Well, good party, to tell you the truth I only went to this party for 2 reasons... Marco V and DJ Scot Project.
Marco V.... Awesome set! Unlike his usual tech-trance sets I've heard before (not live),but it was great to hear him thorw out tunes like Kid Vicious - Proceed. But I almost blew my load when I heard him drop Push - Strange World. Great set, great mixing... too bad he had to play to a crowd where I think almost no one there even knew who the he was! It's great to go to parties like this, but come on, Marco V should be playing to an Insomnia sized crowd to people who come to see Marco V! It's kinda dissappointing to see that not everyone was there for him and his music. It seems that just as many people would show up if there were a bunch of no names just so they can hear something they can get ed up too, with a beat!
Sorry, a little venting.
DJ Scot Project... just what I expected, plus a little more. I was thinking to hear the typical Scot Project sound, but the man played beautifully with some absolute devastating basslines and buildups. I just don't understand why you want to have DJ Scot Project on from 4-6am. With the music this guy plays, he should have been on before Marco V to get some energy going. Having him on so late... you can't pound everyone into the ground until 6am. People are getting tired and clearing out.
I've said it before and I'm going to say it again... something has to be done about the sound and the acoustics in the Plaza of Nations. The only place you could hear everything the DJ's were dropping was right infront of the speakers in the Front! Starting at the back of the room, it was pretty quite and echoeing. The only place you could distinctly hear the high hats and pounding bass were the main front speakers too. If you guys want soem help with containing the music in there... let me know, got tons of ideas to get some better sound quality in there. The other rooms were great though, especially in the theatre!
Well, that's all. I think I may have to be done with these all ages events though. Never have I seen so many little 15-16 year old girls wearing shorts that barely cover their asses. Not that I mind looking... but for some one whose a bit older, it sure is hard not to feel guilty. And on that note... that's one more reason to bring these top DJ's to the clubs, and not just the parties! |

| As long as you had fun, that's all that matters. Sorry to hear that the crowed was not there for the music, and that many were there to drop drugs and get f***ed out of their minds. So what did everyone else think of this party? It was on the 20th and I see hardly any reviews of this one. |

Yeah, i heard from someone that a lot of people were doing some pretty raunchy stuff for a classy event like Marco V. And lots of people were fcked out of their minds on what have you. That's just not right. They give Vancouver fans and trance lovers a bad name. If they want to do drugs and get wasted and dry hump and stuff like that, there are other places to do it. If that's all people do at events, the DJs might not want to come back. They ruin it for all the music lovers out there.
Then again I didn't go so I don't know what really went down, I'm sure there will still tonnes of great times to be had and I know Marco can rock. I bet even Ricky H (if he played) had a great time along with all the other DJs and I'm sure TAs and everyone else still had fun! |

Marco V was the man of the night. Amazing set... bascily heard every track that i wanted him to play... and it was very similar to what i was expecting (as i did listen to live sets from sensation white 2003 and a 3 hr set in atlanta in earlier of 2003)... and i loved and danced every minute of it. At the end of his set i got a chance to talk to him on his way out and have my cd signed... my question "how did you do it? play netherlands friday night and west coast canada saturday night... just amazing."... his answer "i just love to dj"... and that was certinaly something you could see on his face durring his entire set.
Stanton Warriors was the other highlight of the night... their Dj\PA Set was amazing. Basicly take a stanton warriors dj set... and add live remixing on the fly on top. Real crazy stuff... and such great tunes played.
Sound in the main room was the big downer of the night (among the overly drugged people, including 2 od's i witnessed being attended to). They really didn't test the sound system very well before starting the show... the delays were big issues... the levels were inconsistant... and i heard there was monitor issues for the djs too. Just horiable. And the lighting setup was nothing to go home about espicaly since Solid was ranting and raving how awesome it was going to be.
But I agree with the comment about these types of DJs should be for club nights... I certinaly would love to see Marco back for a club night event... I'd do everything to get my butt off the Island for that show. |
