I wasn't there, but from the tracklist it could be a few tracks.
Unkle - In a State
Blackwatch (feat Quiver) - Loveless
UNKNOWN - F.E.A.R <-- this song is the last track on the James Lavelle GU Barcelona Disc 1
(not bad considering I was in the koolhaus) haha |
he didnt drop loveless... |

Annie Lennox - Wonderful (unknown remix)
It wasn't Sander's, but amazing none the less. Oliver knows his , no doubt. |
You mean when you saw me and ran? |

| i got to shake hand with deko-ze, and swath. but when i requested to shake hands with picotto, his manager was being so rude. i was so dissapointed. he told me to " off". i dont like picotto that much so its no big deal, but it was great to shake hands with deko-ze, vath.:) :) |

Ok time for my LATE LATE LATE review (as usual). Arrived at the Kool Haus at 10:00 with tomEboy, Dan (my Bro), q-tip (Brent), vickyvale (Ang). Got inside and i must say i really liked the setup! Love the stage location, only thing i didnt like was the blinding spotlights directly positioned into the crowd.
Deko-ze was slammin as usual, totally into his set bouncin around harder than anyone in the crowd. Once the place filled up, the vibe began to get intense and the people started to move to the funky ass tribal/tech-house he was serving up. Great way to open for Mr. Vath, and when he was finished the crowd gave him a well deserved ovation.
Deko-ze = 7/10
Sven came on, and opened up with a twisted high pitched melody that seemed to last for 10 minutes, although it may have just been because i was anticipating his set so much! He didnt dissapoint on this night. Track after track, he amazed me. Perfect mixes, very little effects, and played out his tracks to the fullest. Highlight of his set was that twisted tech-electro track "This...is going...to make you FREAK!!!!" Wow. Did it ever....i dont think ive ever danced so hard in my life (and yes Jon the water did help). My only complaint is that his set didnt go any longer, but judging by the crowd reaction for both sets, this was definately a crowd that was there to see Mauro. Excellent set, but not as good as his set at Sound Emporium last trip to Toronto.
Sven = 9/10
Then, on came Mauro. Wow....the sounds that came out of this guys 4 hours or so of spinning were just mind blowing. Ill admit (like many others have) that his track selection was kind of spotty, one banger, then a filler, then another banger, etc. But holy christ.....the bangers he played KILLLLLLLED me. I dont know where people get off saying his mixing was horrible. I mean, ya we all know he aint a superb mixer, but his productions and bangers made up for whatever he lacked technically. The buildups were just phenomenal and the crowd just ate them up!! The final hour of his set is what got me going again. Just when i thought my energy was spent, he starts throwing on all kinds on goodies. "Seven Nation Army", "New Time, New Place", and definately the best track i heard "DARK ROOM"!!!!!!!! Great request Vince, HOLY FAWK!!!!! Out of the 5 times ive seen Mauro this ranks as the 3rd best performance (right behind GUV 2001, System 2002).
Mauro = 8/10
Great crowd on this evening, everyone very polite and outgoing, and definately there just to enjoy the music. Here is my attempt at shoutouts to all the usual TA's and the ones i met on this great night!

I hadn't seen Oakenfold since WMC last year and had never been to Guvernment...
I have now decided that NYC clubs suck and I am going to be a TOwhore. I didn't think the club was too packed at all. I liked being able to stand on that balcony close to the DJ booth and watch everyone dance. Everyone was beautiful or funky or super nice. One of the better crowds I have come across in my travels.
As for Oakenfold...damn. He owns me again. No matter how hard I try to ditch this habit, I am addicted to Oakie and that "high" is oh-so-sweet. I loved hearing his remix of Born Slippy. I was surprised by Satisfaction. Anyway, I really felt his mixing was flawless and had a GREAT time. Oakie seemed more mellow. I felt like he was sort of humble. It was weird...like he wasn't doing the GOD POSE.
I left after Oakie to check out Mauro but came back for Mark Oliver later. He really amazed me as well.
You guys are lucky. Such a great venue.
Special thanks to the three hot girls in VIP who ...shared. :p And, more importantly, much love to the TAs who are, without a doubt, the best people on earth.
/end cheese.

Just like many of you this was my 4th or 5th time i saw oakie. I thought this was the best set by far. Loved his remix of Born Slippy. As far as the people goes it did get annoying at times but the music was so damn good I shortly forgot about it. One thing is for certain I was glad I was sober for this party. I wouldn't have good time high with that people many there.
peace
