i'll make this short and sweet...just like the set.
mark opening was meh. didn't get me moving at all.
CL's set was quite good but too short. he could've gone another 30-45min easily instead of ending at 3:40.
the sound was pretty bad. even in the spot where it's usuall good.
there was a bit more "wierdness" than usual for me at least. and it wasn't even sketchyness, it was just wierd.
but all in all, it was a free event so i can't really complain. i defintely would've been a lot more pissed off if i paid to get in.
good seeing ben, navid, chris, mikey (thanks again for the ride man), sagar (nice meeting you), and pavel.

How I wish Guv had a much better sound system,I moved around the club like 10 times to find the best spot,and everywhere I went there was something missing,the only place(sadly)that you can hear things with much better was the smoking patio. I hope the next mutli million renovation next time will include a brand new sound system with some proper tweaking.
There is no sweet spot at the guv, sound is everywhere.

I ended up checking this event out last night, certainly not for CL tho!
For the majority of the time i was at the Sky Bar which was happenin'. Lotsa people enjoying themselves and not too rammed. Manzone&Strong layed down some solid tracks, i was feeling it. Had a great time for sure, the guv complex was goin off last night, vibe seemed better than usual, but i was with a great crew. All in all great night out.

On a side note, I just want to give a big thank you to the guvernment. You always manage to pack every room to the point that breathing is a privilege and are home to the worst soundsystem in the country. Congrats and good luck on the DJ Mag Best Club List as well as Tony Monaco's hair gel beach parties.
Cheers
It's a in club get used to it. Go to Space when CC is spinning and find out what packed is all about.

Sorry to say, but what a dumb argument!
These guys are professionals!!! I'm not being paid thousands of dollars and by no means on a professional level that CL is at, but EVERY gig demands being on the top of your game and having plenty of quality music!! As Jon Jon said, DJ's usually dictate how long they can/want to play for, and they get paid more the longer they play (usually). But saying it's tough to be on top of your game for extended periods of time, PLUS, having a hard time finding good tracks would indicate that a DJ is NOT a professional at all!
Anyway, I think Mark Oliver did a pretty good job warming up! Nice to see him get away from his typical boring house, and not hear tracks he's played out for the past 3 years, was very refreshing! But I agree with Ben saying that his flow did need a lot of work. I was only there til 2:15 so I can't really comment on CL's set, besides he started off bangin and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I was with a first time Guver and CL isn't exactly the best night to bring a nOOb out :p
Dude, I'd buy some of these off you!! :tongue2 :toocool:
Nice.

Jon Jon said that most DJs prefer to play shorter sets.... and I said that this is because 'It would be tough to be on top of your game for an extended period of time; it would be physically/mental tiring, plus they would have a harder time picking good songs to play.'
I didnt say that someone such as CL wouldnt be fully capable of playing a good extended set, obviously it just takes a lot more effort on the DJs part and therefore they would prefer to play a shorter set.
I never said they should play shorter sets.

I had a GREAT time last night! Starting out the night was MO, who in my opinion did a great warm up. He started out slow with Tiesto + Imogin Heap - Hide and Seek, had the cheese going wrong, and then went down dirty and sick trance resulting in a great lead in to CL. When CL was on, i really enjoyed his set. I intended on being in the gallery at first (hung around for alexsandra for awhile, then some song came on with a trumpet and i bounced) but he had me hooked for 1.5 hours, then i went in and enjoyed dekoze's set BIG TIME! and Greag Gow did excellent, dropping SVD - Pura Vida SIIICCKK!! Then back in for MO till closing. In my mind stole the show, amazing closing set, from classic CLASSIC trance, some songs i havnt heard for years (iain put up vids :D) to crazy beats, be - laid back luke, and two others. one of which was his encore song. OH and he played Exctacy!!! soo siiiicckk
the crowd i have mixed reactions. At the start of the night a shooter girl is asking us if we wanted a shot and this guy bumps into her, stares at her right up in her face and doesnt move! she then gets out of his way and he storms right by! rude ass fcuk! but then later the vibe was excellent and pretty packed until well past 5!!! 6ish before it got down to the closing crew :)
a couple songs to id but ive been up all day with only a 3 hour nap, and after closing guv, walking ALL THE WAY up jarvis and west down college to CZ was a BITCH (to a friends house 1 block down...)then subwayed + bused home..gahh
