Marc's Public Blog - Clubbing and Trance

We started with a Halloween TFSF Party at Jonny Atom's place, very nice party:

We got ourselves a new Paris Hilton :)

And if Paris Hilton can do it, so can I :) This was extra fun because in all these years, I had acually never used any DJ equipment. I know by osmosis the general concepts though, so by just looking at the decks and playing with buttons, I was able to link them so that the 2nd deck could read from the USB stick in the first deck.
From there, I was able to select tracks and start playing. I'm sure my transitions were not the best ones in DJ history, haha, and I managed to get enough things working that I was able to DJ and transition from track to track. Autosync helped of course :)

We then went to Temple in SF and arrived just before it opened, which was good because the line became huge before long. Saturday was a very busy night for all the clubs. Nice club, it was still filling up when I arrived, but cool to have a look:

social media queen hard at work ;)

From there, I went back to my car and headed over to Audio 10mn away, as I wanted to attend Dave Dresden's OTC party at Audio. Dave gave us a musical journey across genres to a room that got packed before long:

unexpected ran into Natasha whom I hadn't seen in quite a while, what are the odds?

Eric and radiant Karin Bash (check out the eye colors)

my other friends were all over SF, parties everywhere. Alvin made it though

Dave went on his 4H journey that we all got to enjoy until 02:00:

Here is a pretty good video summary of some of his tracks:

And before long, it was time to leave and go to respective after parties. Mine didn't suck :)

everyone had the 'where to go next' look :)

Given that it was mostly during the day, I took my brighter LED outfit, which worked well. Glad to have run into a bunch of friends:

Lots of other people with fun costumes:

randomly ran into Spencer Brown who actually recognized me as I passed by :)

Like I said, lots of stages and fun:

Went to the temple rooftop:

I then switched to my better LED costume for the night:

And we then went to the after party at DNA Lounge to see more psytrance and Khromata:

I had a surprise for Eileen

Video summary:

The side room also had good music, 2 for the price of 1:

Of course, seeing friends is a good part of the fun, too:

Ferry Corsten was not amused :)

And after a 5.5h set, Markus came to greet the crowd:

Video Summary:

Thank you everyone, lots of fun as always.

working hard, or hardly working? :)

Then came time for Giuseppe:

Chris took a short break and went back to work to close the night :)

Great to see friends again:

dude, whatever you were doing, you're so busted :)

thanks everyone, see you next time
