[align=justify]It had been a while for me since I last saw Amadeus doing what he does best, but just as expected, it was worth the wait. It's strange how it's always worth the wait with this guy, be it the wait between a warmup and another warmup, or the wait between a solo gig and another. Regardless, it's always worth the wait, and last night was worth its weight.

(gota luv it wen i get all poetic n stuf :mrgreen:)

Tala and I were the first to arrive at X-OM somewhat past midnight, to run into DJ Cardiac and his Tala chilling at the bar. DJ G was opening the night with some funky House, and the place was starting to fill up, with some random ravers going at it on the dancefloor already. The DJ booth was completely transformed into a, well, real booth! And inside rested a pair of MKIIs and the classic 600 mixer. The sound system was boosted up by the organizers, but was not that well distributed, as some areas were predominant with bass, whilst others were way too acute. Nevertheless, it only took us a few minutes of exploration to settle down where the sound sounded (can I say that?) best - the stairs. Oh and for the record, if you ever get tipsy, don't stand on stairs, let alone dance on them; trust me, I learned it the hard way! :P

Special K took over for some more serious House, namely Progressive House, the kind of House you'd hear at B018, and this is where the night really started for me, as I am indeed fond of the deep dark melancholic ProgHouse. Playing tracks from the likes of Chris Micali and Ali Ajami, Special K started filling the floor more and more with each track, and after an hour or so the crowd had reached its optimal state of readiness for the man of the hour - Carl Cox. Look, I was tipsy, really tipsy, so from a distance Amadeus looked like Coxy to me, just don't rub it in my face now!

Amadeus (after Tala finally convinced me that the DJ who just took over is not a big african-american with split teeth) took over at around 1:30, and spanked right in the front with something that we hadn't savoured yet during the night: melody. An orchestral intro from the production of none-other than our very own member and friend Transparance (a.k.a. Alerto Carlos), featuring dramatic strings that threw hands way up in the air from the onset of its chord progression. Truly something to be proud of: a Lebanese DJ supporting the work of a Lebanese producer... we wished you were with us at that moment Alaa!

The tempo was increased and the energy level along with it, as Amadeus began slamming one trancer after the other, alternating between the Trance subgenres as he always does. The crowd was feeding off and he just kept on delivering. Between the technical mastery (or to refer to the exact word I used with Tala, "el 2astazé"), the brilliant taste, the vivid interaction, and the occasional warping effects, Amadeus took the attendants on a flight into audio; perhaps too much of a cliché expression to emply, but what other image could more accurately depict the Trance experience? (And I won't go into the images I was getting from the alcohol)

Unfortunately I was compelled to depart prior to Amadeus' closing tracks, as the lethal combination of the exagerated use of the smoke machine, the overcrowdedness and subsequent odours, and the cigarette smokes that fogged the venue caused my eyes to get uber-irritated and all teary (or was it me going all emotional over Trance? I'm known to do that you know, I was just too tipsy to recall! :P). I left just as our main man was mixing in Real High, so you could only imagine where he took it from there without me needing to review. Obviously I didn't get to stay til Gunther & Stamina took over, so I'll leave the comments to those who did.

Not many THerz showed up, but I'm sure you'll all make it up on this coming Tuesday in Podium, where I would be warming up for the legend I just reviewed. Also, don't forget to make it to Clock for Johnny's Trance set tonight, and to Cyan on Sunday afternoon for Gil Aura and Maximal as well. No, don't nag about having way too many events to attend to... we're just making up for the lost war time, the Lebanese way! :)[/align]

^ indeed.. the right thing is to have prog. trance followed by melodic and tech and the rest.. am just too fed up with that prog house that's been played almost everywhere by everyone!! prog trance isthe proper alternative!
well, this will be happening this Tuesday in Podium when DIO will warm up for AMADEUS, a proper warmup for i should say!! no1 should miss it!!

great set by AMADEUS as usual, and the beautiful track opening is called Alerto Carlos amd Daniel L - A Weekend In South Harbour a beautiful progressive track with amazing accoustic guitar sounds, one of Transparances best productions so far!!

It has been a long time indeed. I enjoyed it last time and I was glad to see some of you THerz.

The place was packed with gays. It was annoying to see guys staring at you all the time while shacking their asses. I HATED the crowd!

AMADEUS, you were great as usual! What a lovely set, the tracks you played are adorable except Dance4life.. hehe

Nice meeting you Tala, no not me (Dj Cardiac's girlfriend) :)
It's your life, DIVE it well!

Now that is music to my ears :)
Amadeus, thx once again for the support!

I think I'll upload a set that I've made including 2 of my latest tracks. Hope you'll like it.

everytime i go back .. and think about friday night .. the only BIG question that keeps crossing my mind is ..

WTF was Amadeus doing behind those decks ?????

despite Amadeus's set :: i had a freaking good time!

G and SpecialK were superb! a great and tasteful selection of tracks, they sure did set the mood right !

Amadeus .. PLZ PLZ PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ quit those neverending breaks in ur sets !!!

Stamina & Gunther keep proving to me .. that there is really, no freakin mercy when it comes to their music !

highlight of the night was Hugs & Kisses with stamina's slick & efficent mixing techniques !!

Well Jayc I have refrained from replying to kids like you for the past couple of years but I will give you one simple advice and do apply it from now on because you will be very happy: stay home if you don't like it and spare us your silly funny boring and repetitive comments each time you go to those gigs.
Now isn't that a good cure for you and for your endless complexes??!!
