since reopening... a booth upstairs is 1000 plus... |
i disagree. detroit and buffalo have more or less the same standard of living and tables here by the DJ are 1500. to each their own i guess. |

I don't even know where to fuking start! I heard so much good this weekend. Hit up ALL the parties I wanted to go to and MORE! It was an amazing weekend that keeps getting better and better each year
Saturday night at the festival I got in at 7 30pm and chilled a bit before heading to see Visionquest and holy jesus. I NEVER DANCED SO MUCH AND SO HARD! I danced for all 4 hours that they were on! I believe it was Shaun Reeves who went on first, Followed by Lee Curtis and Ryan Crosson and then Seth fuking Troxler who played for close to 2 hours and dear god - he was relentless! One of the best Seth sets I heard and OF COURSE it wasn't broadcasted so FML.
Hit up Circo Loco from 8 am till 2pm and wowowowow. Visionquest peeps were on the outside patio playing another fantastic set.... but... I gotta talk about 3 peoples.
Clockwork - FML wish I didn't miss so much of their set. These guys are the .
Mass Prod - did an amazing job closing out the outside
TALE OF US!!!!!!!!!!!!! wWAWAAAWEEE WAAAAAAAAH! Dude - these guys were going fuking STRONGGGGGGG at 1-2 pm. I couldn't believe it. I did not want to leave. These guys are bad ass! Circo was a great great party filled with an even weirder crowd.
I missed Cassy & Jamie Jones so I cry much but w/e.. I had sommme sleep which was worth it (3 hours)
I loved this dude who was passing out CLOWN noses at the party. haha |

Friday:
-Wound up at Oslo and got in free to a sold out party thanks to some incredible disorganization outside the door. Good party, not great, and not the best set I’ve heard from Cassy.
Saturday:
-Rested up a bit for the weekend before bouncing around a bit at the festival. Finally spent most my time at Visionquest, who all rocked it, and then ended the day at Hawtin
-CLR at Elysium was fun. Not packed, but a good, fun crowd and some rolling basslines as to be expected.
-Rested for all of 20 minutes back at the hotel before heading to Circoloco. Cassy more than made up for the previous night with an awesome set. Clockwork followed and was just as impressive. Had to leave midway through their set to make sure I got at least a couple hours sleep.
Sunday:
-Got some good rest and then back to the festival. Hopped around again before Villalobos, who put me to sleep within a couple minutes. Ran over to get a spot front and center for Buttrich and stayed for his entire set. Ben Klock then killed my next hour and a half with a banging set. Dettman followed and kept the tunes going. I had to pull myself away to go get ready for the evening.
-Boarded the boat and Vath was already on. I won’t go into detail because it’s already been mentioned, but WTF?!?!?! I purposely skipped most of his festival set because I figured we’d get a good dose of face melting on the boat…… I was wrong. Sleepy, boring, uninspired, blab la bla. Vath looked sooo disinterested and about to fall over. Don’t know if it was jet lag, drugs, or what. He hopped off the boat as soon as we docked and ‘lobos took over. He didn’t do it for me either so we got off pretty early. I got word later on that he really picked it pu a couple hours later, but I didn’t feel like waiting around.
-A brief stop back at the hotel while we pondered our options. Finally, we decided Get Physical was worth a visit. So so so so glad we came to this decision. Had a really good time at this party and saw my favorite set of the weekend from Heidi. Girl is bonkers behind the decks. Eventually left to put on shorts for Old Miami.
Monday:
-Arrived to Old Miami to somebody playing very slow-tempo tunes. I guess this was all right for early in the morning, but I was hoping for something a bit more exciting. The music did slowly start to pick up, as did the heat. As the afternoon approached, I was starting to struggle. A night of drinking and dancing was catching up to me due to the heat. Nausea stopped me dead in my tracks and I had to leave for a bit to collect myself and shower. Only rested for a few moments before heading back. I tried to find my groove once back at Old Miami, but my body had given up on me, and the heat was unbearable in the middle of the afternoon. Forced myself to call it quits and get some much needed air conditioning back at the hotel.
around catchin a little bit of everybody before settling in for Fatboy. I had been waiting for a long long time for the opportunity to catch him somewhere, and I’d all but given up on the idea before he got announced this year. I was so excited and he didn’t disappoint. I wouldn’t say I loved everything he played but, man, he sure knew what he was doing. Crowd was eating out of his hands and he was putting on a show. Some of the mashups and edits were amazing. His mixing was crazy, and the video was entertaining. Really, I coulnd’t have asked for more to close the festival.
-I tossed around afterparty ideas in my head but my body just wasn’t having it. I had tried to dance a little bit during fatboy’s set, but I couldn’t go more than a minute or two before stopping. So, I gave up on the afterparty idea and went to sleep a happy partier. After hearing how good Hot Natured was, though, I will probably regret this decision until next year, haha.
Summary:
Impressive
-The entire f’n festival. It’s just so amazing in every aspect. From the layout to the organization, the food, the people, sound, lighting and, of course, the music! Even with all the great after parties, pre-parties, and after-after parties, the festival is the main attraction and should be.
.
-Fav sets: Heidi @Get Physical, Cassy @Circoloco, Klock, Buttrich, Visionquest, Fatboy @Festival
-As always, the People!!!
Disappointing
-Vath on the boat. C’mon man.
-Me: Losing my stomach on Monday again this year. I take great pride in my stamina, but the beer and heat did not cooperate. I’m hoping it’s a little cooler for Old Miami next year. I also regret missing out on Hot Natured, or anything on Monday for that matter. It looks as though I’m still fine tuning my Detroit habits and I look forward to perfecting things next year.
Thanks to all that made this another great trip! See ya soon. I’ll be in NYC in one week, and then who knows……..….Canada Day? Ibiza? Zoo? BPM?
:tongue2 |

Nah - Guy with the beard towards the end is either Ryan Crosson or Mass Prod. I can't remember when exactly I saw you. I think it was Mass Prod.
Clockwork was inside - 2 dudes. |

Anyone else feel like their life just sucks about now? Or ever since we got back.
I can't even concentrate on school. I'm living off the detroit high. :(
I can't believe I saw sooo many people and sooo many odl school friends from MIAMI that I had zero idea they would be in Detroit.
God I hate NY lol :( |

That was my buddy/roomie Gabe. He was disappointed the clown noses didn't get appreciated as much as they would at a circo loco party |
