^^ the song is Origene - Sanctuary..dont know the remix Marco v played though, banging track nonetheless..

onto my review....first i want to thank John for guestlist.
Marco V played a banging set throughout, loved the flow.
AP was not my style so didnt check them out really, but they acted like crack heads from what i saw.
Caught some of Mike's set but by the time he came on, i was exhausted from a long day and Marco V destroying us earlier on.

bring on Labour of Love!

first off, for all you tight asses who get pissed because astral were drinking, you guys are losers! durafei, stop beating around the bush and explain to us all, in words we can understand what exactly they did that was "unforgivable". as far as i can remember (and i didnt have a drop of alcohol in my system), their set was great, and the drinking made it all more enjoyable, and felt like they were tripping along with us. durafei, i have a few coffee shops you can check out where drinking is completely prohibited, for example i hear the second cup on church and college is quite fine. i hear fridays are good. in addition, for all of yous who dont have the guts to describe whatever it is you want to, astral projection have provided us with a perfect example of israeli party culture, hense, the reason eilat, israel is tiesto's favorite place to dj. people like durafei is one of the reasons djs dont come to toronto more often.

Hm.. I've actually lived in Israel for about 4 years, and have some idea of Israeli culture.. As far as I remember, bothering other DJs while they are playing IS NOT PART OF THAT CULTURE !

I have no problems with them drinking during their performance, whatever. But getting trashed like that. I've never seen any other high-paid DJs do that before, that is what shocks me.

Inviting 10 drunk people to the DJ booth calls for trouble, and if it wasn't for the bouncer there'd be at least 15 people there by the end of the night. You know what happens when so many people are in the DJ booth ? "Technical difficulties" - that's what happens.

BTW, I did enjoy their set. Astral Projection is probably the reason I'm listening to Trance now.

While I'm at it I might as well write a full review of this party.

Came to the party tired and exhausted, not having slept since friday morning. Wandered around until Dekoze came on. He played allright, but I was too dead to enjoy.

Then.. Marco V comes on. The place goes nuts ! I honestly haven't seen Kool Haus go nuts like this EVER! And that craziness continued pretty much until the end of the night. Fuckin' AWESOME, especially compared to Friday night at WEMF, where nobody was dancing. Marco V played a great banging tech-house/tech-trance/techno set. It was slightly monotone, but still outstanding !

Astral Projection came on around 2:30. I enjoyed their set, hearing all those classics(Mahadeva, Let there be light) on a great sound system was awesome. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, their behaviour left much to be desired - so I was somewhat dissapointed with them.

Mike was on around 4:30. Absolutely brilliant ! I always knew that Mike was an awesome producer, but I was kind of sceptical about his DJing skills. My specticism was proved unjustified. Mike delivered an awesome set with great mixing. Hearing all those classics from the man himself - it was incredible !

Too bad Kool Haus was shut down around 6:20. I wouldn't mind another hour of Mike's set

just cuz u dont like something doesnt mean its shit. Id like to see who thinks psytrance is shit. May be u went to the wrong party, Astral Projection is no "Hammer" or MC DANNY D from z103.5 next time check where u are going. Any1 who likes trance knows that AP spins pure psy why would u even attend the event if u dont like it? idiot may be the reason KH cleared out is cuz all the fags like u went to the orange room.

I got there @ 1:30am.. fuckin DVP was closed south of bloor..

i came in, Marco V was bangin it out... I liked his set, hard and techy.. he closed off his set with katana - in silence (txitxarro remix), that was wikked, love that track... that build up by the end is just insane

Astral Projection was ok... nothing special IMO.. they played hard too, but i like Infected Mushroom 100x more.. got right beside their booth during their "Live PA", and yeah, and didnt see them playing anyhting on the keyboards lol... i didnt mind their drinkin much, but getting plastered like that is a bit going overboard. I dont care that they do it, just dont let it affect what we're paying for. Theyre still there to do a job and they could of been more professional about it. Doesnt mean they cant party along and have a good time tho. Moderation. The ppl partying dont even go around spraying ppl with alcohol and drinkin outta the bottle.

