The Story Begins...

Hello.
Everyone was so excited about the recent 2 Days of Freedom.
I can see it's a pretty international event.
Cool staging, awesome soundsystem and the best security in any rave event.

Me, Khaleeq (Sarfaraz), Zack, Awan and Haziq got our car parked around 8.30pm after the massive jam along Port Dickson road. The night market was also happened to be at the same night. Policemen were everywhere to ensure the road to be smooth.
Many cars were parked at the roadside. Hahaha. Thanks god, we found one that is very near to the entrance.

Cosmic Gate. My second time experiencing their music. This one was even better compared to the previous MyNation. Those 2 guys (DJ Bossi & Nic Chagaal) was awesome that night. They warmed us up with their good selections mix of songs before Tiesto came up. They played "Body of Conflict", "What You Need", "Should Have Known", and Tiesto's "Everything" to name a few.

by 12am, Cosmic Gate end his mix and it was the time for a "half-time" show by the laserman experience.

Few minutes later, the introduction of Elements of Life began. All cameras recorded it eventhough Tiesto wasn't on stage yet.
And then... the voice said "ELEMENTS OF LIFE" and everybody became crazy because they can see Tiesto walked on the stage. The fireworks colors the sky and Tiesto played "Ten Second to Sunrise" from his latest album followed by "Carpe Noctum". Same goes with the "Dance4Life (Freedom Mix)". He played "Driving to Heaven", "Bright Morningstar" and lots more from the Elements of Life album. Of course! Malaysia is actually a part of his Elements of Life World Tour.

Everyone became crazy and sing along throughout "Break My Fall" and "In the Dark". Tiesto played Klaus Badelt - He's a Pirate (Tiesto Remix) taken off from the Pirates of Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest soundtrack. Not my favorite track but I could hear people imitate the beat of the song and they were jumping like there's no tomorrow. Well, it's a rave. People can go crazy. Girls sitting on their friend's shoulder to get a clear view of Tiesto and waved at him.

Throughout the end of his show, he played his famous classics such as "Love Comes Again", "Lethal Industry", "Adagio For Strings", and "Silence (Feat. Sarah McLachlan)".

Haziq & Awan asked me during "Silence" were playing, "Sapa nyanyi lagu ni?" (Who sang this song?) and I said, "Sarah McLachlan". They were shocked, "YER?!"

The best part of the show was the last hour of his mix. Lots of progressive tracks. My most favorite was "More Than Anything" by Gareth Emery (Remix by Stoneface & Terminal). The craziest track for me and also my personal favorite too was "Platinum" by Nenes & Pascal Feliz. Crazy one!

When he played "Breathing" by D'Alt Villa, I've guessed that he was almost done like the Copenhagen DVD tracklist. It's a really soothing ambience track and it was feature in the sixth installment of In Search of Sunrise (Ibiza).

My guess was wrong. At the last beat of "Breathing", we heard the slow introduction of "Adagio For Strings". Everybody became very energetic and party harder! The visuals shows various of city names in random such as San Paulo, London, Copenhagen, Budapest, Moscow, Los Angeles and it stops at "Malaysia" when the music breaks. The crowd was high! I was so proud to see Malaysia in one of the names and then when the music ends, the visuals show the Malaysian flag.

He got off stage and the music that played was the crowd shouting for more.
The only sentence that I could hear from the whole Admiral Marina was "WE WANT MORE!"
They chanted it like zombies that needs more blood.
I was one of the zombies too.
He came up on stage again and hit us with a tune.
The beat was really familiar. Even myself could forget such trance anthem!
When the music builds up, Tiesto signed on his headphone and then throw it to the crowd.
I heard voices saying "FUCK! Damn Lucky" and various of unsatisfied crowd for not getting it.
hehehe.

And then the beats made me thinking again. Shit. What took it so long?
Later on, as the music builds up more and more. The crowd shouted and blew their whistles. And I was like "OMG, Marcel Woods?"
What a classic?
It was purely massive to hear the song in a big crowd. Everybody couldn't help but to dance as hard as they can to the last mix of Tiesto.
Whaddya expect? Everyone gave all out for the last track! :)

Foreigners wore crazy color wig with their rave outfit. Hundreds of local raver with the paintball mask. Many people came with clown hats, showing off their glowstick's move. This brought back to the old days of rave. Many old time ravers showed up. I saw lots of husband with their wives. Old guys, old women too. Wow. Tiesto really brought all the ravers from the older generation to the young ones in one event.

Thanks to Tiesto for bringing back the good old days. All ravers from Malaysia unite as one in this event. And the good part is, this event showed that Malaysia is also a rave destination in the eyes of the world.

Thanks to Scenique for giving us the night that we'll always remember :)

The Story Begins...

Hey everybody,
I know that i've been non-stop talking about Tiesto this and Tiesto that...
but who cares?

TIESTO IS MAKING HIS FUCKING COMEBACK IN MALAYSIA!

Fuck, yeah!

I've been a fan of him since I was still in school.
Traffic, Love Comes Again, Adagio For Strings and Flight 643 was my favorite.
Oh well, I only listen to his hits at that time. :P

In 2006, he did a great 5 hours set in Sepang.

2008, he's back! CRAZY! 2 nights of him!

So now, here it goes...

An event organize by Scenique Concert & Event (the one who paid 100,000 pounds for TIESTO in 2006 & the most controversial concert of 2007, Gwen Stefani) and Live Nation, Partners with Heineken and Channel V, and of course, supported by Juice magazine.


Tiesto will be spinning 3 hours for each night from 12 to 3am. The bad boy of trance; Ferry Corsten on the first night from 9pm to 12am, and Cosmic Gate on the final day from 9pm to 12am. Oh yeah! Do witness 3 biggest acts in trance music!


It's held at the same place as the third installment of Recharge Revelation (R3charge).


It's on Friday and Saturday. So be quick to book your accommodations.

2 days of FREEDOM will captivate the masses with an international stage 200ft in size with 'all view angles' accompanied by mega LED screens, stage pyros, laser displays (both multicoloured and pure white lasers specially flown in for this festival, making its Asia debut), imported giant smoke generators and finally, international VJs from 3 different countries to top it off!

This is way too crazy! You'll experience rave like you'll never experienced before!
