What a party.
The people, the music, it was a gathering and a night that I wont soon forget.
The Serenity crew went all out once again making the venue look like something out of a fairytale. Emmense amounts of decorations and decor transformed the Skylounge into a truly epic place to spend the night. The visuals and lighting were more then I expected for a party that size, which was truly an added bonus.
Nokturnal and Squirt, sick newskool breaks tracks in combination with amazing turntable fanatics made this set into a breaks set that you couldn’t sit around for, you just had to dance. No questions asked.
Jelo and Decepticon layed down the hard pounding house for their (just under) 2 hour set. They kept up the beats all night and added a few breaks tracks to round out the set. (my question is why?)
Dose the Alien, the headliner from NY punished the dancefloor with some twisted hard trance. Not my favorite, but hey, everyone seemed to enjoy it.
Jason Marshall vs AT-AT: Theses two Serenity veterans layed down the set of the night. I heard some new and amazingly superb tracks from AT-AT, while the entire set was woven together with clean and perscise mixing. It had been months since I had actually found a trance set that I could really get into, for this set, I was guilty as charged. I couldnt help but dance my phat ass off. I left as soon as the set was done, I didnt want anything to ruin the sweet sounds I just heard.
The crowd was a perfect size for the venue, peaking at around 5 (no doubt unhappy LA kids looking for a good way to end the night). It was an energetic and ethused group of people, dancing was on everyones mind.
The Dance-Off:
HUGE SUCCESS!
The Breaks Round:
(Nokturnal and DJ Squirt)
Pure and utter madness! The response to this event was more then I could of ever hoped for. To say that Toronto has some sick dancers is a drastic understatement. To a crowd of over 400 onlookers the scene’s finest battled for well over an hour for the title of breaks king and queen. In the end, Steevedee won with his complex and educated manuvers while Amy outperformed any girl that dared to compete.
Complemetary prizes went to Nick and Mark.
The House Round:
(Jelo vs Decepticon)
Although a late start, round 2 proved to be just as much fun. Sean and Kate were our esteemed judges for this round and handed out victories to Dan and Sabrina. They just ate up every beat and put on a truly amazing display.
The Trance Round:
(Jason Marshall vs AT-AT)
Lisa regained her title from the last Dance Off after tearing up the dancefloor and showing the crowd all the new moves she had picked up over the last year. You thought she was good before? Pft! Man, can this woman ever break it down. Oliver (aka The Guy on the Couch) showed the most original and flowing moves I had ever seen. Ever! I swear to god this guy moves like you would not believe. He said he could dance, I didnt believe him, that kid sure did prove me wrong.
Special thanks go out to Sean, Kate and Dan for being judges for the night. Robb’s knack for being late disqualified him from his judging dudies.
All in all, it was your typical Serenity party, an amazing party with amazing people.
Brad, Chris, Willar and the rest of the Serenity crew, great work guys. You once again gave Toronto an epic night of partying.
But after four Saturdays in a row of ‘raving’, I think its time for me to head back to clubland. We shall see everyone at Turbo next week.
