Dutch DJ extraordinaire Tiesto played this past Saturday at the Pacific Coliseum and yours truly was there for the showdown. Down to the point, I don’t think I could have asked for more… I had fun? Initially, I thought it would be “funny” to go down to the show, but what it came down to was just “fun”. Joke’s always on me, right?

My relationship with electronic music can be traced back to when I was 10 years old watching documentaries on the Prodigy and the UK rave scene. I wanted to be a part of the dance scene so bad but not only was I 10 and well-underaged but the scene seemed to have only existed in Europe. Over a decade later, here I am in my twenties, still missing out on the rave scene… although according to some (re: most), that was a good thing.

Confession: Tiesto is my first “trance” show.

Its been about a month an a half since we released C’est Tres Bon and I can’t even begin to describe how thankful I am for the support. I think we’ve reached around 500 downloads and I’ve managed to give out about 300 hard copies. Thanks to the Mix + The party that accompanied it, I’ve managed to meet some great people that have shown me nothing but love. Special Thanks to Anthony Needle Kineval who has brought me in a few times to play at his Friday night, which coincidentally I always wanted to play since its days at Tokyo Lounge(RIP). If you’re in Vancouver and want a gangster free, dance like its nobody’s bidnezz kinda vibe, then look no further than Get Up Get Down Fridays @ Shine in Gastown.
