Into 2012, But First A Party

New Years Eve is one hell of a party night. I mean, I'm not sure who came up with the night before Thanksgiving being the biggest party night, because it's NYE that take over cities. We're talking Deadmaus3 and Nero is two spots NYC, every promotional group is throwing a crazy party that somehow gets packed out regardless of every group throwing a party, it is wild. But this year I did it a little unorthodox...

Let's Party!! By: Adam P.

Imagine this: Huge house in the Hamptons. Main floor has DJs spinning hardstyle, dubstep, house and all other sorts of EDM. Basement has live bands jamming out with punk, rock, metal and grunge. The backyard is stocked with people chatting it up smoking and the like. VIP area with a chill room and hot tub. Full bar. About 550 people packed into this house.

ROCK OUT!! By: Adam P.

They had a ton of stuff to do here. Drinking games like beer pong and Drink! (the board game), a chilling room dimly lit with black light, awesome drawings and painting around the walls, multiple kegs, fire dancers, and DJs from over, even Philly with Skitzofiliak. Speaking of DJs, here was the original lineup:

Chris Creaturee (Experimental/Electro Swing/Dubstep)
Ian BlaqkSheep LimeLight (Hardstyle/Electro/Dutch House)
DJ Slew (trance/house/progressive)
Mx Almond (Mash)
Panik Attack (DJ k*Y and Skitzofiliak) (Dubstep)
DJ Whodatt WhoDatt (electro//dirty dutch house)
DJ Mad Panda (House)
Mike Steeves (House)

Downstairs you had the bands rocking out:


Deadly Blessed (Metal/Hard rock)
Mother Brain (Grind)
Cygnus (Progressive / Death Metal)
Sea of Trees (Experimental)
Zombie Culture & Shmuck (Thrash/Hardcore/Black Metal)
High Bluff (Alternative/Garage/Punk)
The Skum (Punk)
The Assassins ( Hardcore punk)


I didn't get their with my fellow OWLs until 11pm. The party was probably at it's peak at this point. there were so many cars parked on the street, we had to park a five minute walk away. Which doesn't seem bad, but when you are crawling up a hill at 5 miles an hour trying not to hit any of the people showing up or driving off, it feels like forever. Regardless, we got in started meeting some people, and before we knew it, Happy New Year!! The party went to outer space when the ball dropped!

Balloons? Yes! By: Adam P.

That's when we broke out the gloves and started entertaining the crowd. It was like a mix between people who wanted light shows, and those that had never seen a glover before. It was so much fun throwing lights for the newbies, they were loving it!

Supernova Throwing Nights By: Adam P.

We hung out in the darkroom for a while playing with lights... and then the cops showed up.

Now the cops came because of the parking situation. The few neighbors that were left there for the winter probably got pissed and made the call. But to get over 500 kids out of a house, were the promoters wouldn't let the cops inside the house (good jobs guys!), it will take a while to clear out. We laid low for a while hoping they would leave when a majority of the party goers dipped... but they didn't. Everyone was out of the house by 2am and I was sad about that. I was pissed mostly because I missed KY and Skitzofiliaks set. I never heard Skitz spin, but he coached KY a little, and I've only heard sick things about the dub he drops. One day soon I will get my ass to Philly or catch him at another event.

The night continued for me and my friends when we went to another friends house... after an hour and a half drive. Next time a party is thrown, I hope it's in a venue that can't get busted up, because this party was amazing!

It was the best kind of mayhem my eyes have ever witnessed. Surprisingly without too many issues either. With that amount of people, there's going to be problems, like not being able to control the door, or being able to really move with everyone in the house. With those issues aside, the party was off the hook, and with many familiar faces from the scene. Everyone who could threw in a hand to make it into a success.

Orbiting Monster By: Adam P.

On the promotion you had Ula Gradowska, Chris Creaturee and Teresa Gradowska. They are the ones to thank for filling this place out and making sure it was a banger! Taking care of lighting was Powertrip Lighting, and doing a sick job with it. They brought in a ton of equipment and the room looked fantastic. Always love seeing Alex on the scene, mad props to you! Also lending a hand with equipment was Nick Slew, and Mike Steeves. They brought in all the DJ equipment, and with just the above mentioned, that's a lot to bring in, especially to a house where you don't have the luxury of a stage and it's pretty much a risk with everyone getting crazy.You also had Divine GoGo dancing in the little room they had in front of the booth and still having fun with it!
