I never leave shows early either, this was the only wmc show I left before the absolute end. Rjt and lucid left early and I wanted to hang out with them, and had no one to go insane with at the club :wtf: I was much happier hanging out at the hotel. His set just didn't seem to go anywhere.. just easy ID after easy ID, very predictable. I probably woulda stayed if the crowd was into it or if there was a crowd by the time I left. Seemed like people just weren't very into it. |

| This party was one of the highlights of my WMC. Even though Desyn and Luke Fair never came.....most of us had a pretty good idea that was not going to happen anyways. Sick tunes all night!!! |

i'm amazed at the number of people who thought Porter played a good set... :nervous:
for those of you who are long-time Porter fans, do you REALLY dig his new mega-mix mixing style???
i've been a HUGE fan of his productions/remixes for a long time now, but this was my first time ever seeing him live... and maybe i'm being too harsh, but i thought his set @ Suite was just terrible. it showed no sense of direction, it was no fun to listen/dance to, and i couldn't get into it when all i heard was 2 or 3 minutes of one bangin' track before he mixed into the next equally bangin' and predictable track. i mean i've heard plenty of older sets from him that were just AWESOME... but i reeeeeally hate the mega-mix style he seems to be so infatuated with now. at one point i took a minute to sit down and i didn't even want to get back up to dance to his set.
i was on drugs and i didn't even want to dance, lol... :wtf: |

I don't know how old you're talking, but he's been playing that mega-mix style for quite some time now. Sorry that you don't like it, but it does seem to keep the energy high in the clubs whenever I've seen him. |

He wasn't playing that way on 6/10/05 when he opened for Sasha... I'd say that's a fairly recent change.
Edit: Also, even after the completion of the "Porterhouse" compilation, he stilled play some sets that I would consider a more "traditional" approach to putting a set together as opposed to the allstar mashup mode he seems to be in (as well as seem think so highly of himself for doing). |

Well maybe the drugs you were on made you THINK his set was not good because that was not what you wanted to hear.........;) |

Sorry m8, it was just plain and simply a bad set.
I wasn't so mashed that all sense of skill, style, and technique left my body.
:p |

Phil & Fluff were AMAZING as openers |
these guys were awesome. we ended up leaving before Porter came on, but these two had us going mental. heard a remix of Eric Clapton - Cocaine that was bonkers... nobody else I spoke to heard this anywhere else.
Do Phil & Fluff have a website or something? |
