For quite some time I have dreamed of seeing my favorite DJ/Producer Rank 1 in Miami. Last month I talked to Seasunz about possibly setting up a gig and in about a weeks time, with help from Seasunz and Tim of David Lewis Productions and some help from Michelle (sweetcandy girl) from LATA, we had a party set up.

Rank 1, Groove Eric and Seasunz @ Metropolis.

What happened last night wasn't exactly what we had in mind.

Due to circumstances way, WAY beyond me and Seasunz' control (namely Metropolis shutting down), we had to try and find another venue for this highly anticipated party, or end up cancelling it. Seasunz and I spent a great deal on the phone yesterday, answering calls and texts. At virtually the last minute, Seasunz had acquired the Pawn Shop in downtown Miami as our last resort. We accepted it, despite the fact Piet of Rank 1 would only be given two hours to play, and Groove Eric and Seasunz wouldn't be able to play at all.

Even that didn't go through.

Some dipshit child of a man kept pestering Piet during his set in the dj booth, and so we only got a one hour set, but it still owned all of the place and us FLTAs with tunes delivered such as

Life Less Ordinary
Airwave

And a tune which Mel went nuts to. Give us an ID, sis?

To that guy who kept on pestering Piet and had him leave the DJ booth without completing his two hour set, may I offer you a sincere

FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE.


To Piet of Rank 1: Thank you for giving my FLTAs a small taste of what I've experienced seeing you in L.A. twice and Toronto once. Everyone loved your set...I was asking because I wanted everyone to be satisfied. It was an extreme pleasure seeing you and chatting with you again.

To Benno: A very sincere pleasure meeting and chatting with you for the first time ever. I hope to meet you again.

To Seasunz: I want to offer you my thanks for helping me get this gig set up. Hopefully next time there will be less shadyness on certain people's part. You're a great guy, man.

And to Mel, Damon, Groove Eric, Ivan (DJ Relik), Amber (trancebrat), Terry Bones, Carlos (nfkted), Spacemasters, Felipe (LiquidX), Mike (Mr. Jangles), Doug and Maribel (DJ Douglas, trancemonkey10), PaulvanDykism, Steve (Freek096), Rodrigo (elecmfreak), Manny (MJM420), Vic (DigitalPhoenix), Leon (tranceman23), Nelson (DRILLYOU), yogi bear, John Paullino....to everyone, a very sincere THANK YOU for coming out to support this party, despite the massive, unwelcome last-minute changes. I'll never forget it. Pics to come in the next post.

Benno is such a great guy to talk to. Had the pleasure to meet both. WE were there to support and we did. W.e the circumstances that played out during the night... all I can say is that I hope I could've seen more of him

So many negatives on so many levels. The stars and planets were not aligned last night. Yet we were able to suck it up, and made the best out of the situation and had a good time regardless. Hopefully next time things work out much better. Many thanks to Seasunz for all his work in trying to put this together and to all the people who came out to support! Without you guys, there is no party!!! Till the next one.....

How dare a "International DJ, Producer" take play time away from one of south Florida’s long time DJ.



The shame!



I would of have had Alien man escorted out as soon as I saw him huffin’ and puffin’











Someone told me that Mr. Alien Signal looked like he was having a titty-ditty fit in the DJ booth. - WOW -

I hope he has the excuse to say he was on some medication that caused him to act in that manner, and be such a baby. But I am not surprised.

. I brought up this guy’s integrity up on cooljunkie a while back, everyone of course jumped on the band wagon and started to stay I was hating on a popular radio station and DJ. I knew it was a matter of time before he tripped on his own shit. Oh well, I hope that Rank1 and some type of understandability in this matter and doesn’t hold some negative thought about Miami because of Mauricio. I don’t care for how many years or if you have the balls to start you a pirate radio station, if you suck; you suck and respect those that do a better job and not over step your boundaries especially an international DJ that has a great rep for this work.

Sad part is that people will keep booking Mauricio because he might do it for free, or give some ad space on his broadcasting but like always its just people using him to make profit.


And Metropolis, I don’t even wana get into that topic.


Sucks that things didn’t turn out will for you guys, I feel bad for you and Seasons’ because you guys were pushing that party hard. But this goes to show why Miami has such a weak scene. Between corrupt club owners, and big headed DJ’s, who would have fun going out with nothing is certain.



But if it makes you feel any better, yesterday was not a good day for anyone. Shit was going wrong all over South Florida, Bad Rain and Lightning strom, your event moved, most of the clubs at the hardrock had no power, people being assholes, traffic and if was fu*ckin muggy out!





peace.

oh,,, the above, IMO

yesterday was somewhat of a pain in the ass and a step in the right direction towards the trance scene strengthening here in Miami. When Tranceman called me up and told me about what had happened, I could say I wasn't that surprised. I had some sort of presentment all along that somehow, this event wouldn't take place. But it did. Thankfully, it did. The ta turnout was great. Great meeting MiamilawDj and the other person was "ledge" something(sorry I forgot!!) The music was for the most part top notch. Ofcourse, Piet only got like 45 minutes, but it was sooo worth it. Trance ownzzzz j0000!!!!! Thank you for playing for us dude. Seasunz, I had thanked you already, but I think I need to do it again. It seems as if you really have a great interest in the edm scene here, and you care about it. DA, i also thank you again bro. As usual, great seeing the usual suspects in the house. Till next time!!!


btw, do we have an explanation as to why Metro closed??? I know they were remodeling or something, but was it really that?

You can talk shit about me to my "friends" But don't ever disrespect someone who went out to see you by throwing a plastic cup or whatever at me. Shows how immature you are. Yes I did see Piet of Rank 1 in San Fran and I had an enjoyable experience. But for him to get mad at something I said in the review thread because I didn't like 1 song that he played. [David Amo & Julio Navas - Electronic Electro] GET OVER YOURSELF. Not everyone is going to like every single song you play. You aren't number 1 and won't ever get number 1 with that attitude. Tiesto the most hated and trash talked dj doesn't remember people who talk crap about his trainwrecking or playlist. lol. Was an interesting night must say. But I'm glad I didn't waste money in San Francisco or tonight. Must've sucked playing 45 mins lol. There's more shit I can say but I won't ruin this review thread. It's only a 45 min set to review anyways. Hope everyone else had fun.

BTW this is the post he got mad about.

I loved his set but that song has me traumatized from when Armin dropped it WMC I enjoyed everyones set.. except for Perry's. But i only flew to San Fran to see the Dj's that were worth the Trip. Signum.. Rank 1.. and of courseeeeeee Blank and Jones!
