Did anyone go?

My condensed review:

NAS's show was a definite highlight of the night in the hiphop room, properly done and I expected nothing less. Beatnuts were fuckin good although tyey appeared much later than their timeslot.

Tony Touch wasnt bad either, except WHAT THA FUUUUCK was that rock tune with no hiphop beats whatsoever doing in the middle of his set with no buildup to it or a cooldown?? Just being funky? Smoked too much? Funny part is you could tell people who were grooving and dancing did so because of inertia on that track.. lol..

In the Trance room Armin of course kicked ass, not even as cheezy as I expected and he has so much genuine fun behind the decks you cant help but catch it. It's a trip just seing him live, too. Funny, he pulled this crazy older chinese crowd who were totally raved out plenty og good old E-Pits..

I also really liked Christopher Lawrence, his mixing was almost impeccable and track selection kinda tight except some cheeze towards the end. Chris Liebing started by killing everyone's ears with that high-pitched white noise sample with low and high ends cut (ouch) but then dropped some nice deep stuff. I cant really evaluate Blank & Jones since I was really tired in the end and danced on empty, but I recall having a good time so the set must have been good.

In the end the dancefloor was still packed and nobody wanted to leave. They got one encore, but B&J finished it in mid-track which prolly fuccked up alot of people's high since it seemed like everyone was buzzing away even at 10:30 hehe...

Security wasnt too much in everyone's face and water was in abundance. Bathrooms were packed as hell (20+ ppl lineup TO THE URINALS) downstairs and only few of the buzzed-out ravers figured out there were 2 very light traffic bathrooms one floor up. haha..

I'm so sore from dancing, I dont think I've danced that much consecutively in years, and all that on one measly ephedrin pill. Fuckin A...

Oh yeah whoever got the VIP bracelets are SUCKAZZZ cuz in both rooms the view from the crowd / up front was way better than from the vip areas.

All in all it was a great night, I missed the massives. But it also reminded me why I dont really go to those anymore ;)
