I remember a great session with Kevin Saunderson and there were only like 10 of us. Anyways, have fun at Tomorrowland.
I knew there was a reason I liked you Geoff, Kevin is coming to amsterdam soon.

Hate to be a 'homer', but I think right now one simply cannot find a better city for dance music than amsterdam. Between ADE and the consistent (6 days a week) great club scene which attracts the absolute best underground talent, this is the place to be. Better than Berlin without the attitude!

The sets were amazing.... hardwell.... cascade... knife party... deadmaus back to back to back... thats just on 1 stage on one of the nights.
Different strokes, but it sounds too commercial for me. Next time, stay for WMC!

lol.... commercial.... okay dude.... whatever ya say.

see to us.... people who say that shit are the real posers.

it was cool before... but now that the scene is big and more ppl know about it.... those people think its lame.

its not cool enough for them anymore because everyone else is into it.

those are the posers.... i dont give a fuck what other ppl think, i go because i want to.

Ive been to ADE... NO COMPARISON to WMC (marco its called MMW now miami music week) you're gonna say a week in miami beach... with sun an d pool parties.... with all the best dj's in the world ... and a COLD time in AMS is better??

MUAHAHAHAHAHAH.... riiiiiight.

And LOL @ the drugs.... MIAMI - HELLO? you're gonna say AMS has better blow?

we get weed from cali nonstop... its just as good here as it is in AMS, minus the 25+ varieties all the time.

please dont even go there, i'll lose ANY shred of respect.

First off, you started this dick-sizing experiment. Ha ha, I bet you 'discovered' house music by listening to LCD Soundsystem in 2002 and you think that techno was invented in Berlin.

You make me laugh dude. The fact that you even believe there is something like the 'best DJ in the world' tells me you are some reader of DJ Mag. You are part of the corporate music push into EDM. Yesterday brittney, today Swedish House Mafia, tomorrow some other pre packed commercial shit. Mainstream, top 40 garbage.

Let me tell you, Tiesto, AVICII, Deadmaus, Guetta, Swedish house mafia and all that stuff is preprogrammed commercial shit on the level of Katy Perry.

Also not saying that it was better back in the day, because its great now. There are so many great labels, clubs, producers, etc putting out great music that does not shit on the legacy laid down by the goddfathers of house, techno and disco (all black guys from Chicago, Detroit or NYC by the way). But you are right, back in the day there weren't stadiums full of teenage girls and roid heads listening to some French loser remix tired r&d tunes, or some clown in a mouse suit push a few buttons.

Dance music comes from the underground. Every decade or so it get 'popular' then fizzles out for another trend, but the true fans stay true...in dirty nightclubs and warehouses, not some fucking faux rave thrown my a mega corporation in a stadium. ADE comes a hellava lost closer to a real dance music party because its held anything goes, real underground and held in some of the worlds best clubs (trouw, paradiso, etc) for music, not bottle service wank jobs.

As for drugs, if you party with blow, then I guess Miami is your place. Personally, if I am gonna imbibe, I would prefer to use the crazy pure MDMA, acid and damn good weed you can find in Amsterdam.

LOL... sorry bro you've got me pegged with someone else.

not sure how you can comment about WMC if you haven't been... FAR from "all bottle service". I've been to both WMC and ADE... ADE is real cool... but i'd prefer miami sunshine... pool parties... women in bikini's... thats just me. :-)

dude.. i'm prolly older than you. lol... i've been listening to dance stuff since I was in high school... we used to rave in the 90's bro.... UNDERGROUND.

in wharehouses.... starting at 4 am.... etc.

here in miami it was BREAKS....

ya its totally changed... prolly not for the best as the whole scene has gotten more commercial but whatever...

Please don’t play old man with me, I am in my 40s Oh, the first Ultra. Wasn’t that in 1999 or something. Man you are OLD-SKOOL.

Try 1988 when I first went to the Limelight in NYC, later the Paradox in Baltimore, founding member of the Sanctuary in DC, blah blah. Shit, I even went to one of David Mancuso’s loft parties. None of that makes my taste better than yours, but you could not pay me to watch that commercial garbage with 60,000 people and security on your ass all night.

I seriously doubt you ‘did’ ADE. Did you see Innervisions at Trouw? Black Coffee at Woo? The lineup for ADE blows away anything at Ultra, at least for a real fan of underground dance music. Plus, how my music actually comes out of Miami? If you add NL+BE, right NOW you have some of the most creative and popular jocks and producers in the the world, while the US produces clowns like Deadmaus.

As I said, house and techno were born from disco and the mean streets of NYC, DC, Philly, Chicago and Detroit. But the scene is deader than dead in America, as its 100% commercial. Next time you are around for ADE, keep away from the big parties and check the real shit. Europe is the source for dance music and a ton of it comes from Amsterdam.

As for sun, that’s cool, but in my opinion, the great parties happen INSIDE. No one talks about the Paradise beach party, it’s the Paradise Garage.

You should read a few books, starting with How a DJ saved my Life. Peace

BTW, if you love commercial music and stadium festivals, good for you. I hate when people judge the musical tastes of others. But,dont get it twisted, ultra is just another stadium show, way far from the roots of this thing we call house.

i'm 39 so not too far off... how would you know what I did with ADE? I went to a bunch of places (I was drinking etc)... heard some good music.... real good music.... totally different than being in miami sun... which is a cool change of pace for sure. good times.

been to some underground parties in AMS... from locals who go... some shit out in the woods.... some wharehouses.... super cool....

different strokes for different folks...

oh, I love this bit you said:

i hate when people judge musical tastes of others....

shit, isn't that what your last 2-3 posts were all about? lol

btw, good book... oldie, but good.
