3/5 for Sied Van Riel who quite failed it as usual ! And 5/5 for John O'Callaghan who rocked it ! Sied played a Gr8 Sequence with Radiator, As The Rush Comes & Outsider, but the rest was boring, hence his 3 Stars ! John O'Callaghan ripped it up and thus truly deserved Aly & Fila's invitation ! My Favz from his Set were the Blueprint Mashup, Ashes, the Raw Deal Mashup, the Time Mashup, ID n°9 & Beauty Hides In The Deep !

3/5 for Moham Ragab & 4/5 for Arctic Moon ! Though there was only low-key stuff unfortunately, Moham spun a rather interesting Elektro-Prog Set with a Superb Intro Choon ! My Favz were Tears, It Will Be Ok, Glueck & Tonight ! Regarding Arctic Moon, I was surprised to hear Fallen Angel breaking the rhythm of Ashes ! A few traxx lacked power, like Melbourne Nailgun & Someone Like Ya, but why not, as they were quickly used as Intro & Outro respectively ! All the Other Choons were Monuments of Monster Trance ! My Favz were without any surprise whatsoever --> Ashes, ID n°5, True Romance, Midnight & Coming Home ! It was really cool to hear the R.T.F.M. Classic from 2009 besides, courtesy of Signum & Misja Helsloot ! And about ID n°5, Hell Yeah I'm sure that's a Brand New Arctic Moon Remix !!

4/5 for Philippe El Sisi & 5/5 for Bjorn Akesson ! In Philippe's Set, there are 2 ID Traxx between "Without You" and "Over You" ! El Sisi's Teky Elementz are friggin' Addictive & Nasty ! Despite a few Elektro traxx, his Set was generally Powerful with Wonderful Melodies in Humble, Amaze, ID n°5 (that was played just before "Over You") & The Last Hope ! As for Bjorn Akesson, I think his Set was the Second Best of FSOE 200 right after Aly & Fila's ! 45 min of Pure Madness !! The track that amazed me the most was his Rmx of Orjan Nilsen's Anywhere But Here, one of the Most Beautiful Vocal Trance achievements of 2011 !! So Drivin', Energetic and Uplifting, not a single second of lull in this Blazer of a Choon ! My other Favz were Robot Religion, Zahi, Perfect Blue & Painting Pyramids ! I was so friggin' glad to hear the Brand New Akesson Rmx for Vast Vision's Black Shores ! And his Latest Original feat. Jwaydan is Very Nice too !

3 stars for Mohamed Ragab. He started very well with melodic track, not fast, but nice. He put his own version of A&F It Will Be OK, which I like very much, although it is slower than original.
But halfway through the set something happened and he changed the style into progressive and I didn't like it. _________________ The grading system:
5 - amazing set, pure beauty, exceptional
4 - very good set, I loved it
3 - enjoyable set, nice to the ear, but not very memorable
2 - average set, has itīs ups and downs, nothing special
1 - I didnīt like it, most of the tracks were not for me.
Arctic Moon: 4 stars. Pretty cool set, but 2 or 3 tracks came as a cheesy surprise to me. I didn't expect Arctic Moon to put some crappy melodies, where there were so many beautiful sounds. However the rest of the set was a pure beauty, hence 4 stars. _________________ The grading system:

Philippe El Sisi: 4 stars. Pretty god set, especially at the beginning, but then it's just all about last Philippe's works all over again. It's a very good work, can't say otherwise, but also it's not perfect. _________________ The grading system:

Bjorn Akesson: 4 stars. Bjorn by far was the best of all celebration sets, but still I got the feeling, that there was something missing in his set to match perfection. Not much, just a little bit, but still. _________________ The grading system:

Sied van Riel: 1 star. First 20-25 minutes are quite enjoyable, but everything what happens after that is pure horror. I was really lucky to listen to this set on Winamp, so I could skip one track after another until I even got tired of that and skipped whole set. If it would be first 20 minutes, it would be 3 stars, as a whole it's a disaster. _________________ The grading system:

John O'Callaghan: 5 stars. I am not entirely sure about this 5 stars for John, because not all of his track kept the same level of amazingness, but the truth is, that some of his selections were indeed the best of all. Hence a little bit stretched note for him, just to show, that I enjoyed his set the most by far. _________________ The grading system:

Aly & Fila: 3,5 stars. Egyptian masters prepared a set mostly consisting of their own productions. And everybody knows what they are - some of them are brilliant, but most of them are just ok. The set has it's moments, but most of the time is only enjoyable. Half a star up for those 2 or 3 moments of brilliance. _________________ The grading system:

Roger Shah: 4 stars. Oddly enough I liked it. Generally I like Shah's production, I have to be in mood for them, but I find them pretty ok, balearic, as he describes them. Some of the tracks are cheesy as hell, but some other areincredibly good (like To The Sky with Chris Jones' amazing vocals). Shah presented all of his classics and I admit I had much fan relistening to them.
As for the whole party, music-wise it was pretty nice. A little less than I was expecting, especially from some DJs, and most of the times, everybody presented what they had produced or remixed themselves. That's the specific of a live event, I guess. If I was there, probably all the sets would be 5 stars, listening to them at work lacks the energy of all the people around you.
But still it was a great celebration with great music coming from the best djs. 4 stars for the event! _________________ The grading system:

And 5/5 for John O'Callaghan who rocked it ! 
Sied played a Gr8 Sequence with Radiator, As The Rush Comes & Outsider, but the rest was boring, hence his 3 Stars ! 
John O'Callaghan ripped it up and thus truly deserved Aly & Fila's invitation !
