Hernan Catteneo @ Forum de beyrouth & After Party @ X-OM

[hani]

wooooooooot what a night!
i ve been waiting for this amazing moment to come months ago!
and finally yesterday i witnessed one of the most outrageous nights ever!
AS DANNYB PROMISED:U WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED....AND I GUESS NO ONE WAS!
i had an idea about the setup, it was really well organized and built!
i simple loved the lightings and the sound system for the regular!(ur right about the vip section). what really was good is the placement if the VIP since it was near th regular. unlike deep dish which regular appeared like a slave in front of the VIP!
3anjad chapeau bas for this successful event! as u said , dannyb took each n every critic into consideration!

what about the BAR!!?!??!!? wowwwwwwwwwww fucking aweosme bar!a 10 meters bar where u dt have to wait ages to get ur drink!
as for the prices, i guess most of u noticed the ticket price and the 20% card from now on!

goodbye to the monopoly...there s not only mix fm and baccardi:)!

last night i really liked a word marquis told me :
it s nice to see THERZ, LEBravers and beirutnightlife all together united for the same purpose!!

my review is short simply because u guyz witnessed everything, and words are insufficient to describe!

yalla expect a good surprise at max graham and tall paul:)!
cheerz people!it was nice raving with u THerzz!too bad some friends couldn t make it!
oh sorry i couldn t dance , but i was freaking tired that day:P!lol

R-E-S-P-E-C-T dannyB
Everything has been said, so im not gonna repeat anything!!

Just want to stress out the fact that DannyB REALLY took the time to read our comments about past gigs. I mean everytime i looked at something i was like "shit, nice... we talked abt that on TH once, and here it is" !!!

Thanx a lot!! I think the main thing promoters should work on is to improve their gigs according to what us, the clubbers, like/dislike... And i think that by reading TH reviews (and most certainly other reviews on other forums), dannyB and RadioOne just did that!

And waw... when i saw the smoke machines i was like "yaret 7adan men mixFM hon tay shouf kif lezem yi kouno smoke machines" hehe...

Yalla rave on guys! it was great seeing you all there!! I'm eagerly waiting for Cox, K&P and MarcoV!! WOW... 3 gigs in 8 days (and finally some trance after a long stretch of house gigs)!!! amaaaaazing!!! Hope to c u all there!!!

[wael]

respect danny B! that was a sick event!! simply i loved it!! that was a gr8 setup! loved the stage, lighting,sound system! loved the bar very creative!
i arrived at 11 pm cesar k was playing!! the guy is gr8!!amazing

when hernan took the decks i was expecting a progressive set!
the intro was "WEIRD" !
but track after track the crowd was getting crazier!

congrats dannyB!! and i expect all events will be this good !!!
c u guyss at tall paul and max graham!!!

[Trancistor]

[psychogenesis]

I HATE HERNAN!! My feet are still hurting because of him !! nahhh, love the guy!! i was up and down, in and out, everywhere on the dance floor dancing like crazy, jumping like a monkey! Loved the music, loved the crowd, and most of all loved being with TH'rs !! Tranced, i still beleive ur sweetheart looks like a tanjara !! Suha, great meeting you! Mido, way to go brother, finally got ur kiss ( u know what i'm talking about), Shy--Ism
girl, u rock !! Cynthia, when a stranger calls !! hehehehe ! MOUDYYYYY, khalas ma ele jledtak ma kell yom bchoufak, Poizon tranciologie khaled as always dancing like he droped something on the floor, hope u find it one day, although i helped look for it a bit at hernan!! LZA, still waiting for those pics of urs, i know u got plenty of them !! Reemze, Trancexual, wael, who else who else, ohhh dolphina, everyone, was great sharing that night with you! I still think it was a bad idea going to OM for the after party, my place would've been much better, at least if you drop something u can always pick it up! ( If you know what i mean, hehe) Yalla, see you at carl cox guys! can't wait ! RESPECT

i just remembered one thing about this night (after looking at the pic of my 11 yr-old brother)

WHAT HAPPENED TO ID-ING PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?!?!
ok , dont id ..... but i there were kids that were 12 YRs old (if not younger)dancing at the platforms !! what is this !!!! sorry , but any idiot can notice that this is no place for kids that age to be at !
i was talking to a friend last night and he was telling me all about the tight security outside ( i didnt notice this cuz i went in VIP ) ...
so to think with all this tight security youd actually go in and not find a single kid! ( i wish the problem is underage ... its the underage of the underage !!!)

seen this problem at quite a few events now ..... mainly Deep Dish and Hernan .... im totally looking forward to K&P (no access is granted to people below 18 )

Ceasar K : was really looking forward to meeting you , the guys have told me so much about you ( all +ve ) .... we actually left later on and stayed in the regular section ....
i really wanted to be there for your whole set ... next time for sure!!

