What a massive night back to back headliners, awesome crowd, surrounded by great URTZ members, and a bunch of Alcohol equals to a GREAT TIME!!!
I got to the club around 11:30pm and Taj had the crowd rocking with a bunch of oldies remixed with housey/electro beat. The crowd which had the main room packed was eating it up and dancing the whole set. This energetic set from Taj paved the way for John O’Callaghan to come on and completely take over.
John started his set with Shakedown and we all went crazy, well actually Evan and I went crazy ha-ha. That was followed by Andy Moor’s Different Faces. I was jumping, dancing and screaming the whole time, I actually also partook on a washing machine dance, now I understand why this has become the biggest most popular dance around USA clubs hahaha!!
(Sample Washing machine Picture **Not actual Picture, just sample** )
Anyway I was in shock how much energy John’s set had from start to end I was in heaven when he dropped (Claudia Cazacu feat Audrey Gallagher - Free Fallin). The style that John O’Callaghan played reminded me of Paul van Dyk. He actually did drop PvD’s track “Home”, I unfortunately was busy getting more drinks trying to beat the 2am last call deadline. But I did manage to bust a move while waiting. All that I can say is WOW John O’Callaghan definitely did not disappoint, he came, he played and he destroyed the dance floor. His set came to end with a chilled remix version of big sky. This guy is not to be missed!!
Mr. Durand came on and completely grabbed the attention of everyone in the club by dropping Billy Jean, Mixed with Madagascar Mixed with another track that I can’t ID. The man knows how to mix he kept sampling all types of tracks, he kept using all 3 CDJ’s the whole night. His set was good but I think that John O’Callaghan would have been a better fit for this slot and Durand on the earlier slot. But not to take away nothing from Durand’s set. The man is amazing and this being his first time in the USA, I see him blowing up and being booked frequently in the USA and hopefully the bay area. He was nice enough to hang out after his set and take a few pictures with some of us.
The night ended with another energetic trance set from Taj which was the perfect way to end the night. The club was still packed when we left around 5:30am. Awesome job Taj! It was a great booking these two headliner event at 1015 on one night.
Christina why did you not show up?? We had a great time, would had been good to see you and Lulu there!
*sigh* i really wanted to go. but i had prior obligations. I could have gone afterwards but I was pretty beat and lazy to drive and fight traffic and parking and crazy bums in SF- oh and DUI checkpoints.
Did Richard Durand drop his remix of Madagascar ? I was sad when Sander didn't spin it at EDC :(
Well .. JoC will be at MM so I'll see him then ...

Yes he dropped Madagacar mixed with Blurr - Song 2.
The washing machine dance, is a dance in which you make movements like if you where inside a washing machine, back and forth.. I think Jun got washed in with the group of ladies getting everyone involved..
Yeah, I remembered I was washed and I was still filthy and dirty as hell after the cycle.
IIRC, I was kinda stumbled back to you guys, then there was this aunt grabbing my arm throw me into it.. and thing was just kicking it in my head... everything after, it was a blur...
All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT WITH MY URTZ FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!! JOC WAS ""PERFECT""!!!!!!!!! DURAND WAS ""AMAZING""!!!!! Eileen and I had the FUCKING TIME OF OUR LIVES!!!!!!! JOC's set was sooo filled with energy it was unexplainable!!!!! Richard Durand played a spectacular set!!!! I have much respect for both of them now that i saw them for the first time live!!!! I know I can speak for the rest of the URTZ gang by saying this was a night to be remembered!!! The tracks were superb and the mixing was flawless, but most of all the comradery was supreme!!!!!! I can talk about this night forever, but I will leave it short and concise.......JOC and DURAND ROCKED THE FUCKING HOUSE!!!!!!!! .......WHAT MADE IT A NIGHT TO REMEMBER WAS THE FACT THAT URTZ PARTIED UNTIL THE WHEELS FELL OFF!!!!!! I THANK ALL OF MY URTZ FRIENDS FOR THIS!!!!!!!! LETS KEEP TRANCIN' IT UP!!!!!!!!!
