I didnt see anyone else throwing this up so I thought I would give it a shot.
Arrived very early...around 9:30. They didnt open up the Guvernment until about 11pm. Got into the Guvernment and pretty much waiting for Sander to hit the stage...
I think Sander killed it up there. Alot people on the board said it wouldnt be anything special but I totally disagree...it was madness he played some great tunes. I did check out every room throughout the night but always ended up making my way back to Sander because I just couldnt get my mind off of the beats he was playing in there.Way too many sketch bags though, I think I saw 3 people pass out from total e-tardation. Oh and some asian dude was trying to fight me out of the blue for NO REASON whatsoever and his GF was trying to push him back...but on the same token I met alot of great people just having a good time. Ive been to the Guv for many special events and I was suprised that they werent frisking anyone on the way into the koolhaus. I couldve brought in a ing shotgun if I wanted too. All in all a great night...left at around 6:15 am because my legs were going to give out from hours of complete madness.

To be honest I dont know 100% but I came out at 3am and I left at around 6:30ish so Im guessing till 7am. I could be wrong though |

I agree. In general, for me anyway, there was a really positive vibe at guv last night. Sander played 3-6 I believe, and his set was loads of fun. I heard a couple tracks twice last night, once my MO and again by SK: Deadmau5's remix of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and Dave Spoon's At Night (although it may have been 2 different mixes). He also dropped Phantom part 2 by Justice. There was also an AC/DC and a Killers song. Overall Sander K's set was very upbeat, and I had no real inclination to leave the room until close to the end. I also don't remember hearing This is Miami, which doesn't really bother me.
The place was PACKED till about 3, but it got much better after that. There was the usual sketch factor, though once you got over that it seemed like a lot of the people were just there to have a good time. I met a lot of first-timers at Guv, which was fairly refreshing, as well as a bunch of familiar faces from past parties.
I also couldn't help but notice that they installed a bunch of new lasers inside Guv. I'm really hoping it wasn't temporary, as the laser light show was hella cool. There was a really good one in the front and centre, with lots of colours and effects, and they really used it a lot. I'm not sure if the ones in the back corners were actual lasers or just reflecting the front ones, but they added to the effect. It's also possible that those two have always been there, and I just hadn't noticed. Either way the lasers were very impressive, and frequently used.
Overall, it was a great night. Met a lot of cool people, danced my ass off, and started 2008 on the right track. I'm super sore and braindead right now, but definitely do not regret going to Guv for New Years.
Anyone have pics? |

Maybe its my taste of music, but in all honesty I felt Sander sucked big ing balls.
Cheesy tunes, major boring music, every time I walked through main room from where the real party was (orange room, Gallery) everyone looked like zombies, hardly moving, mild energy.......over all BLAH.
Thats not to say I didnt have fun. I rarely do in the main room at guv anyways. |

Yup the new installed lasers are top notch and I believe Guv is the only club to have it in North America i've been told from the technician who was installing it. The new laser system can made different shapes in the air its pretty awesome I was there when he was testing it...
I believe they will be permanently installed just above the entrance into guv...

The different combinations of shapes, colours, and effects seemed endless. Definitely a sweet laser. |

k better review time. prepartied at a hotel and then left to guv around 1015. went to the booth line where i ran into sean kane to get our tickets and stuff for table. we go up to our area and feel it out. the booths in the deluxee lounge were well spaced, quite glad i choose deluxe. not all of our group showed up at the same time so i was sorting out entry and info etc. finally everyone showeed up and we get into party mode. many drinks later, i head over to the drink where joee is dropping a great set. def was a nice warm up for me. spent maybe an hr in there.
then decided to go down to the gallery... wow... it was bumping in there. the vibe was pretty solid except for the random sketchies trying to dance with my girls and me having to get rid of them. felt i was gonna get in a fight a few times. but def stayed there with much of my london crew and rocked it on the right hand side for a few hrs. then decided to check out orange room where dekoze dropped a pretty rocking set. def given'r there but was starting to get tired. got kicked out of orange room and checked out the main room. i hardly saw any of sanders set. he played some good tracks but nothing special compared to orange and gallery. MO came on very soon and played a pretty good closer. not as hard as i thought he would, but still great. left around 8.. cuz my ride wanted to stay that long. lol oh well.
all in all, a great new years party. one of my better times there for a while.
