I've been to a couple of big events in MTL (Swirl 2002 / Bal en Blanc 2004) so I had an idea of what I was in for - but it was even better than I expected.
Just like Floorwhore said in his review - it is a surreal moment to walk into an arena and to see 10,000+ ppl all dancing it up - something that lots of people like to think is either a distant memory of 1999 parties or only possible in Europe. This was one of the top parties of the year for me.
Arrived an hour into Digweeds set - which I regret - cuz I loved what I heard for the next hour, unfortunately he wasn't able to maintain that energy throughout his whole set -- didn't matter though, the majority of the people in attendance did because the dance floor was totally going off. It is great having a party in a venue like this since those that want to take a break can go into the stands (and do whatever) and those who wanna dance can use the space just for that -- no posers standing around -- ahhhh bliss.
Next up was Sander who played a good mix of tunes.. I hadn't heard him in a long time (I think the last time was 2002 @ Guv ?) - but his sound was unique and since I'm not a house head I can't tell you in detail what he played.
I was waiting all night for Ferry expecting a bangin' set but I'll be honest and say I was a bit disappointed... He played all the standard tunes he is known for and in a way it seemed the crowd wasn't as into it, not surprising since it was a party where the majority of headliners played house.. I talked to some people and they were telling me Trance was ruining the party and they were waiting for Deep Dish. I dunno, I think that come 6AM that ppl in there were expecting something harder.. synths and riffs just didn't seem to be doing it.
Up next was Deep Dish... by this time I was tired as all hell so I just sat throughout most of their set.. Owner of a lonely heart was the highlight track of their set for me -- mainly cuz it was completely unexpected.. one of those "wtf am I hearing?" moments so to speak.
This was a well organized event and it showed -- my only suggestion for next year is that they should have some techno in the lineup, you can only listen to so much house all night.
Let's not forget, the amount of HOT women in the place was also unbelievable, partying it up and friendly, I can only express so much in words, pics would be more fitting for this paragraph. (Oh ya, to the brunette in the green bikini top from Toronto, if you read this (ya right), leave me feedback, my buddy lost your number.
Thanks Louis & Biggy (for the hookup @ Aria on Saturday) - the drive to montreal was well worth it. |

I forgot to mention, I was still wearing my orange wristband from PE and guess what??? The VIP @ Cream had the same coloured wristband!!! HAHAHAH
I ran into some guy in the bathroom and asked him if he had been at PE earlier on in the day. He said no and I asked him about his wristband... He told me it was VIP and I was like, "No way!?"
So yes, upon leaving the bathroom, I went to the VIP area!!! :D So my $75 ticket got me into the VIP area where VIP tix were $125!!! lol |
