Show was sweet...
Oakenfold was classic.... see forthcoming apology post...
Hernan was solid, really good set... only saw 45 minutes though...
Sharam was the best.
Cracked... but not broken @ 7:25 AM...
Peace,

agreed. z0mg
my gf and i were right in the front just to the right of the DJ setup and just to the left of the speakers. sooo in insane. i loved the energy of the whole night. hernan rocked it. sharam killed it. oakey pwnd it, although i heard a trainwreck or two :p
my gf, who listens almost completely to country and thought my music was annoying basically loves it now. lmao. not even joking. she's so excited to go to more shows and clubs and whatever.
highlight of the night.... i cant hear out of my right ear very well.. it sounds like i have headphones on that ear.
whatever... wont go into detail but my expectations of the night were matched and greatly exceeded.
EDIT: btw.. i parked all the way over at the hilton. dont ask my why and when i got to the rave he said i couldnt wear my hat so i threw my hat and camera in the bushes. well.. shows over, i come out and i find my camera but no hat. i love my hat. i bought it at the hard rock cafe in orlando. .. that pissed me off:whip: |

head......hurts.....ugghhhhh
hernan's set was great from beginning to end.....very chill at the beginning...got everyone stirring with some long breakdowns in the middle...had everyone ready to party at the end. i can't wait to see him again....
sharam's set was excellent...
oakenfold.....i was a little bored at the beginning of his set. midway through i was really going though. i liked his programming, but some of his transitions were even embarrassing to listen to:nervous: "oops....i'm trainwrecking....gotta kill the outgoing track quickly....there....oops, the bass isn't in on the new track...there we go...fixed it" i still had a great time during his set.
overall, it was a better show than i expected....there were some issues of hearing DJs in the next room when you didn't want to hear them....and i hate drinking out of plastic cups all night, but people were generally courteous on the dancefloor and there was a good vibe for sure. :)
it was cool bumping into RJT and Zack and nice to meet lucid and glass! too bad we couldn't really chill until the show was almost over.... |

That's how I felt. I was watching from above for the first 5 songs or so, and then this tune comes on that just beckons me to the dance floor. The rest was just bangin. Very good set from him. The mixing wasn't bad at all, sure there were a few slip ups. It was actually Hernan that I was surprised with, though. There were a couple of times when I heard some Oakenfold worthy transitions from him. I felt that was odd considering his style, deep, smooth, prog, would require smooth transitions no? Anyways, he was a good warm-up DJ. Sharam was very good, excellent mixing. However, I did feel he favored the breakdowns a little too much.
I went to scope out Fergie and the man was hammering some really fun stuff. I believe Hernan should have been in the Vibe room, where Fergie was, and Fergie should have been in the big room. It was a bit too loud in the Vibe room to begin with and with the stuff Fergie was playing I couldn't spend more than 15 minutes in that tiny room.
Anybody hear some good amateurs? There where these two guys, looked early twenties or so, in the bar room at around 10:30 or so, that were playing some pretty good stuff. However one of the guys, who was wearing a baseball cap was throwing in these effects and scratching like he was the next Zabiela. Could've done without a nice tune being interupted by him deciding to throwing in an ear numbing effect. Everyone else seemed very unimpressive. I see how much talent is on the amateur dj forum here, and then I go to an event like this and not only do I not see better djs, but I see far worse ones. It seemed like every had a stiffy for dnb, which the crowd was completely unresponsive to, aside from your candy ravers. There was one guy who popped on that Roxburry song. At least that was good for a chuckle, good to see a DJ with a sense of humor. All in all, I would say it was a good night, good times. |
