This is how I would describe my night at El Divino for Hed Kandi on the 11th of Spetember and again on the 18th! These were the only nights that I was really bothered about going to as I love all things Kandi but I really hope that they might consider moving to a different venue for next year as my nights were really spoilt by the fact that I couldn't bloody move/breathe let alone dance. I am sure it was a hazard the number of people that had been crammed in, at one point I managed to grab a space on the edge of the dance floor near the terrace which gave me a bit of air but I felt it was such a shame as all these stunning girls who had obviously spent alot of time getting ready were escaping to the terrace looking like they had been running a marathon, sweat dripping everywhere!!!
Going to the toliet was a definate no no and trying to get served at the bar well don't get me strarted on that, the bar staff were very rude and it took 30 mins to get served on one point. Needless to say that we paid 50 euros on the door on the 11th, long story behind that and we only ended up staying for 2 hours which I was gutted about but I was hot & sweaty, sober, had bruised feet from so many people standing on them, no room to dance, needed to pee got pushed down the stairs twice as there were so many people sat, stood and generally coming and going on them, and the final straw was that I ended up have a panic attack which is something I have never expereinced, and no I am not a hyer condriac!

I went to Hed Kandi the year they were in the back room in Eden which was great and I also saw them at Eldivino last year but again had the same experience as this year but not quite so bad but still a hazard I would say, apart from the fact that someone kindly put 2 out of our party of 4 on the guest list, big mistake we arrived earlish our blokes went in with the money and we got in the other Q which wasn't very long, as the blokes went in our Q shut and remained that way for nearly an hour. On asking what was going on we were told by staff that we could move across and pay the on the door price, slight problem with that the guys had the money so we were stuck! Needless to say the whole time our Q was shut the other pre tickets/pay on the door was moving.

I know that the popularity of Hed Kandi has grown over the last few years but I wonder if they might move to a bigger venue next year or at least restrict the numbers so its reasonably comfortable/safe inside for those who pay the money out for a ticket and it really does spoil what is a fantastic night!!!!

Sorry to moan HK guys but I am sure you like your followers to be happy ones and as you will see I have not had very good experiences recently !!!

"Put em high!" brings new meaning, that was the only place I could put my hands!

:roll: :(
 
Can't agree with you more Lotte.................was there on the 18th for the closing party. Danced near the doors to the terrace all nite & think I was probably one of those girls escaping out of the terrace doors looking like a drowned rat !!
It was the first time I'd been to El Divino and I was really surprised at the size of the club, ok its in a lovely place but its just not suitable for that capacity. The biggest joke was trying to get down the stairs by trying to fit my high heels into small gaps between peeps arses lol
They really do need to sort it out :)
 
I had the same experience on Saturday the 4th, what really capped it for me was when I finally got served at the bar, the water was warm .... that should be illegal!
Also, when we were leaving, 10 young guys were entering the club wearing matching polo shirts with their nicknames on the back. I dont think I need to comment any further on this ;)

Lasted 2 hours as well, was a let down I must say but Space more than made up for it the next day and in a strange way I was grateful for not getting wasted the night before so I could appreciate Space to the full.

Still love kandi though, bring on Pacha ....
 
El Divinos a fookin dump other than the Terrace - just stay outside on the Terrace until it thins out inside at 4/5am maybe?
 
yeah Nish I have to say I kind of agree about Eldivino Pacha is far better!

I get your point about the terrace but if I pay the money and go to a HK night I don't really want to sit outside all night where you can't hear the music that well and there isn't really the atmos. I hope HK moves venues next year or at least restrict numbers so its a more pleasurable experience as I would be reluctant to go through a night like I had on the 4th again!!!

Have to say had a fab night at Pacha London for HK in July, busy but room to move and dance which to me is very important.
 
I was tempted to go to Kinki Malinki there, but Cocoon was far too good to risk it, but it is nice to go to a normal sized club sometimes...I guess if Hed Kandi was that popular then next year it will be in somewhere larger, but where? Pacha?

lol, no way, they got kicked out of pachas back room a few years back, doubt they'd be allowed back :lol:
 
Ya picked a good spot by the steps near the terrace - I spent most of my night there on the steps under the A/C and it was great lol.

I was there all night just dancing on the ramp with the big table or whatever it was in front of me . This was just below the steps that lead to the toilets

I found it very good and comfortable here . never moved until the last 30 mins where i then sat on steps - too f***ed lol
 
I like HK but refused to go again this year due to the venue. I did go to El Divino for Defected and it was also rammed :evil: .I tryed to not let it ruin my night.

The club is far too small and I am sure they let in far too many clubbers that is considered 'safe'.

If HK is back at Divino next year again - I won't go

Perhaps they should move to space on a Saturday night and play a different style of Kandi in each room :?:

Terrace/Disco
Inside/Twisted
Red room/Back to love
Roof terrace/Chill

At least there would be room to dance.
 
Dont reckon You'd get any more people in Es Paradis than El Divino? Maybe a hundred or so more tops?

Reckon it would suit Eden best, they could get loads more in and have the back room for back to love classic tunes type thing. Lots of people knock Eden but as a club its not that bad is it? Its large, got a decent sound system, decent lighting, lots of bars, easy to get to.....its just the crowd it attracts thats shit cause of where it is....i think you'd get alot of people not going HK if it was there because of that. and you'd then get loads more chavs instead :?
 
thats why it would suit eden cos when i went to el divinios there was more chavs in there than anynight ive been to at eden-FACT

Not unless they had a strict door policy :!:

I dont think its that bad really, it could do with a major refurb inside but its okay. I prefer Eden to El Divino's anyway and thats saying something. You all know my views on El Divino. The Air con at Eden is much better too. Its all over the place rather than just in certain spots.

Not sure if Eden would be too small tho, Hed Kandi Ibiza seeems to be growing.
