Ok, so I like electronic dance music, more specifically Trance. When I started in the 1990's, the US was a bit behind in that department.
Still, with San Francisco and San Jose nearby, I've had some opportunities to see some great EDM/Trance DJs. Back in the early 2000's, they sadly played club music in the US that was nowhere close to the hits they had composed and were known for, but over the years, as Trance started becoming more popular, those DJs finally started playing their good tunes in the US too, and maybe from 2004 on, it's only been getting better.
Popsicle Halloween 2004 was really the beginning of great music parties in the San Francisco Area, and thankfully things have gotten even better since then

As a matter of fact, after another 10 years (2015 and beyond) the good news is that Trance has grown quite a following in the US, and places like the SF Bay Area, and while Trance has been declared dead a few times in the last 10 years, it's still going strong here.
Trance Family SF is definitely strong in the area, we've been getting more big trance parties every year, including many top DJs that come visit us what feels like every other week now (as of 2018-2019), and through those events, I made many friends in Trance Family SF. Thanks to you all.

Over those years, I got the chance to meet a few of my favourite DJs, including Armin more than once, and my last hobby has been to work on lights for my shirt and pants (version 3) and (version 4)

2021/12/03 ATB at Yolo SF

π 2021-12-03 01:01 in Clubbing

It had been 2.5 years since we got to see ATB in San Francisco pre-covid, so glad to have him back, this time at Yolo in SF. As usual, ATB was full of energy and put on a great show!

I had not been to Yolo yet. I was a bit worried because it's related to Pure Nightclub in Sunnyvale, a very nice club, but with questionable policies like over the top searches and more importantly to me, a nonsensical policy of banning small handheld cameras. Looking online seems to show that they have relaxed those policies, so that's great news, thank you!
The lighting system at Yolo is definitely super cool, worth experiencing for sure:

The show was really good, he finished with playing ATB - 9PM 'till I come, the original mix for 1997, what a treat. And because everyone was having such a great time, he was even allowed to play an extra track past the deadline of 02:00, nice! Here is a video summary:

After the show was over, he was super nice as always and stayed with his fans to take pictures:

Thank you for coming ATB, it was a pleasure to have you again:
