Last nite was sooo much fun everytime i go to
Dragonfly i have an amazing time the vibe in
that place is something else everyone's there to have a good time...
Blake Jarrell
This is my 4 time seing Blake last nite he killed it
the first 30mins of his set was kind of slow maybe
b/c the club was not to pack but 45mins later
he pick it up OMFG :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: was luving his mixing the tunes he was playing..
When he played Shadow of the day
the crowd whent :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: he played a few
other tune's that i like but can't re call atm Lol..
i give Blake set 8 out of 10
One thing that PISSED me off was when the crowd started
to yell out Armin's name when Blake was djing :whip: :whip: :whip:
have some respect for Blake as much as i love
Armin i waited for him to come on not like
the rest of you guys :haha: :haha:
Armin Van Buuren
I had a good feeling that he would play much better then
his set at Ultra it was 10 times better OMG :eyespop: :crazy: :eyes: right off the bat the
number 1 dj delivered when he started off with
The Ones That Get Away the place whent :eyes: :crazy: :eyespop: :eyes: :crazy:
Arnej i have nice video for you my friend..
Later he play La Guitarra such a huge ing tunee
but not as HUGE as The Legacy not sure if i heard it
live in a club be4 but wow what an awesome tunee. Then it slow
down when he played Going Wrong i'm like to myself it's going
to go down hill from here but i was sooooo wrong he took
it to the next level with tracks like 6am (K&A Remix)
then Fine Without you the org mix and a few other's but the
track of the nite for me was when Armin played
Dj Eco - Tonight Is Forever (Martin Roth Edit) OMFG :eyespop: :crazy: :eyes: :crazy: :eyespop: :crazy: :eyes: :crazy:

| Dj Eco - Tonight Is Forever (Martin Roth Edit)what a ing track that is wow, especially at a hard fast pace as ARMIN was delivering, along with Activa-Remember Me, Arnej, alphazone, and for playing Erid De Koning-dreamflight(mike nichol remix) one of my current favs from the past month, pretty much just good music all night as usual. |

HAHA well, before even getting to the club, it was an interesting night!! (nice meeting you TRANCEEE) So we are on our way from toronto to niagara. Hit Stoney Creek and...wha? what happens? Car runs outta gas!!!! on the highway!!! so we putter off to the side...coast half way up a off ramp and the car is done. 3 of us get out of the car and start walking for gas....several minutes later we get to the top of the off ramp.. this is going to be a far walk! look down the road...no gas station in site...so what do we do?? HITCH HIKE! hahah theres something i can check off my list of things to do. The moment our thumbs go up a car pulls over. Single guy driving picks up 3 guys walking on side of street, sketchbag? Nahh a great citizen! The guy was from there and took us to the nearest gas station...about a 15 min DRIVE away! holy ! through side streets and all..no way in hell we would have found one. Get there and grab a cannister then drives us back to a previous highway entrance and cruises down till we reach our car and are able to fill it up. Small world, told him we were going to see AVB and he knew the club, who AVB was, said how he used to be at Guv and zone every weekend! :) What great people in this scene I say! Oh, and when we got to the car...damn back seat door was jammed and wouldnt open...accidently i shut it on the seatbelt and after several body chucks, pulling on the handle with all our strength, and giving up and continuing on to niagara, turns out all it needed was a little Vince Love Tap and voila, door opens?! Fcuked up but it all worked out and we got to the club at 11:50!! :) (sadly no time to gamble...)
great night overall. the vibe was unmatched. Crazy energy all night long, not many pushers and shovers but a few over the top drunks.
Ugh but i was not feeling the first 1h45min. BOO. proggy trance? i dunno...he dropped maybe 2 or 3 songs that were alright, but overall i kept asking when is he going to get out of the intro and play some tunes! However, around 2:45am it was all up hill from there!!! Amazing second half, several encors. Love you more was great to hear again, its been a while. Burned with Desire was a great one :) Body of Conflict! that got me going :D
excellent audiance interaction, tonnes of jesus poses, and pretty happy to take pictures and sign autographs all night long. too bad some bouncers were ball busters. Every time I go to dragonfire, the dj finishes and the bouncers push 5 or so girls (the "I give BJs to see DJs" type), to the front of the door, let them take pictures with him, and then tries telling others to leave (obviously a few others got photos..but not many) oh and there were some pretty critical id checks, but at least everyone i knew got in :) Great party overall! got home at 530...left for work at 7....no sketch! (tired as a bitch though) |
OMG I'm still at work and have not slept in almost 36 hours now. BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!!!!! My poor car. This was by far the sketchiest night I've ever had in my entire life. Poor TrancEEEE, I just met this girl and I leave her stranded in a car on the QEW cause I ran out of gas. ing warning light never came on so I thought everything was good. Then Me, Swift, and Alino decide to try and find a gas station after climbing this offramp on fruitland drive in the middle of butt nowhere. Someone picks us up. We get gas, and then he takes us for a little tour of stoney creek while we finally go back to the car. I think it is safe to say at this point we were all ting our pants.
We were determined to make it to Armin no matter what. We made it with 5 minutes to spare...literally. And this is after Swift somehow lodges his belt buckle in between the frame of the car and the door effectivly lodging it shut. lol. Then Vince decides to start cracking jokes about my baldness. . lol. Well Vince saved the day. He somehow dislodges the buckle and we proceed to the club where Armin hands me a one pass for a 3 hour trip to Heaven.
The vibe was great except if you were near the DJ booth. It was pushy as hell up there. But I managed to get a few got pics of the main man himself, and an autograph. Then I decided to temporarily stop being a DJ whore and dance in the area I will call the "TA corner".
Mr. Ra was celebrating his birthday and was dancing away and effectivly keeping a nice open space for us while he was at it:) The quite easily at on point was 20 of us in that area at any given time during Armin's set.
Peter, always good seeing you brother, you always make an event more enjoyable through your passion for the music and hate for wooden platforms.....thus buy slamming it to the beat as hard as you can!!!
My ONLY complaint of the night is the seemingly incurable case of assholism that has infected the secuirty staff at Dragonfly. If you are a pretty girl with you can go anywhere and meet anyone. If you are a regular person or in the case of a self respecting woman, not willing to falsly flirt with the bouncer...you don't get anything but a terrible attitude. There is one bouncer I beleive he is the head bouncer, (the guy with the ponytail) not only cant tell a real ID from a fake one but has an ego inflated to the size of a hot air balloon.
But this is certainly not meant to shadow over the amazing decor and layout of the club itself. It is fantastic. And the summer wednesday party season has finally started!!!! I can't wait to see what other talent they have in store for us!!!
Armin's set itself, like others have posted, I found it a little slow in the start and it seemed that the introduction was little streched out, but man, when he dropped the hammer it was definatly everthing I would've expected from him and more. I was still in pain from Freedom but i really didn't feel it until I was back on the QEW. My only wish is that the rumours of Armin doing a 8 hour set at LOL is true.
Meanwhile, it is definalty time to figure what the is wrong with my fuel gauge. lol.
Crowd: 9/10
Armin: 9/10
Quote of the night: "I don't think 4 litres of gas will get you to Niagara Falls and back to Toronto." - some random sketchbag at the 7/11 |

I got there around 11:30 & heard ppl chanting Armin's name while Blake was playing at least 2 different times b4 Armin went on. I think thats just as bad as booing him. |
