OHHH WAT A CRAZY/SKETCHY NIGHT!!!!!!
got there round 12-12:30 and Blake was finishing up....so i wont review him....but the sound went out on him n we had to booo a lil couldnt deal with the silence.....
Armin came on stage n juss started to BANG OUT ALL THE HITS.....9.5/10
Shultz was sik....didnt enjoy him as much as Armin but he did Armada proud for sure....8.5/10
I couldnt believe SkyBar was open even if there wasnt no dj up there it was awesome to be up there n enjoy the night n view of the city.....cant wait for Ferry to be up there......
It was great seeing Sonja n Jenn there....u girls rock......
Tune of the Night-I cant pick juss one tune but the last hour of Armins set 3:45-4:45 was just a lesson on how Armin will take #1 spot on DJMag top100 this year....
Buzz kill of the night-Yes yes yes sketched out asians n pushy crowards are on my list but half of are group bounced at 4 so that was ....
ooooh n I got Shultz to sign a cd cover for me that was pretty cool of him.......
Overal Review - 9/10 |

I recognized you for sure, at which point I did the recognized ozmozis dance, which I had specially coreographed by Molly Jonson, head of the choreographers union. |

I really hate that remix with a passion. It's just another Tyas scheme to slap on a new bassline and change a few things.
Cheesy as . |

P.P.S. A party first - - - saw some couple blowing this menthol, nose inhaler type thingy all over each others faces (one of those things your supposed to inhale for a stuffy nose, like Vicks or soemthing) then my friends got in on the action. Out of curiosity i had to try it out. Asked her for just a bit, she blows this all over my face and mouth. My face felt cold and tingly for like half an hour. I felt like a walking Halls. |

So began my second stop of my weekend of crazy partying.
Got in around 11pm. Thought that was when Blake Jarrell was to start but MO only had an hr slot (ok? what's the point?) Anyways, despite the technical problems, I thought he spun a pretty good prog set. But since he was 'warming' up for Armin, I guess he threw in few cheesy vocal tunes which I didn't enjoy. Would love to see him as a headliner or not warming up for armin when he can get down dirty and nasty. Good job Blake. 7/10
Armin... Well, this was my 4th time (I think) seeing Armin. Well, I guess he confirmed how much I got away from trance. If he's the poster boy for trance, I want nothing of it.
Ok. I admit it. I hate cheese vocal trance, but until around 3:30 when he played a lot harder, it was just random ASOT tracks w/ terrible programming. Well, the crowd loved it. I didn't. I really tried to keep an open mind and gave Armin a chance, but other than dropping Super Nature, he lost me completely. I checked out the Gallery and the Drink for a while just because I couldn't stand what he was playing. 3/10, only because the Jesus pose is so expertly done, and he does have a good stage presence.
Markus Schulz... WOW. WOW. WOW.
First time seeing him. Def. won't be the last time.
He started very, very slow and proggy. I think he did that on purpose so that only people who are serious about seeing Schulz would stick around. Actually, a lot of people did leave after Armin's set, leaving more room for others to dance.
Just a twisted mind the entire set. Generally, it had a bit of dark feel to it. Loved how he played a lot of variety of prog, fast and slow, also there was a 20 min bit when played a bunch of techy stuff (like Roland Klinkenberg - What's the Point) When it looked like he was losing the crowd, he drops a trancey vocal tune, still with a dark feel and the crowd goes back into it. Good stage presence, good programming and track selection.
Somehow, his encore tune, Air for Life is cheesy as , but it fit his set as a conclusion.
I talked to Markus at Fluid later, and he said that was the Markus Schulz afterhours special. If you guys have a chance to see him at a late/early morning, do so, if you like the dark proggy sound.
10/10
Random thoughts
-KH was perfect for the proggy sound that night.
-LOL@taking the guv green lasers and putting it in KH
-Whoever designed the lighting system needs to be shot, taken outside and beaten a few times with a stick. What idiot puts bright lights at eye level, blinding people each ing time? Annoying!
-When Nada goes on dancing spree, get the away from her! She's a machine :D
-Fahad, there were times when you were just entranced by Schulz's set that nothing can distrupt your thoughts.
-LOL@creative usage of the table and the cloth to hide TOTA properties. :p
-Is it me, or did the Asian sketch arrange it so that they gathered all at the same place?
-Whoever thought to open up the KH garage door for extra smoking space and people to chillout if got too hot, is a genius!
-Armada crew... You guys are nuts! Love it! (How come Lisa didn't get a shirt? Or does being a Ferry whore prevents one from being an Armin whore?) :p
-Shoving Asians. Whatever. Get used to it, or don't come to the Guv. That elbow pad with 6" spikes to elbow shovey people does sound enticing though. I agree that it's such a vibe killer.
-Speaking of vibes, admittly I wasn't into Armin's set, but people were having a good time. Best vibe I've seen in KH in a while.
-The Anthem is the gheyest trance tune ever. Worst Filo & Peri production ever. (and I don't think they suck)
-For you househeads, I think you guys would have enjoyed Schulz and Jarrell, if you guys like progressive
-Boy, do I love that rolling prog house bassline!
-Only one person recognized me by my purple shades and TA shirt. Pfffft. Don't be shy. I don't bite. Say hi if you see me! :p
-If the music isn't occupying your mind, at least check out the girls. Holy a lot of hot girls (and a lot wearing just a bikini top with nice boobs) Jamie, you would have approved.
-LMAO at the scene when some guy tried to get on one of those stages when the guv dancers were dancing. The guv dancer just threw him off into a bunch of crowd. Funniest thing I've seen at Guv
Overall: 8/10 (Only b/c Armin sucked so bad, otherwise would have been at least a 9
Tune of the Night: Stoneface & Terminal - Super Nature |
