i'm a huge fan of a&b productions and many of those from anjunabeats so this was a pretty good night for me musically. tony and paavo played a great set but i felt like something was missing. i was sooooooo excited about paavo in nyc and he was full of energy but not so much in comparison to the last time i saw him. in comparion to december this wasn't as good but i can't really explain what was missing. there were a lot of good vocal tracks (cant sleep, air for life, etc) but the highlight of my evening was Breakfast - The Sunlight :D...love it
as usually great seeing everyone, thanks dan for the postcard and jay for the poster which i gave my roommate as a reminder of her first edm event. too bad they closed kinda early.

| It was okay, I was expecting a lot more, although, everyone says last time they were more amazing. I was, however, so surprised with how many beautiful women there were EVERYWHERE!!!! Wow... the place was just crawling with hot girls that I never woulda thought would spend their night at Pacha for a trance event, I was very pleasantly surprised haha... |

Ahhh what a night! Tony and Paavo definitely tore it up. Opening with Michael Cassette - Zeppelin (holy fukkkkk what a choon), I was instantly pumped and ready to fly. Quickly, the highlight of the night for me was definitely Joonas Hahmo - Sound of Sunday. For whatever reason, Sound of Sunday for me, was the one tune all night that sounded like home on the negatively critiqued Pacha sound system. That Alt+F4-ish (well Joonas is one half of Alt+F4 of course) melody at the breakdown blended right into the classic eighties anjunadeep bass-line sounded so clean and perfect. I especially enjoyed Battery Life (Your Laptop Overheats! Causes Reduced Performance and Lowers Battery life life life life life life life) SVD's remix of King of the Castle (although it was the dub :(), Rank1's not so ordinary remix of A Lifeless Ordinary (MANNNN did that one kill or what, that dark minor chord change to the renown major chord of the original was just ridiculous! Although, Pacha's sound system wasn't really allowing the "farting" bass to reach it's full potential IMO), One Night In Tokyo, Adam Nickey's Never Gone (the Above & Beyond Re-spray), Oliver Smith - Nimbus (this tune defined floating on a cloud), Sunlight (btw how SUNNY is it outside today! Damn!), Nitrous Oxide - Frozen Dreams (omggggg one of my favorite tunes of 2006!!! I was in absolute euphoria!), and to top it all... Randy Katana - In Silence Txitarro Mix !???????????? Holy fukkkkk where did that one come from!???? Aw man what a classic!
But like most of you guys have mentioned, the night lacked the X-Factor, or what you guys call "the magic", that very special night in December had. I believe part of it was due to Tony and Paavo stopping an hour earlier than expected. Usually (well in the case of Dec. 2) that hour is designated as the magic hour, filled with memorable classics thrown back to back. Well... apparently that magic hour didn't exist tonight . Also, many of us (well i know I did) probably got the kick of adrenaline at about 4:30-5 or so.. you know... the time when fatigue suddenly becomes the last thing on your mind... well Tony and Paavo stopping at 5:10-20 certainly didn't help at all. Anyways... is g-money putting up the tracklist? (well he's the main TL man of course :)) If not, I'm here for w/e needs to be filled. :) And it was a pleasure meeting everyone! Btw... Videos and Pics ASAP everyone! :) I have a few on the way as soon as I fully recover for sure. :D

EDIT: OH How could i forget Amsterdam! Lalala And I miss you... arksun + ashley tomberlin = :crazy: :crazy: classic
and Oceanic! That would have been my tune of the night if I had heard the piano clearer... well the whole song in general if it were clearer... |

Ahh! I missed Amsterdam :( I left around 4:50ish mark... right after In Silence - Txitarro Remix. Some other highlights for me (Besides Sound of Sunday which was incredible!) were Til Ya' Drop!, Cold Front - Claessen Mix, and Fly Away - Cosmic Gate Remix. It was my first time seeing A+B and I had really high expectations, especially based on what I heard from their past appearances in NYC... Last night didn't really satisfy what I was expecting. It was a good show, but I guess it was missing that x-factor. |
