Holy crap, Armin went off!!! Especially the first two hours. The room was jam-packed, seriously tight, and about 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the place. Lots of room over in the hip hop room - hehe. It got to the point the bouncers started to block the doorways to prevent more people from pushing in!
Boris warmed up the crowd until just after midnight, and when Armin stepped up, the very first track was all Armin. It just got better and better and around the end of the second hour, he built it and dropped "This World is Watching Me (Armin van Buuren vs Rank 1 featuring Kush" and the the roof friggin blew right off. Front to back, even the posers were bouncing! It was seriously AWESOME. Armin looked like he was really having a great time, too.
After that he got a little more progressive and deep, which fell kind of flat. Partly because it seemed right about here the sound system was really acting up. The bass was coming and going and someone kept running up to the decks to talk to Armin (presumably about the sound), and for a bit everything got turned way down, and between the distractions and everything, he lost the crowd. But after about 15 mins he started to get back to more of that typical Armin synthed/euphoric sound and build it up again. It was back to going pretty strong when we cut out of there around 3 AM. It was tough to leave but my friend and I both have little kids so we knew there'd be no real sleeping in.
Last night Armin's set was 10X better than when he was at On Broadway last year. He really played the club, not just doing a live version of ASOT or something. I'm soooo glad I went. Woooooo!! :D |

Heh, yeah, no biggie though. We already did shots in the car to get a little cheap buzz going before paying for the $8.50 well drinks.
As far as it being super-packed, that was going to be a question from me. I liked the club and would like going back on a "normal" night with my wife sometime (sadly, she doesn't like trance.) But I know she'd also freak if it's always that packed. The 30-man line for the bathroom kind of sucked, too. Felt like I was at a Chargers game..!
As far as tracks go, I'm bad at that, especially lately. I don't have the listening opportunities I used to so I'm not up to date. One track I was tripping on right before we left started out sounding like a difficult to identify remix of Cream, but then the more I listened I think it was a difficult to identify remix of Zocalo, but nothing I'd heard before. |

Sounds good buddy! So how was the line-up in utrecht lol love that even even if the 06 was not thaaat good but those before AWESOME !:whip: |
My two favorites, Rank 1 and Sander van Doorn, played there so I couldn't have been happier :D TE was definitely the best & craziest event I've ever been to!
Anyway, about last night....one word: interesting....:nervous:
Several names were missing from the guestlist, a bouncer's comment about the line: "the line normally doesn't move this slow but they have a retard working there (at guestlist)," a friend could never go smoke a cigarette because every bouncer told him differently where/how/if he could do that, bouncers basically calling each other incompetent, the main room was hot as a sauna, I spent more money on booze than ever at a club and still couldn't get a buzz going, the line to the guys' bathroom was three times as long as the girls' every time my friend went there because of "stupid drunk guys who were peeing on the floor etc." :p
The venue just couldn't handle somebody big like Armin :( Some people left at the beginning of his set already because it got too crazy in the main room. And I hate to say this but the SD party crowd is different from the LA crowd, and not in such a good way....It seemed like half of LA was at Belo last night tho so it made the night much more fun :) Armin's set was too fluffy for me as expected but then again I wasn't there for the music. I just came to say hi to a couple of Dutch guys :D Armin did play a few cool songs tho, including Joop's Future which brought back nice memories from Trance Energy *daydreaming* :gsmile: Groupie girls were in full force again trying to get to Armin and/or his booking agent, which was entertaining to watch while I was bored with the music :tongue2 I was quite amused with some of the guys too who yelled things like "I love you, Armin!" and "I want you to be the father of my babies!" and they were dead serious! :stongue:
Great to see all the TAs and it was very nice meeting LAGrooveJunkie, Andrieux and Bossanova! (I hope I didn't forget anyone...) |

Fun times!!! Wish it was in a bigger venue or even better outdoor (like Tiesto in TJ).
I know he played a Cosmic Gate - Should have known remix. Boris MD played the Wippenberg remix but Armin's was a little different.
My friends and I had the Megashira song in our heads before the night started so it was nice to hear him drop that track.
Gotta check out of my hotel room now. Thanks for a great night SD! |

YEEEEEEEEESSS!!! I had that song as my ringtone back in '98! :D Boris played Faithless - Insomnia (remix) which was one of the highlights for me too. I used to dance to that song at a club in Finland in '94....gosh, I feel old....:o |
