Anyone go to Radiate last night (Saturday) to see PVD at the DC Armory?? I didn't catch the whole 12 hour event, but I made sure i was there for PVD's set. DAMN!!!! His set that night was probably better any other set I've heard in Twilo! Yo, it was siiick!!! I thought his sequencing was great and I followed him all throughout his 3 hour set. He blew everyone away with his own style of progressive trance! He even played some old stuff like "energy flow." He played "another way" which never gets old, and he also threw in a bunch of kickass songs from Politics of Dancing. The last song he played was "For An Angel" which is my all time number 1 song!!!! Damn...excellent night! Did anyone else go see him! mike

Hey, Just wanted to know how this club was. A review would be helpful. It's on Columbus Ave, between 84th and 85th. My friends are having a B-Day party there, so i'm just curious to know how it was there. thanks. mike

where do you get your information? and are you talking about another pvd? cuz the only pvd i know is gonna be in Hong Kong this saturday.

10 million dollars... I would take care of my family first. Then I would open up a club where the whole atmosphere was centered around the music, the positive vibe, and the intense energy. No drugs, no alcohol, no velvet ropes. Just you, the people, and the music. No bullshit. I'd get a DJ who cares more about the crowd than about himself. Take everyone on a real trip...a natural high. That's my dream...experiencing electronic music in it's purest form.

first exposed to trance when my brother brought over a german compilation CD from Austria called "Rave Base Phase 9." It had Sonic Empire by Members of Mayday, Cafe Del Mar (Solar Stone remix) by Energy 52, and other stuff that never got popular in the US. But, I think I was listening to a bit of Westbam earlier on. This was back in 95. But as soon as I heard "For An Angel" at Twilo in 98, my life exploded! That's still my all time favorite song! mike

Ok, to all you music experts out there. Can you give me a solid definition of what progressive is? Is that even possible since it's constantly evolving? mike

Yo, I used to live in Quad 2, House 22 my freshman year. That was the best year for me! So much partying...it was easy to get away from the preceptors because they were all downstairs on the ground floor. Teklord...I used to live in Easton Ave. Apts too...805 and 915. Do you ever go to Harvest Moon on Tuesdays to check out the music? It's better than any of the Rutgers bars. I wanna go see Dave Seaman tonight, but I'll be in Philly with friends. Have fun...whoever goes there! mike

I am here...Busch Campus...5th year engineering Mike L.

Anyone have any news on Dave Seaman...Anthony Pappa...or Max Graham?

Hello everyone... I'm Mike from Long Island. 22...graduated from Rutgers...BS in engineering...but i'm currently unemployed. Love dance music...and i'm learning how to spin right now.

Mine would have to be Paul Van Dyk. Sure, he's gotten really popular over the years, but when he starts spinning everyone just goes right through the roof. His music is so intense and so full of melody. It hits me deep inside! He doesn't sell out either because he plays the stuff that he likes...not because it's popular. He's never compromised that. I give him much credit for that. PVD's also drug free, which rates very high in my book! Mike

i think Lori's foxy! Those Asian/white mixes are definitely the best. Coral is psycho and if I ever saw her, I'd just slap her and keep walking...the other girl is also psycho...she doesn't know when to shut up.

go to the village...around 4th street. there's always lots of young people hanging out. there's a cool bar in Soho called Bar 89...they got cool bathrooms. Check it out...it's on Mercer St. Have fun. Mike

Where is SUNDAZE II? and when is it?

Very interesting issue you brought up there... My problem with mainstream is that it attracts all the wanna-be's. Electronic music is becoming more popular now in the US so everyone hears and learns about it, then many of them jump on the bandwagon. They roll because "that's what you're supposed to do in clubs" and most of them aren't even there for the music. The music is the single most important thing that should attract the people. Of course there are loyal people who go there for that reason, and I give them much credit. But I don't appreciate people who do it because it's the "new cool thing to do." Another issue is playing trance music on radio stations like 92.7 WLIR. Any electronic music that is played on the radio has a big chance of becoming mainstream. Well, you can go both ways on this...For one, you can say that it's not a good idea to play this music on the air because it'll become played out and eventually be mainstream. But you can also say that it's a way for electronic music to reach more people. The outcome will be the same, but isn't that what producers like BT want? They want to bring electornic music to new listeners. Even though I may be split on certain issues, overall, I still don't like electronic music becoming mainstream. In my opinion, the music loses it's pureness. Unfortunatel, that's where certain guys like BT and Oakie are heading. And that's why electronic music is always evolving. Mike
