Cocoon 2015

Went last night 2-4am thought it was shit , over crowded, wtf was Sonjas last tune about ??
Moody crowd
Hardly nobody dancing
Or am I getting old ??
 
feedback coming later people. off to bed with one of the last tunes sven played at the afters

targa - untold.
 
Couldnt get my head around Henrik schwarz (from 3 to 4 ) didn't work for me. So see the end of Alicante set which was spot on . Then Sven until 9.30 (unfortunately had to get myself back for sleep as flew home last night) and he was on point as usual .
So I'm in agreement you turned up at the wrong time , but these mistakes can always be corrected next year. Like with me with pacha in another thread , mind you can't see myself doing pacha again (great club but not for me)

Think I shimmied past stivi Around 7ish at the side bar on terrace but at that point in time I could barely string a sentence together :confused: so thought it best not to embarrass myself . Maybe next time I won't be so twisted up and I'll introduce myself to you ;)
 
and another fine for amnesia between 1000 and 10 000 euros for letting cocoon closing going on so long. second one after music on. expensive weekend for amnesia, I guess they are sharing the fine with cocoon?
the article also states that cocoon didn't have permission to start their afters at 12, so probably another fine?

just history repeating really, always the same after the left win the elections. not looking good for next season :(
 
Not sure a 10.000 euro fine will put Amnesia off? Surely they will cover that and more from sales while they are over-running? The after maybe a different story but I'm sure Sven is happy to put his own hand in his pocket for the sake of that party
 
I'll start with music rather than words (I'll still have to put all those pieces together of 20 hours of cocoon fun!)

sven's last tune at amnesia - do a bit of research on this is you don't know it ;)



and sven's raindance curveball tune at the afters - scenes I tell ya...

 
This was my favorite Cocoon yet. Sven in top form, playing nearly as hard as he would in the main room and never relenting, just getting progressively weirder as the morning drew on. And the after was phenomenal, really mixing things up with changes of pace, plenty of house and tech house during the daytime. I think the reason the after was so good was because Sven left himself enough room to explore new directions by playing such a fierce and straight ahead techno set the night before. So what made this the best Cocoon yet for me was the way the two sets complemented each other.

I had Leon Vynehall - It's Just (House of Dupree) as the last track at Amnesia, but admittedly the spacetime continuum was getting a little warped by then.

Other memorable moments from Amnesia for me were Daniel Bortz "Don't Disturb Bjorn" and Fx Mchn - Dunn (Roman Flugel Remix)...both played around the same time and really took things to the next level. I also discovered Dim Sum - "Breach" - for the first time. Holy crap.

Musical highlight of both parties for me was Vince Watson "Eminescence" - played near the end of each.

The after for me was the best one in recent memory. More intimate than in years past, and with sufficient amounts of proper weirdness, like Boney M - "Kalimba de Luna." It takes a special kind of madman to dust that one off and sing along to every word...while playing the air guitar for the slap bass solo, followed by the air pan flute (don't think I've seen that one attempted before).

Sven ended things with a couple hours of deep melodic techno - a really nice way to let everyone down gently. It was pouring cats and dogs so everyone crowded into the part of the dancefloor that had shelter from the rain. As messy as things got it made for a nice moody ambiance with the rain coming down all around. After that Targa track he actually put on one more, Larry Heard / Mr White - "You Rock Me." Wow.

Overall a very memorable night. And the kind of party where after it's over you feel like you're just playing with house money for the rest of the week ;) Thoroughly satisfying and hard to top!

In the specialised Dutch Ibiza-press, they say that the authorities just opened a hunt against Amnesia...

The fact that Amnesia stayed 6 hours longer open for the Cocoon Closing party resulted in a fine which they payed like always in the past, but apparently this time severe & extra sanctions would follow...

:evil:o_O:eek:
