ok, i started out the nite grabbing an echo mia midi sound card from my cousin for $50 bucks:eyes: :eyes: so, so far things were looking good. we left his place and got to the drink entrance about 11:10. BIGGEST BULL IN MY LIFE. we go through the drink all the time and have never experienced this . i felt like i was at a club from the top 40 days. we ended up waiting an hour to get in, in a not so long line because of the bull, and when we get to the front they wouldn't even give us the free tickets because 'guestlist had closed.' normally it wouldn't be a big deal, seeing scumfrog and dumonde for 15 bucks is nothing bad, but after going through that bull, you want every benifit in the book.
so things started off bad and my girlfriend thinking she had frost bite on her toes because she wasn't wearing socks and thin shoes. We just tried to dance it off and let it behind us though. We Caught Dave Ralphs set. wasn't bad, nothing spectacular though. Then just decided to go back to the drink for some house music until the big names came on. i was a little disappointed scumfrog didn't come on til 3am. but his set was really cool and was enjoying it...i really wanted to catch dumonde though, so we only stayed til 330 and went to kool haus. infected mushroom was still on, and damn did they suck. the little interludes b4 the drum beats were cool, but when those drumbeats started playing i just wanted to go on stage and turn that bass boost down, the bass was so damn deep it was annoying to listen to.
anyways dumonde came on around 3:45 i guess, and they played great tracks. I loved hearing Airscape - Sosei (f&w mix i think?) but a lot of joy was taken from there set becasue of the bad tweaking in the sound system. the sound was so airy and blended all the frequencies together making it very non-enjoyable (i don't know if it was just where i was standing, but i wasn't impressed) so i couldn't only take about an hour, because my girlfriend wasn't digging it that much, and then we stayed for more of scumfrogs set and left around 5:30.
Overall, not as good a nite as i had hoped. To bad dumonde wasn't on a better sound system. Still pretty good though, i think i'm done with guvernment for some time though, don't have any desire to go back til probably armin in march. Hopefully kai tracid/matt hardwick will bring back the clubbing spirit. |

What can I say that hasn't been already said....last night was awesome! It was great seeing all of you again and meeting some new people. I always have a blast with TA's ;)
This was my first time seeing Dumonde live, and they definately didn't disappoint. As RJ says, it was definate "uber trance" They were having so much fun. You could definately tell they love what they are doing.
Can't wait to hear your interview Barry :) |

fun night, but nothing seemed to be awe inspiring.
I didnt brave the sardine can of guv, so I cant speak to scumfrogs set, but I almost wish I had.
I thought dave ralph was wickedly sick. he was my fave set of the night.
plump djs-scram oh ..mm phat bass.
anyways, IM was good and I thought Dumonde was severly lacking. I left around 5 because Dumonde just wasnt doing it for me.
i rate it "very above average" Maybe I just wasnt up for it. |
whats the problem here!!! is people a wee bit spoiled in toronto. |
