rcrespo Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 Cool venue .. horrid parking situation. I heard some people parked at space and then took a cab to the venue. I had a good time though. Uberzone rocked it hard in 'Japan' , Sandra Collins was a pleasant surprise. Fast forward to 4:45am .. Tall Paul is on in 'Hawaii' and I hear some familar nirvana lyrics .. someone has sampled lithium .. isn't anything sacred anymore? Regardless after that Stryke came on and tore up the grass floor. He had everyone moving and groving. The peak had to have been that stepback remix by smith and selway. Smoke Machine also went down in a storm .. Great sounding techno at 530am .. what a great way to end the night.Nice to see the CP Mafia supporting. Beatfriek , Koky , Sobeton and meeting Stephanie . See you all for my birthday on 12/6 @ Space. Oh yeah Stryke is playing that night too DEEP DOWN IN MIAMI,Ramon C.areyourestricted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobeton Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 tired as hell from Picotto, I really had no intention of doing anything last night. however thanks to my partners in crime Koky and Beatfreak, I was persuaded into going to Global Gathering. my first impression upon walking in, was this is going to be a teeny bobber fest. but I was pleasantly surprised. the event was well organized, the staff where very polite, and the venue was off da chain. the place is freaking huge. !! the peeps that where there, basically ripped it on the dancefloor. no standing around like you see at some clubs, just people dancing there ass off; which is what it's all about. the talent was tight, the acts that stood out for me where Sandra Collins, Spacemen, Edgar V., and Stryke. let me just say a little something about Stryke, this the first time I have heard him in years. the man simply blew me out of the water; he is like a freaking technician on the decks. coming in and out of songs with ease. I am not a big fan of the song “smoke machineâ€, but he dropped a version which was so sick. I was like jeeez! all I can say is I’m looking forward, to this Friday at Space with Edgar V. and Stryke. these guys bring it, so let’s go out and show them some support this Friday…big ups to my crew Koky, Greg, Steffy, Anthony, Leo, and Mike. nice to also meet rcrespo and fatony..

rcrespo Posted December 1 Author Report Share Posted December 1 Koma and Bones on remix duties of that Smoke Machine track. Its on the "We Are Skint' Sampler on 12" and We Are Skint 2CD on Skint Recordngs .. Grooveman should have it just ask. That bassline is devastating. Quite looking forward to Friday as its my birthday and Greg is providing the soundtrack to the festitivities. Hope to see you all supporting!DEEP DOWN IN MIAMI?Ramon C.areyourestricted?

Guest saleen351 Posted December 1 Report Share Posted December 1 the nirvanva track is spacejunk, there is some confusion as to if there is a new mix, i however don't know of any new mixes, track is probably 3 months old at least, not sure why lots of people are now starting to talk about it, maybe there is a new mix.. i'll look into it.. though i'm not a big fan of the track..

rcrespo Posted December 1 Author Report Share Posted December 1 i thought spacejunk was the one that sampled Be Yourself by Celeda.I might be wrong .. intresting sample choice .. no where near as cool as the original.DEEP DOWN IN MIAMI,Ramon C.areyourestricted?

pod Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 I don't like the candy style, but I'm not opposed to them on that principle. What I'm opposed to is the tendency of them to be very irritating, i.e. they start waving lights in your face without asking, or worse yet, they contribute to battlefield syndrome and just pass out all over the place...whether it happened at GG or not, I don't know (I wasn't there, I had my party to tend to... ), but you get my point.

Dan just face it , you're an old fart & a scrooge:laugh: but no seriously , they were great & were fun to watch ... just young kids having a great time .. when my kid is older i think id rather him be a little candy raver that a little thug wannabe. now THAT is annoying as hell !! i rather him play with lights than guns & listening to hip hop anyday ! im just saying they are good kids & not looking for trouble. just a good time .. & if they wave lights or not , who cares ? they are just being friendly imo.

I agree ! I was never terrorized by a waving light, glowstick; or a candy necklace. these kids for the most part where well behaved, full of energy, and where ripping it up dancing all over the place. I would like to see a lot more of that in nightclubs; rather having people stand around like a bunch of lost souls. which is so often the case at nightclubs. feel the music and dance !

happyface Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 well lets see, after sleeping all saturday,recovering from picottos night,i woke up (missed the hurricanes game) and decided to go to the global gathering. got there around 1 am after looking for parking for awhile didnt know wether to trust it where i was leaving it,after i parked was,i making the line in the wrong place for like an hour.finally got in and didnt know where to head to.after locating some of the cp members,i was chiling with them listening to sandra collins,which really had a great set,it really was intresting seeing a female behind the decks.then saw george acosta who was okay.the best set i saw i would have to go with edgars set really tore it up had eveybody dancing,had people ask me who was that dj? so i let them know and where they can see him spin again on friday @ space. didnt get to see strykes set,was tired as hell but will on next friday.it was great night nice to see different crowd mixed up really had no problems and didnt see any either.its true thre was alot of young people but it didnt really bother me,its not like we party with them every weekend or event. special shot outs to the cp peeps steffy,my bro,tony,beatfreak,str8upcore,etc....btw just bought the new judge jules cd set tried and tested,real good so far.....

