Wow, that was bloody brilliant! An absolutely unbelievable party!
It was my first experience at Turbo and though I must say that I wasn’t very impressed with the sound system the atmosphere was sheer quality. I was pleasantly surprised that Toronto’s techno scene is thriving, I was blown away to see that amount of people come out party to the revolutionary sounds that Sven and Richie treated us with.
I really wasn’t that much of a Sven Vath sympathizer before this, but after the monster set he dropped last night, I got utter esteem for this guy. The combination of fierce hard techno and his attitude behind the decks make him one of a kind; this man is a living legend! I’ve been waiting for so long to see Plastikman in action, and oh man did he ever set the dance floor on fire. His last couple of sets that I’ve heard have been somewhat mellow for my liking, that was certainly not the case last night. The man dropped a dirty set, an exquisitely elegant mix of hard and minimal techno… pure class!
It was a pleasure parting one last time with the legends. Thanks for all Nat, I hope everything goes well. Three cheers to the faction of trance addicts who contributed to a fantastic night, Skipper, Motion – you should get an award for all the sacrifices you make boss, TechnoAddict my man, it was a pleasure setting the front lines of the dance floor on fire with you, I had a blast bro
Back to class now, I won’t be out of here before 6 and I still haven’t slept...
I’ll c u guys @ Turbulence tomorrow night
Cheers |

PM #1 has been sent! hahaha
I had a good time at this party - Sven was to my liking at first but later I wasn't in the mood for the bangin techno he got in to towards the end of his set, so I was pleased to hear Richie lighten things up a bit. Greg Gow, who opened, seemed amateur compared to Sven...and no doubt he is. I thought they would have someone a bit better opening though...his mixing was way off.
Left around 4 - what time did Sven and Richie start going head to head?
7 more days til MISSTRESS BARBARA! :D :D :D |

Oh god, where do i start?
Well the night started for me a little earlier than what was originally planned (10:30 or so) and we arrived to a somewhat dull crowd and Greg Gow playing a decent set of hard techno. I thought (like many others) it was a little TOO hard to open a party. I started rollin around 11:30 or so, and i got really ed up so my memory is quite fuzzy! One thing that really sticks out in my mind is the second Sven stepped up to the decks. His first track he played was SICK but then he followed it with a few lacking tunes that had me worried for a second. He redeemed himself throughout the rest of his set that ALMOST reminded me of a style i heard when Mauro laid it down at System. Funky, bangin, electro, buildups, he had it all goin on. Sven delivered hard towards the end and finished off the set well (i especially liked when richie came on and the were both in with the eq's during on build up!!)
Then......without any warning, Mr. Plastikman himself blessed us with something i cant even describe. Not toying with his usual effects that id been used to.....just pure raw techno. The crowd was bannanas. During his set i had the privlege of meeting Sven Vath, and thanked him for blessing me with such a great night! Even posed for a pic with him, and i cant wait to see how it turned out (thanx Mot10n). Richie played til around 5am, and all the sudden, done. I was expecting the party to go on a little longer, and i think im not alone when i say this. Evidence of this.....when we left the club, outside there was this crazy bum outside bangin the fresh beats on a plastic garbage can!!! I dont know if i was just trippin, but man did he sound good!!! Best track he played, Another One Bites The Dust!!! Too funny.
Skipper - nice to party it up with you again. i was lookin for the i love techno shirt, but still ended up finding you in the end. i had a blast dancin up a storm. remember when richie turned up the bass and it actually made our chest vibrate!??! bannanas.
Dj-HordASH - wicked meeting you guy. you sure know how to party hard. im surprised the soles of our shoes didnt melt lastnight from all that groovin. we shall do this again REAL soon.
Tatgirl - what can i say, the legends were out in full force lastnight! im quite interested to see this crazy pic you took with sven lastnight?!? thanks for having water at all the times i was ready to die of dehydration.
Mot10n - remember that part in svens set when i called that ed up bassline!?!! INSANITY!!!! was totally lovin it. those pics u took lastnight looked like they turned out lovely. im excited to see the on of me and sven!! please post asap!!
If there was anyone i forgot, please forgive my stupidity. And thanks for all that i did mention for a in legendary night.
Im out. |

