Coccoon was my favourite night last year........brilliant.
Sven Vath is ok.......plays a melodic brand of techno.
If you get the chance to see Richie Hawtin do it.........the guy is a genius.

I managed to catch a Cocoon Club in 2002 with Sven Vaeth and Richie Hawtin... incredible Monday evening. Absolutely incredible.
The best part about Cocoon Club was that it was rivaling Manumission. Those out for the party went to Manumission, and those out for the music were grooving with Hawtin and Vaeth.
I managed to get my camera in to Amnesia as well-- I was hassled at the door, but once the doorman discovered that it was a real camera, and not a disposable, he allowed me to enter with it if I "promised not to take any pictures."

Recommended highly.

Big fan of Cocoon and techno, but I though Vath was a bit of a let down when I saw him at Cocoon last summer and thought the dj on before him, Frank Lorber another Cocoon resident was much better.
Vath knows how to work the crowd, but I felt the stuff he played bordered on the trancier side of techno :x as it was so 'euphoric' in parts which really isn't my cup of tea at all. However, when I'm over this season, Dj Hell is playing with him which should be amazing.

Sven vath is a very talented techno DJ and one of the pioneer german techno DJs. His current style moves in between tech-electro to melodic pumping techno (german techno).
I myself heard him last year alongside Richie Hawtin and both tore down the dancefloor to pieces... amazing night that was. You can find pics i shot on that night here:

sven väth is fantastic!!!!!!
he is a techno legend. not only that he plays techno, vath IS techno 8)
anyway, I think you have to understand him in order to like him...
some info:
Sven Väth is one of the world's most legendary DJs and club scene figures, notorious for his long DJ-sets and blinding energy. With a career spanning over two decades, he's gone a long way from his start in '82 to defining trance in the early 90's and presently creating a techno sound of his own.
Sven Väth is best known for what he accomplished during the 90's. With Väth as the visionary director, the labels Harthouse and Eye Q produced countless landmark classics of electronic music and defined the European club sound of their time. Among the gems are Väth's own best-selling concept albums ”Accident in Paradise” and ”The Harlequin, The Robot and the Ballet Dancer”, which were followed later by ”Fusion”, ”Contact” and ”Fire” -albums.
Recently Sven Väth has been pushing quality sounds and refreshing the club life in Ibiza with his Cocoon Club at Amnesia. With Richie Hawtin as the second resident, the list of their guests is not unlike the ”Techno's who's who”: Mills, Heil, Rachmad, Cox, Hell, F.E.O.S., Bondzio, Bug, Carola, Liebing, Villalobos, Acquaviva, Lekebusch, Beyer, Rush, Wink, Rother, Weatherall, Fixmer, Ho, Mayer. After numerous Cocoon events around Germany this year sees also the opening of a new Cocoon Club venue in Frankfurt.
Still at the top of his game, Väth's current sound is an original mixture of modern club music, building from glitchy electronics to mindblowing techno with masterful skill.

I'm looking forward to this year - loads of techno around!. I'm trying to time my visit to catch Picotto's new night at Privilege, Cocoon (which I missed last year for some reason) and Coxy's opening at Space. So it's looking like mid July for me rather than the end of June...

I love my techno, but I was a bit disappointed with Vath. I appreciate he's been around for ages and has done a lot, but I've never been that keen on his own material and that his act was based around the man and the myth rather than the music.
He is still worth catching, but I'm just saying that there's better about.
Still, he's to thank for Cocoon!
