first you mentioned that this was a brilliant campaign and now you're talking about greed? no free passes or what? lol
I thought the pricing was a bit high, but considering all the d.js on the bill it wasn't as bad for someone who would want to come to both nights. Most of the people I had on my list were more excited about day 2 than day 1. I guess the main stream House/ electro is the name of the game these days.I wasn't really happy about it as I was looking forward to the main room line up on day 1 personally, but I guess the scene's changed radically these days.

As promised, here are my videos of Day2 LoL2011
In the Koolhaus The Crookers, despite not being my kinda thing, still had the place rocking early & pretty busy, as you'll see
Amazing performance by Benny Benassi on Sunday. He completely destroyed the crowd & had everyone going ape. Loved it. In this vid you'll also see when he stands on the decks & sprays the crowd with a fog machine.
...and of course the man many people came & waited to see, Avicii
ItalianPoiSon
I got in on Sunday for $80, way more then what i wanted to pay...
But I still had a wikkid time even thou all the rooms were empty except for the main room, which was a complete mess!
So jammed and sweaty, but the tunes were good...
Finally seen Avicii and..... i gotta tell ya he played alot of hits and it was boarder line chessey.... still good and i would see him again....
I like Benny, regardless of what ppl say about him.... I didnt like how he started banging out the Dubstep, I cant listen to it for too long....
I caught some of Riva on Skybar.... he was ok
I walked into Koolhaus once, and it was less then half full.... BUT I did get to hear The Bloody BeatRoots bang out Warp and that track is crazy.... even thou its 2years old, still luv it.....
The tent was empty yet again, but from what i can tell there was no sound issues unlike at Freedom, when the sound got cut off during ATrack's headliner set .....
DekoZe was DOPE on skybar, yet again for another year....
Random notes
The women that came out were looking damn good....
ppl gotta stop throwing water up in the air after every build up....
The new generation of clubbers still have not learned how to handle themselves.... as well as there hippy/80's fashon was kinda off, too much neon....
The Guv 15yr party looks better then both days of LOL put together... MY PERSONAL OPINION!
Overal i still had a great time.... Every year i say the same thing, hopefully next year's LOL will have a better line up....

He mentioned that it was good for them for trying something new out. But having the numbers light on the first night is directly related to... yeah thats what you get for being greedy.
But judging by the videos it looked pretty packed. I wouldn't want it any more busy anyway.

I never went this year. Im not paying for 2 days when i only wanted to go on day 1. Whoever organized LOL this year is a f***n idiot... thats all i have to say :whip: :whip:

Saturday night in the Guv was probly the best long stretch of good music I've heard there in quite awhile. Great tech house and they utilized that soundsystem perfectly, never heard it sound so crisp and tons of deep bass with no distortion. My internal organs were even saying "wtf is up?!".
KH was packed with the trance fans, only stepped in a few times to see what was up and it was hot but good. Definitely smart putting them in there as it would've been as packed as Sunday in the Guv if they were in the mainroom.
Spent some of Sunday in KH and the flow was all over. Had fun but it was pretty empty. Wasn't a huge fan of Riva's stuff on Skybar (sounded like he combined a Guetta and SHM set, that kinda cheese) but Dekoze brought some real tunes. Popped in and out of Guv for Avicii, great energy in there but mega hot for any extended periods of time. I thought it was due to empty out after Avicii ended his set but M&S kept the place pretty busy.
Overall I think everything went pretty well for the first 2 day LoL. They really put some extra thought into make it special such as fireworks both days, the regular LoL performances outside, a crane lifting one up etc etc. That's always nice to see at shows like this. Everywhere you look though there's complaints of no single day tickets so I'd say that's something that will and has to happen if they do it for 2 days next year as well. Most likely they'll release expensive single day tickets and then the same people complaining about none this year will just be complaining about the price of them next year.

I'd disagree that Saturday was less busy, I just think when you put the DJs with the most pull in KH it seems that way because the room can handle crowds so much easier than Guv. Sunday seemed like the same volume of people to me but instead of the crowd in KH it was rammed into the mainroom which gives you the appearance of more peeps at the event. Just my 2 cents...

Maybe it's the fact that I've loved trance since I was less than 10 years old, maybe its because I've never heard trance at an event before (loud and every part of your body is engaged in dancing and FEELING the gloriousness that trance is)...but I'm still triping the out. Cloud maufkn 9.
Damn. \(^_^)/

farxaad, go to JOOF's party in Toronto this year if you like those feelings and sensations. It will blow your mind :D
(I think it should still be going on even though VOLA is no more after Rank 1, right?)

No, I was under the impression Rank1 is Volas last event. SAD!

Rank 1 is indeed the last event at Vola :(
BUT there are 3 Trance events in October, including the JOOF Event. I shall announce the other 2 events including new location(s) very soon :)
