What an absolutely great time! I'm assuming there's no thread for this yet cause people are
a) at rhode kill
b) still sleeping
c) still at after hours
d) OD'ed from the music
I got there in time to catch the last bit of Zack's set. He was representing like what whaaaat. I was feelin it.
Scot Project straight crushed it. This dude was just banging out uber hard. It felt like stomp the yard on the dance floor; people were going nuts. I was going nuts. Scot was going nuts. Real hard beats with no letting up. Dude was friggin sweet.
Yoji came on and continued where SP left of, only more and harder and wilder. And what a showman! This guy is running around on the stage, sitting on the table his decks are on, coming in front and hyping the crowd. To me that's what a good DJ does; he gets as wild as the crowd. To me, that shows that he loved the music just as much as we did. Awesome. Absolutely awesome.
Upstairs was holdin it down maaaad tight.I must have missed Frank, but Gerard, Rai, and other guy (ralphie smooth?) were doin they thing quite nice. G stayed in line with the funky haired DJ theme and went wit the spikey mohawk.
My highlight of the nice absolutely HAD to be when yoji spun sandstorm, I mean, come on... who could do that these days? I remember in 2001 people were saying "Man, that song is like 10 years old. enough already." Yet there we were, at Webster Hall, going nuts and loving every minute of it. I say again, what a showman!!!!
There was no way I could do after hours following a night like that, so we got some pizza and went home. Great great great GREAT night!!!

Yoji and Scot Project w/ Core @ Webster Hall (July 18th, 2008)
This was the most insane electronic music event I've ever been too. It was like the old Nu-Nrg shows, when they use to perform together. Some of the most craziest hard trance songs I've ever heard live in a club. Scot Project was great even through he didn't play any of his classic tracks (which was expected). I had a hard time leaving the dancefloor because I was so curious what he would play next.
Yoji was relentless. He gives you no time to breath or rest. Put someone over the age of 60 in that room and they would have a heart attack sitting down. Yoji is a great entertainer. He really knows how to pump up the crowd. In the very end he started eating a pizza, then when the show was over he would hold the slice over the front of the stage so all his biggest fans would take a bite, lol.

Lmfao @ the pizza comment... Gross too.
Looks like a great music night. I ended up seeing Gerard @ Chili's before the gig but I have no carro at the moment so I had to skip out. :(:(
Sucks. I love me some hard house/tech trance. Fun stuff!
Hope to read more reviews on CORe & G's sets!!!!!

yo the pizza was amazing...almost as good as yoji and scott...almost...that was key

holy that Friday was fun! Opening up for Scot and Yoji was a real treat for me, as both guys were huge in getting me hooked onto EDM back in the day. I was surprised how quickly the main room filled up...can't argue with free admission before 11 apparently. :)
On to the headliners...Scot played an amazing set. I hadn't heard music that hard out in awhile. His mixing was much improved since teh last time I saw him too.
Yoji was, um, interesting :P. He was fun to watch...very entertaining. I was upstairs for a lot of his set, but the crowd was eating him up from what I saw. I must have missed the pizza spectacle lol.
all the djs in the Balcony Lounge played great sets. I missed most of Frank's, but the last few songs I caught were bangers. Gerard dropped a lot of classic trance tracks to close things out.

Great night all around. The Balcony room was fun, and a nice place to go to escape from the madness in the main room.
Zack RIPPED that place from the get go! Anytime "Murder Was the Bass" gets played, I'm a happy camper :D. Main floor was packed by 1145, and stayed that way pretty much 'til the end. Scot was a monster behind the decks, and Yoji was...very different, haha. I can't believe he dropped the Tetris track. I used to have that on an old DJ Venom mixtape, and have never heard it in a big club...

Friday was such a good time! I don't think I've seen Webster Hall that packed that early before besides the Sasha and Digweed.
Zack started things off great in the main room. he opened with some deeper progressive house, and got more banging in his last hour. By the time Scot came on, he was playing harder than I think I have ever heard from him. I like that side. ;)
Scot was really good too. I hadn't heard him before Friday and I definitely liked what I heard. I didn't recognize any of his big songs, don't think he played any.
Like everyone said, Yoji was a big ball of fun. :toothless His music was a bit too much for me to handle all night though, so luckily Gerard was on upstairs playing a nice mix of older and newer trance. Great stuff!
here's a video Jonas took of Zack towards the end of his set. Murder was The Bass! :eyespop:

Repeating what others said. The night was amazing, but I pretty much wore myself out dancing during Scot's set. People were stomping through the floor while he was playing and Scot was in good spirits posing and firing the crowd up. Glad I checked out his myspace page before I went- recognize a couple of remixes from it. Yoji was really fun with all the running around and the performers and so forth. Didn't know what to expect with him and wasn't disappointed. But I was in so much pain from dancing, I could barely move at the end. By the last encore, I was sitting on the sidelines just watching.
