I've been really looking forward to this especially as it moved from Pacha after 3 very successful season so I was very curious to see how their return to their original venue (albeit it was Heart then) would've have worked and I'm glad to say it didn't disappoint me.
First, even if for me this is not paramount when it comes to club nights, I like to say well done to the attention to details for the deco, every single corner has been given that Saga touch that makes it instantly recognisable if you are familiar with the brand.
I think Chinois more intimate feel really suits the party, it was pretty busy but never felt uncomfortable or pushy and you could easily get into the dancing as people were actually doing what people do or better said, should do when they go to a club, dance!!
There was very little or next to nothing of that standing around holding smartphone filming or taking photos which is so refreshing to see these days.
Up for it crowd, a bit slightly older and less "touristy" if you see what I mean, thing that unfortunately I felt started to taint the experience at Pacha last year.
Music wise it was great all night long from the opening set from Ageless then to a fantastic b2b from Jimi Jules and Trikk and to finish it off with the Bedouin guys that came on at 3:00am and filled the room with their very recognisable sound all the way to 6:00 am.
I'll be very curious to see how the season develops as there are big competitors to face on a Sunday night this year but if this is how it's going to carry on I have a very good hope.
Definitely an improvement and I'll certainly be back on numerous occasions!
