Now on to the review.. since you all know im a freak newayz.
There was one reason and one reason only for most peoples presence at this party. A man that goes by the name of DJ TIESTO.
We will get to him in a moment.
Door opens late.. nice lineup. ENOUGH cops.. and ofcourse.. the wonderful High Profile Security team.
Ravestar used the Docks to their full advantage. They really decked that place up. Video projections (more than just the DJ lineup) Pyrotechnics, confetti cannons, it all pretty much impressed me. And since im an 'intelligent lighting' bitch.. I was happy with the amount and set up of the lights.
If you were to throw a party at the Docks.. I believe that last night had the perfect amount of people. My guess.. 2000-2500 people.
Lets get on to the good stuff here...
The Sets:
St. Pete: Tracks good.. mixing blah.. heard it before.. nothin new.
Another Astronaut & Jonny Quest: Well lets see since I have heard them every Wed at The Livingroom for the last hmmmm... 4 months. I must say they threw down a damn good set. It actually surprised me.. to a degree. The Livingroom crew wanted to buy them new tracks becuase we tended to hear them OVER and OVER and OVER again. But now they come up with a good set? shesh.. thanx guyz.

YES! You all actually missed the Jelo pudding.. who cares about the set.. it was sweet.. but when ya got a wrestling match in Jelo pudding.. I mean.. common.. priorities here.
This what you MUST read..
DJ TIESTO:
My dear fucking lord allmighty hollyshit I have never been so amazed in my entire fucking life.
He is a trance god. A hollyman of the tables. Heard enough ranting? Okay.. lets get technical. The tracks selection was beyond incredible. Go figure that he produced basicly all of them himself. When you heard him spin you not only saw a brillant DJ, but a amazingly talented producer as well. The anthems were well spread out over the 3.5 hours. Didnt give the crowd to much time to catch their breath before going insane again. This is when you know you have talent... 3 turntables.. for trance.. ever see it before? No? Well its very hard to achieve, and he worked them all brillantly. Beat matching was PERFECT. Every track.. all three hours.. I didnt hear a beat go unmatched once. Mixing I would say was his weakest point here. Slowly mixing track A to B.. crossfader.. 1/4.. then BAM.. he punches it up to just past 3/4 will what I am guessing almost full base. Hearing the track being that pronouced was kinda distastefull in my opinion. However once he got into the track, deargoddamn! I never thought half of the tracks that were spun could ever sound that good. Brillant timing on tremble/bass cuts and buildups. It all worked so perfectly. Incase you havent realized allready he spun for 3.5 hours. This guy just fucked me up on the dancefloor. Very stong beginning to the set.. died off a tad in terms of tracks nearing the 2.5 hours mark, but ended with enough pizzaz to make you want to see him again tonight. I dont know what more to say about this set. It was one of the best trance sets I have EVER heard in over three years of partying.
Party ended early at 6:30. But it ended with Tiesto. Mark Scaife.. no matter how good.. just wouldnt have made it a memorable end.
Now I know there are gonna be people bitching about the crowd that was there. Seemed a little bit more like a Sat at Tonic than a party. Butnevertheless.. gino or raver, tall or short, candykid or junglist, the entire place went nutz for Tiesto's set. It was refreshing seeing people brought together by the music.
Did I mention Tiesto is a god? Im sorry.. i still cant get over it.
Give awayz all night.. CD's.. glowsticks and necklaces(woohoo).. but nevertheless.. still a great idea.
Now for the ugly...
The two dacning beauties were mmm mmm good. They stayed to the side.. did their GO-GO thing. But Mr. Musclehead *puke* sorry.. line has to be drawn somewhere. No judgement on him.. just get the hell out of way when a god is spinning. I want to see talent on the tables.. not nipply pecks.
Shamless selfpromotion on the Mic.. dear god.. we know Ravestar brought in Tiesto.. dont need to remind us 20million times about it.
2 OD's.. no deaths.
Didnt catch the Stickmen spin.. cant be everywhere at once.
Overall it was a fucking wicked party. 3.5 hours of Tiesto made my night.. take away him and you would of had nothing.
