Well here it is:
So I drive up to Soundfactory last night at around 11:30 p.m. and see how this massive line of PVD fans WRAPPED around 46th through 45th street, and thought to myself,"This is going to be a LONNNG Night!"I could not believe my eyes. In all my times I have been to this place, I don't recall EVER seeing a line this insane!
So what do I do? Cut the line! Took me about 15 minutes to get in!? HEHEE!
So I get in and Louis Diaz was still on. Sounded to me like your typical Soundfactory garbage.
Inside was not all that packed yet. So my boyfriend and I anxiously awaited for PVD himself to take over those tables. Finally at about 2:15ish the crowd KNEW it was that time. Right away the crowd applauded as he stepped up to the turntables. He instantly had the crowd in a frenzy. After the 1st couple of tracks, PVD could be seen dancing in the DJ booth. This is the first time I had ever seen PVD so alive&jolly while spinning, it was definitely different. He was dancing while he was changing records, and at one point he had changed shirts, with what was probably a gift from a fan, as the short sleeve t-shirt read "NY Loves PVD, with the classic I Love NY heart. That was definitely cool.
PVD's set seemed to change moods a couple of times through the morning. At the beginning, he played alot of vocals, and I wasn't really feeling most of them. Then he changed it up, playing some anthems of the moment such as Ferry Corsten's Punk & Rank1 Awakening. The crowd was going nuts during that track. I also remember a nice trio of tracks, first with Ralphie B's Massive, followed by 4 String Into the Night, then capped off by the 4 Strings remix to Blank & Jones' Desire. At that point, PVD was at his best so far, atleast from the reaction to the crowd. At around 5am, PVD began a medley of his own tracks and remixes, which was definetly the highlight of my night. I remember him playing his remix to St. Etienne's "That's How We Used to Live, which was a shock. Also I remember hearing Romanthony's Never & Jam & Spoon's Be Angeled somewhere in between...along with Punk Funk.
All in all, I would say it was an average set by PVD. Not the best I've ever heard from him, and certainly not the worst. I guess I was expecting more, as it was his first time back to NYC since Twilo.
As for Soundfactory, this is probably their biggest event there. What's funny is that the crowd seemed the same i remember it from 3 years ago. Who agrees? hah!
But, PVD was definitely diggin the NYC crowd, nonetheless...and definitely seemed ecstatic at his return. We await his NEXT return!
Peace!

WHOHOOO
:D
I went down from Mass. and I must say, the drive was more than worth it.. I really like many parts of the sets. I was dancing all night long and while i did not know many tracks, i must say that i liked most of his selection :D
I loved the DOULBE ENCORE he gave (I think it was over at like 8:30am).. ending in 'For an Angel' - now people might think that is cheesy, BUT never having heard that track at a club before, i must say that i was going NUTZ (though I was starving and dead tired!!)..
I saw PvD at 'Love From Above' last summer and this SF set was much better, but i was forced to leave eraly at Love From Above.
Gernally speaking, I am glad I met up with some TA people and we had major fun.. |
