as for ferry I completely agree. (and mind you I dont hate on ANYONE for their opinion of ferry, we all have tastes and I dont feel anyone needs to apologize for who they like or dislike!!)
personally I love ferry's tunes but I totally get why people say he played his own tracks, etc. I think it was more strategic: he played the "popular-sing-along" tunes for the massives, and the people who dont necessarily hear him play all the time (seriously, out of the thousands of people there, I could tell that the armin and ferry crowds BOTH were unexperienced listeners).
Then Ferry brought the A-game for Pacha. Played a few of his tracks to start of but completely ROCKED the house with driving techy SLAMMIN for the rest of the set. full high-energy, just wild, balistic and just MENTAL for the afterparty crowd.
:crazy: :eyes:
He probably knew that EZ was full of newbs, and the afterparty would be full of ferry-followers who didnt wanna hear "Punk" for the thousandth time.... and knew that he needed a lot of energy to keep us going after 2 days straight! Personally, while we may not all like it, I think he played the crowds right based on who he knew he would be playing for.
Dont hate the player, hate the game. :haha: |
I agree with you 100% Actually somebody told me thte same thing at love that he was holding back till he goes to pacha to unleash the FERRY-FURY
LOL @ robs comment

Had a blast on Sunday. We got to Randall's Island around 4, stayed til 11. My reviews on everyone I saw....
Josh Gabriel
From what I heard, he was awesome. A lot of people have sort of lost touch with him since his split with Dave Dresden. He's dropped a lot of the proggier stuff in leiu of more techy music. I loved what I heard.
Steve Angello
He played a great festival set...really energetic, big house music.
Desyn Masiello
I normally love the guy's music. I can't say I was the biggest fan of his D n' B set. I appreciate the fact that he switched things up. But he single-handedly cleared out most of the Riverside tent. Thats sort of annoying guys like Holden and Fake on after him, who had to play to small crowds. Even ATB played to a pretty small crowd.
Adam Beyer
I liked his set from what I heard. Played some serious bangers, crowd seemed into him.
Markus Schulz
I heard most of his set from afar. I didn't catch any of his equipment malfunctions, but the crowd seemed into him
Holden / Fake
I love James Holden's musical taste as a dj. I wasn't impressed with his mixing, but he had a nice vibe going on by the river...sort of techy, sort of trancey (not in the epic sense). Again, not much of a crowd in the tent while he played. I think that had a lot to do with Desyn though.
Victor / Hawtin
I kind of got the impression that Calderone sort of owned the Sunday School tent. He is obviously based out on NYC, and the crowd was behind him more than any other dj I thought. Caught the first few minutes of Hawtin, and he drew a big reaction from the crowd.
ATB
Not bad at all. Was in the Sunday School tent when he dropped Ecstasy, so went over to check him out until close. Like I said, not bad at all...he plays, what I can best describe as "pleasant trance music." I've never really heard him going on a nasty tear where he drops nasty bombs. But it was pleasant to hear as a closing set.
Thats about it. Awesome event all around. Made deserves a huge collective pat on the back from the NYC club scene for putting this on, and executing it to a 'T'. I can't even imagine the amount of work / stress that went into it. I only hope they do it again next year. |

Angello was damn good never saw him before.
Markus played a nasty set, slipped on the mixing a few times but nothing horrible.

first steve angello is ridiculous and always is so very glad he brought it to EZ...too bad it wasn't recorded :(
second markus had problems with the equipment, not sure what exactly happened but not his fault.
unfortunately didn't run into as many people as i thought i would but i did meet a lot of new people :). i stayed in vip for a while but honestly there were two "perks" one was the "nicer" bathrooms and second was that i got to talk to markus before his set but those two things didn't make up for the big mark up. overall it was a fantastic event and made gets mad kudos for carrying this out, very impressive. |

ok so i didn't see this thread ; but whatever - day two was so awesome.
this whole experience was amazing for me; first kind of outdoor music thing i've ever done. never been to ultra. so this was my first. and i loved it all. both days were great. the ending of Ferry was great. and then of course sexy french house came on and i walked away. ATB was so slick. so good. awesome. i'm surprised there weren't more people.
this was the ; and i hope it comes back next year. i'll be there in a heartbeat. |