EDIT:
ok i keep on remembering things about this night ....
one more point ( till now..)

what was up with the visuals?
very cheapy-ish ... if i put the visuals i have from my Windows' media player in a nice and funky order it would have been WAYYYYYYY better than what i saw that night !
other than that ^ what was worse was the advertizing ...
putting aside the whole 50 cent issue ( bleh , so not in the mood of talking about 'it' ) i understand that Danny B must and should advertise for its future events .... but it was just toooooo much ... a random announcment on the screens and with the MILLIONS of flyers outside is moreeeeeeee than enough !
then comes another point : this series of logos passing after each other was just " ?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!?! " " HUH" ... its like your watching a show ( lol on LBC) and they will be like we will be back after the "break" and then you have "THIS SHOW HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY ...."
^^^ well thats what was happening at Hernan!! a 'break' from the "visuals" so you can see the "brought to you by's " !!!!!
(i know i know both TH and LR's logos were in there .. which was nice but i expected both of the logos to 'pass' in a more artistic way--- in a more 'smooth' way and not like that ---- in a "brought to you by " way! )

[Path;)s !]

eh i dont like the add's concept in a rave .. visual are there for decoration, for the EM trip not for adds

[TRANCED]

Wat a night!!
Cattaneo's event = \0/!

The moment i arrived into the forum, my first impression was :WOW!
You cannot but just love the colors and the lazer stuff in there. So impressive! You guys mentioned everything that was so amazing there. Bar, nice bartenders, nice security, etc. I am so glad no one picked on me when i wanted a redbull drink ONLY.

The VIP section was kinda dull, the regular section was CRAZY!!!!
People couldnt stop jumping. I was feeling SO tired, yet i couldnt stop dancing! One would not realize that he/she was dancing cuz the music just made the bodies move!!
THer'z rocked as usual; and BOY! Can the TH girls dance!!!!

Hernan was soo friendly!! We went and stood right at the front, and he was always smiling and pointing his finger to one in the crowd! (ME ONCE!! ) He was also smiling to us to take his pics! His personality is just awesome! I loved the guy. His blue eyes could be seen 100 miles away!!

One last thing no one mentioned! BATHROOMS!
I so like being in forum or biel just for the sake of bathrooms! Warehouse's sucked but in forum, there plenty and they were CLEAN!

We went to the after party in OM with moudy, rabz, and mido!
It was nice at first, but i was feeling dead tired and wanted to go home!
AND THEN!!
Gunther and stamina took over!
My eyes were wide open and i was dancing like crazy!
Esraa literally drag me by pulling my hair out at 7:00 cuz I DIDNT WANNA GO HOME! The music is amazing and just mind blowing! If i could stay till 10, i definitely would've!
And guntherrr!! I luv ya! (shut up rabz)

All in all, a great night, one of the greatest i've been to in a while!
See ya all soon (i.e NEXT WEEK!!!!!)

this is my second visit to trancehits and believe me i am really shocked.
i agree with you that Danny b is a great guy, and that's nice he brought hernan to lebanon, but this doesn't mean that is guy of the decade.
according to what i saw, the sound, light, stage,everything is nothing like you all guys discribed, some of u really r exagerating, ya3ne come on, the event didn't cost much and is really really ordinary,even the vip area doesn't feel like ur in a vip, sound didn't like it, light nothing comapre to what u guys wrote.
hernan set chapeau bas, amazing

don't know whay u felt offended mr rabz.ur reply seems so close to what's happening in the lebanese political scene nowadays.why no one in this country can accept the other's opinion and say the truth as it is.
first what imported stage, and what small fortune ur talking about? plz man be real.
to talk honestly i think it was a big defeat for danny b cus with 1 moth campaign in radio, tv, flyers and posters this without forgetting the sms thing maximum 1600 came to the event.
this without forgetting the people invited to the gig, maybe like you mr rabz.
hernan really deserves better, haram, they distroyed his image.
plz accept my critisism cus the only thing that i am concerned of is the lebanese clubbing scene. u can see hernana's pic everywhere in lebanon it's like he is running for presidency.
