There is no doubt about it: this was one of THE BEST sets I have ever heard...EVER. Let me stress that again: THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST SETS I HAVE EVER HEARD. Definitely one of my favorite nights of clubbing in my life. Barbara was on point from start to finish. Last night she was the perfect example of what a relentless DJ should be. She peaked at the right moments, she played perfectly timed breakdowns, she interacted with the crowd (she even started imitating my "black power" fist in the air :D), and on top of all that: DAMN SHE'S CUTE!! And she has the cutest little accent too!!
But anyway, yeah, she wouldn't give anyone a break. You had to stay there and keep dancing no matter what. Every track she dropped was a bomb of nuclear proportion. Only god knows how times she gave me goosebumps with her buildups. There were times where I could only stand around and just laugh...it was ridiculous how good she was.
Yeah. I could now die a happy man.
So Tom, Lisa, Alex, and Brianna: is the feeling mutual?? :toothless |

feelin is more then mutual - so relentlesss - 1st time i ever saw Mistress Barbara - was at this awesome psy party that got busted at like 2 in morn, so my friend Leif and I decided to go to Arc - was a kickass way to continue the night. Next time she will sign THE shirt.
Brianna, Lisa, Tom, Jayme was great seein all of u - and Serge - great seein u too - hope u managed to get some good shuteye before u had work - one thing that definitely hit me over past 2 nights at Arc (Friday nite for Danny & Be Yourself) and last nite for Mistress Barbara is like the dead weight of the closing - gonna try hard to make it to Arc as much as I can before it all ends - as Q said in Star Trek - all good things must come to an end, Jean Luc.
Laterz, Everyone

| It was the most!!!!!!!!!!! BEST SET I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!!! it was so crazy.... i cannot put it into words. You literally had to be there to experience it. As strange as it sounds.... i had way more fun then when I saw Armin Van Buuren or any other dj for that matter. It was fun seeing Briana, Alex, EnigmaT and a whole bunch of raveclick.com members..... it was insane.... outrageous.... i died multiple times. nuff said. The most orgasmic experience ever for dancing ^_^ |

Yes, this definetly was one of the best nights at Arc! The place was pumping from 2:30 on. I think it was Craig Harris on the main floor before Misstress Barbara came on and his last hour was really good. Misstress Barbara came on at 3:30 and kept the energy at a constant peak. It was so good that we felt guilty leaving at 5:30.
Tracklisting :conf:
Techno is really difficult to tracklist. I think Highmay knew a few of them. |

When she played: Cave - Street Carnival.. well, that was it for me. I was definitely floored. Talk about hardcore!! I can't think of a better workout, holy ! However, I don't think techno sounds so good on the Phazon. I wasn't impressed with the sound like i usually am.
I had a great time. Lots of room to dance and VIP was fun with the usual suspects. We went to Discotheque afterwards for Erik Morillo. Two new DJs for me in one night. It was great.
Lovely to see the TAs who showed up, most of all Lisa and Tom who always bring a smile to my face! And Bryan who almost never comes out! (where the hell did you disappear to at discotheque, babe?)
See you all at Vic's this weekend!? :p |

Oh My God, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOOOOD NYC!!!
I thought I had very few good and fun gigs in NYC so far, in my 8 years of DJ career, but after yesterday night I know I didn't... until yesterday.........!!!
I played at ARC, this club which, for a very long time, I had heard of and had never played at or even been to. This club which, for a while, I'd be hearing various good and bad comments like: "they don't serve alcohol in there so it's a really ravey place!", or: "there's no alcohol there so it's hard to get it packed up, but at least the people who go only go for the love of the music!".
Anyway... all these talks you know... I don't hear or believe much anymore. Better not to, as I'd be crazy already. Too much people talk BS all the time. Besides, opinions are opinions and I do respect that. So, basically, I was looking forward to go there and finally judge by myself what that club was all about.
Let me tell you, I really didn't know what to expect...
And I don't know if it's because of the very bad luck I had lately and so I needed to go and lose my mind by playing records, or if it's because I had been brain-washed already about ARC and of how it's difficult for that club to be jam-packed, but anyway... It was the first time in my entire life that I didn't mind playing for a not-so-full-dance-floor, without feeling sad or thinking that there is something wrong!
I got in there about 20 minutes before starting my set, with my big coat and my hat and my gloves as I was just waking up from my sleep and I was feeling very tired and very cold. When I got in there and I looked at the place, I liked it right away. I liked the sound, I liked the size, I liked the space between people (it wasn't packed as I said but it was just perfect!!), I liked the smiles of the people who were looking at me passing them by, I liked everything!
So I get in the DJ booth, take off my coat, place my records in the box behind the decks and, before starting that nice bottle of Champagne that the promoters got me (thank you!), I finish a big bottle of water as I was feeling very de-hydrated from my exquisite Valentine dinner with my lovely Christian... and then, I start!!
Played for 3 hours, felt like 1!
Every time I was cutting that bass and smashing it back in I felt feelings in my stomach that you can't even understand! What a sound in there! And what a crowd!
It was my first time ever, in NYC (a part from the Monday nights at Tronic Treatment), that I didn't feel the need of paying little candies here and there not to scare people away.
Yesterday I REALLY didn't have to do this, and I loved it because of that!
And the people! They were just SO HAPPY!!! I don't know if it's me, I mean I know I AM PARANOID!, but I felt like everyone who was in that room had been reading my TRUTH posts lately and they were all aware of all that happened to me and it's as if they were scared that something would happen again at the last minute and I would not be there, and maybe that made their excitement even greater!
I don't know, obviously, and I will never know, but I really felt a lot of happiness yesterday, and A LOT of support! I have never had people screaming as soon as I plug my headphones into the mixer in NYC. In Montreal, in Quebec, in Spain and in Latin countries yes, but not in NYC.
But yesterday, I felt something special in the air... It was simply fantastic!
Or, who knows, maybe it was a very normal gig and it was me who needed to play and make people dance. All that happened to me lately hasn't been very great. I am a very sensitive person and I am very honest and dealing with such dishonest people lately has hurt me a lot.
Anyway, to get back to ARC, I really had fun and I am so sad that the club is just about to close. What a shame! But I hope they move somewhere else soon enough with that same sound system and then I hope that I can go play for them regularly!
To everyone who was there yesterday, thank you for making my night a very memorable night and spending Valentine there with me! :)
On a final note, I hope you all know I have left my management in the UK (Cosmack) and that I am not involved with them at all anymore. Soon you will find a new contact page in the site and find in there all the necessary contacts to get in touch with the right people concerning my work, my bookings and my personal management.
It is much better like that!
I took control back!
