First off- the club (Roxy) is gorgeous, has a nice ventilation system for fresh air, and a great soundsystem. Second off, they have some serious security- not so polite you know...(Some friends were kicked out by security- not sure why...)
I believe the opening set was Raja. I recall some salsa in the mix with some more club-ish sort of opening trance- Beginning of the party music- which it was. He spun an interesting and eclectic set featuring some new music that has that posford-ish touch...they must have been busy those two...(Unlike most music folks, Raja was fully out on the dancefloor having it after his set...)Then I believe that Yaniv (cosmophilia) was next. The bpm and intensity began to build-He played quite a wicked set of full-on, which we were hungry for...Most of the crowd was fully here now- A pretty big crowd too I would say. By the time Logic Bomb came on, the house was rocking. Logic Bomb's music seemed almost soothing and glassy in comparison with some of the earlier night music. They played a tight live set- sounding every bit as clean as their album. Dimitri then took it home (my favorite set of the party)- sending us off on one bouncy fractal or another until the security gaurds kicked us all out and it was done.

Great sound, Great decor- make that INCREDIBLE decor- some of Jamin's handiwork in full effect. Shitty security, but whaddya expect?
