ok im starting the official transmission afterthoughts thread because no-one else has yet :).
In Anycase id have to start of by describing the event as being genreally dissapointing. Aside from the excellent tuneage being pumped out by the altitude Dj's, the rest of the night was so boring.
Nervous promised that the evening would be much more uplifting as opposed to the normal hard trance mash-up. Little did i know that it would be exactly the same as every other transmission, except for a couple of extra rooms.
The locals (bexta, Pee-wee etc.) played the same old sets with the same old tunes that we heard last year. Again we heard The race, the theme (sooo over this) and the drill. They are cool tunes to dance to, but they are totally overplayed and so boring. The mixing between them was pretty shocking too. I dont know how many trainwrecks i heard nervous and pee-wee do.. Id like to say that im officially over hard trance :)
Moving onto hennes and cold, i thought they played pretty well, it wasnt my sort of music but i could still appreciate their track selection and mixing. It was such a relief to hear something a little different, albeit hard and banging.They definitely knew how to work the crowd,so they have my respect.
Moving onto the other arenas ( had to get out of the main arena..) i was the happiest the whole night in the "funky mission" arena. It was a funky-house arena ( as you might have guessed) and i heard some pretty cool tunes, and had a pretty good time.Everyone seemed to be a lot happier and not as focussed on drugs and heavy basslines...I saw parts of Shamus and matt roberts and thought they played really well.
Into the "nu mission area", i walked in a few times and almost instantly walked out due to this room being a total sweatbox. Quite literally there was almost no ventilation besides the doorways, and the tempreture directly outside was almost 7-10 degree's cooler!. In anycase it was refreshing to walk in there musically as there were some different styles and different tracks being played (still hard). I was hanging out the whole night for Muli ( an ITM Dj who *claimed* to play uplifting trance) but when i got there i was again dissapointed :(. Expecting some armin/tiesto/PVD styles (stupidly) i was eager to dance to anything under 140 bpm!. What Muli ( and solis, a dj he was versing) did play however was mainly some hard stuff, with a couple of semi-uplifiting tracks, i couldnt name them off the top of my head but to say the least it wasnt what i was expecting. I walked out just before the end of his set and went home feeling a little shortchanged.
In general ( if you people are still reading :P )im totally over hard trance,and it seems to be almost entirely for the drugs, and not much else ( IMHO :P ) and am dissapointed that this event was not as promised. The only saving grace(s) throughout the night were : Stama, Diggs and morro, Liquid M, shamus and Matt roberts.
ohh and it was cool to see Webmeister and DjWay towards the end!
what did you guys think? |

i duno... this was my 2nd transmission. the lasers lights were well wikked, but the music was suckky hard trancer garbage!
i think they had the Alti' guys on too early..
i mean, imagine, them playing a peaktime set,. FARK! that would kick.
Liquid M...no words....the next best thing from Aus me thinks....just awaiting the day when they release their stuff and all the Armins and Ferrys are playing their ! totally rocked live as always.!
...so... yeah, besides them boys, i didnt enjoy the rest. as much as i thought i would...
and if i hear bexta's'make it funkeeee' again i think ill throw up, that track is just,....ermmmm utter *&^% ...! ....anyways......
overall, i had a great time with the company of my mates...
nice to catch ya Joel and Wade.... :) ...hehehheheh :toocool: :tongue2 ..........

totally agree with everything you said helen, it would have been so insane to see Diggs n morro/stanma/liquid M from 12-4am. ahh well we can only hope and pray.
Cannot wait for altitude tho, gunna rock so hard! |

That was my first transmission; It was EXACTLY as I expected.
I was meant to be helping setup and fook off, but due to a few issues, ended up staying till it opened and got free entry coz of ma work....Walking in it was great with Nothing being blasted out, that was where it was @ with the Alt guys (as prev. said) keeping it REAL as well as getting the vibe for those who loved REAL trance, and also got a lot of new people interested. Liquid M as always busted it out, with a few remixes/reworks of their tracks (Dream Machine [last track] was teh 1st time I'd heard that version I was packing it)
Anyhow after that I spent most of my night away from the room due to it being too Transmissions. To walk from the back to the front, i always abused my pass and went through the back doors, it was too much.
I've never been a fan of hard trance or transmissions, and now I've tried it, and I know i don't like it.
As I've said on a few other places, you guys were the reason why I stayed. I drove and had passes to go etc, but the company kept me there.
Nervous is doing what he always does, calls it uplifting, and bangs it out.
In regards 2 Muli I was very pissed that he bangged it out so hard.. I've mixed with Muli a few times before, have heard him out once before as well as talk to him about tracks every few days and know that is not his normal style. His plan was to play uplifting but the guy before hand played hard, and they just continued from there for what I've heard. I left after the 3rd mix it was too hard and hot in there, but the way they played it was totally TransGurner style.
