i'm staying at the palms with my gf for memorial day...haven't stayed there before, but it def looks nice. its a bit north (30th and collins) of the craziness that will be going down lower on sobe...but the pool and quality of rooms should make up for the location.

not a fan of this song either....i think its getting played by Tong though because Louie Vega gave it his blessing....

Pete tong played it on this week's essential selection - its the very last song on the mix. Dibiza really is a masterpiece....i get chills when i hear it...bring the drums back! http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/petetong/

hahahah... i saw villalobos last year at cocoon...miss kittin + the hacker in the main room - def one of the most unique club nights i've experienced....crowd was freakish, music was minimal techno...it was pretty refreshing actually as opposed to the Cream, Armada, foam party nonsense that usually goes on at Amnesia....

had a great time...danced my ass off from 12 - 8am. miss 9 opened w/a nice proggy buildup set. DD came on around 1:30 (forget who started, ali or sharam). not the most amazing set, but very solid, especially after 5-6 am. some tracks i remember- madonna - hung up chab - closer to me spin spin sugar witch doctor (dammit its been a while since i heard this) billie jean dreams (the DD mix of stevie nicks) i thought i heard Dibiza, but i could be wrong...sharam was dropping some nasty tribal around 7 am...with hints of Elements... i hated their mix of "Party all the time" though - they played it a few times...yes, the Eddie Murphy song...voted by VH1 as one of the most awesomely bad songs of all time...haha crowd was ok...usual crobar mix of wildlife....after 4-5 there was plenty of room to dance...fun night overall

thehype, i couldnt agree w/you more. i'd say 75% of the clubs/events i go to now are house/tech/tribal as opposed to trance...but i would go to see Ferry any day of the week...he brings an energy with him that few can match...and he plays every set as if it were his last...long live Ferry!!!

cox absolutely killed it last night...got there around 10:30 when it opened...opening dj was really good (was that loco dice?)...when cox came on around 12, the place was jumping...it was never too crowded throughout the night, there was always room to dance and i thought the crowd was very good for a change....p diddy made his cameo somewhere in the middle of the night, getting on stage w/cox....i'm glad he didnt try to get on the mike...cox was workin it w/his nasty blend of hard techno and tribal..my ears are still ringing cause i was dumb and spent the night in front of a speaker, lol...highlight of my night was hearing "are you a freak" - only other time i've heard that is from deep dish in ibiza....that had crobar going bananas....i'm still in awe at what cox did to crobar last night..proving once again why he's one of the best goddamn dj's in the world, bar none. i left around 6, when it started turning into Evolve...my body could take no more...good seeing alan and digitalextacy....Cox needs to get a residency here!!!! i give last night a 10/10

i'd like to see sandy rivera, martin solveig, & satoshi...

if i had the $$, i'd be happy to blow the $200+ for bottle service...unfortunately i dont so i'll be joining the masses on the floor...better get there early, its gonna be plain ugly after 1 or so...

i disagree. i saw him on the mainstage at ultra ny (on my way to the bathrooms), and he was playing the same set as he was in 2001. the perfecto crew apparently hasnt even changed the visuals...oakie is a tired act....

thats a pretty horrible story....i've read some interviews w/her and knew she was weird as hell, but not just a total ungrateful bitch....i've only seen her once, earlier this summer at amnesia in ibiza doing live PA with the Hacker....i've gotta admit it was a great, unique set but she didnt seem into the crowd at all.....

i'll be spending most of my time in the Be Yourself tent...looking forward to Morillo and Timo's sets as well... www.myspace.com/fratpat
