Above & Beyond In NYC
June 1st 2007 New York City- Above and Beyond came to Pacha New York to celebrate their latest compilation, Anjunabeats Volume 5, and the continued success of their weekly radio show “Trance Around the World”. Made Events (www.madeevents.com) presented this event and has definitely become the premier trance promoter in New York. Usually only two of the three members show up, and this time Tony and Paavo were on the decks. New York’s own Jason Jollins (Acute Recordings) opened up the night, he has also opened up for the likes of Armin Van Buuren and Ferry Corsten in the past, so it was no surprise that his opening set was a great one that had the crowd dancing and clapping along.
Above and Beyond can proudly say that they are trance DJs/producers, while others seem to be bothered when they are called trance DJ’s, A&B seem to relish it. Some criticize the fact that they seem to play only trance tracks, but I believe that’s what the fans come to hear and they never disappoint. A&B also have no problem spinning their own tracks, they spun Air For Life, Can’t Sleep, Razorfish, No One on Earth, among others. While others seem hesitant to play their own “worn out” tracks, A&B understands that there are those that come from all over to see them and enjoy hearing the hits. Not to say they don’t come through with cutting edge stuff, Sander Van Doorn’s latest release of King of the Castle and Cosmic Gate’s Analog Feel were among some of the newer tracks played. Their own vocal tracks as well Luminary’s Amsterdam, had the crowd singing along the whole night.
A&B seem to really embrace their fans, signing autographs, reading the texts on mobile phones that are handed to them, and just seemingly enjoying themselves. They do not have the “look” of the bigger name DJ’s, but that’s what makes them so accessible to the masses. I’ve attended many events across the EDM world, and the guys of A&B always have the energy as if it’s their 1st time in front of a big crowd and appreciate every minute of their success. When the DJ’s are having a good time it’s like a virus that spreads across the club.
The low point of the night was the extreme heat inside the club. The world famous Pacha uses fans as air conditioners and the people at the club had a hard time dealing with the immense heat. With the high drink prices, the least Pacha could do is have their patrons made to be comfortable. The big problem in the EDM scene right now here in NYC is there aren’t many big clubs any more, just a couple of years ago Roxy, Crobar, Spirit, Avalon, and others were fighting for customers. All those named have since closed sown, and Crobar has changed management and owners and is not bringing in the first class DJs anymore, so Pacha is left to dominate the club world here in New York. The lack of completion is not good for the clubbers and opens the door for many problems, let’s hope another super club surfaces soon. |

I had an o.k. time. It was WAY TOO Hot for me to enjoy myself 100%. IT totally took all the energy I had and killed it. A&B was okay, it wasn't as upbeat as I thought it would be but I still had a good time. The energy from Paavo was what I think kept everyone going. OH and dude it was extra hot that day and NO ONE put on any extra deodarant. It smelt so bad in there, some of you dudes need to shower :)
Overall had a good time but hope there are some more bangin parties this summer then A&B on Friday.

YUP he's into the reefa again...........
steven you need to relax you are insulting a whole bunch of people you dont even know. I dont even know who you are referring to, but your presumptions of people based on (what, a review I guess?) show immaturity and your lack of character. ease up. You can not possibly know a persons character based on what they write on a message bored. If that was the case then you would have no friends, but you do am I right? |

see how packed it was? :whip: its cuz stupid Studio Mezmor was closed that night so everyone came here. ugh. i heard a rumor they are gona close that place down eventually but nothing confirmed (i wouldnt be surprised if its true though!)
u know most of us prefer venues like LOVE, Sullivan room, and any other venue that will host parties other than Pacha (which i have hated on since the beginning.
probably the LAST superclub party we are attending this summer. it was fun to see our friends first then Above n Beyond second whose radio show we like (yeah *i* admit it :p) but other than this, thats it IMO. no reason to be cooped up indoors in a hot sticky club wall-to-wall full of sweaty ppl during the summer right? plenty of other fun things to do.
next party: Preach then possibly just Thrillseekers + beloved locals August 17 :D |

lol I dont. I get in for free, the bouncers are really nice to me, the guestlists have never once given me a problem, I love the DJ's (or I wouldnt bother going), and even when their sets are mediocre I find other ways to have fun....and the heat comes with the territory. Plus this is the first time in ages its been hot enough to say so.
chillllzzzz......and you dont need to single out anyone to insult them steven, anyone with average intelligence knows this. c'mon do you seriously ALWAYS have to be bitching about something. YOu dont even go to these events so why does ANY of this thread bother you so much? |
