Pretty sure you left way after 4am hahah. Come back for more shots soon!! ;-)
agree with most of what you say, but it seems unavoidable on these forums to escape the "how busy was it" debate. Often this seems to be more important than whether the music or party was good itself, or how the crowd was and the atmosphere. For the record, I've been to many events myself that I consider legendary, regardless of how many people were there. Sometimes, a smaller crowd made it more special; other times, being in the midst of a packed club and the energy that created, made for something equally as special. Even at the most packed events, you'll find most people there having the time of their life and not bothered by how crowded it might be. I know for a fact personally, it was 100% to do with me and my expectations / feelings, whenever I didn't enjoy being in the mixer.
As busy as DC10 can get and as widespread as it is known, the club still sits outside how most of the others operate. No posters, no flyers, no tickets on the street. Everyone is welcome but you have to make a bit of effort at least if you want to go. Given the number of times I've seen an almost motionless dance floor of punters at many big events this summer, surely it's better to avoid diluting the crowd / atmosphere just for the sake of numbers. One of the most worrying trends I've seen this year is the amount of people in clubs who simply just aren't clubbers in any sense of the word. Ibiza is built on attracting new potential customers to experience the magic it has to offer, but there is a big difference between a kid on a package holiday having the time of their life, compared to a group of guys in chinos and polo shirts wandering around a club like it's a tourist attraction.
regarding the live, it's a big challenge and unprecedented to do something like this here, but things evolve and new things have to be tried.
hopefully see you again in the Tuesdays to come mate.
N.B. for context , I'm running Tuesdays at dc10. Hope to see some spotlighters there this summer. The chupitos are on me!
