This was my first show since ABGT100 and I had a blast! Sorry Brad, I woke up too late in the morning that I wasn't able to see you... got there right as Kate Simko was ending.
Was most impressed with Agoria, since he was the name on the roster I was least familiar with. He played funky and melodic tech house that was perfect for the early afternoon.
Guti kinda disappointed me a bit... last time I saw him he played deep house with lots of twinkling melodies, this time it was just your basic south american minimal techno (Luciano) - big basslines and lots of percussion, but no melodies.
Joris was probably the highlight of the show. Great, standout tracks including an ode to NYC in dropping "The Funk Phenomena".
Scuba wasn't too bad, but by this time I didn't do much dancing... just recovered for Sasha. Seemed like the brand of dark techno you associate with him, but it was nice hearing him close with Sandy B's "Make The World Go Round", one of the songs that initially got me into house.
Sasha was a mixed bag... a bit slow and much too techy in the middle (plus he was playing fast, like around 130bpm), but started going once he dropped "Turn Down The Lights" by Alan Fitzpatrick. Wish he could have kept going (I was way too tired and hungry by that time to want to go to the afterparty... I'm 33 now and have been doing this since early college).