stryke303 Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 thank you guys for the kind words. you guys always make a brother blush... i had a great time, even with the technical difficulties. could barely mix on that stage. one of the needles decided to die on me (good thing i brought backups). mad thanks to tony, my PA, who is making my life much easier these days! hope to see you all on friday @ space.paz,stryke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat0ny Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Thanks b : PHad alot of fun at this thing. Didnt see anyone from the board on sat.. but i know you guys where out there. It was pulled off very well id say. Uberzone. definatly kicked ass. i had no idea it was one guy. got some nice pictures. All in all it was great. even though at the begining i had some bad feelings about it ie: 30min into showtime there was a kid with an Epileptic attack in the Africa (jungle/ dnb) room. i went to get the ems and they took his ass away.. blood shooting out his mouth and shit. it was pritty fucked up.. but the crowd handled it well. and whoever was MC'ing at the time did a great job of controlling everyone. The staff was very nice. From the DAK guys.. To the bartenders (Grrrrwll) to the soundsystem guys (for a badass rig). To the talent. it was nice to see a little local support on the roster allong with some nice big names. Big ups to you guys that went out to support the locals. About the candy kids and stuff. Its nice to see people going out (period) lately it seems that if your not a Sasha n digweed.. or a jimmy van M or a mauro piccotto no one goes to see your ass. Its cool to see people dancing and appreciating music for what it is.. wether it be house or techno or even jungle. I think its a step in the right direction. Eventually alot of these kids are gonna loose the glowsticks and the beads. and just enjoy the scene for the sake of Music. so lets not give them too much shit even though its... reeeeally easy to. After all .. alot of them keep this industry movingmy 2 cents. fatt0ny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with koky, she definetly threw down a quality set! I would go see her again anytime, hell of alot better than f*ckin Acosta with his 1 1/2 bullshit set.Anyway, I had a great time. Edgar was definetly the highlight with Marco V Echoes remix and Drunk in Chicago (I'll never get sick of that tune!) Stryke was very impressive, can't wait to see him tear up space Friday, very cool guy too! Venue had a great setup, two stages outside, two inside, plenty of room to run around and not too crowded at all.I usually can't stand the candy ravers but I have to admit they didnt bother me at all, actually a few of them were the best dancers I've ever seen!See you all Friday for Armin/Edgar/Stryke:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corinto Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 I think this has been the best party I've been to since Ultra!!The set-up was incredible....specially the Japan stage with the light, it was great....The crowd was pretty mixed imo...not as many candykids as i had expected...dont have a problem with them anyway...I got there around 11:30, waited in line like for an hour...I got in time to see Jimmy Van M hit the decks, awesome....Then I went to the jungle room to see DJ RAP...great...Like many of you think, SANDRA COLLINS KICKED ASS!!! The begginning of her set was definitely off the fucking hook...After that i was just wandering around...Then came Spacemen which was AWESOME!!! hadn't seen them since ultra 3....the show was mindblowin.Loved the robo-martian type of thing walking around the audience...Then off to Hawaii, saw Acosta, I don't like his style but he was definitely having that place jumping, all those people were crazy with this guy...great energy...Then... STRYKE.....all i have to say is WOW!King of "classy" mixes imo.Nobody even cared about the speaker problem, that would be being ungrateful because the energy this guy builded up was unstoppable, my legs were killing me at the time and i just wouldn't stop dancing...this DJ is definitely my favorite at this moment, I'm eager for this friday @SPACE...Thanks to the organizers of this event, I hope more rave-like events like this will be held in the near future..Peace.

quest4sunrise Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 Ok, I have finally gotten around to my review. The neighborhood was shady as all hell and I remember just praying that when I left my car, I would not return and see it sitting on concrete blocks. So, me and Anthony get in and they are playing hip hop. Uck, but they ended soom and then we saw Arturo, Jay, Fredz, and the crew so we hang out and catch Jimmy Van M. I personally dont give two shits about him and now I don't give three shits! Boooooring!! How anyone could subject themselves to a night of that is beyond me. Then we saw Stef, Tony, and that crew so I knew I would be splitting my time between groups. I saw AK1200 a little before Jimmy Van Horsecrap and he is a badass. I have always loved him, he is the king of NC, but his MC sucked ass so I left. Then Sandra Collins came on and she started slow, but she progressed and turned out a good set. I have seen her before and she is good, but I bit robot-ish (no interaction, doesn't acknowledge crowd). I saw a little of DJ Rap too and she is still a FOXXX. Sexiest DJ alive? I think so. However she had the same MC, so I left shortly after he opened his mouth. I did run into a guy I used to party with back in NC though, what a small world! Then Acosta came on, despite what anyone says, I like him and he did pretty well. Pulled a huge crowd too. After that we caught the end of the Spacemen set and they are crazy. They do a love show dressed in alien suits and they'll have a dancing alien and one that is out in the crowd, scaring the SHIT out of the e-tards, LOL. I was sober all night, but I can see they would be insane, shall we say in another state-of-mind? Then it was Edgar time. Banging set, but only lasted an hour. I never saw Arturo go as crazy as he did when Sunburn came on. I cant even imagine how he reacts at a packed PvD show! KEEP YOUR DISTANCE! You are liable to get trounced upon! All in all a great night! It really flew by since we were not confined to one area. There were alot of e-tards sitting in the middle of the dancefloor and that was annoying, but I kinda expected that. There was this one guy though, GeeeeeSH!! He was a dark-toned black guy and he had his shirt off and he was laying down in the middle of the crowd. I mention his skin color as relevent because it was, obviously, dark out and no one could see him so he kept getting stepped on. It was funny because someone would would step or jump on him and he'd react and then lay right back down. It was crazy. Well, that was my time... now on to ARMIN!!!!!!!!!!
