I felt like I got a trolled a little |
i was laughing my ass off when you posted that because I know we printed one and that was excatly what you said.
however it was not for the VIP area...it was just for the artists
and the media interviewing people.

can't believe it didn't rain but even if it did, there was no way i was leaving. i had extremely high expectations after years of waiting for my opportunity to catch a papa sven beatdown and they were certainly exceeded. hope to see the issues addressed - i know from experience they will be (and then some). going in and out was nice but it's obvious why it's not allowed. sound was actually awesome after they found the issue... could hear it clearly from really far back!
+1000000 on booking digweed for EI. it's so perfect for him and i'm sure he would bring some amazing support acts as well |

I think Digweed really needs around 4 hours to shine at a festival setting. That would probably mean booking less supporting acts sadly :(
I might be back from the UK for the Canada Day event as well so I'm really looking forward to the next one :) |

Hands down this was the track of the night for me! He played this in the last 30 minutes of his set.
Can anyone ID this? |

I'm happy the weather complied with this event. Alex Mastro sounds like Green Velvet all the time when he's on the mic LOL.
I came in the middle of Mano's set...I dunno why all the hate for this guy. I was a bit skeptical before going in because his latest Boiler Room set was nothing to write home about, however I thought he played much better than that set and worked a good set for the most part, minus some meh tracks here and there.
Sven Vath immediately picked it up. He started at a faster tempo it seemed like and sound was louder all of a sudden. He played really well throughout his set and like I mentioned drunkenly before, he could have played longer. I don't get the crowd though...like I seriously thought this guy was playing a solid set but the crowd wasn't getting into it as much as I thought they should have.
I went to Coda afterwards but decided not to go in. Sucks that it wasn't that busy there, but the next day was a work day afterall. I hope Mr. Vath understood that and doesn't feel he doesn't have Toronto love, because this guy and Mano played much better than Sasha a while ago and some of these other boring k hole tech house guys. I hope he does come back again soon.
Yeah washrooms...big lineups but it did move fast. Yes, people didn't realize there were more urinals off to the side. Security was at least telling people to go there. They should have forcibly made people start to wait for the urinals off to the side first.
Weed police out in full force. I guess Platform is really cutting down on that stuff. I didn't check out the food situation but I had a feeling even 4 food trucks wouldn't be enough. You guys should do what Digital Dreams is doing and have ppl load up on funds on their wristbands or seriously incorpate Interac Tap technology for these things.
Overall, I had a good time which may be surprising to you guys! I just wish these things were held on the Sunday before the Monday that people have off but I guess that's it and that also it would happen more often. |

I think the track you are looking for was this:
This track kicked off the night for me ^. He played way too hard in the first half of his set but that last 45 minutes was absolute destruction.
He needed atleast 5 hours to showcase his diversity on those decks. |
God a I love that tune, so glad he played it. Thank you for the ID. |
