While everyone at the Docks were getting a taste of classic trance, the people at Boa were served a dose of groovin house that was the backdrop to an amazing vibe, and unbelievable party.
I started the night out a little later than usual, arriving at 2:30 to an already electric crowd at full force to the tasty treats Nevio was serving. Like last time, Nev completely revamped his sound and got the party rollin in true Boa resident fashion. Unbelievable job getting this party started (for the hour and a half i saw), set the table for Frankie to do it up proper.
Frankie took to the decks, and delivered a set with what seemed no emotion what so ever. Barely any crowd interaction, and very little excitement shown on his part. But soon enough, it was apparent why. He is so focused on delivering a set that was not only flawlessly mixed, but with a range of house that went back and forth like ive never witnessed before. He would go from an anthem like "Lola's Theme", and follow it with a dirty ass track that most people would never think to mix. It was like this all night, but somehow, he made it work. Of course he had his doses of vocal and classic, but it was complimented by some of the bass heavy tracks ive heard on Boa's system. I recall at one point while dancing on the stage area completely stopping myself from dancing to listen in awe to the mix of completely mind blowing basslines that set that crowd in a frenzy (around 6am). Towards the end, while the crowd was evidently beat to a pulp he enlightens us with a classical gem, consisting of almost nothing but a piano riff. Such beautiful sounds at that time in the morning gave us a chance to rest our feet temporarily, and give our ears something most dj's not dare throw on during a set.
Nevio then took over the decks around 10am, and began to slaughter the then small (but rejuvenated) crowd with some uptempo stuff similar to what he began the night with. "I CANT WAIT.....FOR THE WEEKEND TO BEGIN......") - what is the name of that track? Its been in my head for days, and i think the reason my leg is in such pain at the moment from dancing at a retarded pace for 10:30 in the morning. Party was done at 10:45 - and stayed til the lights were on. I think thats a true sign as to how unbelievable this experience was. |

| Oh and on another note, congrats to Sean again for playing an amazing set (from what i heard from EVERYONE who came to Boa after the Docks). I was pleased to hear that a primarily trance crowd were completely blown away by your opener. |

Im guessing it was the Eric Prydz & Steve Angello mix - it definately had their "feel" to it. |

I hardly ever post on TA but I am known to lurk. I always make sure I read Jeff's reviews! Anyone who knows Jeff knows that he doesn't talk to you like this in person but he always has the BEST reviews. I look forward to them.
After reading this I wish I had been there. Just got back from Hawaii though so I had to recoop..haha.
Next time hopefully, Jeff! I miss partying with you! (And all the other TA's of course);) |

slipped into boa after tiesto...yes, sean miller played a great set and tiesto killed it....and almost killed these old legs...
i love all different genre's of music so it was a nice change of pace to go from hands in the air trance to sexy, smooth house...place was still pretty busy at 6am when i arrived and everyone was in a good "mood";)...lots of smiles to go around...
thanks as always to rony and the great staff at boa! |

| Another night at boa ...started to get used to the faces inside..anyways got in at around 3:15 the place was packed, i didnt think it would be packed cuz of tiesto anyways i hanged in the lounge for a good amount of time the music downstairs was amazing, then went up when Nevio was about to leave he did a good job. Frankie came up played fairly well through the rest of the night but as jeff said he was going back and forth and he was serious no smile or anything.. and ya bythe way lots of hot girls that night cant forget that.. ppl where actually showing up at around 7 and 8 even when i was leaving at 9 two guys wanted to come in thought the party will go on till 12... a good night overall cant wait for Kenny. |
