With a line-up that includes names like Ferry Corsten, Cosmic Gate and Marco V, you know there’s going to be classics. Synergy takes hold of the Passengers Terminal Amsterdam. Big names are a guarantee for great bangers and to start off with a famous one; Josh Gabriel got the crowd around midnight going with ‘When the rush comes’. The people inside the poorly decorated Passengers Terminal Amsterdam where part of the older house-generation. Not like they were having a social gathering, but even when dj’s like Jean and Quintin climb aboard the boot the crowd doesn’t go as wild as expected.

Although the sound in the terminal was all good, it didn’t capture the right feeling, sense or mood. It sounded a bit flat, a pity considering some of the most famous names in house history were present. The Madhouse area was a well deserved private space for these ‘mad’ gentleman, thinking about what they have done for house history.

It took the crowd a while to get into the mood, just as it took the bar a while to get a bit busier. Nothing wrong with a bit of dancing space, but just like at the bar it looked like you were alone in a very big hall. Considering that the building isn’t ideal for a big houseparty, again and again there are successful and splendid parties in the PTA. This edition of Synergy isn’t an exception. And afterwards, off to the ship.