BOOOOM!!!! crazy behind the decks, WOW!. i had such a great time, not even one drink while i was there! craziness! hawtin sounded sic, but by that time all my enegy was spent, and i chilled for a while with a kawaii japanese girl :D

and about the pics, i should be able to get around to posting them either saturday (after work) or sunday (after work) cuz i know you guys are eager to see them :D i am too (i just got home from a local club's trance night,and i am still feeling it... cafe del mar - energy 52, mauro - verdi, pvd - for an angel... luvin it, luvin...) and i haven't been able to view them yet... so sit tite for now :)

Great reviews from everyone. Skipper- didn't meet ya even tho I thought you'd be there. I think u may have even stood in front of me, but when I asked techno addict if any other TA's were there, he did not mention you- I guess I should've been more specific. BTW, good eyes technoaddict! Glad u spotted me in the crowd.
I have never been one to complain about the sound at Turbo, but that changed Thursday. I think there were only 2 stretegic points were the audio was ok- the rest was . The worst was up front- the bass so loud, my throat was coming up, and kept needing to swallow. The drunk idiots were out in full force that nite too. Dumb idiot in the baseball cap that kept screaming "Sven ing Vaaaaaaaaath", which pushing between Ken & I, just in case Sven didn't hear him the 264 other times he yelled it out. Then he dropped & broke one if his beer bottles, which poured down Ken's sock. :whip: You can take the boy out of the country, but u can't take the country out of the boy.... Then there was the tall guy in the black shirt, who was rolling so hard, he couldn't stand up straight. The netting in front of the DJ booth was lame- bad for picture taking. Luckily, no one cared that we pulled it to the sides.
Didn't really get to focus on Sven's set until I was sure Ken had made it in ok. He got progressively harder, and played many tracks that Mauro has been dropping lately. One track I made sure to find out about was by Pocket Game called "Hard of Noise" on Compact (sp?) Records. Not only was it a crazy tune, but it was THE coolest colored vinyl I've ever seen- crazy picture on it. Sven came and hung out for almost 30 min's after his set, meeting & taking pics with fans. Ken will post the pics up tonite, and you'll see why mine with him was so 'special'. ;)
Richie's set started off incredibly. Unfortunately, my stress level was at 300% that day, and as the night went on, it reached 500%- all I could do was stress about my upcoming surgery. I was SOOO ready to cancel it, especially since every guy at the club was begging me not to do it. So, my attention span to the music faded off. I did notice Hawtin went into a bit of a minimal stage, which didn't interest me much, but was picking up the pace again around 4, but we left shortly after.
My boobies did get lots of lovin' that nite, tho ironically not from any TA's- shame on you! (Ken, what happened to ya? still shy?). Even strangers were grabbing them. Some came around for seconds & thirds.
Can't wait to see the pics. -Nat |

Tatgirl - your post just made me think of something - on the tribe message board, someone was saying how they were talking to this girl in line and then that same girl was seen wandering around in the club topless....was that you, by chance?
I also think I knew the drunk guy you were talking about - I just met him that night but yah, he was pretty messy!! lol
I didn't decide to come in from London until about 7pm that night and although my drive back to L-town got messed up and I ended up in Toronto til late Friday (missing everything I had to do on Friday) I'm still glad I went. I don't think I got the full Richie experience - I left at 4 and I was pretty tired for most of the night. I'll definitely have to see him again before making some kind of judgement on how much I adore him. lol But I liked what I heard Thursday.
TECHno Addict - did you get my PM? I'm about to send you another one... :p |

| OMG NO, I was not walking around topless!!! I am one of those people who shouldn't- I was just giving out free squeezes. |

tatgirl: yeah, i guess i'm still kinda shy. :p i'm regretting not copping a feel right now, so is it okay if i get one when you're fully healed? i'm sure the bosom will be bountiful. not as much as it once was, but still noticable :) that drunk guy was an asshat. he yelled in my ear so hard, i felt the eardrum actually vibrate really hard. bastard guy.
as for the pics: they are up!
