Right now the Cocoon afterparty is taking place.
(Photos removed at behest of Cocoon. Maps too are discouraged. If you want to know what they're like, you'll have to go.)
It's the latest in a truly epic series of parties that started with the consistently awesome Sónar in Barcelona, continued at Circo Loco @ Dc10 yesterday (photos here), followed by Cocoon's opening party which started at 11pm for the first time ever. The music at Amnesia stopped at 7am.
In the main room at André Galluzzi laid down an insistently funky techno groove before Sven Väth came on and tranced it up, but not in a bad way. On the terrace Ricardo Villalobos pulled out his best atonal clicky house numbers, even veering into electro territory when the mood took him. Rhythmically it was also challenging - the beats were so syncopated they almost sounded out of time yet Ric always manages to pull the different drum patterns together to form a satisfying climax.
Trainspotters and party animals are agreed - Cocoon are once again on form.
Next week (June 26):
Sala principal - Miss Kittin, Johannes Heil (live), Dominik Eulberg
Terraza - Tobi Neumann, Mar-T
