To Ferry:
"Why, didnīt I see
This before
Why, didnt i come
Back for more
Now, I do feel
The pain inside
Now, I have seen
All I can do is hide and..
Crrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy...
All I can do is, cry
Like this "
In the words of system f and starfox: I CRY!
Ferry totally destroyed me the best set i've heard him play. I staggered out at the end legs cramped up beyond belief and a feeling of totally satisfaction. The dutch trance Gods sure punished me this weekend for the sin of loving trance!!
BT proved that MACS do RULE! But my energy wasn't there yet so I spent most of his set relaxing with good company. He is such a ing rock star all glamed up up there. Good performer though, and although he did NOT blow everyone away he got everyone hungry for more.
Holden's set was where my body started to feel the beat. His style is very dancable and I quickly found myself right up front (in the middle of "tribers" no less) bouncing and bopping away. Eventually found the Trancaddict spot and found my home for the night right to the side of the stage.
When Ferry came on it was obvious who most of the people came to see. The rush to the stage was almost overwhelming too many ppl trying him to get him to sign . Suprisingly he seemed to love it and signed evey peice of napkin, 5 dollar bill, flyer and cowboy hat that people would shove up on the decks. The technical problems at the start of it were a bit confusing but it was solved and everything was fine. And to make what could be a very long tale short he totally rocked the place.
Guvernment: You gotta get your ing act together with crowd contol and people flow. IMO the place needs a total redesign because although they can fit 3000 people or more into the place they don't have the capicity to handle the traffic that it caused by so many people.
At about 11:30 I went into the Orange room to say hi to a friend. After buying her a bithday shot I proceeded to return to the Kool Haus only to find a "labour of Love-esque" traffic jam at the door to get back in. The one bouncer at that door told me that NO ONE was getting in to the KOOL HAUS. I basically said "BULL I came here for this and I am not taking this ." It sucks to have security be such s but i've grown to be accustomed to it at the guv. Eventually I assisted two girls sneek past the door gaurd and as he chased them down into the orange room I and everyone else charged back into the Kool Haus... Only to find that there was TONS OF SPACE! :whip:
Fave moment of the night for me was System F CRY. Everyone singing along hands in the air sharing the wicked vibe that always exists at the end of an awesome party. Me and Ferry's manager had a little sing along to the lyrics to which he raised his champange glass(hmm or JD) to me.
I found the crowd to very friendly the vibe in there was awesome. But that could have had something to do with the fact that I was surrounded by TAs all night. And at this point it goes without saying that this group is the best people to party with of all time.
OK... long review over.. shout outs to come soon... |

An amazing night!!!!
Holden & Corsten played amazing sets!!!! BT was greatly enjoyed as well.
Even the people in our bunch that are not too much into this music were out there dancing like crazy....
Line up wasn't too long and found a pretty nice spot in Kool Haus to dance the night away without being pushed and stepped on;)
It was really nice to meet some of the TA's (Time2Burn,infinity HIGH & Tatgirl)
In case you don't remember me, i was the one tagging along with bandit:) |

had an amazing time at the guv, but that was basically inevitable considering that holden and corsten were there. i thought the amount of people in the club was perfect cause you could be right at the front dancing withought getting trampled. the energy level was crazy, from the crowd as well as the djs. i can't believe how the place wasn't emptying out at all.
anyway, posting to say hi to all the tas i got to meet, and especially the ones i got to talk to.

This is me posting :)
All the regulers here seem to cover all the bases when it comes to discussions. One comparison between Ferry and Johan from friday, Johan did a lot more "tricks" on the decks and put more improvisation into his set. Ferry just did a fairly straight mixed set (totally amazing of course). |

Ultra spin... and a good night it was.
Got in after 12, so hardly heard Addy spin. Instead, I caught Bt's set, which was alright at times. Some of what he was playing was cool. Can't give a rating on his set due to the fact that i don't know any of the technical aspects that go into what he was doing.
James Holden... This guy looks like he's 16 yrs old!!! I'm not much of a fan of progressive, but i really liked his set for what it was. Kinda dark and trancy. Not sure, but did he train wreck at one point?? Either way i'm not gonna on him for one technical mishap. Closer to the end of Holden's set i went to the Guv side for about 10 mins, and Oliver was spinning a super hard Trance set... pretty bangin', would've stayed there, but Holden's not here everyweek, so i left back to KH. Overall he spun a great set for his style of beats. 8/10.
Holden played:
16B - The Game (Marcello Castelli Tribal Deep Remix)
Kirsty Hawkshaw - Fine Day (James Holden Remix)
Slam feat. Dot Allison - Visions (Vitalic Remix)
Dot Allison - We're Only Science (Slam mix)
Leama - Requiem For A Dream (Leama's Dream Mix)
Altitude - Marrakech [i think Holden played it, but it might have been Bt that played it, but it was played by one of them]
James Holden - Nothing
Now, Corsten was late, but that's ok... cause he played an amazing set. I thought he would've played alot more anthems then he did, but he managed to not over do it. His mixing was perfectly on point, and had a wicked track selection that had me moving!!! This is one of those set's that i wish was possible to get my hands on, as it was probably better then most mixes he has available for d/l at this moment. 8/10
Corsten played:
Hydra - Affinity (remix?)
3 Fingers - Frozen February (Flake mix)
Oliver Lieb pres. Smoked - Metropolis (Eric Prydz Munich Nrg mix) ...<==== [sounds similar to Sharpside - Spacecruising]
Solid Globe - North Pole
Kansai - Rococco (original)
Sonorous - Protonic (original)
Gouryella - Tenshi
4x4 - Indigo (this song is taking forever to be released!!!!)
System F - Solstice
Three Drives - Air Traffic
Gouryella - Ligaya
Ferry Corsten - Punk (ok... i like Corsten and all, but c'mon already enough with "Punk" now!! lol)
Eon - Pocket Damage
Pepper Sweeney - H4u
Gouryella - Tenshi
System F - Needlejuice
Corderoy - Sweetest Dreams
Aly & Fila - Eye of Horus
Push - Strange World (remix)
System F - Cry
System F - Out of the Blue
Kid Vicious - Proceed
Above & Beyond - Far From in Love
I give this party a 8/10... vibe was great and set up was nice, but i've had better times.
Bull Security of the night: tossing some guy, wearing nothing but a light shirt, pants and shoes, out of the back doors of the club into -15 degree weather... at least get the guys coat... he could catch hypothermia in minutes... a lawsuit just waiting to happen.
