Ahh Well where do i start??? Saturday night and it was Illusion @ Phillips Park Hall/Whitefield/Manchster. Me and the 10 others who went where well up for it, 
we'd hired a limo, as it was me fiances b/day....
Got there at last, as we got lost
lol at about 8.30ish we arrived at the venue, wasnt to busy but there where a few heads in, its quiet a mad setup really once inside..
I Had to make sure all our party got in safely as i was on the guest list and i had every bodys ticket money, unfortunatly the bouncers where wankers, as they always are, and tryed to rush me on even tho there wernt anybody else to get in after us!!!!!
once in we entered the hardcore arena which is normally a function room for weddings etc so you can imagine the setup, a really low roof, u know the tiled type you used to get at school??? there where a few heads in there well up for it and were going hell for lever lol...
We bypassed this as we wernt really into it and decided to check out the oldskool arena which i might add was a Bowlers reunion arena.... (They where 5 arenas in all but they played stuff like hard techno and more hardcore, which aint for me but people where enjoying it as we walked through the different arenas...)
Up first we had ventura and snypa i think playing a good section of oldskool tunage....
This set, set the mood for the night and was pretty good...
A couple of hours had passed anyway lots and lots more people arrived and everybody was havin fun etc, a few dodgy people but hey you get that every where i reckon??? didnt see any fighting all night which was a bounus.
About half way through the night i was asked to play a set and step in for some one who didnt turn up! obviously i hadnt bought any tunes, so decided to go back to back witht the man like Daz Willot, this guy had em all rockin in his previous set, which i might add was top notch!!!!
next up was Dream Frequency every body shoved forward to capture the moment!!! there where no key boards at all, one singer, and two dancers all on a stage about 3foot x 5foot!! They kicked of with "feel so real" i think then played "take me" and then they played wigan pier style tunes...
Any way next up was daz willot me & xtc back to back, which was fun, and an honour for me playing alongside to legend djs, i was in my element i'll tell ya lol after us dj Sy and Seduction played for the last couple of hours, which started of great but then ended in dissaster as they went a bit to breakbeat/jungle and definatly wernt Bowlers tackle!!!!!!!
This did empty the dance floor too and put alot of people on a downer i reckon, we wanted oldskool piano, but it wernt meant to be.
Over all it was a good night we all got messy as you do
and the crowd over all were sound....
Anyways that was my opinon on illusion.....
