Creamfields 2008 – WoW!

One of the coolest trance festivals in Europe is coming to Romania: Creamfields Festival! I don’t know where to start to tell about how great it’s going to be. 😀 I’m so excited to go that I can barely wait for the 2nd of August! The line-up is…incredible! I mean, just put David Guetta, Ferry Corsten, David Morales and Marcus Schulz in the same area and you get a music bomb! Although I’m surely going to be dead tired after ICWiP, I don’t care. I am going and I’m gonna dance my ass off there to compensate for the fact that I couldn’t enjoy all of Armin’s concert. For more detalis, go to the festival’s website and you’ll find all the necessary details and maybe I’ll see you there! It’s worh every penny (the ticket is somewhat expensive) and, moreover, it’s the guarantee that there won’t be any idiots around, like the ones attending other festivals (we know which one…).

This is just a small taste of what Creamfields is about:

So, I haven’t written in a while, but I think I’ve made up for it today. 🙂 And, between us, the British always make good stuff! That’s why I love them. 🙂

Armin Only@Arenele Romane, Bucharest 28.06.2008 – IMAGINE

One of the most intense experiences of my life: Armin Only@Arenele Romane, Bucharest 28.06.2008 – IMAGINE Tour! The best music I’ve ever heard and the most passionate I’ve ever been about music, on a night in which the sky gates opened and released themselves. We did the same. A surreal musical experience, brought by the best dj in the world: Armin van Buuren.

We barely entered the arena, when it started raining. Or, should I say, pouring! It kept going for 3 whole hours! But that didn’t stop the music. We waited for Armin, soaking wet, dancing and feeling music run through our veins, rather than blood! I cannot explain how fantastic it was! It’s one thing to see actors dance in the rain in movies and videos, but it’s a completely different experience to feel it on your own. We were ecstatic!

Armin kept us waiting and we virtually climaxed when he made his grand appearance! The crowd was not scattered by the rain and Armin bowed before us, thanking us for our devotion. But how could we do otherwise, when he gave us such a great time! I loved Eller’s guitar! It’s so intense it made me shiver more than the rain! 😀

I could only stay for a couple of hours, because I had started to shiver and I was afraid I might get pneumonia. Armin mixed until 6:30 in the morning and didn’t let us down. We danced to stop the rain and, eventually, it stopped. The show went on and was wonderful! I can’t wait for the next time!

Rag doll

Sometimes I just feel like closing my eyes. They seem tired. They take the world outside and build it up inside me. They twist and turn images in my head and make me feel dizzy. My eyes and my brain plot against me and fill my nights with strange dreams. And sometimes I need to take a break from the world. My eyes get fed up with their jobs and beg for rest. They tell me

that it’s time to stop seeing, time to take a deep breath…and let go. At times, the sun hurts them: it’s too bright. Other times, they miss certain faces…so I close my eyes and watch those pictures again. Or maybe an entire movie…Too bad there’s no happy ending. But we have Hollywood to blame for that. And just when I had started to think that having myself is all I need to feel happy. Things got so tangled. I’m like a rag doll, made up of bits an pieces, of strange colors and sewed together badly.

I need to be rescued from myself. I need a pair of powerful hands to hold me and make me all better. Hands that spell “protection” and “tenderness” gently with their fingers on my skin. I need an arm under my head so I can sleep well again. I need so many things…but for now I have to settle with waiting.

saving hands

“Nooo
Ive gone out of my way
But I’m not free
From this pain I’m breathing
I was a fool to think
someday you would come around…”

Vibe la Arene

Joi seara am ajuns pe la Arenele Romane, la lansarea Vibe Fm. Atmosfera era ok, dar lucrurile au inceput sa se miste abia cand s-a intunecat si Ingrosso si D’Angelo au inceput sa mixeze. Muzica buna, Red Bull si un mod perfect de a scapa de stresul din sesiune. Clubbing in aer liber cu prietenii? Ideal! 🙂

Armin van Buuren – Imagine

Unele lucruri sunt frumoase. Unele lucruri sunt emotionante. Unele lucruri sunt uimitoare. Si exista lucruri ce aduna toate aceste trasaturi.

E tipit pentru mine sa ma fixez pe o anumita piesa/album si sa o/il ascult pana la epuizare (desi, de obicei, revin la acea piesa/acel album dupa ceva vreme). Recent, I’ve fallen head over heels for Armin – Imagine.

Unele lucruri sunt greu de explicat. Asa si modul in care intro-ul concertului imi face pielea gaina… Cred ca, dintre toate pasiunile mele, nu e nimic mai legat de fiinta mea decat muzica. Acea muzica ce e capabila sa transcrie emotiile mele in note si ritmuri unice. Armin e unul dintre artistii care reusesc asta (bine, ATB e #1 for ever pentru mine! 🙂 ), iar concertul de la Utrecht a fost unul dintre cele mai frumoase pe care le-am vazut. Abia astept sa traiesc aceeasi astmosfera pe 28 iunie, la Bucuresti! Albumul se anunta unul incredibil, insa nimic nu se compara cu energia si starea de euforie de la concertele celui mai bun dj din lume! Acordurile de chitara se imbina perfect cu ritmul unui gen de muzica ce traduce libertatea in cel mai frumos limbaj: muzica! Personal, abia astept sa ajunga albumul si pe rafturile din Romania si sa ma duc sa-l pun pe repeat! 😀
