^^^^^^
let's see 'em Nat! Lots of cameras flashing last night but I haven't seen much yet... can't wait to see this pics from this incredible night!
Man o' man what a time... I was absolutely blown away by the amazing turnout and tight vibe.. people were friendly and going absolutely nuts to the music last night and that's the most enjoyable part of being a dj. This night by far exceeded my expectations!
Johan's set was nice and banging from start to the time I left... really hard and melodic... from a technical standpoint this guy is the most creative trance dj I've ever seen and you have to respect that whether you like his style or not.
Great meeting some new folks last night, too many to mention. Thanks to everyone whop came out with their energy to make it such an amazing night... I can't wait to do this again!!! |

| Is there any way to convert a MOV. file (Quicktime) to another more compressed format? I got a sweet video clip of the Saltwater track. |

Considering I took 900 pics over the course of 16 days in Israel, something IS SERIOUSLY WRONG w/last nights figures.... |

Seriously, i dont think I've ever taken that many pics at a party EVER. Narrowing them down. Down to 160 so far.
Bed is calling.
To be continued.... |

LOL at the responses, keep them coming :p
The sound was no where near the level of quality the rest of the club was. The bass was at best muffled. It had no punch what so ever, of course this would be expected when each bin consisted of one 15" woofer. Dont get me wrong, in comparison to most clubs it was good, just not at the same level as the rest of the Republik. Compared to Stereo, The Docks or Boa, the system at Republik is sub-par.
As for the z103 comment by whom ever, you make me laugh! The track selection was tolerable, but no where near as good as some of the tracks he layed down in the past. For example, his set at Trance Energy destroyed last night. There was quality hard epic in his Trance Energy set. His set at Republik had a lot of boring tracks with few quality build ups. As for his mixing being flawless, are you guys kidding. I counted 4 times where the beats clipped and could have been fixed a lot quicker than they were. The number one thing that stopped me from dancing was when he butchered the bass on his mixes. Almost all of the mixes where obvious, me personally, thinks a good mix is one that hard to notice. An example of a quality mix would be anything by the Therapist. A flawless mix (let alone set) should keep you moving the entire time. Once again, compared to many djs, it was good mixing, but I expect more from a world class dj.
If nights like this are getting the rave reviews they do, then R.I.P. trance... I guess the days of old are now over! |

actually there are bassbins that are hidden all along the bottom of the stage. Stand in the middle of the stage next time and tell me how it feels ;) ...The ones you refer to are probably the horns which are on the stage which regulate the midrange as far as i know.
If at the beginning of the night it was a little low its because we have to respect our neighbours. Later on though when businesses are closed we are able to juice the system. |

| ya when the base was turned up quite high at the end of johans set, or when he was just gettin off..if you stood right at the top of the stairs on the way to the dj booth. your whole body would vibrate..felt like it was from the feet up, it was pretty cool.. so guess thats why. |

lol is this k la guy for real?...
"The sound was no where near the level of quality the rest of the club was."
-??? translation?
"The bass was at best muffled."
-??? did u have ear plugs on??...
"It had no punch what so ever, of course this would be expected when each bin consisted of one 15" woofer."
-congradulations.. u managed to go around counting the visible woofers on the floor.. how about the ones that arnt visible?
"Dont get me wrong, in comparison to most clubs it was good, just not at the same level as the rest of the Republik."
-what republik?... the rest of the star wars republik?...
"Compared to Stereo, The Docks or Boa, the system at Republik is sub-par."
-U personally know this because u analized the specs and ur an audio engineer...
"As for the z103 comment by whom ever, you make me laugh!"
- that was i... thanks i like to think im funny from time to time..
"The track selection was tolerable, but no where near as good as some of the tracks he layed down in the past. For example, his set at Trance Energy destroyed last night."
-this being trance energy 04.. or 05?.. either or yea they both were good.. 04 superior to 05.. but how can u compare one of the largest trance concerts to republik?.. on a sunday nite...
"There was quality hard epic in his Trance Energy set. His set at Republik had a lot of boring tracks with few quality build ups."
-so lemme get this straight... a dj is now a robot.. and they have to play the same all the time.. right..and thats unique.
"As for his mixing being flawless, are you guys kidding. I counted 4 times where the beats clipped and could have been fixed a lot quicker than they were."
- again.. no ones perfect... maybe they shoulda paid u to go up there in dj since u coulda rode the wheel faster..
"The number one thing that stopped me from dancing was when he butchered the bass on his mixes."
- there was no butchering .. that was u just being anal...
"Almost all of the mixes where obvious, me personally, thinks a good mix is one that hard to notice."
- thanks einstein
"If nights like this are getting the rave reviews they do, then R.I.P. trance... I guess the days of old are now over!"
- what in the world do u know of old trance... let it go buddy..
--- TO sum this up here... stop posting like u have a gr 10 education... you really dont kno what you are talkin about.. stop acting like u do... i dont post on here ever.. in fact this is my 3rd post.. yet ive been comin on this board prolly b4 u were born... but listining to morons like u go on about the scene is just rediculas .. in fact its actually funny... do me a favor go get some decks buy urself a couple of ur "old trance tracks" spin a set and toss it on here.. lets all hear wut u got
peace |

lofl that was hilarious...but true.
I'd love to see this grand wizard of old skool trance k la whip up a set for us all.
I love this line the best..."The track selection was tolerable, but no where near as good as some of the tracks he layed down in the past" hahaha my god u really don't know ur songs????
Man he dropped bomb after bomb..new, old, remix, etc.. His set flowed beautifully, espically the baselines from track to track. Johan knows exactly how to keep people moving, even the asians were under his spell lol..and thats impressive.
haha RIP trance....spread the word TA's...shows over |
