Where to even start....
We arrived early to set up the back room and we got everything done with enough time to spare to take two bites of a shwarma and boom, everyone started streaming in.
Our pal Quito jumped on to warm up the night and a bunch of enthusiastic dancers were dancing around by the second song. Great way to get a solid vibe going. And that really set the standard for the night...
Deztro comes up and starts bashing out some hardcore and within minutes, the room was in fully motion dancing up a storm. The venue had some technical difficulties, but we managed to get a dj monitor up and running and B7 brought it down hard and dark as the room started to get nice and sweaty. The A/C was on and the fans were going, but the sheer amount of heat being generated was great. And that's really what it's all about!
Flim jumped up on the decks and threw down a bit funky, but banging and totally crowd pleaseing. By the end of his set, the bodies were starting to glisten with sweat but the whole floor was still gyrating about enthusiastically. Brainfail took the decks and took Flim's techno up a few notches - a bit faster, a bit more distorted. Everyone ate it up! Then Deztro was back up and the dj rotation began again.
Crowd was super enthusiastic. We gave away piles of CD's. We gave away official Embryon clothing. The main room was packed and full of smiling faces all night. JaMmCat was around doing what he does best. We heard of no major problems with the crowd or security. There was sexy-ness all over the place and non-stop dancing from the beginning, right through till the end!
Hope everyone enjoyed the tunes, the decor in the backroom and the whole party overall!

Kay.. these reviews are stupid.
Everyone's talking about their drugs and their trip or their drunkenness. The rave scene itself is going to the shitter. It should be about the music and the good times, not even the drugs.
All that aside, best Darkrave I've been to in a while. I must say I enjoyed it thoroughly and the music was amazing. I don't remember dancing that hard ever in my life. Definitely a good workout for my abs and.. everything else. I'm STILL sore from all the dancing.
The people were great. The music made it. All around.. it was pimp.
All in all, I had an amazing time.

Great Effing Darkrave.
got there at 6:30ish to help setup the Embryon back room. talk about freezing my balls off (<3 the new AC unit).
a whole whack of people started lining up around 8-8:15pm.. and someone had a gee-tar (?).
anyways, stayed in the back room for 90% of the night. so.. yah.
Quito opened the backroom, playing a mixture of tech-house / bigbeat stuffs. fabulous. he tossed on Adam Freeland - We Want Your Soul.. and then i saw Deztro getting setup  the people dancing were not expecting such a changeover 
anyways, the whole backroom was fabulous. hats off for Embryon for throwing such a complimenting 2nd room to Darkrave. backroom ended around 4ish, and that's when Jimi LaMorte went on in the front room.
now, Jimi LaMorte (aka Malhavoc) is one of my favourite Djs/Artists of all times. he has diversity/track selection/mixing skills/crowd control. not only that, he has impeccable taste in music. anyways, he closed the night up / getting the 50-100 people left all dancing/grooving to his dark techno/electro/idm/minimal selections. annnd, he played a track i gave him earlier in the day to finish off his set (My Robot Friend - The Fake (Zombie Nation Remix). Talk about perfect ending to a perfect night. /emo
anyways, babble and /bat dance aside, kudos to Lazarus and Embryon for throwing a fabutastic night!

First review!
Probably one of my top 5 parties to date I don't even know where to begin. Just big smiles all around.
