Gareth Emery @ DS
Overall rating: 4.5

I live in Leeds and to have DS on my doorstep is a blessing on disguise. DS never fails to deliver!
As for GE...the guy is amazing, everytime i see him he blows me away and for that I put him in #3 in the DJ poll. The live acts were quality too and give the night added special bonus!
10/10 on all fronts!

Gareth Emery
Overall rating: 4.5

well where do i begin.what an absolutly amazin nite.every set from start to finish was off the rails and that includes sean tyas(its just a shame that he had to deal wi technical difficulties and if the tech had been payin attention instead ov being on his phone then he wud av realised sumet was wrong)as for gaz emery he really gave one ov the best sets i think hes ever done.all i can say is when shultz,joc cum to the o2 in december its guna take sum beatin bt ive no doubt that another great nite is in prospect

Easily one of the best nights of my life, Emery on fire playing track after track. The four hour set just flew by.

It was AWESOME. Full stop.

02 - DS June 2010
Overall rating: 3

Very dissapointed with the turnout, I think the third time round, DS have over-cooked it and got a bit arrogant with the 02 on the same night as loads of other nights in Manchester. The venue wasn't as intimate and relaxed as Stinkys, and after paying £17 to get in, wasn't too impressed with being in the small room. Aside from that, it was friendly and the music was good, although a little hard all night. Unless a big line-ups announced, I won't be going back to DS at the 02 after over a year of attending their nights. I understand they'e trying to grow and become more profitable and stable, but the 02 is just too big a venue without serious backup.

DS does the 02...again
Overall rating: 4.5

Another excellent digital night, good effort by the organisers, the music was banging, the people were friendly and the atmosphere was as said, a digital society. Looking forward to the june edition, but hope punters aren't deterred by A&B in Machester, should be another storming event. Perhaps they could let people go upstairs to smoke this time if there are no VIP's as the bin-area gets a bit crowded and isn't too good for chatting.

Digital Society = best trance night in UK
Overall rating: 4.5

The whole night was pure quality. Andy Moor played a superb set, then A&B produced the best set i've ever seen them play. Lost for words. Super8 (no Tab) then took it to the next level. Absolute class, top night, one of the best in my entire life. Well done DS team, you've taken DS to a new level.

what a night
Overall rating: 4.5

Digital society has done it again.
Potentially it was one of the best nights i have been to for a long long long time.
The venue the atmosphere the set up the sound system the MUSIC it was amazing.
Above and beyond pulled it out of the bag again and super8 + tab were equally as good.
I would recommend it to anybody who loves trance music.
CHEERS DS FOR MAKING IT A TRUELLY MEMORABLE NIGHT (AMAZING) HAPPYDAYS

Ditto - cant get much better
Overall rating: 5

Amazin - as one would expect...

All the DJs played very good sets too

There was actually a point where it was that much of an assault to the scenes with how mental/incredible his set was that I had to leave the dance floor for a bit - never had that happen before

Filth 3rd Birthday!
Overall rating: 4.5

I absolutely love this venue! Thought it was abit too packed at first but as expected, the crowd started to dissapear after Faithless had performed. Having seen them at the Warehouse Project in December I was expecting a short set, but I thought that they performed far better this time!! The atmosphere was unreal and everyone was getting right into it!!
Dahlback got everyone in the mood for a wild night and got everyone up on the floor ready for Maxxi Jazz himself. And, Funkagenda, what can I say, what a guy!!! Ended the night with a bang playing on until the early hours. All in all, an outstanding night!!!

length of time was a rip-off and not as advertised, not enough bar staff and getting in was a joke.

Faithless @ Filth
Overall rating: 4.5

Filth great, Faithless a bit disappointing. Only 45 mins seemed a bit tight, but that didn't spoil an otherwise great event.
