Yes...Ferry is certainly a ing GOD! I got in there about 11pm....Addy was cool for a bit. Nothing to make me cum in my pants but still a good warm up Dj. It took BT ing forever to set up his "digital symphony" and as expected, he disappointed me and my buddies. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I gave his set about 40 minutes and then I was out of there to take in some Oliver in the main room and what I heard in there felt like a good old rave! (around 1:30 - 3ish). He's still a dink up there in the decks....no personality for sure, but my respect has gone up for him since Labour of Love, where his 2 hour set was drivel. Sorry, I don't drive 2 hours to see a 9 hour Mark Oliver set. I do like his Timeless Trance cd though.
Anyway, I'm so pissed off I missed about 45 minutes of Holden's set but my buddies wanted to chill in the hip hop room for a bit so I just took a breather. They wouldn't listen to me about Holden.:( But when we finally got in there, damn he was good. I'm not a progressive fanatic but what he did play was goooooooooood ! He got me moving for sure and he's whacky on the decks.
Ferry was a little late but he ing ROCKED!! Yes, his set was far better than Tiesto's I must say! Tons of trance, some progressive, some breaks....damn it was good. There were a few cheesy vocal tracks in the beginning and near the end but I almost went insane when he dropped Out of the Blue, Tenshi, Elevate, Punk and Ligaya. Holy ! And he was SOOO nice too..easily the best personality I've seen! He signed so much stuff for EVERYONE who wanted something, ranging from vinyl, cd's, paper, shirts, bus passes, and MONEY! What a guy! But the best was when I saw a girl I know from the Tiesto forum....her name is Blanka (Mindcircus on the forum). She was the gorgeous one with the large chest up there dancing around. Anyway, she saw me and brought me up there on the stage and I got my picture with Ferry! I talked with him a bit after the set, told him he killed us all. I asked him what was up with Gouryella and he said "I'm going to try to get Tijs (pronounced TICE..aka Tiesto) to do another one with me this year. He's been busy...he is the number 1 now!" and gave me a big wink. I wonder what's really going on between them. Anyway, holy ....I haven't had anything special like that happen to me in a long time and I'm so grateful to Blanka for getting me up there. THANK YOU! By the way, I was in a blue plaid shirt with glasses with a tall black guy on the stage if anybody remembers me up there.
Anyway, I give the night a 10 for fun level and a 9 for music. Addy was appropriate, BT blew, Holden rocked and Ferry killed. He is a master of trance AND can spread out to other genres. I look for him to improve in this year's djmag poll. |

Rabbitjoker, I think I'm experiencing what you felt on Saturday.
It's going to be a looooong day. |
Scheiße!!! Saturday was way too long! I'm surprised I made it as long as I did @ Corsten (I left at 7:30ish did he play much longer [I think Seven Cities was the last song I heard]).
And with only 4 hours sleep on Sunday off for the family function I went..... But man did I sleep good last night! |

We'll I have to say I did not have the best night. I guess I was torn apart from Johan the night before and was not really in the mood to put up with nice guts and breasts jiggling in my face all night, haha. I did have lots of laughs though. It was pretty entertaining. Too bad most of those people are there to pick up and not for the music.
Mike and I didn't have to wait in line too long. It moved along pretty fast. We got in there and met up with RJ and As and a bunch of other TA's. Can't remember names, too many. I mostly chatted during Addy and BT. Sat down for a bit. Then I eventually made it out to the front. Al I can say is where ever I was it must have been a through way for people to walk. RJ and I also had a nice wall of the tallest people in the place standing in front of us, lots tall women too. But Holden was amazing. He has a unique style. Even though all I could do was bop my head. I started dancing a bit when Ferry came on but was just too tired to stick around. We left at about 5:30.
Shoutouts to everyone who I saw and met. I must have missed something cause I didn't know where half of you were all night.
RJ you kept me laughing thanks.
As I guess you didn't fall asleep this time ;)
Rich you looked like you were having so much fun.
Diginut nice seeing you again.
Tuss good to meet you. Was it your friend that was all cracked out? He kept trying to get us to read his shirt and it said Ibiza. I wasn't quite sure what he was getting at but he kept hanging off of us and drooling or something.
Nat too bad I didn't get to see more of you. We have a picture of that robot man (yeah it was cool) and in the picture across the way there you are.
Monish happy birthday! Good to see a bright smile on your face.
Hordash I didn't even recognize you in your disguise. It was funny when Mike asked you if you were a TA. :happy2:
I know I met a lot more but my brain is still too tired. Overall an okay night. |
i could make it out from the look on your face your were not too happy, well its those damn ginos, who are there to just pick up chicks.
well i had an awesome time other than the fact those girls dancing with me were on crack and i dont like to take advantage of anyone else.;):D
Holden and Ferry blew me away. Yeah i didnt even recognize mirza when he walked in with us. |

Ferry ROCKED!!! hes exactly what i hoped for live!i had not seen him before and will go see him again next time he's around.any of the other djs there i thought kinda sucked but my reasoning at the time told me they were good because all i cared about was hearing was Ferry Corsten.
Lets ALL face it that place sucks,with the meatheads and bimbos and all.prick bouncers and some lady at the door molesting me!I only put up with the crap so as i could hear Ferry for my first time.I did leave happy after his set though.
heres a Jim Rome quote:"if you swing off a brass pole,your a hooker!,probably not a good career choice". |

ok..I'm finally ready to give a review:
BT's set was fun...lots of energy
Holden was good. enjoyed him more towards the end..would have liked more
Ferry- better than at 6 year..but I wasn't feeling it
all in all a good night..didn't top howells/fontaine @ aria in February, but still an enjoyable time
good:
- free passes and someone bought me a water- I only spent $ for coat check at the club
-met lots of TA's
-every single person i met at the club was nice
-a good selection of members from my crew attended
-lower incidence of guys wearing toques but no shirts (that dichotomy annoys the out of me)
- no (as another poster put it) "holy " moments- no one told me anything disturbing, I didn't see anyone who was suffering from catatonia to a point of needing medical attention, and no one was sexually aggressive w/ me or my friends
-good chill out day yesterday..got tulips
bad:
-the new york sub-sect of our crew kept losing eachother
-i never made it into the guvernment and there was someone i was looking forward to meeting in there
-i forgot about taking pictures until it was late and i didn't get pics w/ some ppl that i would have liked to
- the walk to the car
so really...I have little to complain about
liam: thanks for the intro's to all the TA's and I'm glad that I was able to get you in free b/c of yours (and rj's) efforts
chris: good to see you as always
steve: such a sweetheart
aaron: good to meet you- no worries about the drunkeness
karlos: good to meet you (liked your hat)
rich: nice energy!
az: charmed!
nathalie: you're golden
to the TA that chatted about vitamins w/ me: thanks and it was good to meet you- I'm sorry, but i forget your name
It was great meeting all the other TA's as well-- it totally added to my night
I kind of forgot that my pictures are on the site so everytime someone recognized me it freaked the hell out of me....esp when it was lurkers
charmscars
ps. this is how cool i am: my reaction to seeing swamper: stared at him for 5 minutes and didn't introduce myself |
