Hello,
It is only 4:34 am but i had to leave early as my friends wanted to head back, so i am in a internet cafe somewhere in toronto.
what can i say, it was a awesome party, not really trancy but it was good.
The key thing for me was the vibe in the crowd it was so good to see people who shared my love for trance, and were enjoying it.
Viva damn what a club i must say i will return there for PVD if it is anything like today, it was packed enough that you have a crowd, but not to much you could not do anything.
Damn my legs hurt now, you guys wil have to tell me how to be able to dance so long.
I came early but i could not see any of you guys, hopefully next time i can attend the pre-meet up.
hehee bye bye |

:( :( :(
Alright .. I really have to remember never to CRAM for an exam the night before a party ! 
First and foremost, I want to thank sober24/7 for inviting me to the pre-meet which, unfortunately I was unable to attend due to the fact that I completely forgot to take down your cell phone number and the directions to your house before I left school downtown without any idea on how to get there.
btw. special thanks to both RJ and TranceNerd who were both offering taxi-pools and car-pools to and from Rich's place which i failed to take up on..
and Itikia for setting up the usual stuff..
Secondly, I want to appologize to everyone whom I was supposed to meetup and see tonight at the party since I NEVER even attended ! Partying it up with all the TA's at Viva has ALWAYS been an awesome experience and I feel bad for not being able to contribute to that vibe tonight. I didn't end up getting home until about 11pm ish by which I was so completely fatigued having only had 3.5 hrs worth of sleep the night before, I made a futile attempt at setting my alarm clock to wake me at 1:00am (which was about the time I would have access to my car). Unfortunately by that time I was so utterly tired I woke up dazed not even knowing what was going on. I didn't want to take a chance coming out to a party knowing that I was that tired and risk falling asleep at the wheel either on my way there, or back coming home after the party since I had a similar incident before coming home from a Syrous party back in 2000 (I fell asleep at the wheel and almost got into an accident). Not only that but I have work the next day and staying for only 2 hrs at a party isn't exactly my idea of fun. :(
Anyways, I hope you guys all had a good time. I feel really bad not being able to make this party, especially due to the fact that I was hoping to finally meet some new faces and seeing some other usual suspects again. I guess I'll just have to stick to reviews for now..
ehhzz.. i just woke up right now and it's like 6:18am ! on a Sat morning too .. damn how sad..
cheers guys

A good party :D
* 12AM Got to Viva. Peter Ivals was warming up the club with some progressive sounds. Around 1AM he started spinning Trance, and boy, it was GOOD ! By 2AM I was already pretty tired.
* 2AM Scott Bond comes on. First hour didn't do much for me, just a bunch of "not so great" anthems.
* 3AM Scott Bond starts spinning some awesome melodic trance tunes. Damn it, his Trance was so beautiful that on too many occasions I didn't even want to dance - I just listened to the music and enjoyed.
* 4AM Scott Bond gets harder. I'm finally able to satisfy my need to dance.
* 4.15AM - My original ride to the bus terminal leaves the club. I'm leaving as well, but as I'm just about to go outside, Scott puts on another beauty, I say " it" and stay.
* 5AM - Finally leaving the club. Thanks so much to Yuri for giving me and Leila a ride to the bus station. Man, you've saved us so much time and hassle !! Thanks so much !
TA presence wasn't as evident as during Orkidea but there were still quite a lot of us. Music wise it was a good party, but I thought the vibe was somewhat lacking. |

| Good review Durafei. And yeah I'd like to see somewhat of a tracklist as well. |

| Durafei |
Peter Ivals:
Tomcraft - Loneliness
Jurgen Wries - Opera Song
Sushi - The earthquaker
Scott Bond:
Gouryella - Ligaya
Marco V - Echoes(Marco V.ision Remix - probably that remix)
Rank 1 - Breathing(whatever the mix that is played by everyone is)
(EDIT) Just remembered, he also played Solar Factor - No Return. It was one of his last records I believe
Bond definitely played some more anthems but I can rarely put a title to a song. Hopefully others will fill the rest. |
|
|
| sooper |
Solar Stone Scott Bond - 3rd Earth
Solar Stone - Release
2 Players - Signet
Good gig - I'm still drunk |
|
|
| Flec |
Ivals: Svenson and gielen - Answer the question ( cosmic gate remix)

HEHe wow
talk about short reviews.. i guess everyones out of breath :P
it was a pretty good night.. i had alot of fun... nice to see you flec for the first time :D .. good to see you as well durafei, swamper, Time2Burn Tranceextacy, highroller, tatgirl, UMM as well someone with flashing glowsticks.. cant remember the name.. but it was nice to meet you for the first time as well.
In my opinion the club was a bit too packed. not much room to dance.. i always found myself crashing into ppl.. i think viva should limit there ticket sales to account for a better party. The music was great
its alway great to hear ivals drop dj gert - give me some more (public domain mix)
haha that track is greaaaaat
now onto scot bond!
He started off well.. first transition was a bit iffy was off by a tad... lol haha.. just jokes i wont get into technicalities loool
Great set overall.. alot of hard tracks played.. not much trancy trance.. alot of George acosta and Marc la cruz
This is to add to the playlist
Three drives - greece 2000 (G and M project mix) OMG I DIED!
2 Players - Signet (G M project mix)
Queen vs vanguard - flash ( tomcraft mix)
above and beyond - far from in love
pretty good set.. nothing spectacular tho.. nothing like the last time i saw him in montreal.. i guess his style is chanign and im not acustomed to it
GREAT TIME tho
cheers guys! |

6 things that made the Scott Bond event amazing:
#1) The TA crowd. Always helping the party get better! I love you all!
#2) Bond playing "Jam & Spoon - Odessy to Oayoona" (the vocal mix of that song was called "Right in the Night" but was NOT played). This was one of my first dance albums I ever bought in the early 90s and for a DJ to mix in one of my favorite tracks of all time is awesome! I still listen to this track monthly....
#3) Bond closing with "Dark Suite f/ Aura - Dark Sweet Piano [traxx vs. organ remix]". I've been amazed with this song (found on the Gatecrasher 3 CD resident set) and been listening to it non-stop lately (for the last 4 weeks). This is such a brilliant track and it was played at the perfect time/moment which made it even better. The only thing that would have made it orgasmic is if the sun was rising and we could see it while this track played (time for TO to get glass-roofed club!)..... :)
#4) J/M/M - Thanks for the ride home. :) You guys a true friends!
#5) I was totally impressed with Scott Bond - exactly as I expected (as far a style). The varrying arrangements and uplifing feel was just what I needed last night. Bring back BOND and bring back HARDWICK!
#6) M. Oliver played an above average set for him (in my opinion). He kept a bunch of us dancing until they kicked us out!
There might be more, but right now I'm going back to sleep. ;) Viva always impresses me! Go VIVA! |

WOW! what a great night! too bad i had to leave so early.
shoutouts to sober 24 7, sooper, hansolo, tatgirl, durafei, RJ, Jenna, Mike, Flec, TranceXtacy, Az, and all the rest.
NRG2Infinity, i keep forgetting who you are :eek: post up a pic of yourself.
thanks to the guy who kept giving me hits off his spliff but this was a huge mistake. i am NEVER smoking weed at a club again. i had too much that night. i was too high and its not a party chemical at all for me. but man.. that was some quality nub right there :haha:
another song to add to Scott Bond's list is:
Rollerball - Albinoni (Super 8 Remix)
and lets not forgot Peter Ivals' fav song: Dark Beat!! seriously man.. you gotta stop playing this .
sooper was following me all night. seemed no matter where i went, this drunk was falling all over me. :stongue: |
