Ledtranceguy Blog, LEDs, Trance and other EDM, and Festivals

Sunday night, the day after Transmission and the first after party that ended around sunrise (or 04:00 for me, because I'm a quitter, haha), there was another after party at Portal. Portal was a night club at the top of a building, with a very nice view, and a really decked out LED setup, it was very nicely done.

It went from 20:00 to 02:00, with more beautiful trance thanks to transmisison artists that stayed an extra day to play for us, thank you.

First time meeting Stoneface and Terminal, great set it was

Video Summary:

I had only done one Transmission so far, and it was Transmission Prague 2019 in O2 Arena. I was beyond Epic!, so that set the bar high because it literally was the best indoor show I had ever seen.
The location felt a bit weird, inside a convention center, and at first, I was going to go to the wrong room with another show:

wrong place :)

After walking around the building, got to the right place. The show started at 15:00, but since it was indoors, it was dark enough for me:

swee lineup

Security was fairly thorough, and very intent on taking your unopened water so that you were forced to buy theirs inside, which is annoying to say the least. And not just that, but they also used some stpuid fake money rechargeable wristband system and they kept all the unused credits at the end. I honestly find that petty and insulting :(

WTF, guys, please stop this fake money BS

Thankfully they were not worried about my outfit, and I was able to secure a special wristband, just in case :)

Another local thing I saw in Thailand was VIP is for peasants. They have Very VIP, and Super Very VIP :)

Glad to run into friends and make new ones as always:

thanks Marie for getting me to come here

Anthony was surprised to hear my voice on this side of the world :)

And the best for last, Blastoyz!

The show production value was very good for what was otherwise a big empty room. Not to the level of the O2 Arena hat was much better equipped for this, but still about as good as you can make a show within such a space.

lots of phones were watching the show :)

The show started with Jonny B, a local who played nice trance at all the events I went to:

Daxon was next, I met him at Untold, and he did great for both shows:

Next Xijaro and Pitch played another great set with lovely remixes:

Stoneface & Terminal came next:

Cosmic Gate also did a nice set, different from their usual one:

After that, we got Ferry Corsten as SystemF, a great trip back in memory lane:

Marlo Tech Energy was a fun set, zero fucks given, and nice back and forth journey between Trance and Techno:

look at all the phones :)

did we have enough lasers? :)

nice fan club :)

After that, was Will Atkinson:

going to the front was challenging, but went from time to time

And saving the best for last, Blastoyz got to finish the show, just last transmission Prague, and we got to enjoy his high energy beats and triplets. So much fun as always:

And that was it, 9 hours, 15:00 to 00:00, lots of fun again.

Should you go? Would I go Back?

Back to transmission:

Conclusion

Getting to Amnesia without public transport was a bit challenging, and the best way was to pay overpriced taxis that were negotiating very inflated set prices if you wanted to get out that night. Oh well.

With "Amnesia", I was thinking about the Ibiza club I had seen, but it really only had the name. It was a pretty packed small club on mutiple levels, including levels behind a "don't go there" door :)
Despite the packed rooms, we had good trance, good vibes and good fun :)

Video Summary:

Space Plus is a big club in at the top of a shopping mall seemingly in the middle of nowhere. I was very impressed by the size and facilities. By the time I arrived, it was kind of full already, but I guess thanks to my LED outfit I lugged all the way there, they nicely let me in.

happy to be in

Definitely different, including the levels of VIP, Super VIP, and Super Very Very IP :) You could even get your name on the main screen:

SVIP tables got cakes, visits from an LED Dragon, and more :)

Soon before I arrived was time for Cosmic Gate:

I was ready, of course :)

I even had a nice BD girl who gave me a piece of cake :)

lots of partying going on

Don't ask :)

Then, Jonnie B took over and played some nice trance:

And it ended around 01:30, nice warmup for transmission the next day:

Video Summary:

haha, nice boots :)

It was nice to run into a few friends:

Then, night came, which is my time to shine :)

Unfortunately, likely due to sound restrictions, the festival has to end at 20:00, so it was only one hour of darkness, but still better than none :)

Quick video:

Good time was had, looking forward to a future one.

We had a quick meetup after How Weird Street Faire at 20:00, to chat until it was time to head out to Midway:

Midway opened at 22:00, and we got to enjoy four anjunabeats DJs:

Glad to run into friends, as always:

Alpha9 closed the night with some great trance

obligatory picture :)
