I think I haven't posted in over a year on here! But I had to for this party. Hands down excellent party. I got there around 12:40. No problems at the door. Parking was only $10.00 which was nice...some spots around space were hitting $40-50...ouch! Got inside...impressed! I had never heard of this place but once inside it is super nice. They have the patio with rivers and waterfalls really nice. Once inside it's divided into a main room, and 2-3 other lounges. The place is a restaurant so anyone saying "the smell of fish" or whatever gimme a break, they were cooking and obviously people eating so its gonna smell like food. Honestly I didn't smell anything so whatever. Anyways worked my way to the main room when I got there must have been about 500 people...Pretty much a private show. A&B were on and more! I missed them at BED so this more than made up for it. SVD...A++...B&J kept it going for another 2 hours or so...they finished around 6:30 i think...or 7:30..I guess I missed the whole Tiesto fiasco cause I was dead tired...I'm sure I left with him playing. One thing I will say is this...THE DAMN PLACE WAS A RUNWAY SHOW! OH MY GOOOOOODNESS!!! Those little shorts with the high heels and legs....to die for! Best $30.00 spent...one more thing...drinks are toooooo much $15.00 each... |
500 people? dude you are crazy. there was less than 100-200 people in the mainroom the WHOLE time! and yes, the smell is fish is gross i just dont want to smell it if im going out to a "club." if was going to chilis or hooters then well i'd be more accepting of that fact.
and finally, svd owned everybody! he showed a&b and b&j what real music is, but i doubt they caught on anyway. :stongue: |

Yea as stated earlier---VAN DOORN brought it. My first time seeing him live--or really even hearing him mix---unbelievable! Can't wait to catch him around next time. A & B were good--and they're excellant producers---but SVD was on another level that night.
As far as the smell--i didn't smell anything. I loved the woman as i walked through that area---but didn't spend long enough time in those areas to notice it. But i agree--it's a huge place...and it is a club/lounge/restaurant....you just deal with it. When in the gardens or main area it was fine obviously. people who like the restaurant lounge scene (and alot do) will have to deal with smells i guess.
Loud?? HELL YEA it was loud! BUt, for SVD i am glad they kept it at the level. Maybe it felt alot louder b/c it was so empty in there, but i'm pretty sure that system is just ridiculous. I have left space with ringining a lot worse than that night; however, i also kept moving in/out to smoke and walk around so that may have saved me. NICE PICS Gjorji, lookin' forward to VIDEOS b/c my camera died out. Hopefully i can download them for myself in some way to keep.
OVERALL the best party i've been to in a LONG while. More people in mainroom would have made it even more special--greater vibe. |

Great DJ's, incredible venue, everything was just wonderful!!
So our group gets to the club around midnight. Had to wait maybe 10 min to get in, something went wrong with the will call, no biggie. We walked in thru the restaurant area, didn't smell any fish, and went on into the main room.
The first DJ who played was doing ok, except for the volume, it was just way too loud. Once Above & Beyond started, the sound system began to sound a lot better; probably the sound people noticed the 'loudness' as well. A&B did quite well. Played some nice tunes to get you in the mood:
Some tunes they played:
Cara Dillon Vs 2devine - Black is the Colour (A&B Rmx?)
Cosmic Gate - Consciousnes
Gabriel And Dresden Ft Jan Burton - Dangerous Power
Ferry Corsten - Beautiful (Re Locate Remix)
Above & Beyond Feat Andy Moor - Air For Life
Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down (??? Remix ???)
Cosmic Gate - Analog Feel
Above & Beyond - Alone Tonight
Above & Beyond - Good 4 Me
Onto the man of night...Sander Van Doorn! Wow! Earlier in the week he played at the Fifth on SoBe. Only got to see him for a few min that night, had a gig to play. Anyway, from the review and from friends, he tore it up! And this night he did as well! Incredible! From start to finish, relentless with the tunes! One after another, getting harder, faster, everyone loved it!!
Some tunes SvD played:
Kyau & Albert - Are You Fine (??? Remix ???)
Armin Van Buuren - Control Freak (Sander Van Doorn Remix)
Randy Katana - Another Wave
Armin Van Buuren vs Rank 1 Feat Kush - This World Is Watching Me (Cosmic Gate Remix)
Tiesto - Flight 643 (Richard Durand Remix)
Cara Dillon Vs 2devine - Black is the Colour (??? Remix ???)
Nic Chagall - What You Need (Hard Dub)
Last but not least, Blank & Jones came on. By this time, the crowd had thinned out, but still a decent amount of people on the dance floor moving. Didn't get to stay too long after they started playing, maybe 15min or so before we headed outside on the patio. The only track I remember them playing was Catch. On our way outside, we heard that a special guest DJ was coming to play. Someone had said 'the king' was coming. My friends started joking around saying "oh yea, the burger king guy is gonna be here to spin" :wtf: :tongue2 We were corrected and told it was Tiesto! We couldn't believe it! We couldn't stay to find out anyway, but it looks like he was there. For those who were there for it, im sure it was a great time! :)
Can't wait for next year's WMC!!! |
