Originally posted by DJ_Elyot Nonono, I genuinely mean that essentially all the tracks he played, except perhaps a few in the last 30 minutes or so, had melodic breakdowns followed by hard drops with no melodic climax and zero chord progression after the kicks hit. In essence, he played tech-trance tunes with melodic breakdowns, as opposed to more typical hands-in-the-air fluffy-bunny trance like he played last time he was here.

I'll bet there WAS chord progression. You just couldn't hear it over the BOOM BOOM BOOM when the bass kicked in because Guv turns the bass dial to +20

Hahahah no. There were plenty of chord progressions in the last half hour when he switched from tech-trance to trance. The bass actually wasn't that bad; generally I just move around the dancefloor until I find a spot with acoustics that I like. There are some hot spots on the guv dancefloor where the bass really resonates; I tend to avoid those.

i noticed in some area's the bass was really loud and sounded like the highs were weak most of the night at guv, anyone else notice the same thing as me?

Every single week, between 12 and 4am. Welcome to Guv!

i don't hold myself out as someone who is worthy of criticizing world-class dj's but this is my take:

-can't believe rank 1 started at 11pm - i actually wanted to hear him and i caught some of his set on Z103 before i arrive - sounded pretty sweet

-i thought gareth emery was really good - he played some cheese but not over the top cheese. The sound levels were good and it seemed like everyone around me had a good time. I thought his style was tasteful and flowed seamlessly for the most part

-menno started off decent but I can't really comment - consistent with what most people said, the bass was retarded loud. I was with some friends by the stair/washroom area and it sounded terrible. I tried to hear the tracks and from what I could hear, the track selection was decent. That being said, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt since I've seen him play well before.

GUV sound techs should not fuck with the bass so much - it absolutely ruins a great set when all you can hear(and feel) is bass...

Overall - i though the crowd was better than usual (no hostility, less pushing compared to usually, and slightly more room to dance.). I definetly thought it was worth my $20 bucks

As a side note - i brought some friends who don't actually listen to trance and had never (ever) visited guv before - THEY WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE QUALITY OF THE SOUND (before menno) and the vibe of the club...it made me realize that so many of us take guv for granted...it really is a special treat we shoudl all cherish
