I got home from Ottawa at 9am and slept til 6pm, woke up, got ready while listening to Preach's Relic Mix album hahahaha and then met shawn05 and mitsutranza, got to BeB at 10pm. The search went well, I was expecting to get a more thorough one tho, considering the event. Got inside, straight to the Tech room, where I saw a pretty empty room. I went out to get a water bottle. When I got back, it was packed. I saw Marco 3 times this weekend, and he's just insane. I like sooooo much about him as a DJ: tracks, energy, the way he pumps himself and the crowd up, it's awesome to see. Every time I heard "Ladies and gentlemen, Start Your ENGINESSSSSSS....!" I went insane. He also dropped Punch Drunk - Cirez D which is madness imo.
Fanciulli came on and raped me. This insane combination of electro-acid-prog he had going on the ENTIRE time was ridiculous. I can't say much about him except that I was blown away overall. A bit :( he didn't drop his own production Squirrled but, my God he was amazing.
Then shawn05 killed my amazing time by smacking my back many times til I noticed him pointing directly to the stage and I saw a guitar. We tapped many TAs on the shoulder, grouped and marched right out of there. I kinda pretty much ran away just as IM played that little guitar sound. I got out just as their first way-too-fast-145bpm beat came on. I made it out alive, we got to the House room, Ghetta was on, the look on his face scared us more so shawn05 ran away and escaped back to IM, and the rest of us stayed.
Mon dieu...du psyc trance apres du fkn bon Nic = :nervous:
I drifted to the house room and caught the end of Say What You Want, my God I love that track. Guetta was a disaster imo. It was never more than 3 minutes of decent cheese, fade out, (cue in me and all-nite-freak yelling "Someone ed my washing machine" during entire silence lmao...), a lil Tiesto/Armin pose from David, all the mingia bros going nuts, fade in, huge drop, repeat above. Not good.
Rauhofer was good for 25 minutes, then it got bad, so I went back to the Tech room, endured Armin for 30 mins, way too fluffy for my liking, I heard some harder stuff later but whatever.
Then I chilled.
And thank God I did.
I took a break for about 2 and a half hours before Preach got on. I chilled with lots of TAs, so much fun :) Then Mitsutranza text msgd me at 9:08am and said "He's on!"
I went over almost immediately, got in, saw the only braves ones left (you know who you are!) and began to enjoy one of the most flawless and mind-blowing live sets I have ever heard.
It was pure insanity, music I personally haven't experienced on that level in a while, if not, ever. There was never a dull moment, a bad mix, a so-so track...It was just soooooo great!
I ended up in the booth with him for the last 2 hours of his set. I was so happy I got to see what he was doing again...he has this finesse when he mixes, this particular something I haven't seen in any DJ. I can easily say I have never seen a DJ so calm, cool, and collected that delivered such a BANGING set. It was a pleasure chilling with you Phillippe, you really transformed that morning into something ELSE.
SO MANY TAs to mention whoooooaaaaa...Mitsutranza, shawn05, magikb, allnitefreak, anne, karl24, lopitrance, fastmp3, plumpfunk, FunKenLouis, Vermz, Piper, J@y, Enjoy, Jester, Marcus007, TheDevil, malek, Light78, sure there are more. Luv you all :)
An unbelievable, incredible night.
An unexpected, unspeakable morning.
Juat awesome :)
See you bitches at Sander...

So, gonna jump into the thread kinda late, but I haven't had much of a chance to get online seeing as this week has been a bit on the tired side ever since getting home on Monday night from Mtl ;)
I thought BeB was OFF THE HOOK!!!! Way better than last year. Got in around 2 am... No line at all with VIP and didnt seem to be too big of one for non-VIP also. Anyways, was yet another one of the 'suckahs' (quoting Oneeleven) who paid $3.50 for coatcheck... was pissed off about the t-shirt... this guy told me at the coatcheck that I have to be VIP-2 to get a free one.. WTF?!??! NONSENSE!! but anyways, once we got in, Infected was already on... and they freaking rocked out... I was dancing hard to their whole live performance and to most of their dj-set... They had so much freaking energy... and knowing a lot of their songs helped me get into it, since I've been a fan for a while... When they played, I'm the Supervizor, MAJOR BONKERS! :crazy: same with I Wish, and same with Muse Breaks.... Checked out house room around 4:45ish, had a poopy repetitive overly-loud beat on for about 15 minutes, and it was just boring... Hence headed back for the end of the IM set... Armin came on with Coldplay - Talk and White Sand back to back... I got on the other side (I was on the tech side) of the VIP cuz I thought I could get an auto but that side wasnt too close to him... Luckily ran into the one and only hero of the night, Malek, who took my Armin T-Shirt and got it signed for me... THANKS!!!! :) And he took a pic of me... which was cool cuz I didnt see many photographers on the other side of the VIP room taking pics.
Armin's set, although started out a bit on the dreamier/floatier side, got really really really hard... He went from prog -> electro -> hard tech/trance... For the last 1.5 hours, he was just killing it... I was dead tired but every new hard beat gave me more and more energy with him... He was on his game, and from what I heard, much more so than in Toronto on Thursday... Was NUTS when he threw down that remix of Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams... whole place blew up.. and the vibe during Nic Chagall - Monday Bar was my shivers-up-the-spine moment :) I left right before Armin ended, since the bus was leaving at 11:45 and had to make sure to get on there on time.
I thought the VIP was well worth it.. It wasn't too crowded, and having room is really important when you are dancing for that long.. I thought the DJ booth/stage was way too far from people in general... but I really dug how the whole stage was shaking (I'm guessing that was planned?) And the white benches, standing on those, and overlooking the WHOLE party while feeling the whole stage shake and jumping with it... PRICELESS :)
VIBE = 10/10
Females were like WOW.. even better than last year... = 9.5/10
Music = 9/10... Thank god for IM and Armin :)
Best party I've ever been to...
Only met Light78, and saw Malek... Didn't run into NeoHacker as I expected to :( I met Shea from Toronto who as she said is 'sorta' on TA... She's the official Ferry Corsten T-Shirt maker from what she said :) Also think I saw Nada and some of the other TOTA girls dancing on the tech-booth side of the VIP on the white benches but wasn't sure it was them so I didn't say hello cuz I was being shy hahah...
Anyways, thanks to BeB for yet another awesome MTL experience... :) |
