Awesome time!
Incredible vibe during Lange's set, which went from 12:30 to 3:30.
Dumonde played from 3:30 to closing at 7:15, and kicked the asses of everyone who stayed.
The layout of the room is very similar to how Arc was. |

Just got back. It was my first time at shelter and i thought the place was pretty good. I got lost for like 10 min at first when i first got there lol looking for Lange's room.
Lange was awesome. Did he play Kilimanjaro? i got there a few minutes after he started. Dumonde was even better amazing set except for the end a lil. Didn't like some of the vocal stuff. Yes it did reminded me of arc a bit. Loved how i had space to dance and was digg'n the strobe lights.
Tracklist anyone? |

| worst club ever i've been to. sound system was horrible and only like 300 people in club. Lange mixing was off little bit and I left right before Dumonde came on. Either way it would suck anyway. |

Sorry to hear it sucked. I would have been mad since I'm a huge fan of both.
I know one of them had to play dumonde vs lange - memory or some mix of it since they were both there. Tracklist please? |

| Dumonde was great. Their set kept me moving all night. The part that sucked was the surprising lack of support from NY. I thought the event would be packed, but that was not the case. |

No way did last night suck.
:whip:
There are few times when you get to see 2 GREAT acts in one night in NY, with such a comfortable atmosphere as shelter with all the room in the world to dance. I mean Im a big fan of the top DJ's out there, but sometimes going to gigs like this make me remember why i listen to trance music. Reminded me so much of Arc with how the room's layout was.
First of all Lange was great!...He had some technical problems in the beginning of his set it seemed. But he literally owned me for the whole time he spun. Lange played a very melodic set, with some vocals here and there.
Then Dumonde came on at 330, and they brought so much energy into their set. They did play a bit too many anthems in the beginning, but still played some amazing tunes(tracklist of the night anyone?)
Great time hangin out with Chris L., hope u made it to work today. What was that name of that track u told me the name of again??---silence?
ALso Jay I owe u big time for the favor, u def came thru! I still cant believe u were the one last year dancing in Arc's VIP room dancing all over the place:haha: |

u must be on crack or munching on some bad pills.. sound system was terrible...? lol thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard..those speakers on the main dance floor are directly from twilo.. classic phazons.. bass mids and treble was absolutely crystal..and i dont know if they tweaked it for this event, but it was at a perfect setting for trance..[good amount of bass, clear highs and unmuffled mids so the synths sound clear and alive] if you stood right in the middle of the dance floor, the sound was so amazing i wished more ppl were there instead of in front where the booth is...
musically, Lange played a good set.. it didnt have the perfect flow and his mixing wasnt flawless, but he definitely brought a different style and sound that nyc wasnt used to.. and was great.. mostly instrumental and hard at some points with a few vocals dropped.. it was definitely different from the usual trance jocks we get in nyc.. i dont even have to mention who they are..i think Lange is still growing as a dj and really has the potential to be top notch he has the sound and the ear for it. just needs to sharpen his technical skills and more experience overall in the art of djing..
i left at 5am and DuMonde was really baning it out.. the classic DuMonde style... big kick, and rolling basslines.. the flow they kept was almost techno without the crazy hi hats.. if you were a fan of their style, they sure didnt disappoint... i got there really early[10pm] so by 5am i was really tired and DuMonde's style of tracks were a bit 'forcefull' to my ears.. when i left it was in the middle of their remix of 'Symsonic'.. all in all, very good night.. only thing was that more ppl should have came out.. the peak was about 60% full i'd say and thats being generous.. ok, that'll do. i need to get ready for Fuzion tonight... maybe i'll see some of you there.. peace.

This was the best night of music that NYC has seen in a long time. This was the party of the year for me. Both Lange & Dumonde were amazing! 8 Hours non-stop of the hardest, most intense trance tunes ever made. There was never a dull moment. Dumonde played tons of new stuff, but he also played all of his original remixes that were on everyone’s favorite list between 2001-2003. Stuff that you will never hear in a club again.
Shelter looked bad at first when you first walked inside. There was nothing really special about it. It was a normal size dance floor with average strobes and lights. Throughout the night it started to feel more and more like Arc. The sound and lighting was setup really good in the back of the club. Plenty of room to move around too. If you danced in the right spot, you could really have a great time.
I’ll maybe work on a tracklisting later. Both sets were supposedly broadcasted on the radio. I hope somebody recorded them. |

great time last night! good seeing a lot of TA's
sound system had a few probs btw cd players and the highs, but the sound tech was literally running from room to room last night due to the rave also being there so he was doing all he could.
I agree with tek tho, on the floor it was bangin...towards the front it was a little weak but again, there were some problems.
Anyways I had fun, Lange and Dumonde KILLED IT and also were very nice to meet and chat with. Also nice to meet Jan Johnson and to see DJ Manolo.
