Bassel Live @ Jalaa - 23/07/05 - Review

[bxtreme]

I'll keep this review short so that you can save your energy and read Dionysos' review of PVD! Anyways, yesterday was the first night a trance set has ever been played in Syria! I was introduced to the booth at 3AM, after a 10 minute break was forced since the police made a visit to the party, LOL! By the time the break was over, many people had already taken a seat and the dance floor was empty, and that really freaked me out! Anyway, I built up the atmosphere slowly and tried to give them a set full of energy. It took a while for the dancefloor to fill up, but i was happy to see around 30-40 people (out of 150-200) enjoying my music to the max. Playing for such a crowd made me realize that its a lot of hard work, and its gonna take years before trance will ever reach the position it reached in Lebanon. It was a good night, and the people who enjoyed my music thanked me a million times, and that really got me happy. I'm not sure if I will ever dj for such a crowd again, but who knows! I wouldn't mind gathering the 30-40 people who enjoyed the music and doing a small trance gig of our own though... All in all it was a good night, and I can say that my mixing was a lot better than my first time.

Excellent playlist. Love the second track "diving".

I'm really happy for you partner! You have made Trance history in your home country and this is something we all dream of. I truly hope this will not be your last gig in Syria as it surely needs someone to get things started and who better to undertake such a task than someone with your natural talent. Congrats, keep up the great work, and best of luck for the future!

Bassel, it's never for how many u play.. it's how well u do it!!
dont forget that u're living in a place where TRANCE is unknown, so it'll take long time and much effort to start having a big crowd for ur music. But never give up, always do ur best and dont forget that we're all on a mission!!

glad you made it happen and awesome tracklist!!
