OK, so, I get to Bell Centre and find out my ticket was a fake one. :mad: So I had 1 hr and 20 mins to go home, get more cash, come back, purchase the ticket, find my friends and get on that dancefloor before midnight hit :nervous: I was scared...very scared. But I made it. I got there at around 11:20pm (perfect timing) and it all went smoothly from there. :)
This was my 1st rave and I really tried mentally prepping myself for what I was gonna experience. I shouldn't have bothered. Such an overwhelming feeling when you walk through those curtains and see ALL THOSE FKN CLUBBERS! :eek:
Paul Oakenfold was spinning (if u wanna call it that). I didn't go for him but still, he played a track, he chit-chatted, he did a basic, highly simplistic transition into the next track and he chit-chatted some more. Repeat this for 2 hours. The only time I remember him feeling it was a few minutes after midnight: he was jumping and waving his hands around (maybe he did a line? LOL Cokenfold...) I've said it before, I'm a house girl but I appreciated trance a lil more when I left that party. U2 - With or Without You gave me goosebumps. He played Traffic *yawn* but it was sickkkkkk to hear it at a rave.
Franco Fabi was highly impressive from what I remember. It was him that dropped Du Wut U Du right? I was sitting in the stands when I heard that come on, it was like ! This song! At a rave? SWEET! This huge collective massive sound came from the crowd when the biggest drop in the song hit. It was so nice...
STEVE LAWLER = GOD and I don't give a what any of you say. The ONLY and I mean ONLY bad thing was that he didn't stay the whole 5 hours. He played roughly 3 hours and it was really insanity. That plus more tribal would have been nice too but he's moved away from tribal towards electro and he's still a God. He played a few tracks from Lights Out Vol. 3. And if you guys didn't have the 'connection' with him that night, I feel bad, very bad for you...CUZ I DID :D
Steve Lawler played these tracks from his latest album:
1) Moogment - Alex McCulloch
2) Creaky Thoughts (Original Mix but without vocals) - Anja Schneider
3) Obsessive Sound - Alex Dolby
4) Hugs N Kisses - Criss Source
Stephane Lippe...I knew he was good from what people have told me. I really liked what he played (very dark dirty underground beats) but his style wasn't consistent. (That's what I love about Lawler, u know it's him spinning by his sound). He kept me dancing for a good 2 hours and then I had to rest :( I didn't want to but I started feeling pain hehehe...
One thing which was not needed was that guy Marcus007 mentionned who overdosed. I was dancing with Marcus007 and his crew, and all of a sudden, the guy ceases everything, drops to the floor and begins to convulse uncontrollably. Not to mention the foaming at the mouth. Poor guy...I wanted to cry I was so scared...:nervous:
I left at around 9:30amish. Big smiles :D to all the people who I partied, danced with and saw there. Max, I know you tried telling me how good it was gonna be, but now I know that words can't express that feeling ;) I'm so happy about my 1st rave experience all together. And I can't wait to dance again :toocool:
My right leg is totally fkd. :crazy: After 13 hours of that kind of dancing, I'm surprised I'm not dead hehehehe...
Oh yeah, my night didn't end there. At 9:45am, I was in a cab going to see Howells at Aria...check my review out on that thread...:eyespop: |

I went to see a security guard and the guy ran off mumbling "I know, I know". I think someone had already told him.
I asked a paramedic later in the morning and he told me they got the guy to an ambulance right away and he's safe. I think its true because it looked like someone had poured a bucket of water on him and he seemed to return to reality...
Erika, don't worry about your long review, all that matters is that you enjoyed yourself. Right back at you. ;) |

WOW that guy who OD'd was pretty scary... ridiculous...
I came all the way from Toronto.. I liked the party a lot, and ive never been to one as big as this. The set up was awesome considering I haven't seen any Celebrations before this. I got the shivers when I walked into the arena through that hallway. Absolutely nuts!
Sean Miller ripped that bitch. The highlight of the whole night was when he dropped "Dr Kucho! - Disc Doctor (Side B Tribal Ave Mix)"... It sounded amazing.
As for Lawler, yes it was dissapointing that his set was really short. Last time he was in Toronto for his LO3 tour he dropped pure tribal tracks. It was different to hear a lot of electro this time. I found his set amazing.
That DJ after him was really repetitive after like the 5th song.
All in all it was a good party and I look forward to comin back next year. |

| So apparently, I learned (through Louis this afternoon) that Sean Miller was on the decks for only 18 minutes before Lawler came on, and that Franco Fabi was spinning the entire time before that. Thus, I ammend my review to include a big thumbs up to Fabi for an awesome set, and a great 18 minutes of Sean Miller :p |
