I had personal reasons for that, but it was nice to see everyone surprised to see me out there tonight.
Now onto the review.
Matthew "Tooth" :toothless Decay.
This damn fool played an elevator set; it kept going up and down, up and down. He would play tons of monotonous, housish crap, then bring in some good prog trance, then back to the crap. He only played 2 good songs which made me come alive:
Hearing Cowgirl live was awesome. Got video of that, will upload it soon.
Other than that, I was pulling at my teeth at how horrible Dekay was, set wise. You lose. NEXT!
Markus Schulz...
/blunt I am not really a Markus Schulz fan. /blunt. People will shun me for that but I don't care. That's how I feel. Too much prog puts me to sleep. The last time I saw him @ Space was on 11/22/03...the first time I ever partied with TAs...and he ripped it that night.
Deja Vu.
Markus gets my pick as DJ of the night. Track selection, mixing, crowd interaction, everything. Highlights include:
Without you near
Marco V - False Light (Markus Schulz remix? <- Arturo gave me this 411)
Above and Beyond - Air for Life (???? remix) <- REALLY NASTY hard banging remix. Absolutely incredible.
Way Out West - Killa (Orkidea remix) <- I freaked when this song came on.
Hammer & Bennett - Language (Santiago Nino Dub Tech Mix) <- Thanks TiestoLIVE for reminding me about this quality tune.
Forgot the rest of the IDable tracks but it was all stuff I liked. Just awesome. IMO the crowd had more fun to his set than Laughing Boy, who I'm about to review now.
Armin van Buuren...
#3 DJ in the world.
Um...what the was he thinking?
Playing nothing but monotonous progressive garbage which went NOWHERE. I KNEW he wouldn't be able to top his Trance Energy set, unless he does that as I write this review, but by now I don't really give a cause I torn open an old wound, I'm dead tired and sober. Armin absolutely STUNK last I left. Suzy Solar, Lis, Anthony, Mel, Vade, almost everyone I talked to on the way out agreed so it wasn't just me, but we won't know how he rounded up the night until it's over in 2 hours and ten minutes from the time I post this review. But let it be said I could NOT handle more than 35 minutes of his set before I threw up my hands and just left. Something TOLD me to stay sober tonight. Boy am I glad as I did.
MASSIVE TA turnout, including Ali (musiqzone) from CT, LATAs Michelle (sweetcandy girl), kris (Neinerlove) Robert Stern, Carrie, I THINK I saw Phillipe but I was so aggravated by Armin I didn't say hi. Joey (BitchBoyNYC) had arrived shortly after I did with Beth (Destynee), my ex-fiancee. I miss you again already. :(
Bottom line: Jem was defntely right about Markus owning in Toronto @ the Guv, cause the Schulz did the same for Space tonight.
Kudos to you Markus. Keep up the good work.
Armin, trash the prog and go back to your Trance Energy 2006 set and take some in' notes, ya n00b.
One very much IN PAIN DarkAngel.
Pics and videos coming later.
MeLLyMeL
Nice meeting the west coast TA's!!
I'll be there next friday just not in LA ;\
Anyways. I'll keep it short and simple cuz i'm sleepy and I have to work soon.
MDK - is just nice to look at. Got in when BAD was playing and I adored that 'send me an angel' remix
MARKUS -
FUKING OWNED. I hope this shows Club Space that Markus needs to be here more often.
Armin -
I could only take the 1st hour before getting uber bored. The only highlight in that hour was when he dropped Elevations remix of that Basic Perspective song?? And Mikey went up and pulled the horn twice. aww so cute.
1 song after that I pretty much left.
Good night:toothless

I was very surprised to hear it, but glad nonetheless.

i knew armin couldnt do a repeat of the set he threw down in october. armins never exactly been the poster child for consistency.
how was the line at space? was there room to dance or were you guys packed in there like sardines? drink prices insanely high again this year? how much is it this time? :rolleyes:
that laser looks kinda weak... did space buy a used one? lol i wonder if they'll have it after conference or if they're going to get rid of it. hmmmm
lis, THANK YOU for the call during do what u do! wish i coulda been there. :(

When me, Beth and her crew arrived at Space, they had let everyone in already, so there was NO line, much to our shock. Parking was only $10, and it really wasn't that packed this time around. Some people were still being stupid though, dancing like they owned the dance floor. I stayed completely sober so no idea about the drink prices, Flo.

Stomping grounds is an excellent way to put it, Neil, cause Markus did just that. One thing I notice about his interaction which is unique to him is how he "loves" the crowd back. How he appreciates them. It's something I don't see much in other DJs.
And thank you. I give my best in my reviews. :)

Markus went on once again to show that the local DJs can outdo the bignames (i.e. Edgar V > PVD) <- but I am NOT hoping for this Friday night. I got TOO much riding on this one. No offense, Edgar. /blunt

I don't think we'll have too much to worry about. :)

LOL
Loved the review Dark Angel. You're so blunt that it made me laugh.
That's too bad that Armin sucked ass last night for you guys. But come on, don't complain too much, its WMC, you can just go see another killer dj somewhere else.
*wishing I was in Miami*

Thanks, Ashley. I tell it like it is. Just an offnite for Armin I guess. As for other DJs, there was Meganite going on upstairs with Picotto and company, but that's another topic altogether.
May I also add that Matthew "Tooth" Decay :toothless is defintely better than DJ Remy in comparison. At least the Tooth played a few likeable tunes, but not many. Crowd interaction was average.
