I didn't think Friday night was all that. We arrived around 1:20 and caught the last 30-40 minutes of Timo Maas. Although some of his stuff was rocking, he kept dropping into the doldrums of quiet, slow house for seemed like an eternity (10-15 seconds). Then, he'd pick it up just to quiet down again. He did drop Azzido de Bass' "Dooms Night" though. As for Deep Dish, it was my first time hearing them in Twilo. I saw them in Seattle in September and they were about as good as they were Friday night. While there were some times that I lost myself dancing my ass off, those times were too few (maybe 4-5). The rest of their sets were up and down (in terms of track genre) with everything from funk house, to deep house, to progressive trance, to trance (they dropped Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" [The Quivver Mix]) and Steve Lawler's "Rizin'"). So, yes, it was a good night but not amazing. Maybe the coolest part was seeing Sharam on the dancefloor up front grooving with everyone... Digweed. ------------------ "I won't forget, just remind me."

If you are talking about the set that was webcast on his website (www.sasha.co.uk) then there's a guy on the Global Underground chat boards (forum = Twiloland) that put together the entire track listing. All I know is that Sasha drops one of my faves towards the end - the Futureshock Mix of Underworld's "Cowgirl"! ------------------ "I won't forget, just remind me."

I went to Ibiza to this the main week of closing parties this September with my best friends. It was fuckin' amazing - great sun, great people, great DJs and great candy! We got to see Judge Jules, Dave Seaman and Paul Van Dyk, to name a few. I even put together a journal and a collection of photographs from our trip.

So... Who went? How was it? ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I'm there. ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I've seen PVD 2 times in Twilo and each time it was the same. I mean, yeah, I give him credit for his stamina and his fans which never leave but he basically plays the same shit. Of the 4 times total I've seen him, he's only amazed me once and that wasn't even here in the states but in Ibiza for this year's Cream closing party @ Amnesia. NOW, that was brilliance. Thus, no more PVD for me in the states. As for Oakey, the same old same old. 2 hour set for fans that adore him way more. I was there in July @ the Roseland and was quite disappointed. Sandra Collins kicked his ass that night (yeah, I know he was kind of sick). But, I saw Oakey in Ibiza the Tuesday before the Cream closing party and that was the best Oakey set I've ever heard. He held nothing back and his set was much longer...I mean much longer. He got on @ 2:30AM and when we left @ 8:30AM, he was still fuckin' spinning. Digweed. ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I'm there. ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I'd like reviews of Oakey at 5 or Buzz - going to Sasha and Digweed tonite...thus I cannot make it! ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I am going through major SND withdrawal. I haven't been since August...thus I am fucking there. ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

What the hell are you talking about? Are you still fucked from clubbing this past weekend? There's no farting discoball at Twilo. It's simply the kryogenifex (the cold air you feel) machine. And, that noise you hear is it warming up... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Sorry I missed meeting everyone at 5 Saturday night. I was still fucked up from my roll Friday night @ Buzz. I went all out! ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

My review of Scott Henry @ Buzz last night. It was on folks! http://www.electrophobic.com/Journalistic/001118.html Scott Henry @ Buzz November 17 ------------------------------ The crew last night consisted of Krish, Brian, Pete and myself. Knowing that Derrick Carter was to spin from half past 2 until close and that Scott Henry was opening until Mr. Carter hit the decks, we decided to arrive early to hear the entire set from our favorite local DJ. I truly believe it was the earliest I have ever been to Buzz. When we arrived around quarter of midnight, only the front room was open and it was quite packed. But, soon thereafter, the staff opened the main room and folks flooded the main floor. Now, before I proceed in discussing Mr. Henry's performance, we definitely need a preface. Since I am moving to Manhattan at the end of this month (Yes, Twilo, here I come.), yesterday was my last night at Buzz for what could be a long time. Thus, you can imagine my excitement when we found out Scott Henry was spinning. All that needs to be said is that Mr. Henry's set was the most amazing set I've heard in the last two and half years I've been in DC. When we arrived on the main floor, the named superstar was already spinning some amazing hard trance. With my blue photons and my silver 'fly' glasses, I was instantly sent flying and so were my mates. Now, the reason I love Scott Henry so much is that his track selections are always dead on. I cannot even remember a single instance when I have heard him spin something I did not like. And last night, it was as if Mr. Henry could read my mind. He reached in and took my fantasy playlist directly from me and grooved all of my faves, including Saints and Sinner's "Pushing Too Hard", Simon's "Free At Last", Timo Maas' "Ubik" (Brian was all over this one), Trisco's "Muzak" (What an amazing rollercoaster ride of disco-trance!) and X-Press 2's "AC/DC". But, after all those tracks, I felt there was something missing and for some reason or another, Mr. Henry knew it. Thus, the track that sent me, my friends and all of the other folks on the floor truly ballistic was the Futureshock Mix of Underworld's "Cowgirl". I mean damn, there was a point during "Cowgirl" that I turned around to get a glimpse at what Mr. Henry was admiring and what I saw was a scene I will reminisce about for a long time to come. The dancefloor was a tumultuous wave of bouncers that had been overtaken by total bliss - a total bliss created by DC's greatest DJ, Scott Henry. ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I'm there with raver_mania tonite. raver_mania said he'll have his Twilo 2000 shirt on... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Tonite is my last weekend living in DC and clubbing in DC - moving to Manhattan in December. raver_mania and I and a whole slew of folks will be tearing it up at Buzz and 5 tomorrow... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

There's a full blown add in this week's City Paper that advertises Oakenfold at 5. So, it's true and not unheard of. I saw Sandra Collins and Kimball Collins twice in the same night in Seattle. Once at a club before they actually did a rave later on that night... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I don't believe it. I really don't. But, if it happens, I am there. I mean, 5 is holding the Mango! events after Bad Boy Bill, right? So it is plausible... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Well, Dirtyslapper, Raver_Mania and I were indeed at Mango! Wednesday. But, I wasn't impresssed with PvD's performance. Lackluster at best. I mean, anyone can play records! I heard him @ Twilo in July. I didn't like it. Then,I heard him at Amnesia in Ibiza in September for the Cream Closing party. Fuckin' amazing. Now, I am going again in about 4 hours to Twilo. We'll see! BTW, raver_mania was way pissed Wednesday ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Young but fun crowd at Buzz. Let us know how you liked it. I believe it's the 2nd best club on the east coast (Twilo being on the top)... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

I'm there November 8th at Mango! as well November 10 @ Twilo. PvD twice in 3 days. Unheard of... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Definitely Sandra Collins. Saw her @ Eclipse in Seattle and she was amazing - really knows how to work a raver crowd dropping bomb after fuckin' bomb... ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Hey yo...who all went to see David Holmes @ Centrofly last Saturday? I went and was surprised to hear better than expected bumpin' tunes. Oh yeah, he dropped one of my favorites around 3AM but I have no clue what the name of the song/artist is even though I've heard it a million times. It's got a hard beat (like Timo Maas' "Ubik") and an amazing build up that makes the crowd go nuts. Anyone? ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

You can also try Velvet Nation @ Nation on Saturdays...definitely a mixed crowd. ------------------ Disk 1, Track 08 of 'Communicate'

Yes, Raver_Mania and I will DEFINITELY be at Mango! November 4 for PvD. That is, if he doesn't have a problem with his working permit

3 hours until Ms. Collins takes the helm!

I'm there...Sandra Collins!
