mark knight was decent but i think he tried to stuff in too many of his own tracks. music matters a capella then the actual track later? come on, it's not that much of an anthem... i haven't been closely up to date with new music in months, yet most of his set seemed too recognizable. his style is great for the main room though, and he had me grooving pretty well for the most part.
danny T did not disappoint.. a lot of hardness and no cheese whatsoever. just like i noticed in '07 he seems to have a neverending stash of unrecognizable, raw beats designed to destroy big rooms... most of them aren't tracks you'd ever listen to start to finish, or even ever see on beatport, but he throws them all together seamlessly... the middle of his set did lose me when he got too slow paced and played some drawn out glitchy stuff. he had no problem picking things up for the rest of the night though. even with his mic monologues aside, you could tell the guy was putting his best effort in and wanted us to have a blast. just wish i had the steam to keep jumping around in his last hour
kh was terrible when i stopped by to check it out the first few times, but i actually had a good half hour in there near the end of crookers' set. they let everyone jump up on the stage and surround the booth from all sides, while crookers picked it up did some really fast cuts between their analog electro fare (they were doing dubstep and random before this). by the time they played a thunderstruck remix everyone up there was rocking out with arms flailing, atmosphere was INTENSE and to top it off a guy is jumping around in a gorilla suit.. one of those rare moments that only seem to happen around these hipster DJs. but still, half an hour was enough of it, and that stage was about the size of the room they should have been booked to play in :P
good moments with manzone & strong (gallery was good while it lasted, oh well), carlo lio and deko-ze as well
great night out overall, def made up for last month's mediocre LOL. crowd was a little sparse for an all access but i'd take that any day over the typical shoulder-to-shoulder fest

Few Mark Knight video clips - reminiscent of Bora Bora and Hed Kandi in Ibiza this summer (fun times good tracks):
For some reason didn't take any Tenaglia footage... guess I was busy dancing too much to some of the hard beats he was dropping (:

I wasn't feeling this party at all.
Mark Knight was meh.
Danny was better at CiRCA but he had his moments.
Had more fun in the Orange Room listening to the locals.

i think you missed the part where Danny T bashing is fun for me. Send me a set, i'd love to hear it :rolleyes:
iam a big dt fan, but there isent many dt sets out there, cause he dont WANT THEM TO BE RECORDED!!!! lol
if you can get your hands on his global underground cd's those are like 10 years old, but amazing cds
next time hes in town i suggest you expand your horizons beyond trance, or base him upon one song he did 10 years ago is very closed minded and you should give him a chance
the begining of his set will be good, but if you want to experience a real dt set its all about afterhours
heres a taste of what to expect from dt afterhours

were any of you there taking vids of when he came out and danced in the crowd at the end?
<--- does not want to be in the background of said video
Also, can anyone confirm the mix of touch me was unreleased? I can't find anything anywhere - it was MEGA stripped down - SOOOO GOOD!

I caught the 1st half-hour of Major Lazer's set in the KH and I rather enjoyed it. Lots of energy and everyone there was eating it up. It was fun but I couldn't see myself lasting there any longer. Didn't venture into KH after that.
Never have been a big fan of Mark Knight. Like others have already said; his set flowed more like a trance set with too many buildups, but overall, not a bad opening set.
Danny was awesome as usual. Loved his antics with the search lights and comments on the mic. I enjoyed this set a lot more than at Circa. I guess it had a lot to do with vibe. Even though this event didn't pull in the number they were expecting, the people who did show up knew what they were there for. That makes a huge difference.
I checked out the orange room for deko-ze's set and couldn't bring myself to leave for a good hour or so. Hats off to the guy who can seriously 'bring it' week after week after week.
Great seeing a bunch of TAs out. Some whom I haven't seen in years! Was nice meeting you, Geoffb3.

I dont believe you :toothless ;)
Neither do I, and I was there.
I guess you could say the sound was better than usual, and there was "room" to dance if you don't mind dancing for 5 seconds at a time, which is how long it normally took to get shoved aside by an train.
I had a good time despite the vibe in the Guv and the unforgivable set times, thanks to Danny's programming and good friends. That's about all I can say.
