Edgar rocked it... PVD kept it going... SANDER BLEW IT UP!!!!!
We went right up stairs as soon as we got to Space (the main room was stupid packed). And I wanted to be sure to not to miss Sander.
They had Edgar/Paul in the room above the main room and it was a good vibe. Not to packed mostly those more experienced party people. The terrace was closed until about 330.
Paul started at 2 and as usual did it right. Played a strong set and even played some live keyboards... Very cool. Some how my feet (which had been killing me) became invisible and numb... Went back inside for another 60 or so until Sander came on Paul was stomping it when I left so the transition to the beginning of Sanders set was magical.
He started at 4 on the terrace. By 530ish we were ready and he knew it and he started up the mountain... A very high mountain with amazing peaks and some gradual build ups that seemed to last forever (everyone was loving it). At one point he went it a sprint
off a insanely beautiful build up... It must have lasted 35 minutes or so. This is were it got nutty. After the crushing sprint that had everyone in a frenzy he BLEW THE FREAKKING TOP OFF IT and we nearly lost our minds... I have no clue about the name of the track but it was awesome. It was hear when the temperature on the dance floor seemed to be going past 110 degrees that they dropped a CO2(I think that's what they use) BLAST for about 90 seconds at the Peak. Talk about beautiful...
From there he backed it down and let us catch our breath... And when he went back to work on us he dropped a couple lyrical tracks that had everyone's jaws on the floor. "Rocket Man" was the highlight for me... I've never listen to the lyrics of the Elton John version before but Sander's version spoke to me the way SILENCE did several years ago at PVD...
Ah yeah it was that emotional.
Time check - 830ish I believe... I kinda lost track at this point. He had me trapped.
From there he continued with some other beautiful peaks mixed with soulful lyricals tracks.
We were about 25 feet from the DJ booth and I was dead center. At several points Sander and I made eye contact as I was (as you can imagine) quite animated. During one peak where I was going off we even laughed and pointed to me seeming to say "You hear me"... And I did.
I hope to get a track list and maybe even a download.
In the end we left at 11 feeling that if this is my last club night / morning ever that it was perfect.
I'd say that this ranks in the top 3 sets ever PVD (Silence) and Micro being the other 2. Today id say maybe even top slot... I'm not sure though. We'll see when I separate a bit from it.
What a special event.
Thank you Sander, Paul, Edgar and SPACE for an amazing event...:D :D

Thanks for the kudo's... I would love to know the mix of Rocket Man.
Can someone please post one or it... It was dark and dirty with the Elton lyrics dropped in over top.

Well, if he dropped anything that he played at Ultra, you probably heard
Christian Smith and John Selway - Total Departure
insane track.
He also dropped the soulwax remix of Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor
and also anyone have an ID on some tune with the lyrics: "Stop. Proceed. This is what ya need."

I wasn't there but there is a nice Hardkiss remix of Rocketman.
