on observations
went to circoloco on monday night - got there only after midnight because I wasn't interested in the artists that played beforehand. terrace was perfectly busy all night - very busy but really on a bearable level - main room never got full. really liked magda and dj tennis, also got some banging dettmann and some troxler on terrace.
it's just a personal impression, but the combo of a pretty high ticket price and the fact it's rather hard for locals to get list for it (it's not impossible, but not one of the ones you can easily get) isn't beneficial for the party. if you look back, circoloco used to be one of the cheapest/most reasonably priced events. so even if you couldn't get list you could afford the ticket. over the past decade the price has gone up and it's now one of the most expensive tickets in that musical sector while other parties in the same genre have actually gotten cheaper.
on the upside - drinks are still the most reasonable on the island, the music was great and it's actually nice to have some space to dance! I'll keep on going lots this year!
