Cosmic Gate @ Trinity

[MarQ]

utterly insane night. Great to finally get Nic to Seattle, & it was a pleasure to see Setefan again. I got to play with him twice at element as well as tonight, & this was by far the best of the three times. Great job with this booking, glad I could be a part of it.

What an unbelievable night! Thanks to everyone who made this party THE BEST BIRTHDAY I HAVE EVER HAD!!! It was truly an incredible experience to see Cosmic Gate in such an intimate venue, filled with friends I have known for years.

Thanks to USC events for getting the best DJ duo EVER to come to Seattle! Anthony, thanks for the birthday wishes :) You are the best! Mad props to Trinity and the awesome club manager, Guy! The atmosphere at Trinity is like NONE OTHER! Along with being a fantastic place to party, the staff is super kind and the sound is totally solid.

Every DJ there did a GREAT set! I think the energy in that place last night really pushed people to throw down the best records! I heard some stuff I have not heard in years and a ton of new cuts that will be with me forever.

Cosmic Gate owned! Those two have something that not many DJs have: finesse. Their set kept people dancing through their entire set.

Thanks again for everyone who made this party so memorable! I will always remember it. Much love for the Seattle scene!

Last night was definately one of the best I've had at Trinity! Nic & Bossi are probably the nicest djs out there. Very friendly and approachable to their fans!

They were doing pretty well. I would not say this is the best performance I have seen, but they had a pretty solid set. At the beggining they were playing some slower & weird stuff, but they picked it up in the second half.

The biggest surprice of the night- they kept on going after 2am!!! Amazing!!!

Here are some of the tracks they played:
1. Id
2. Escala – Children (Jerome Isma-Ae remix)
3. Id
4. Id
5. Cosmic Gate - Not Enough Time
6. Id
7. Id
8. Dash Berlin - Man On the Run (Nic Chagall Remix)
9. Id
10. Nic Chagall - This Moment
12. Rank 1 - Sympho
12. Armin Van Buuren Vs. Cosmic Gate - Fav Rain (Avb Mashup) -> THE TRACK OF THE NIGHT!
13. Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab - Lonely Girl
14. John O'Callaghan - Find Yourself (Cosmic Gate Remix)
15. Jochen Miller - Brace Yourself

I don't even know where to begin. This night is one for the all-time-best nights Trinity has ever hosted -- EVER! And to be a Thursday and FREE and FOUR outstanding DJs -- seriously mind boggling.

I guess I'll go chronologically:

MarQ popped the night's cherry and just came out swinging from the gate (no pun intended). I was a little worried he might play "farty-trance" or housey being the first DJ and all, but you can only imagine my glee and elation when I heard the first anthemic base-lines and the lasers were in full effect from the first notes. Right then I knew this was going to be an epic night to remember. :)

I think the last time I heard Aaron Simpson spin trance was in 2003 or so... Like a father waiting for his son to return home from years away at college, I couldn't have been more proud of him. He played exactly the right stuff only more maturely -- like the grown up version of the same style he played years ago. I took a moment to jab him a bit and asked him, "you have to admit it feels good to play to more than 50 people (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=DnB+Room)" ;) I really hope he's back to stay. The tag team with Sandman (Nathaniel) was also just an added bonus. I haven't seen Nate spin since Element/Level5 days *sniffle* They complimented each others tracks and blended seamlessly. Well done son. Well done.

Cosmic Gate was nothing less than spectacular. By this time of night, the main room was packed and the roof was officially raised. It was an impressive sight to say the least. The VIP was even opened -- a rarity on a Thursday but fully appreciated. These guys are synonymous with trance -- even if you didn't know them specifically, you've certainly heard them. Everyone plays their remixes, sort of like Gabriel & Dresden or Filo & Perry or any of the other top duo's out there. It was a little, um, well, let's just say, I REALLY WISH DJs didn't feel the need to drop it down when the energy is climaxing... They did something that IMHO is one step above pulling the faders down before starting their set -- they started with slow tracks and built it back up again. WHY? You are handed a red hot crowd and the only solution if you ask me is turn up the heat, make it white fucking hot and set the roof on fire -- you know we don't need no water, let that muther fucker burn!!! ;) But aside from that, they were amazing and as mentioned previously, they played well past 2am.

If this all wasn't good enough, the downstairs bar had $1 shots of what I can only describe as the nectar of the God's squeezed directly from Aphrodite's own tit. Simply delicious! I lost track of how many I had, but I can tell you my bar tab was over $85 !!! (I'm not an alcoholic, I swear it, I can stop drinking anytime I want to)

Guy, Anthony and the rest responsible for this booking, I give you the Nod (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212974/quotes).
