Just got back an hour ago...The song selection was good. They did play Nightfly. And that was a pretty good request by me (:D) On the other hand, their mixing wasn't that great. And to think solid producers cant mix that well. I still like em tho. I guess all was not lost when I paid $30 at the door. Got my vinyls & CDs signed, was in the booth for most of the night & Piet Blank giving me the repressed copy of Perfect Silence (E-Craig Mixes).
Anyone got an idea of the Tracklist if at all possible. The first track they played was "Perfect Silence," but was a remix. Can anyone ID? Also heard Eric Prydz - Call On Me. But was a trance mix. Also ID too. |

| The majority of producers that dont DJ - usually dont mix very well. |

thanks Mike for starting a thread for the review
i posted some thoughts in the previous B&J thread

I agree that the mixing wasn't great, but I loved the tunes
A good amount of stuff not played by other DJ's, at least around here
great seeing TA's who traveled from far and wide to see them |

Hey great meeting you PartyHopper heh I saw you getting hyped while Tony Draper was playing. I am also glad the that Glow Gurls and friends came along.Also I finally got to met Colibri. I have to say that Avalon wasn't that bad since it wasn't as packed. But I notice that alot of asians where fuked on whatever :haha: :haha: :haha:
As for a tracklist I think they play about 10-11 tracks.There was a goof-up because they didn't know how to use Tony's mixer or sumthing.
But yeah they played some really hard stuff all night which really pleased after going throgh some crap earlier.
Also can anyone confirm the rest.
1.Viframa - Cristale (Katana Intro Mix)

first of all, even though i was miserably sick, i am so glad i didnt back out. it was definitely an awesome set, and i was not disappointed. they played a nice mix of new stuff and old favorites. There was plenty of room to dance for most of the night, but for some reason it was unbearably hot upstairs. I think some of their mixing problems came from the fact that they didnt know how to work the club's mixer. when they came on (late - around 2) they were being showed how to work the mixer for a good 15 minutes. they started with the one song i HAD to hear last night or i wouldnt be happy - Perfect Silence. I'm not sure what remix it was but i know i have it on my computer at home, so when i get there i'll see which one it was. They were very energetic, really in tune with the crowd, and obviously having a lot of fun. Some songs i remember:
Blank & jones - Perfect Silence
Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia
Randy Katana - In Silence (txitxarra mix)
Blank & jones - Desire
Blank & jones - the nightfly
blank & jones - beyond time
:eyes: blank & jones feat. elles - mind of the wonderful:eyes:
Eric Prydz - Call On Me (Apollo & Zeus Remix)
blank & jones - the hardest heart
blank & jones - cream
andain - beautiful things
i cant think of any more right now, but i'm sure i'll add to that list later.
the crowd really wasnt that bad... saw one fight, right behind me and a guy's nose bleeding. got groped and grabbed by all sorts of rude guys who cant just let a girl dance by herself, but didnt let that ruin my time. had a blast partying with kasper & nicole, my glowsista sky, jose the birthday boy, dan (partyhopper), david (colibri), partrick (peace n trance) and his girls, and it was nice meeting enigma and pyro. the opening djs didnt really do it for me - i felt like i was back at club amnesia in wilkes-barre circa 1995, but oh well, it was worth the wait. they spun til a little after 5 and then the first dj came back on - whoever he was. thats when we left. coat check was a nightmare - waited in line for probably 45 minutes and they lost my gloves anyway.
fun night though! i'll upload pics and vids when i get home.
i also had a fun pregame dinner with lyss & drew, alisa & john, and verndogs :) thanks for helping me kill some time in ny. :)
oh - but once again avalon pulls through being s... we were on clubplanets guestlist to get in - girls free before 11 and they wouldnt let us because we didnt have some flier. and that's the only reason we went so early. when we first got in (after paying $20), they were cleaning up some kind of fashion show and all these people were walking around in suits and skirts. i thought it was kind of unprofessional how they turned on some of the lights and started sweeping the floor and ripping up the place right in front of us. not to mention this was all while listening to 80s music, lol. |

nope - not the one they played. pretty sure it was Apollo & Zeus Remix, as this is the one blank & jones ALWAYS plays in their sets. |
