Event Review: BT at Pacha January 6th, 2012
BT at Pacha Friday January 6th, 2012
Friday, January 6th had to have been one of the warmest January nights I have ever experienced. The anticipation to see BT was building all through out the day, and I couldn’t wait to get out of work and to get there. This was one of the top ten best nights of my life. I arrived at around 12:30, and the place was already bumping. I could hear certain elements building into this melodic vibe that are staple to BT alone. He had just begun his set. Perfect timing was the first thought that went into my mind.
It was a genuinely great atmosphere surrounded by some familiar faces, and BT was completely in the zone with the crowd. You could tell that everyone who was there was a fan, and it was a great vibe the entire night. I have to say that because I had seen BT before live, at Electric Zoo, which was by far the most classic BT performances ever. Especially because he had a surprise performance by JES, I was expecting classic BT at Pacha. Which unfortunately wasn’t the case, but he still managed to pull off a great performance anyway. He had his keyboard with him, so I was hoping for a Laptop Symphony type vibe, but I snapped out of it when I realized we are at Pacha. He is going to play what people go to Pacha for, beats. Immediately I was in the zone, watching the dance floor below me with every single person dancing together, everyone had great energy. It was almost like BT had put everyone in a trance, and controlled our every move. It was mind blowing watching the night unfold. Just because I wasn’t listening to the classic BT, doesn’t mean I wasn’t enjoying every single second of his set. It was still BT to the fullest, connecting with the crowd, and not stopping one second to even have a sip of water. My favorite tracks of the night had to be when he dropped “The Emergency” Markus Schossow Remix, and “Every Other Way” Armin Van Buuren Remix. It was the perfect two songs for the BT fans out there, all of us were singing the words to his songs along with him and dancing up a storm. It was no surprise to me that he dropped “Every Other Way” one of his many songs with the vocalist JES. It wouldn’t be in BT fashion to do it any other way.
After BT finished his mesmerizing set and had the great Rory James close the night out for him, I got to meet him. I have to say BT has to be one of the most humble DJ’s I have ever met. He had no problem stopping and taking pictures with everyone, and chatting for a few minutes. The only downside to the night was that his set could have been a bit longer, since he only spun for about an hour and a half. We stayed till about 5:00 am, and grooved to the amazing trance beats of Rory James. Who was absolutely phenomenal, I almost lost it when he played “Take me home” by Above and Beyond. He kept the crowd going after BT departed. He came on around 2:00am, and didn’t stop even until after we left at 5:00am. Don’t ever miss an opportunity to see BT live, you never know what to expect, he’s full of all sorts of surprises. The same goes for Rory James, he blew my mind. One word to describe the night, EPIC. If you weren’t there, you should have been.
