Party Report 1
A night that we have been waiting for it all together, for all Romanian trancers, a night on fire that had such a VIP one of the most TOP DJs worldwide, his name is Mister Armin van Buuren <-- no further comment, the name speaks for itself.
Unfortunately, the organization, made this event to look not so professional, and most of us really expect more then just that, I say all these after I have heard some rumors and thoughts from several other people that have been there, which are not all the same.
For me it was a night to remember, a very special night, first of all it was the first ever venue that I ever attent to, and second of all, I have listened LIVE, my favourite Dj: Armin van Buuren. The heat didn`t bother me at all, nor the people that came there for the event itself, just an average event for some of them, to show off with their fancy clothes, and NOT being there four the man himself and being proud taking part of an event such as this.
I went there for a main reason, having fun and enjoy the moment of what happen to me and I took max advantage of all entire night. After 4 hours of warm-up, with Dj Vania, around morning time, nearly 2 AM, just by the main laser by the control desk, we saw a shadow... All people stared to scream, shout and jump around, they started to clap their hands, and all those lights and blits started to light up the hall... it was Armin, the hand over of the main control desk. It was a moment of total madness, I just took a quick look behind me ( due I was one of the happy trancers around there, that stood just beside the control desk, around 5-6 meters from the DJ ) and I saw an endless ocean of uprighted hands wawing all the way, from the very back end to the front, endless lights and colors, and the happiness it was easy to see from their faces, the ones that have been there, all of them, each and every one.
I myself discovered an extraordinary Armin and I was, I am still and I will be always happy in a very nice way by the way he speaked to us, wavew his hands over us, he started to chat with the public, he comunicated with each and every one of us with very simple body language which stands for 1000 words all together. He was dancing, claping, and jumping in the same time with us, jumping on the music rythm, which was easy to see that he paying a lot of attention while spinning, he is giving all his got, he is doing his best to maintain the fever... and even if he is listening and playing those tunes for thousand and thousand of times, probably those tunes wakes a different Armin each and every time he is playing them and maybe those tunes made him to feel the way we all feel, alltogether, I felt that somehow, we all became ONE.
Million of goosebumps all over my body just by listening my favourite tunes, including a special name that I can easily remember, among all other top tunes, mixed by my favourite Dj, and all of a sudden, when I have listened the first seconds of Beam - In Your mind (Sean Tays hard dub remix) I had a feeling that I am about to fly, that my feet are floating and once I have closed my eyes, I really felt that I am diving in the endless ocean of Trance, it was really a state of mind... in Armin`s way... it was just simply... A STATE OF TRANCE. I am 101% sure that I wasn`t the only one person from there having this kind of feelings and... and I reckon only a real EDM (Electronic Dance Music) lover knows this feeling I am talking about. Actually I was living, breathing, and feeling the same music with Armin van Buuren, not just playing a stream link several hours.
8 hours of dance which really ends so fast, but I woke up due it was 6 AM and all of these are finished. I really felt that those 8 hours was just a few minutes, all ends so fast and despite the way I felt, being tired and hungry, I can easily say that I have could go for more, I am sure of that at least 2-3 hours. After the show Armin spend a few to sing autographs for TRANCE lovers, talking about this, lucky me, I have achieved with a very much ease with an autograph signed by him, also a pictures snapped, me and him too.
It was a hell of a night, full of lights and colours and the music played by Armin, I mean the playlist made my soul to cry out loud, due I was happy... such a feeling I have tried to express those feelings, in the lines wrote above, the feeling that I had that night and I hope I wasn`t way to offliner and also I wasn`t leading myself to and endless speechless and boring statement, but this is how I felt that night, and also if that happen somehow, it was for a main reason, to show You guys and explain You what is the Armin feeling You have once You see him LIVE and I wish You guys to feel the same and You`ll know what I am talking about for sure
I am again 101% that it was the most adventurous night and the most beautifull night of my life and I don`t believe that I will ever forget it...

Party Report 2
I've been expecting this event since last year. Armin coming in Romania, the well known '' small Ibiza'' (Bucharest & Constanta).
The Event started at 22 or 23 I don't remember well. I met with my clubbing group in front of World Trade Plaza. We've been taking pictures and talking for about an hour, then we went to a store for drinking something to ''warm up''. It was pretty awesome to see people excited by the event and to drink with them.

As we returned, we entered the WTP. At the decks, was Vania for warm-up. We had another drink and made ourselves way in front of him ( as we could go further ). And then we started to feel the music by jumping and screaming. That moment Vania, reckognized us, and felt pretty god , I think. Then we heard some common tracks like ''Cafe del mar'' people got mad on that... and .. mmm i don't remember now, but I can say that his style was awesome. People got bored by so much tech, minimal and other genres. I respect Vania for his 4h mixing. We jumped and screamed 3 h at every single track... after this time we were exausted.. It's pretty normal. The crowd was getting larger by every single minute. The place was full at 12:00.
I'e seen there and heard of a lot of people who actually did't had the idea of being on Armin's event. Their place in that night wasn't there.
I jumped and screamed all night, I smacked all the people around me, without my will hehe... That night was magic.

The moment Armin appeared was 'magnific'. A green laser behind made an aura around him. SUPERB !!! EVERYBODY was screaming like in a madhouse. Everybody took pictures, and they were smiling. The crowd gave him the necessary attitude and force to spin the tracks. He was pretty close to the public, and like every dj, with every single person who can attract his attention. At every change of track people were screaming like they wanted more... and they wanted more... and they received more !! He mixed up with an hour and a half more thanks to the mad public !! He felt our energy and combined with the tracks => TRANCE. I don't know what details can I give but I hope the pictures will tell more.

Close to the end, after 5am many people went to the after party in Studio Martin. The real trancers stayed to the final, this is my opinion ( I stayed ,too ).
br> I almost forgot to mention that he came in front of the decks and thank everybody there for presence in 1st place and then he jumped of the scene and give his signature to the mad fans, unfortunately we only shacked hands. I wasn't able to make a picture with him... maybe next time.
This event was for sure the Best Trance Event in Romania !
