Ok to start off, personally, I could not STAND the shadow boxes!!! I couldn't dance my normal self, I had to be more flowy for the sake of the shadow, and then they didn't have the podiums up yet when we got there. Ugh, issues!


Anyway, on to the boys though. Again.........Armin threw down another amazing set and rocked the house. Great vibe on the dance floor from what I saw, electro breaks, damn shadow boxes, I could of got my eagle on and poplocked better!!! Loved it.

Markus of course was dark and hard, the dance floor was still packed when he came on which was great!!!! I noticed though that Boris (who got the house busy), Markus and Armin played the same tunes.....hhmmmmmm??? Aw well. It's good to have an Armada night once again.....

Damn shadow boxes, I didn't perform up to par because of having to be more fluid. Sucks but oh well, more nights to come. Now...........what's your take on the night??

P.S

Awesome seeing all the TA's there!!!

Well, the shadow boxes were kinda cool on the other side. Especially when you see a dance pulling her bottoms off behind the shadow.. Makes you wonder.

Anyhow, after dealing with a line fiasco I finally got in around 10:20. Boris MD is opening it up, and I was surprised to hear him play some stuff I like. He did his job and set it up for Armin to have an amazing set. Armin was amzaing as usual. Especially liked Control Freak. Armin's set was right where it needed to be, with a lot of Sander van Doornish type of tracks. Loved every minute of it, and always want more. Especially liked Shadow World, Incogntion and Remember Me by Interstate!


I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Markus was closing, I haven't seen him close yet. Totally great closing set. Some very cool tracks, withan Electro sound to them. Markus really threw it! down, I danced more for Markus than Armin.. Killer tunes!

Other than that, my brain isn't working too good since I have been up now for like 28 hours.. With no "help".. Thats all for now.

Great seeing you through the shadows Des.

I so agree. What's with that? You could have had a movie playing on a sheet and it would have been the same effect. Now if the dancers were in front of the background with their images projected behind larger that life that would interesting. I did love all the dancers and I thought the outfits were great. And Deslyn you are a beautiful woman and move fabulously to the music. Take a bow.

Also the will call/wanttickets line has to be redone. With the technology available why have one person looking up everybody’s name on a sheet of paper. One person. Anybody ever heard of a scanner? I left the house with a nice buzz and by the time I eventually got in I was flat. Then Armin dropped the Kraftwerk "Computer Love" rework (It is not a Coldplay song!) and all was fine again.

Overall a really great night. Thanks to all who's efforts went in to put it on.

Must get back to work. I will chime in later.

Awesome night last night! We got there at 9:45 and walked right in with some help from a friend and the main stage wasn't even set up when we got in so we headed upstairs to grab some drinks and chill until Boris came on downstairs.

Went downstairs at I don't know what time and saw Michelle, Kris and Mike D. (nice to finally meet you DJFaded).

I have to say that I did enjoy listening to Boris but it sounded like it was a recording for 'a year in trance' or something..only a few songs that had me dancing good because they weren't overplayed tunes.

Armin came on as scheduled around 11:30 and pretty much owned the place throughout his set. I promised myself I'd stay downstairs and be front and center for Armin but half of his set I was up in VIP and we had bottle service so I couldn't pass it up. BUT when we dusted the Grey Goose it was straight back down to the front to see the rest of Armin and more importantly Markus!

Markus always tears the roof off in my opinion. I enjoyed Markus more than Armin last night and I loved Armin's set. Schulz just hits home with the hard, dark prog style and I love every second of it.

The only track I absolutely hated the whole night was Timo Maas - Pictures...why do DJ's spin that song? The track is great but the voals and lyrics are fucking retarded..isn't there a remix out yet that doesn't have the stupid ass vocals?

dez, just shot you a msg on myspace about the boxes... didn't realize u had posted the same thing here.

anyways, the club was wall to wall packed last night. I was all on vicodin's & ibuprofens because of my wisdom teeth but still the energy of the place totally lifted my mediocore state.

tracks i remember:

boris: R-Tem - Breathe!!!!!!!! (thanks!!!)
Air for life (airwave remix)

Armin: started off with Coldplay - Talk (Junkie XL Remix) - the place went mad
Deep Dish - Dreams (Axwell Remix) - which, i have this on CD-R now and it sounds nothing like the 5 piece guitar armin plays. regardless thats what his ASOT playlists say


there was much more, just drawing a blank. good seeing everyone

Indeed (except about the part about the track itself being great, as we argued over on DI) I asked Armin NOT to play that song before the show (because I knew he was planning to), but he did anyway And he followed it up with Interstate - Remember Me

I would add a comment about how it relates to pedophilia, but I've already received a death threat from an Armada guy for bringing this up

Well great to meet/see the TA's that I did. My crew had a fookin blast and it was fun cruising around the place to see all the remodelling (didn't go to the last 2 shows there).
Des you rocked the shadow. Great job even though you had to deal with that.
Boris always plays stuff I like. I'd go see him spin anytime. Armin was just excellent as this was my first time seeing him and I'll be there the next and next.. Markus was great for closing. He had a ton of energy and kept us going. My drunk ass jumped on stage to give him props ahahah. damn drunks.
Personally I'm even more stoked for Hernan now seeing how good of a vibe last night was. hope to see everyone there. Im going back to sleep now, my face hurts

Yeah because a dj really cares what one person has to say about his track selection.
