okies here's my dual review:
Ferry Corsten & Ronald Van Gelderen aka. Kid Vicious @ The Guvernment
Sorry to everyone at the meetup for not being able to make it. I had some other matters to tend to beforehand, but eventually got to the Guv with 24_7, Eso, and Malek at about 10:45pm. I proceeded into the Guv with 24_7 while Malek and Eso headed into the KH.
Entrance took a couple of seconds thanx to the E2EK1EL upline. Once I got inside the Guv the TA's were everywhere going at it early. CLub was very spacious at this point and Ronald Van Gelderen aka. Kid Vicious was already throwing down some very sweet trance. The system I noticed was turned down significantly. It was nice to be able to talk to people in the club without having to scream off the top of ur lungs and going deaf but you could definately feel that the power of the system was somewhat lacking.
I enjoyed many moments of Van Gelderen's set for the basic fact that there was plenty of room to dance and the place was still feeling very comfortable. Good to meet all the new TA's that I did as well as all the usual suspects. Eventually many of us made it to the stage of the main room into the night as Ferry Corsten came on for his set as the place started to get really packed as most of you guys have already mentioned. I'm not gonna complain about the crowdedness in there since it's already something to expect at the Guvernment on a special event night, but indeed it was VERY crammed inside and made it difficult to enjoy oneself. Good thing there was a little more room up on the stage where a lotta the TOTA's were hanginging out, but I can honestly say that it felt more crowded in there than it did during Labour of Love I.
Ferry's set was very good from what I heard of it. Lots of friendly people this night and lots of energy coming from the crowd. People clapping, chanting, all the sorts which added to the positive aspects & vibe of the night.
After doing my rounds of the club and even caught a bit of DJ Czech at Charlies, I eventually left the Guv for the Koolhaus to entice myself with the sounds of John Didweed.
Shouts to all the TOTA tranceheads I encountered in the night:
Cono_sur, Lil_kandi_Angel, Mobius & KEvin the Lurker, DJStylez, KUUUUUUUUUURRRRFEEEEEEWWWW!, BubbleGirl & Tamira, WAlterMindz & liquidchick & KevinEarth, Cereal & chanoa & Terry & starshine, Jeff & tha whole Burlington/Buffalo contingent, RabbitJoker, tatgirl & Irish Graham, Cuzo, Brindor, DJ Ampz & Kevin, Muff2k, Time2Burn & Red, goodnet, dallasstar, 24_7 & mucopus, etc.. etc.. my appologies if i left anyone out, but if i did plz. let me know..
Even caught a glimpse of Swamper and Pope Queen up in the D-Luxe Lounge looking down over all he surveys.
John Digweed & Luke Fair @ Koolhaus
Going from listening to 3-4 hours of trance and suddenly into a progressive room was quite interesting and I definately felt the change in tempo. However, the Koolhaus once again reminded me why it's my favourite room of the entire entertainment complex. I am self admittedly a dance-a-holic. If i can't dance I simply can't have a good time!
The only major drawback what a somewhat lower energy in the KH. I've definately seen a much more pumped up crowd and the place was a lot more subdued than the boisterous Guv room from which I had just came.
The setup in the Koolhaus looked amazing. I was told by E2EK1EL that the setup was apparently left up after the Theory party the night before so the place looked top notch. Digweed was already on the decks when I got inside and was laying down an absolutely sick ass set. I did my rounds of the room and bumped into all the usual TOTA proghead suspects. Didn't see Silke (disko-kandi) or Steve (sohaness) tho.
Had my brief reunion with ahlaMalek after finding him again inside. I ended up spending most of the remainder of my night partying it up with a great crew of people: pixiechick, Eso, Infinity High, twitch & gf Magdeline, Max Q, Enraptured, ninjapimp, drgoodvibe & tha_broad, gamma, StereoPrincess, FormNFunktion aka. Aaron Mossey & angelgirl, Firestarter, FRancis & the whole Michigan Crew..
shouts to the other TOTA progheads i saw in tha house including: TranceGeek aka. DJ Mute and DJ Reza
again plz. lemme know if i left out anyone..
Left around 5:30 am with E2EK1EL for Markham Station to get some Souvlaki. Coat check took about 2 mins with the TOTA hookups at the front of the line .. thanks RJ, Calor & Corrine ;)

... the people I hung around partied it up and weren't boring.
1st time seeing Diggers -- Nice work! He laid it down huge last night. And yeah, Luke's opening set was pretty sweet. His set after Digweed was pretty good as well, but like Tw1tch said to me; he should have kicked it up a notch after he took over after Diggers but instead he laid it back a bit.
I had a great night with everyone! Nice to meet/see and party with all TA's (forgive me if I forget some): Enraptured, Pixiechick, Bubblegirl, Julie, Gavin, Tamara, Dan (x2), Lilia, Cono_sur, Eric (Vagrant), Time2Burn and Red, RabbitJoker, Maxtuh, Ahlamalek, Durafei, DJEso, 24_7, Desidel, E2EK1EL, Dr.Goodvibe, Tha_Broad, DallasStar, Tatgirl, Irish Graham, Swamper and Sally, Mucopus, Muff2k, Endlesswave, StereoPrincess and Ray, Mobius and LilKandiAngel, InfinityHigh, Jspot, Tw1tch and Madeline and many others who (I don't think) are not TA's.
Lawler's next... :) |

great night, luke started things slowly with some warmup breaks and progressive house and did he dropped 'luke fair - generation'? i though i heard that tune he played in his set. Digweed got to the decks around 1:30am mark, started deep and dark, melodic and chubby, around 3:30am mark he start dropping some faster beats (sounded like goa for a minute). It was nice seeing it some old TA's friends
Overall:
the crowd 7/10
the sound system (I have to agree it was redicolously overpower and unclear, the bass was overkilling) 3/10
luke fair 8/10
john digweed 7/10 (I know, but believe me he can play better)
last thing:
Digweed likes CDR's :tongue3 |

| Had an absolute blast, Digweed was dropping bombs one after the other once he turned it up, absolutely loved it. I had one of the best times out in over a year last night. It was all about the hanging with familiar faces and meeting some new TA's. Thanks for making last night a memorable one. |
