| Holy fawking balls this party is still going full blast. Mr. Van Buuren blew the doors off the place and A&B are playing a massive set and are interacting like I've never seen them. People are so tired they're being rolled out in stretchers but still the vibe is amazing right now. Taking a quick stretching break to prep for PREACH. I swear this has been the best party of my life. More later...A&B just dropped Dangerous Power. CHOON!!! I'm dead now. |

WOW!!!!
We got there sometime after 10 to avoid a line up, and have to admit there was no problem getting in - everything moved well and there was no drama with the organization for the whole party. Wandered around to get the feel of the place and figure out where everything was (surprised to see the house room being so much smaller than the tech room).
Grondin played a good set and got me into the night. Then Rauhofer came on and yet again I have to admit I just don't get his popularity...guess its just not my thing. Wandered over for a bit to the TECH room and caught a bit of Second Sun...and they put on a good show, but once you have seem them once you have seen then all you need to. Went back to the house room and caught the last 10 minutes of Rauhofer's set and it was much better than when I had left.
Maya came on and despite some technical problems (the cd was skipping) which caused her to stop half way through her first song she really got the crowd into it and that was the start of the night for me musically.
After hearing Nat talk about Offer Nissim so much I was really looking forward to checking his/her set out (for the rest of this review I'm going to assume that Offer is a guy who just looks like a really ugly girl with really long arms and fingers). Offer Nissim was incredible. He really is a ing nut case behind the decks - arms wailing, conducting an invisible orchestra, singing, clapping, the crowd ate it up. He makes Jon Jon look like Paul Van Dyk behind the decks - I have never seen a DJ having so much fun playing as he was.
I took a break and went and sat down to save some energy for DD. During this time Nat texted me to ask how the party was and how Offer and Maya did. My reply at 7:53 am was "Offer ing stole the show, DD will not be better".
I was WRONG.
Dubfire came on at 8AM and proceeded to royally BEB over. I have never heard him play that hard and dirty (very Lawlerish) - I was right in front of the stage for the entire 2 hours he played (I briefly contemplated taking a piss underneath the stage so I wouldn't miss any of his set - but I just held it) - good thing Sharam finally showed up and took over at 10AM. Stayed until 10:45 and finally left cause my legs were dead).
Coles notes version - Dubfire and Offer Nissim FTW.
Looking forward to next year already.
Please take this review for what it is worth - my brain hurts after Decadence and 3 days in Montreal. |

Nice review Jay!
I've heard Jeremie go on about Offer when he played at Parking...didn't know he was booked for BeB tho. |

Wow! Offer Nissim is totally my new favourite DJ! Wowzers. He's absolutely nuts - almost circus freakish, but WOW, he absolutely BLEW the room away.
I need to find a copy of his remix of "One Night Only"!! |

I'll keep it simple as I am as Fahad said: dead.
Trance is dead, Ferry killed it. But starting this morning at 1 when SVD started his set, then with AVB blowing our minds off, A&B topping it off and Preach finishing off, all hell broke loose. Trance resuscitated and that, just in time for easter!
Holy ing hell! What a night!
I haven't seen as many beauties in lingerie as I've seen tonight in my whole life!
Similarly, as my girlfriend pointed out, it was mutual, but then the male cuties where holding hands. If it weren't for them kissing and massaging each other, I'd have had a boner all ing night long!
(no disrespect indented, but 2 guys kissing turns me off)
Back to the story, at 6, my gf takes a cab home, I stay.
I go at the right of the stage while Armin was playing and I see a guy with a white towel. The first thing that comes to mind is 
This is how I meet M. Fahad (hope I spelled it correctly).
Two minutes later, whom do I see? A MTLTA mod like person holding a huge ass camera! That could only be Malek! :P So there, I met two TA in 5 minutes, doubling my know TA list.
Other than that, I leave it to your wildest imagination. :P |
