Lacking on the reviews recently seriously, and I didn't get a chance to read through this whole thread so I may repeat a couple of things. But in a nutshell, what an excellent way to end the summer!! (even though for me it's not over until at least after the cottage next weekend!). The most anticipated act of the night for me was definitely Above & Beyond in the KH...finally they are placed in a room that's the appropriate size for them in Toronto! It's about time this happened and I was sooo excited for major hands in the air the whole set...and was pretty disapointed. They played the weakest set in the KH by far. Towards the second half of their set they did pick it up quite a bit and started playing realllly good (I won't get sick of On A Good Day even though it's overplayed!!), but because the start of their set was so weak, I wasn't into it anywhere near as much as I could have been. Really A&B, was playing electro-ey tracks in the beginning really necessary? There was enough of that drivel in the main room. Definitely the worst out of the 3 times I've seen them, this set doesn't even TOUCH their set this year In Buffalo!
Sooo Markus comes on, YESSSSS!!! I'm pretty sure it's safe to say he will never disappoint me ever in my life. Dark proggy trance, even though it was a GDJ broadcast (I was worried it would be more mainstream). The only beef I have about this set was that it was too short! We've been spoiled rotten with those 6 hour sets pretty much everytime Markus is in town (and he closes too, bonussss). Absolutely amazinggggg time dancing up a storm to Markus, as always!
As soon as Markus finishes, I run over to the Drink for the rest of Jayforce's set, YES!!! Excellent little break from the KH. I love partying in the Drink when there's EDM playing, I wish we had more opportunities!
Now I'm heading back to the KH wondering if I'm going to be bored to shit again by Digweed. I highly disliked him in Sept 2008, and he in general for awhile was always my least favourite dj b/c I always found him SO boring.
But I can say with utmost pleasure that he absolutely ripped everyones clothes off. He played hard, DARK, chugging prog. WOW. I was so impressed, and seeing what he turned the KH into was a treat. This was probably the hilight of the night for me, not because I preferred him over Markus (I don't think that could ever be possible for me) but because he unexpectedly blew me away. Every moment of his set was so intense (minus the last couple of unfortunate tracks he finished off with). I know a lot of people on this forum love him to pieces, and now I can understand why. I promise I won't turn my nose up at him anymore!
Overall, a MADLY successful all access event. LoL 2008 still tops this one (Armin classic trance is untouchable) but wowzersssssss what a great time, with such a great group too!! <3 Damn I love huge Guv parties!

A really nice review that had me reminiscing about great prog nights during 'Breathe' at System when I first discovered that sound. Cheers.
