A few days prior to the show, Mr Ornadel told me to be prepared for some trancy
magic I would enjoy being an old Twilo Head. Guy does not disappoint.
He entered Avalon and I think my crew, being true heads, was the only people
to recognize him. He was gracious enough to say hello to all of us and thank
us for coming up from NYC to see him specifically.
Once he began, Guy Ornadel wasted no time in driving the crowd to dance
energetically. He opened in style with a remix of Scorchio. From there,
he slowly built up the night with uplifting beats and banging trance.
By 12:30 (knowing the night was short since the club closes at 2) Guy
knew he had this Boston crowd in the palm of his hands. With much fanfare,
and plenty of energy emanating from the DJ booth, Ornadel dropped Flight
643 (Oliver Klein Mix) and the crowd built itself into a feeding frenzy.
At 12:35, Guy dropped Urban Train (promised to my friend and he delivered)
and the crowd was his.
I never thought I could consider a song a bomb that early in the morning
but it suited our NYC crew just fine. Excitement oozed throughout the
club with Guy enticing, pushing everyone along to the rhythms and beats
of his masterful spinning. He even managed to sneak the Hide U
Flight 643 remix in a little later with enough finesse, that noone complained.
From then on, Guy Ornadel threw down the hard trance that has become his
bread and butter. Fast, furious and enough uplifting sounds to keep smiles
all about the club. Once he got going, he never stopped, speeding quickly
to the end of the night.
At the end of the night, we spoke to him again; he was very gracious
and had a grin from ear to ear. There is nothing better than a DJ who
enjoys what he does and garners excitement from his fans. When a friend
of mine promptly let him know that he had kicked Tiestos ass at
Gatecrasher back in NY, Guy simply smiled and answered, Tiesto is
a great guy.
Guy has been getting fabulous publicity lately and I hope he goes on to
be one of the best in the world. (He is in my eyes).
Guy Ornadel, a masterful Dj, an energetic personality and a true class
act.
