This review makes me feel like this was the 9th circle of Hell. Some of my favorite quotes were:
"Supremely smooth mixing kept the crowd's energy high throughout the show, with an almost constant bassline driving the set. To add to the continuity, the DJs would allow a song to percolate below the surface before bringing it to center stage" - YES!!! Because this a such a novel concept when it comes to DJing. Thank god someone finally entered this uncharted frontier.
"The mezzanine level featured "pop-up" bottle service hosted by Manhattan hotspot Provocateur, making the event feel much more like an impromptu party than a heavily orchestrated concert." - I just can't....LOL. "Pop-Up"...yes because the last thing I expect at a club/party is bottle service options. |

Dude, don't hate. Deadmau5 and Skrillex invented electronic dance music, and 2011 marked the beginning of rave... Or something like that? |

It's incredible to see how much I enjoyed them back then. I remember hearing "Click" and being blown away, it was ahead of its time. Now they don't even play that song, much less music like it
:(
Dance music's passing me by, I feel old and I'm only 24 but been going out for 7-8 years. |

Cheesy review aside, i always wondered how three peeps can mix effectively .. I sorta assumed it was a taking-turns-and-maybe-angello-can-mess-with-the-filter type thing?
I doubt it was pre-recorded oakenfold-steve style, cause there was def. a few slipups, but it must have been planned out well in advance, possibly some of the mashups pre-done? - as the review points out it was similar at the roseland later in the night - although it didnt bother me a bit :) |

The popup thing was actually well done, think eyes wide shut atmosphere up there. they had a separate entrance as well and so on. That being said, it feels wrong to have a 'hey we have more money section'. but thats life and nyc i suppose :) |

Sweet thanks! Needs a download option :D
On a different note.. Is the A-Trak set anywhere? I thought he did an amazing job! |

back then they were more concerned with the music. i listened to the msg set and enjoyed it, although it wasn't new or original. i think of them now as the Backstreet Boys of house, it's more about creating a fun atmosphere and putting on a big show than it is about the music. i don't think there is anything wrong with that, in fact i'm sure it'll get people interested into other types of edm. either way, glad to see an edm act pull off a show at msg :gsmile:. |

I love hanging out with you...but I think you know I completely disagree with this sentiment. These people will completely end up destroying the scene that we've been loving for years...and obviously very quickly. |
