Yeah near the end of his set there were a few ups like for some reason the treble kept totally dying on some moments, but i thought it was maybe just a technical problem since it quickly came back after and i doubt he would do something like that!
BTW nice shirt:) |

Where to begin!!!! We got there at like 12ish str8 to da dance floor... Lawrence was overall alright, had me bouncing from the start. Liebing was UN*FCUKIN*REAL!!!! The dude stole the show for me, i will get flamed i know but who cares. I was expecting Armin to be trancy, don't get me wrong Armin played it like i've never seen nor heard, just not wut i expected. B&J were good for the closure of amazing nite alltogether. I don't imagine that there'll be a better nite than that... ever!
for all u that didn't make it, u shoulda been there. for those who were there, hope u had as much fun as i did... i was under the smiley baloons pretty much most the time with a huge gang, gf, bro, lol all the guys, Blinckme, lol went into together just barely saw ea.o inside.. i had a fken blast, track after track, it was just unreal, couldn't wipe the smile off my face and for some reason it looked like every1 was just as happy, fken highlight of my nite.
i will have some updates as the memory comes back... fken memory |

| Orange, I was right around those ballons as well. Do you remember seeing a guy wearing a white polo shirt with a small red line through the middle? I was probably a little closer to the dj booth. |

Unbelievable night, incredible DJ’s, incredible venue. Blank & Jones destroyed the place.
Where do I start…
I would actually like to start off by saying how awesome it was to meet everyone I met Sunday night. I have no clue what most of your names were and even a vague recollection of your faces but I do remember meeting MARCUS and ROB- awesome seing you guys, you guys are AMAZING! For all you who do remember faces, I was the short guy with the black billabong tank top, beige cargo’s and the cap ;) I was pretty much dancing the whole night in the crowd right in front of the stage.
I got to the Olympic stadium early, around 10:30. No line up- coat check seemed small for such a big event but it was quick. I GOT CARDED- after coat check, even after getting searched, about 3 or 4 guys came running after me asking me my age and since I lie about my age ALL THE TIME I wasn’t quick to give them a answer… lol I am 20- it was great. “are you sure you are 20 sir?”
So my initial thoughts while walking in were:
- this place is small
- ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww hip-hop
- who are these people (the crowd at 1030 looked very much like a crowd of 16 year old girls awaiting the arrival of Britney spears)
- why did my friend Tracy get whistled at and taunted in the washroom by 15 italian jocks. (have you ever seen that happen anywhere else?)
So lets say I did not see this night evolving AT ALL. Boy was I wrong …
---THE DJ's---
So my night started off with Marco G who never fails to impress. He made Bal en Blanc for me so I wasn’t planning on missing his set. He was amazing as usual and got people moving by 11, including me and my friends- sober.
Christopher Lawrence totally surprised me; not by being good- but by playing hard beats. Most of the stuff I have from him is a lot softer and melodic and was expecting such at Swirl. He brought down the house and was the initiator of my FANTASTIC NIGHT!!! He looked SO happy and GRATEFULL to be spinning for us, it was amazing. HE AGNOLEDGED MY PRESENCE and waved back at me when I waved at him, it made me so happy lol. Didn’t recognize anything he played, good stuff though.
Chris Leibing, wow, how do I describe how incredible this guy was. I had NEVER heard anything of his before but I had shawn05 praising his name for the couple of days before Swirl so I was expecting something good, but not that good! He was so intense, he made me so high (on the music of course lol) and this was good cause I had just been going through one of my “these are not working!” phases. Those progressive beats were mesmerizing and exhausting to dance too, I was in no way complaining though! My one complaint of the night was that he played a little too progressive, by the end of the set, I was not amazed by the beats, they were becoming expected.
I think the night was divided into two parts musically, this first half ended off with a more techno feel, which I loved to hear for the first time in a while- it really killed me physically tho because if you had let yourself go with this stuff on the dancefloor, you were recked by the end of Chris Leibing’s set, as I was… Thank god Armin came through with some slower trance beats.
ARMIN VAN BUUREN kicked off his set with some slower beats and I was lovin’ it. This is my second time seing Armin (yes, only second…) and again, he did not fail to impress. ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed over and over and over- I was in heaven. I have never been so moved, so happy, so happy to see a DJ so happy. Like someone said earlier, he has this way with the crowd, you can almost see in his eyes what he has in store for you next, what he is getting ready to put on and he reads in his audiences eyes what they want to hear. Just looking at the audience during this set was so moving, everyone was facing him, praising him I couldn’t believe it. He started off looking tired (5 nights in a row!) but as he went on, he got so much energy from the audience and he thanked us with an unbelievable set. Perfect silence … Can’t you see … OMG OMG OMG. One of the best moments of my night … and Adagio, OMG … I’m a insane Tiesto fan and was not at all upset (like some of you) that this song was played twice, I just had to look around me to see that no one around me was either. My BIGGEST REGRET OF THE NIGHT was missing Burn With Desire, I ws in the bathroom for 10 minutes during that set and it was during that. Mistakes? Oh god, I was too happy to care…
BLANK & JONES … blank & jones … what can I say … incredible. There is actually very little I can say about them other than they were perfectly what I expected them to be; they played everything I wanted them to play (even a little Tiesto;) ) and looked more than happy to do it. They looked so in touch with the they were playing, their spinning and audience interaction almost looked choreographed and so sharp. My songs of the night were, by far, with perfect silence, DJ CULTURE and MIND OF THE WONDERFUL. I can’t believe they played it, their whole set I had been waiting for it (MOTW) and every so often I thought I heard it and ran to find my friends, butt It was never it. At about 9:30 I started to give up on it and stoped thinking about it … then … then … the greatest thing happened … “I miss the mind of the wonderful …” I swear to you I can barely remember it, I was shocked, and happy and my body was tingling, my eyes were tearing (im sure other things were helping this feeling) and me and my two best friends were just jumping in front of the DJ booth… and that moment in the track when everything goes silent and they DJ’s were taunting us with “when is it gonna come? When is it gonna come back in !!” was the best moment of the night. “I MISS THE MIND OF THE WONDERFUL- I LET THE ICY THOUGHTS RUN THROUGH ME COLD… AND NO ONE KNOWS!” amazing night …
-sorry, I got carried away in that blank and jones review!
-question: did they ever play Secrets and Lies? Because I did not leave them once and I didn’t hear it but someone I know did.
--OVERALL---
This night was amazing, I had the best time I have ever had at a dance event and am actually VERY upset of the fact that I can’t see anything really topping this for a long while? I really wish I was back there to take more of it in. I am also glad I got to share this night with some of my closest friends, Steph & Tracy (Tracy was that girl in the white bikini top sitting on the guys shoulders RIGHT in front of the stage when Armin was spinning the Sensation White theme, Serenety. OMG DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THAT TRACK!! I can’t believe he played it!!), Shawn, my good buddies Dan & Chris!! This was an insane night.
See you all at Cream, or any good events beforehand?
