Finally the day I was eagerly waiting for, had arrived … Arrrrrrmmmiiiiiiiinnnnn!!!!!…
An early morning black coffee helped get back from the high altitudes ‘Rocket Fuel’ had taken me the previous night. Plan of the day was to relax and save all the energy for the big evening. So I was chilling at the hotel doing what I normally do, talking to my computer lol
That’s it 4:30 PM time to rock or I should say time to be “in a state of trance” the only place that makes sense 😛
We rushed out of the hotel to reach sunburn, the unexpected traffic made me realize that I was not the only one in Goa who was waiting for this day (obviously). Our car was moving at a snail’s pace, it was bumper to bumper horror. So we decided to find an appropriate place to dump our car, which turned out to be some 3.5 km away from sunburn festival venue. We didn’t walk the distance … We ran!!!
It’s funny that when you want to reach somewhere so badly even 3 km would seem like 300 lol. By the time we reached the venue DJ Pearl was already jamming at the sky dome and Sander Van Doorn at the Tree Dome. DJ Pearl was playing awesome house music and this time I was very near to the stage (the right place to be)
No doubt DJ Pearl is one of India’s Finest House Music DJs. Her beats weaved magic…Check the Video
Pearl Jamming
7:30 PM 29th December 2009, So far Best day of my life… There comes the GOD on the sky dome, ready to take everyone into a state of trance. His entry sent the whole crowd into a tizzy, I caught myself chanting his name Armin! Armin! Armin! along with the crowd. The hysteria was similar to a cricket stadium when people are screaming Sachin! Sachin! ….LOL …Ok don’t get mad, not trying to hurt anybody’s sentiments here… both are GOD’s in their respective worlds: P
If anyone present at sunburn had any doubt why is he called the No1 DJ in the world, Armin put it to rest with the first set he played. Armin’s intro track was a remix of his own track BT’s Every Other Way (awesome song), a great intro track i must say…he did a Air Guitar act which was funny…lol One of the reason I think he’s so great because the way he connects with people, If he finds you standing still and lost, he would immediately raise his hands and mesmerise you back in to the state of trance!!!
The next track was Paul van Dyk feat. Johnny McDaid – Home (Cosmic Gate Remix) another one of my favourite tracks, below this post I have the entire track list of Armin Van Burren at Sunburn Festival. Well I could go on and on about how the show was, but I don’t wish to bore you with just text so instead am posting the video… I am sharing my Armin Van Buuren Sunburn experience that we managed to capture for all of you who missed that special night and also for those who wish to go back in time and refresh their sunburn experience.
