Dood, I don't think you were there for Bond's close - but try to find this track: Dark Suite f/ Aura - Dark Sweet Piano [traxx vs. organ remix]
This was his closing track and it's friggin amazing! One of my favorites! |

Another great night!! WOW!
It was great to have people over to my place before going to Viva. We listened to some good tunes curtosy dj Loco Moco, Mike, and myself. We will definetely be doing this again soon!! Next time, lets try to get the Viva guest dj to stop by my place too!!
Peter Ivals played the usual warm up, but really got wicked in his last hour, pumpin' some wicked trance (ie opera song)
Scott Bond was really impressive. I was glad to hear the trance he played, similar to Matt Hardwick, but different in his own way. Favourtive turn Melodica - P.P.K. Beautiful!
Mark Oliver was at one of the best I have ever seen him. Dropping sick tunes that kept me dancing, even though I could barely stand. Played:
Matt Darey - Electro Fever
Kid Vicious - Proceed
Scott Project - O ------ What the !! This killed me. But, I have head banger's remose now, as my neck cannot turn anymore.
Big thank to Ari & Del. Great party!
Some memories:
Sooper & Solo - I didn't think humans could be that drunk. !
RJ & TranceNerd - too bad you didn't make it to my place, maybe next time.
Mike & Jenna & Mike -- You guys are in wicked! So much fun. Mike, your spinning is very impressive, next time we play for longer!
Kev, Nat, Az, -- Great fun, great friends.
Mr. Hopes, nice to meet you. Come back with more gatecrasher madness soon!
Peace,
Rich |

Well I had a wicked time last night.
I haven't danced that long since before WEMF cuz of my damn sore foot, but , the music was so good last night, I just couldn't stop. Even Mark Oliver kept me going (which he usually doesn't).
Anyway, I think the vibe was great last night, and I don't think it was too crowded.. The dance floor was a little packed, but that's cuz I think there were more people dancing than usual, as the music was so good.
Props go out to Dominic who I met while waiting for the REAL music to start.
TA Shouts go out to all the TA's (the names I can remember are Tatgirl, Jenna Rae, Swamper, Trance XTC, RabbitJoker, Sober 24 7)
Great Night.
As for my pics (there aren't that many, cuz I was dancing too much to take pictures) will be online by Monday... I can't download them from my camera from here, cuz my cable's at the office...
As for tracks... I have no clue... I suck at naming tracks. :) |

I thought my night was gonna be ty the way my day was going, but it turned out to be another great time at Viva. My sinus infection hates me today, but it was worth it.
Pre-party gathering at Rich's was a good change of pace. Shout out to Rich & his 'rents for having us over, & to Carlos & Corrine. We closed out or DJ session with Sasha & Maria "Be As One"- a timeless classic!!!
Got to Viva at 12 & started making the rounds of hellos. It was a smaller TA turnout, but there were so many new faces at the club, so the word must be getting out. Ivals' last hour was amazing! I love it when he plays the hard trance.
Bond opened up with a heavenly tune (ID?), and then gave us 2.5 hrs of the perfect blend of new/ unknown tracks, familiar tunes, and new remixes of classic oldies. OMG I DIED when he dropped that mix of "Greece 2000"!!! People on the dance floor turned some heads cuz I just started screaming "FUUUUCK YOUUUU!!!!" at the DJ from the dance floor, but it was meant in a really good way! I had to grab Jenna to be my dancing partner for that song. So many good tunes heard last nite.... especially those remixes of Jam & Spoon, & Rank 1 "Airwave". I was backstage when most of you left after Bond, so I'm sorry I missed out on the goodbyes. :( Got to talk to Bond for a bit, but Rich was hoggin' him ;), and quite frankly, I wasn't much for conversation last nite after smoking up again. But I did put in a request to bring his Gatecrasher night to Viva, just like ARC in NY will be getting every 2 mos.
But people- how many times do I have to tell you that you should STAY TIL THE END??? Mark Oliver KILLED it once again. Talk about a set you want in your collection! I need to get my hands on one somehow (hint hint, Mark).
Met a new TA, who's been silent, but hopefully he'll speak up now - Emotion, who came in his own home made "Tranceaddict" shirt. I made sure to introduce him to our Russian Mafia of members, so he felt at home. We joked that he is Trancearmada's replacement, cuz he's even bigger than him.
So, after I got home, when I should've gone to bed, I started troubleshooting my computer, made phone calls, fought off slumber til I got my 2nd wave of energy, and finally turned in at 2:30pm, and only slept for 4 hrs. Aside from those few puffs, I was totally sober. Why I did that to myself, I do not know. Maybe I'm just training for the WMC? I think I have problems. :eyespop:
It was great to see everyone who came out. Hugz to Igor, Aslan, Rich, Martin, Mike, Jenna, Mike, Cuzo, Adrian, Sue, Lindsey, NRG2infinty, Emotion, Trancenerd, Kevin, Sooper, Hansolo, Paco, Flec, Graham, Ilyia, Ari, Del, Linda, RJ, Mark Oliver, Peter Ivals (and anyone I'm forgetting) for making it such a great time.
I expect to see you all at Johan on the 7th- I don't care if another good party is here the next nite- stop being such babies, and go hardcore!!!!
P.S: You're all invited to my funeral March 30. Somehow October didn't kill me, but I suspect March will. |

If anything, I realized that I can't do trance any more. It has to be prog, tribal, deep, dirty, dark beats for me. And even though his set kept me dancing, I didn't really enjoy it, it was too trancey. And those 10-second silences in the middle of every tune totally killed the buzz. TranceGeek & I were thinking of transferring to System after about an hour+.. but since we were in Markham......
Although he did make up for it with some prog at his 'afterhours'..
:D |

OK.. Let's try to figure out who is Brunette by principe of exclusion.
There were only so many non-asians girls at that party, and I think I remember every one of them :D |

Totally agree with you... Scott really put me to sleep... I went to grab a seat just like 5 minutes into his set... I still think we should've made that dash to System ;)... I really miss progressive, I'm thinking about hitting CZ for the afternoon shift today but since the weather is so crappy today, bah...
Is it march 8th yet?! :cool: |
