Some inital thoughts while I rehydrate...
Sucks that I had to leave so early but had other priorities that require some decent sleep.
But all I can say is
TRANCE!!!
I dont do trance often... and I am so glad I made it out to this. Although it took me awhile I definitely found my trance groove and I am sure I made an ass of myself. But I had so much fun.
Arnej's set was great. Loved the later half of it. There were some sound issues throughout his set. I found the begining was too stop and go. And I wasnt too sure what to do during those 'stop' moments... but really thats because Im a trance noob.
SvR... oh . you folks were right on this guy. Absolutely incredible. It was so hard to leave before his set was over. I couldnt stop dancing. The energy was great. I loved every moment of it.
And Robbie Lopez...I was surprised that he wasnt playing trance. But House sounds mighty good in that little venue and I LOVED Robbies set. I really hope that he'll play again at Vola.
I'll leave the track listing to the trance pros. But I always love hearing Beach ball in a club <3
I loved Vola. It has such a homey feel. The temperature was wayyyy hot though and it wasnt from the people (when we got there around 11 it was already boiling). The bathrooms were a bit messy too - but 1000 times better than guv...so I cant complain. Some serious sound for a little club too. Cant wait to go back.
The TA crowd was in full force. So great to see some faces I havent seen in soooo long. And I got to meet a few new ones as well. Thanks to all for a wonderful night.
Oh and some drunk idiot smashed my foot. Its swollen, hopefully its better tomorrow.
Cant wait for round two. :toothless
I have so much more to say but that will have to wait till monday. |

too bad the crowd disappeared pretty darn fast.

+1 on all the above, finished work later than planned so only got in about half an hour through arnej and was burnt out after about 30 mins of SVR although i was liking him just didn't get enough into it and wanted to save some for the rest of the weekend.

One of those random unplanned nights to venture out to Vola after the movies! Got a text from friends to come to 214 Adelaide, wasn't even sure where I was going untill getting closer to the venue lol
I haven't been out in a longgggggg longggggg lonnnggg time, but definitely enjoyed my time last night. The place itself had a great vibe, somewhat of a mix between guv and mod club.
I came in the middle of Arnej's set. It was the first time I saw him play, and I was pleasantly surprised. I wish that he would have played a bit more vocal tunes, but that's just my personal preference, since I am not too much into hard trance, and I know he played a few of such tracks.
I must say that trance is definitely making it's way back. I have been listening to more of it lately, and it was nice to end up randomly at a very good trance party. I enjoyed the change because I have been quite tired of dark and sketchy beats, and last night was very refreshening in terms of music.
When SVR came on I was already dancing my ass off, but his energy made me want to dance even more. He played some amazing tracks, I liked the mix between a few cheesy tunes and serious tracks with good vocals. Even his choice of hard trance was nice, and I thought the set overall had a great flow. It was just the perfect ammount of build-ups, and a few "stop moments" that Tara mentioned. What is the proper name for those anyway?
Overall, I am very happy that I made it out last night, even though I ended up spending quite a bit of $ on the cover, drinks, and the cab home. I do think that the cover is way too much for such a small venue. The Djs were great, but even guv doesn't charge more than 20$ at the door? I would totally recommend lowering the cover down to 15$ with gl and 20$ without.
Jeff, thanks for looking out after me once my friends went home. Oz, thanks for getting me a cab and some vodka for my redbull after the last call. It was nice to see Tara, Alex, Chris, Vince, Jesse, and a few others. Negar, it was nice to meet you again (after that one time at cevapi party).
Edina and Arnej you guys are hot rawrrrr...love it love it love it!
Looking forward to the summer to start seeing all of you more often! |

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY YES!!! I flipped out when Arnej played Always - Oceania (Stoneface & Terminal Remix <3) followed directly after by Roundabout...Stoneface & Terminal + SvD back to back = :D! Sorry Alex for accidentally letting out a really loud shout near your ear when this happened lol.
Anyways, I'll keep my review short and sweet. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun!!! I wasn't quite as excited for this party as I could have been with Above & Beyond the next night (only a few more hrs people!!!) but it definitely exceeded my expectations! Arnej played some awesome awesome tracks and SvR, WOW! I was so impressed with both of these guys :) I absolutely loved Sied's style. I wish we could have stayed for Kris' whole closing set, but we were all so dead. I KNOW you played awesome though Kris, you always do :)
So nice partying with everyone, as always! Friends just make the night that much better :)
See everyone at Guv tonight and tomorrow!! |