Left the KH, went to guv for a while, Dave Ralph was playing some good tunes The guv was kicken. A lot more packed than the KH. Didnt stay long. I noticed a funky smell in the orange room everytime i went from Guv/KH LOL.

Wasnt too fond of the "israel, israel" Chants after AP was done, and MIKE was about to start. I didnt mind the flag at all.. Actually i liked it when infected was here. But the chants i felt were uncalled for at that time.. others were chanting PUSH/MIKE, cuz he was gonna start then all i hear is "israel, israel" common.. obviously not the right time

Push, well, simply put, PUSH WAS THE SHIT! Incredible.. He started off a lil slow, then got harder really quickly. I loved his set... Great mixing, great flow, great tracks Trance the way i like it. Played lots of good tunes, and some push classics too. live another life, the legacy, naranja, somebody (FC mix), just kick (CC mix), never (not the whole track, but beginning), strange world

i left a lil after 6... funn party...

Astral Projection left me kinda freaked out.......after their set was over I seen them walking though the crowd (running into people cause they were so fucking drunk).....somebody stoped them and congratulated them on the set....then the one guy (the crazy ass that was wasted...don't know their names) cups the back of the guys head and lays a big phat wet kiss on the dudes cheek and then just walked off......the kid just looked at me with this confused look on his face.

yeah my gf and i were watchin that guy runnin around the KH, wondering wtf he was doing LOL...

a) Liked Marco V, but didn't love him as much as the people I was with (MarkT and trancekyd this means you).
b) Didn't get Astral Projection (and please nobody accuse me of being anti-israeli... I just prefer my DJs to be sober enough to actually perform without hitting the wrong buttons or accidently knocking the needle off the record. I was happy they decided to just play an old set off their laptop about 30 minutes into the performance... At least that way the music didn't stop quite so often).and why everything had to stop (ie. total silence for 10 minutes) while they set up the keyboards they never used is beyond me. Totally ruined my buzz. I headed over to the patio for a bit after an hour.
c) M.I.K.E. rocked. Anyone who stayed till the end heard about 20 minutes of the best tracks I've ever heard at Guv.

Again, I had an outstanding time. I was extremely exhausted from work when I got in, so I felt like a lame duck during Deep Groove's set....his last track was an eye opener though. Dekoze, what can say what I haven't said about Michael but he's my favourite local right next to Mark (he will never slip out as my fave...and it is Mr.Oliver for the years of training). ....Marco V.....I wish he would cut out the cheesy vocal tracks...but he always redeems at the end killing us with hard tech trance. Waaaaay to early for Marco V to go on, maybe I would have enjoyed to more if he would have gone on later.

...and to fiasco with Astral. Okay I came from a metal, hardcore background so drunkness and stupid behaviour is all good to me. Their performance solidified that psy is favourite genre of trance and I would have to rank it the best set of the year so far....the best of the year for fun factor fo sho. My last years fave set was Infected Mushroom at guv on my birthday and this was jus' as good....hard, greatly produced tracks and lots of trippyness (not afraid of that!) without the cheese factor, IMO. If anyone saw me last night, you prolly saw me all over the place....jus givn'r as I always do.

Push was amazing and I'm really pissed Rich (247)didn't get to see it. I think he would have been blown away as its one of his idols. M.I.K.E was expert in working the crowd as EVERYONE was into his set.

Its always great seeing the usual suspects (Tordan, Durafei etc)as a good company always brings a good time, NO MATTER WHAT!
Nice to party with you Summer21 and your faincee is awesome ...dood totally has his shit together and I see a good companionship there and great future.
Good to see peeps from long drives (DC, NY) Vtec Junkie etc.
Now to rest and healing......cuz next weekend is double trouble cuz its my bday......cherry sat night, and JOOF sunday.
