RIP Joy

A review of this party is available, thanks to King Ron's Party Reviews and the Wayback machine: 

"This review is actually only a partial review since I was only in the techno room and I never went to the other venues. I arrived at about midnight and caught the last 5 minutes of someone's set who was playing some neat fast breakbeat. 

"The [techno] room was just like an unfinished basement of a house. It was a small, bare, grey coloured room with a concrete floor. The lighting was minimal with lights at the back and front along with a strobe, and there were between 50 and 70 people in the room. This may sound really ordinary and plain, but you know what? I thought it was pretty cool! The simpleness of the room created a unique atmosphere of its own. Most of the people were dancing and really getting into the music, and the vibe was most positive. 

"An ambient room was also supposed to be somewhere down there, but I couldn't find it. Oh well.

"DJ Vibes from Calgary started playing at 12, and he was spinning some cool trance and progressive. Technical difficulties arose sometime after 1 a.m. that stopped the music dead for about 15 minutes. But the problem got worked out and shortly thereafter was Deko-Ze's set. He started with some fierce hard acid, which I totally ate up, then he brought it down with some funky acid breaks and progressive beats. Then he brought things back up again with some marvellous acid and trance. What a wicked set!  

"Sun E Smiles aka DJ Nicky came on afterwards at ~ 3 a.m. with some nice acid trance which I moved to for a little bit. But I had to go home and save some energy for the next night.

"Overall, it was a really fun night, and I really enjoyed myself. The party was worth $7.21 out of the $8 for the room. And to the girl that gave me a candy, thanx!"
