Starsearcher:
Firstly, when did Armin play by himself? I've played with him every time he's been at the club and don't ever recall him spinning solo.
Secondly, how on earth do you expect me to know what a DJ playing AFTER me is planning to play? I don't have ESP. When opening for a producer/DJ, I always avoid playing any of his/her own tracks to avoid the possibility of songs being repeated. That's about all I can do.
And, finally, it was suggested to me two months ago that Armin close the night (which he does so well). Since I'm playing 6.5 hours tonight with PVD, it made sense for Armin and I to split the night in half. I don't think it would have been a good idea to have Armin play the first half, do you?
I don't like blowing my own trumpet, Starsearcher, but if I weren't hammering Armin's productions at The Guvernment years ago, he probably would never have played there and you may have had a Hip Hop DJ or Hanson at the club last night instead.
On a happier note, it was great to meet you last night, RJ and Graham!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Thanks for helping make my 7 year anniversary a momentous one.
Bring on PVD!
:tongue2

My first time seeing Armin, and it will be a party i most likely will not forget. (unless tonight is better.....)
Armin's set was incredible, i can never hear enough of communications. He didn't play precious (unless he played it the few minutes i was in the Acid Lounge), and i would'ev really liked to hear that, but by the time we was finished it didn't even matter! amazing show!!
see y'all tonight!!:D |

| It's weird.. I've actually made my round around Guv to look for some of you, but never saw anyone except 404 Science. We arrived pretty late though at 3:30. |

Alright, real review:
Meetup was a pretty good turnout at the 'Yard. Nice to see some new TAs and the ones that never come out (Jeff, Heidi, Aaron, and Az's nutty friends :p). Good to chill with all the regulars too, told you you'd be coming Pete. ;) These long nights are always so much nicer with a meetup beforehand.
So, didn't have to wait too long to get in courtesy of Mike, who seemingly never made it in himself... big thanks to him and Az for that though. The Guvernment was RAMMED, I'm sorry but I have to complain about this. I've seen the Guvernment packed before, but this had to be way over capacity, I think there were as many people in the bathroom as there were in the acid lounge. Crowd was a little ruder than usual too, but also hotter, so I guess it balances out. :p
Was pretty tired at around 1:30 am, Mark was actually spinning a great set but I just couldn't deal with the stuffed-ness of the main room and all the people pushing their way around, so I went to the acid lounge, where I waited 45 minutes to get a seat, and chilled until close to the beginning of Armin's set, at which point a few of us ended up in the VIP area. :D After that, the rest of the night was fehkin' amazing.
Armin spun a totally kick ass set, he didn't wimp out on the vocal tracks, and I loved the way he was mixing tracks together. Some of them didn't flow perfectly, but others were insanely sick, especially the one he mixed Binary Finary into. And since there was tons of space and breathable air up there, there was absolutely nothing to take away from my total enjoyment of the night. Pure sweetness! Thanks Pete. :p (Also saw Ziggy up there and I think Blex is his friend... we've never been formally introduced but I was the one with Eso.)
So, all around a great night, except for the rammedness, I really wish the Guv would be a little more strict about crowd control.
See y'all at PVD! |
