HELL yes! I woke up still so pumped from Avicii!! The party in there (although disgustingly humid and the annoying lack of dancing space unless you've got your elbows up to fight off shoving)was OUT OF THIS WORLD!
The atmosphere and just the great tunes. Alot I didn't know (new avicii fan)and alot i recognized.
Also found some new artists to add to my downloads so all in all...KKKKING beautiful event!!!!!

the vibe in the main room is unparalleled to any other club in this city...when it's on, no one can stop it
i.ron.e
Didn't go in to the trance room I got enough of it on the boat.
I was jumping back between Main Room and Orange Room, Jon was laying down some nasty beats.
Junkies Ripped it up in the main room, heavy stuff from them like always.
Loco Dice blew my ing mind saturday! He played so much harder than I am used to hearing from him and his mixing was really clean, normally you hear semi train wrecks from him and bad sound levels but that was insane! he looked like he was having a great time and the crowd was jamming out which made me happy because I was no sure how they would react. Ovi said it best " The people who really love this music came out tonight"
Dubfire was incredible, he was less focused on the people around him and was enjoying himself, doing funny little motions with the mixer and the maschine and I kind of feel like he was playing for himself which I thought was great. It wasn't as good as his Family Day set but it had a great groove then it got dark and heavy in the last hour.
Calderone was not impressive at all again, his tracks were pretty generic and his build up/drops were not impacting.. really big build up and then nothing. He got better at the end though which made me happy but that was probably his last 45 mins to an hour.
Dubfires tour manager I think it is, some dude in the booth with him was whacked out of his mind, he came out on the patio with Ali and was talking complete nonsense to us, he was super entertaining doing these random dances holding a glowing flower all night.
The lighting was great Saturday, one point the fog just got so much with this blue type of strobe light it was a really cool effect and we lost a bunch of people who were with us because they got freaked out lol.
I was in somebodys booth and there was this asian dude there he reminded me of the asian guy from the hangover 2, same high voice and talking like he was the , he brought up how they are all producers there and pointed out Adam K. Nothing to do with anything but I thought it was funny that this guy was acting this way.
Saturday didn't feel like a Labour Of Love, it felt like more of a Techno event on a normal Saturday night and I loved it, Guv needs more Techno there imo. Other than Calderones set it was a perfect night 5/5
Sunday was just disgusting, I didn't have fun till the end... but I expected it.
Sunnary James and Ryan Marciano were pretty decent but had no flow at the start, I was expecting some nice house beats from all of them and got generic tech house but I still enjoyed it knowing what was coming later on. They got in to some nice House later on in the set and had the crowd rocking, they were having a great time.
Benny Benassi started off with some nice progressive and then it went all down hill, he has done this before making me think that it was going to be a nice set and then change it up. Electro was very corny and then he went in to dubstep, so we just started making obnoxious dubstep sounds on the patio while my friend showed random people weird pics on his phone as they walked by, it was a good laugh with the confusion on there faces.. that is how bored we were.
Avicii was same old, I feel like i heard the same set from him 3 times now and couldn't take it anymore so we did the mission of trying to get through the sardine can guv was made in to.
Finally get through to watch Deko-ze do his Sunrise set, he was playing classics and dropped "Spin Spin Sugar - Sneaker Pimps" that got me off my ass and start dancing, then all of a sudden at 6 am the bouncer says cut it and then harasses deko-ze some more. This made me really angry because it's a tradition that deko-ze closes out guv from skybar.
Made our way down and thank god Manzone and Strong are on and did they ever kill it, they play deep Tech and were relentless. The bouncer came at almost 8 am and said cut it, it looked like fab didn't want to stop but what can you do. They saved my night!
I am glad I didn't pay because I would of felt ripped off for Sunday, it was a really cool vibe from people but all in all just wasn't fun.

How was the crowd/numbers for Saturday...I heard they were pretty light...that's what you get for being greedy and not selling 1 day passes...

Here are my videos of Day 1 of LoL2011.
Day 2's videos are being uploaded at the moment.
What a crazy ass insane party weekend this was.
Nice moment at the end of this video when Paavo grabs a girl from the front of the stage & brings her up into the dj booth. The crowd loses it.
...and my favorite set of the night went to this man. Killed it.
I'll post my videos of Day2 once they finish uploading. I have to say, they're probably some of the best videos I've ever taken. They're insane!!! You guys will especially love the Benny Benassi & Avicii ones. Pretty Epic.

I went Saturday night. It was probably one of my best Guv nights to date.I arrived at 12 and was very pleasantly surprised to see that there was little to no line up depending on if you were enterting through Guv of KH. I hung out in Guv while I waited for the rest of my group to arrive. At around 115 we headed over to kh to catch the end of Gareth Emery's set(which wasnt any better than the boat cruise). KH was a sweat fest. I was only able to handle 45 min of A&B before I had to leave the sauna. Checked out the media tent. I was pretty impressed being the phone/picture addict that I am. We then decided to venture up to skybar(my first time), it was awesome. At around 230 I was given a visual treat of fireworks. This was the least busy all-access event I have been to. There were enough people to have a good time and yet still have room to dance. I left early around 430.

Thought Koolhaus Saturday was awesome. Only caught the 2nd half of Emery and the full set of A&B. Though a guy did collapse in the middle of the floor towards the end of A&Bs set which kinda killed the vibe otherwise it was an awesome night. Trance fans should've went to Montreal Sunday Arty/Tritonal killed it at the afterhours there.

Gareth Emery,
ing suck balls last night OMFG! he played the same set as he did in new york for electric zoo
after hearing his set from EZ was hoping that he wont NOT play the same set i was wrong, it was
really bad he even jumped on the bandwagon and started to play a few dubstep tracks
Was going to listen to the sets from Ezoo glad I didn't now that you mention that cause I figured they'd probably play 90% of the same tracks. Thought the dubstep at the end was cool but anything more than 1 dubstep track in a trance set is FAIL

Yea I was irritated by the sudden influx of dubstep. If I wanted dubstep I wouldve gone to another room lol, people just play and like what's trendy and right now dubstep is on fire. so it was annoying...instead of ending their sets with an amazingly euphoric track they had to barf on us with dubstep....

dubstep is not my thing, if ppl like thats fine with me, however when you get a good trance dj like emery
all of a sudden he starts playing dubstep it does not flow with trance and saturday was an example
as he played "Sanctuary" into a dubstep tune no flow whats so ever!
