybe my experience wasnt as great as the next persons. most of my usuals that would come to this party weren't there so i didnt have the experience with them. im just glad i didnt blow a bunch of money on this night and im happy cover was only $25.

7/10

Even the g-outs and sketchbags could still appreciate good music tho

lawler was OK in main room.. he played some good stuff but was a little bit all over the place though.. the vibe is usually off in that room anyways..

p.s. that nous sommes track is brutal, a lot of people are playing it for some weird reason, fanciulli, villalobos, lawler, vath, etc.. all collectively tripping out imo lol..

SKYBAR on the other hand I thought was perfect. Haven't heard a set like that years in Toronto.. Mixing, flow, and overall vibe was virtually flawless.. Heavy, groovy, sexy basslines.. He was definitely ready for this gig and in top form.. I remember people's hands were up during almost every track.. and he properly calmed the set down near the end.

lawler skybar > lawler mainroom

track of the night:

I don't think this song should be played by anyone for that matter. It's the kind of track that would make me walk away from a party.
